    M & Ms

    Don't hurt yourself patting your own back. Lots of people here are good cooks. I've liked everything I've tried at M&Ms but I wouldn't use them for every meal.......too expensive. If I have to feed steaks to ten or twelve people, M&Ms is where I would go.

    Who is going to win the B.C. Election?

    I'm told the NDP have the election sewed up....Do they??? A lot of people remember what they did when they were last elected. Is it long enough ago to get them elected again? Will the Liberals elect another government? I have to admit that I just don't know. Any thoughts??

    Baked Beans

    You got that right. Most of the time I use a recipe only as a guide. After a while you get to know what works and what doesn't. My Mom was a great cook who rarely measured anything........never stewed about whether something was going to turn out or not.

    A May Heat wave????

    We registered 29 degrees this afternoon which is not any kind of a record, it is warm for the first week in May. Is global warming responsible? Whatever brought it, I love it. Nanaimoites can expect more of the same for the next week anyway. Thoughts?

    That does sound good. You used to be able to buy little angelfood cups that would hold a good helping of strawberries and cream. Often the best way to some dishes is the path of least resistance.....:lol:
