you guys gave me a craving for chowder. Looks like I'm pulling a ham out to cook. lol.

we're just starting to bring in our garden potatoes... I think I'm going to have to start making some of these chowders. Yum.

One of my family's faves is our leftover turkey dinner soup. They used to call it 'fruit salad' soup. we'd roast some butternut squash (almost any squash will do) with onions and butter. Then, when it was all nicely caramelized, run it through the food processor, add chicken/turkey stock...

I don't cook soups or chowders with a recipe as a general rule. I tend to basically scour the fridge and pantries, throwing in whatever I feel like, all the while smelling and nibbling ingredients to make sure they will taste good together. lol.

My daughter lie in bed, staring up at me from her pillow, and asked me how long until the wedding. "Saturday sweety. Only two more sleeps," I replied. "Yay! Finally!" was her excited reply. “Oh if only she knew,” I thought quietly to myself. No... it’s not that the happy couple took their...

it's a cherry/plum cross.

I have a chum bush in my yard, so a plumcot doesn't surprise me, even though I'd never heard of one either.

My gripe of the day is 'cleanses'. While I can understand the allure of some of the cleanses, those that market themselves for long term use strike me as nothing more than cleverly marketed bulemia. If I were to brag to my friends tomorrow that I'd lost 30 lbs by taking laxatives every day...

I know I've seen some really harsh PSA's in the past, but, this is the most recent 'pulls no punches' PSA I've seen. Warning, graphic YouTube - Don't text and Drive

I hate them. Plain and simple. I try to avoid using them. They strike me as the intellectual low of our era. And so, I kick off this list, of pathetic smush words. Feel free to add those that annoy you the most, or, your favourites. Most hated.... Frienemy. The only one I like...

Wow. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who doesn't get motion sick. Right now I'm lying in bed trying to shake the queasiness, and replaying the movie in my head. An exciting, fresh look at the issues of immigration, segregation, and racism, I really enjoyed it.

On an intellectual level, I don't get why you're gagging.... we eat intestines in a lot of Western cooking... usually as casing for our sausages which are made of any assortment of gross scrap meats. We sell pork rinds, which is really not much different from pig ears. And the fact that...

I used to constantly make eggs in the microwave when I was a kid. For a fried egg sandwich effect we would simply scramble an egg into a square tupperware dish... it would fit the sandwich perfectly that way, and you could watch to make sure you didn't petrify it. As for the cups, I've never...

Okay guys. I know I was less shocked by gerry's posts because I had seen his anger building over this issue across two forums and in conversations off forum. So, I'll pose the question the way I feel it should have been posed (sorry ger). Whose death deserves respect, and whose doesn't...

Because I was looking for some light reading over my morning coffee.... Six Sigma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I'm not sure who this sort of thing might appeal to, but, I found the criticisms section of the Six Sigma System to be an interesting read after having read through the rest...

It was partly in light of where Niflmir lives, partly in light of T's post on the matter. :lol:

Call your local soup kitchen, I bet they'd come over and help you pick in a heartbeat :)

Oh indeed... when in doubt, nip on over to Italy and get tomatoes.

In BC that is!! Yeppers, family road trip. Two weeks, from Edmonton to the coast. We're hitting Enderby, Salmon Arm, and Kelowna as dedicated stops to see friends and family. Along the way I want to SEE what BC has to offer, not just drive through it. So, all you beautiful BC folks, offer...
