I know that feeling. I think they just taste yuk. I love bell peppers but we can't have any in my house because my housemate is allergic to them. That, and onion, and garlic! All things that I dearly love.

I love anything with good sausage which I can't get here.

I have one about 2 ft wide that my husband used to use too pour something into the car. I would happily send you just to get rid of it. But then, you said you have a small apartment with little storage space and it's not very decorative. Maybe you could put a potted plant in it when you're not using it.

That was my thought immediately.

Thanks for the recipe. Personally, I can't stand artichokes myself. I think they're slimy. But I have a dear friend, a California girl, who is always looking for artichoke recipes. I'm sending this straight to her.

I always try to get this cut if I can. It has more marbling and more flavor. And actually this is what they called the Boston butt or the pork butt.. seems rather strange but the pork butt is from the front shoulder of the pig.

Beautiful pasta. Have you tried any with semolina?

They look great to me.

Thank you so much for the recipe. Dinner tonight looks wonderful, too.

That looks so good and so interesting. Thank you. Did you make the flatbreads?

That looks so good! Makes me want to go back and by the one that I saw. But then I would have to give some dinner parties to justify the price and I would probably burn my house down.

The one that I used to have looked just like this one. But it was kind of a flimsy, tin like affair, but then that was 40 years ago, too. When they said that it could blow up, it was flimsy enough that I believed it and stopped using it.

Thank you. Look forward to hearing more about that center section. Years ago I had a small little Mongolian Hot Pot that I was supposed to put coals in the center section to heat the soup. then somebody told me they could explode from the coals in the center section and I was afraid to use it anymore. Besides, to be perfectly truthful, it was a pain in the butt, but then, I always thought fondue was a waste of time also. Too much work just to appear ostentatious.

Please, I need your help. I can't imagine what this wok would be used for. That piece in the middle is welded to the wok. Do you have any idea how this would be used? I saw this in my Chinese restaurant supply place and the young man that owns the store wasn't much help. The wok is about 14 or 16 in. wide. It looks like it would make a heck of a good chip and dip dish but I can't imagine the Chinese sitting down to a feast of chip and dip. Much less, eating them out of a wok. I'm sorry, I can't get the second picture out of this post

Thank you for the tip. I used your idea, well sort of. I crisped the bottom of the tortilla in a grill pan before I baked the pizza in the oven and it turned out perfect. Made 2 tonight and they were the best ever. the one on the left is an Italian pizza with Italian sausage, mushrooms, anchovies and 4 cheeses. The one on the right is Mexican, more like a tostada, with refried beans, taco meat, olives, pepper strips, tomatoes and three kinds of cheese. I made that one for a Nicaraguan girl that is staying with us. She loves Mexican food. Terrible picture but they sure tasted good. Nice crispy crust. .

I also like using tortillas for pizza crust. They sell a big thick tortilla here with fresh basil in it. The one problem that I have had is getting them crispy enough. I'm going to use your method. Thank you very much for the idea. Yours look absolutely delicious.

Everytime you post I'm afraid I'm going to ruin my tablet. It's not waterproof.

Ann also has another site just for her Recipes. if you go to this site be prepared to spend hours. They are all amazing.

Thank you for the link, Ann. If there are any of you out there still unfamiliar with Ann's site, you have to go there. It is one of the most beautiful on the internet. The recipes and photography are phenomenal. I have spent many a happy hour there just browsing and drooling.

I hope you never have to use it for that, that's an awfully small bedpan.

Now I'm curious. Did you buy it for this purpose or strictly as a curiosity and to perplex the rest of us? I am very impressed with the design of this. they have even taken into consideration it's use for left-handers, although, didn't you say at one time that left-handers are rare in China?

I'm sorry, my first thought was that it looks like a hospital bedpan. The actual use is even stranger.

Nice to see that someone else thinks that cinnamon rolls aren't only for breakfast.

you can have your sardines I'll take the peppers. I had a craving for them when I was pregnant and haven't been able to look at them without getting nauseous since.
