Old topic, this. Welcoming the winter temps and snow here, I made my winter hot punch... Cranberry and pineapple juice, water, along with brown sugar, salt, whole allspice, whole cloves and broken cinnamon sticks. Added rum, brandy and Rye whiskey. It really warms me up.

I’m a big fan of Two Potato Gratin. There are many recipe variations online.

On a PETA level that would bother me very much too. You could complain to Purdue, for what it's be worth.

For me it was LIVER! I was forced to eat it so I'd get up during dinner and go to the sink and throw the disgusting stuff behind the refrigerator. Didn't get caught til Mom moved the fridge to clean and found the moldy liver. By that time I'd been excused from that particular meat, along with the dreaded hominy that I also hated. Everything else I ate with no complaints.

Yeah, well I had lunch out today which means no real dinner. I survived on a handful of bagel chips followed by a half dozen Hershey minis from the Halloween sack of candy.

They're just not included in modern flatware sets. I miss having them.

combo cooker?

It's just not good business to find fault with the customer. She probably has experience with poor customer service in past transactions elsewhere. I didn’t see her pointing fingers at you.

What's become of the round soup spoons that I remember from years ago?

No. Way too futuristic to me. I'd be willing to bet that if you go with anything this modern that you'd be replacing it very soon. I think many folk would complain about it. It looks like plastic in the photo (I realize it’s not.)

I prefer substantial pieces like this.

@gfron1 No no no.....I would hate to have to eat with those pieces!

That's what they were called in my part of the world too. Haven't seen any in a very, very long time.

It would be necessary to know where you live to give meaningful advice.

I just discovered cold brew coffee this summer,. I use the packs that Starbucks makes and mix the finished brew with milk and vanilla syrup served over ice....it's really good stuff. sorry for the hijack.

What a beautiful glass!

My liquor store was out of Absolut Peppar so I bought STOL Hot instead, Big mistake, it's awful. I'll have to use it up in my bloody Mary’s instead. It tasted terrible when I used it in my Gibson.

I made this recipe last night....served with toasted and buttered ciabatta. A very good recipe. (I did add the beef sausage which was quite good.)

Amazingly enough there's one in Montana, though not exactly in my back yard so I'll have to enjoy it by proxy.

I meant the difference between ordinary green cabbage and the savoy type.

@chromedome Would you say the flavor of both cabbages is the same?

I've always wondered about the noise factor...doesn't it carry throughout the entire space?

Same here....took much longer than anticipated but after all was done, it was (nearly) worth all the hassle. We went on vacation thinking it would be finished when we returned; how foolish we were. Hope yours is much less stressful.

Thanks, this is good to know.
