    recipe organisation

    ...and I also have a letter sized file for pages (articles) I clip from magazines.  Main difference between your system and mine is I organize recipes by food type instead of alphabetically (one section for beef - one for salads - one for soups - one for pasta - etc.).  Robyn

    I have 2 letter-sized hanging-file boxes for mine and also go by food type: Main Courses, Soups, Salads, Appetizers, Breads, Desserts, etc.

    About every 5 years I go thru and weed out the files. With nearly every other one, I wonder to myself, "What was I thinking when I kept this?!?!" :laugh:

    Dough seal on clay pot

    I just thought of something. What about the Chamba pots? I am not sure if they are "glazed" or not. (They are my after-Christmas treat to myself.)

    From the website:

    The innate elegance and usability make black Chamba pottery perfect from cooking to serving. There are no toxins used in the production since no glazes are used

    Edited to add that the bolding in the quote is mine.

    Green bean salad?

    in Cooking

    Posted

    I make one occasionally that goes something like this (no real recipe):

    green beans cooked but still crispy

    sliced red onion

    crumbled blue cheese

    a nice homemade vinaigrette--use whatever you like

    You can add other things according to taste: capers, green peppercorns, pimento or roasted red pepper, chopped boiled egg, etc.

    This can be served chilled or at room temp.

    The Toast-N-Serve Magic Bag

    I ordered a pair of these last summer after reading this thread. I've used them 2 or 3 times. One of them scorched the first time I used it. And this later design with the "snap" fasteners doesn't hold in anything leaky. I put in a grilled cheese the first time and the cheese ran out the bottom.

    Very disappointing. :hmmm:

    Edited to add that it took a couple of emails to even get them. I paid via PayPal and it was over a month before I got them. What-his-name (Warner?) said in his last email that he'd send a free gift to compensate for the delay, but (surprise!) it never arrived. :rolleyes:

    I was there years ago for a media party. (I was still in advertising.) It was quite nice, but it's been so long that I can't remember details or even which publishing company threw the party. I must say though that it wasn't nearly as nice as sailing around Boston Harbor on the Highlander II with Malcolm Forbes. :wub:

    edited to say that I meant I was at Club 33--not the Japanese place.

    Surreal! Serial Cereal Ingesters Run Amok!

    In all my many years I've never been a cereal fan. But (you knew there was a but coming didn't ya), I've got a new breakfast habit. Weetabix. Weetabix sprinkled with cinnamon and some Splenda. Then a splash of non-fat half and half and some non-fat milk. Then nuke it for about a minute. Almost like the cinnamon milk toast Mom used to make for us when we were sick. :wub:
