There are people who will butter a pan and bake the cooked dumplings in a 350 degree oven for fifteen minutes. In my estimation this ruins the dumplings....Why not just make biscuits and be done with it....;-):lol:

I guess we will have to agree to disagree on dumplings. When done properly they are almost dry on top and just a little sticky on the bottom. Never slimy. Slimy bits of paste are not dumplings. I remove the dumplings from the pot as soon as they are done and put them on a warmed plate. My...

What are you some kind of commie....;-):lol: Made right, dumplings are a light and fluffy treat...:smile:

Oops. Sorry Karrie. I cut down a large salad but I didn't cut down the seafood so I can now understand your post. Three pounds of fish and a pound of lettuce are a little out of kilter....;-):smile:

Yeah, you could do that too. Jan's nursing classmates from Queens arrive every year or so and they think I'm a genius for inventing that salad.....;-):smile: (I don't know who invented it but I'll gladly take the credit..;-) I don't know what they might think if I presented it to them in a...

It was a joke Yukon. Get over it. Maybe you could comment on the Hungarian Goulash recipe I posted on Beef Recipes.;-)

Hungarian Goulash Hungarian Goulash is a very meaty, spicy beef stew that is great for dinner on a cold Winter night. Ingredients 4 tablespoons olive oil 1 large onion, coarsely chopped 1 large tomato, peeled, seeded and chopped coarsely 1 medium size green pepper, seeded and diced 4 pounds...

The way I cook short ribs, the bones invariably fall out so you're left with just the chunks of beef. As I said, very easy to slice into a sandwich...;-)

Over the last few months my computer has been slowing down. The quick fixes didn't seem to help anymore. I finally backed up most of the essentials and formated the hard drive and re-installed Windows XP. Everything is back up to speed, and it works fine but the speakers don't work. The...

Clam chowder There are thousands of different ways to make clam chowder but this is my favorite. I use canned clams because it is easier than messing with fresh clams, and canned clams don't have sand in them. Like all chowders, it is heavy on the potatoes and is a real comfort food...

Absolutely. That corn chowder came from a lady in Winnipeg. She used bacon but a bit of ham works just as well. When we were in Winnipeg our kids were quite young and they loved that chowder enough to ask for it quite often so I didn't usually mess with the recipe when it was for the kids.

There is a farmer I know just outside Nanaimo who cuts and wraps a whole lamb for me in the spring. The same guy puts together 15 to 20 pounds of short ribs for me and I cook these all at once and freeze them in two meal lots. This is the meat part of most of the stews I make. The other good...

That is a big chowder for the two of us but it sounds good and I'm sure it can be cut down fairly easily. ;-)

Sure, anything that works, though I've found that chopped potatoes simmered for an hour have cooked away a fair amount into the soup but with a chowder, the thicker the better...:smile:

Corn Chowder with potatoes and bacon This is a recipe that I got in Winnipeg at least twenty five years ago. Real comfort food on a cold day. Ingredients: 1 cup diced bacon (about eight rashers cut in 1/2 inch lengths) 4 medium potatoes, peeled and coarsely chopped 1 medium onion, chopped 2...

Former prime minister Brian Mulroney says he may have made some errors in judgment in his lifetime, but he isn't worried that the suggestion of impropriety in his dealings with Karlheinz Schreiber will affect his legacy. Suggestion of impropriety??? I guess that means that he thinks it is...

An Ontario father has been charged with assault after allegedly spanking his nine-year-old son with excessive force. The man, who is not being named to protect the identity of the boy, has been released from custody on a promise to appear in court on Sept. 30, said a new release Tuesday from...

We have a lady friend in the Okanagan...near Penticton. This lady put in twenty seven tomato plants. Right now she gets thirty five to forty large, ripe, tomatoes everyday. She says she's given tomatoes to everyone she knows, she's canned tomatoes, dried tomatoes, but it's getting ahead of...
