We made chicken salad rolls last night for supper and the kids demolished it. I sliced two chicken breasts super thin, marinated it in fish sauce and lime juice, and fried it with onion. The fillings are as simple or as complicated as you like. Rice or rice noodles, shredded veggies of your...

A St Albert resident wrote an editorial for the St Albert Gazette complaining, in short, that he doesn't want Habitat for Humanity building projects in his community because he feels that St Albert is of a higher standard than low income Edmonton. He even went so far as to attach his full name...

My time off this year for Lent was time well spent, and the arrival of Easter was a true joy. Part of my personal reflection involved my use of forums, and it was a reflection that started before I even left. An invitation to people to share what they do for lent, and me sharing what I...

bump for Avro.

Well, it's fast approaching. Mardi Gras.... beads, boobs, booze. But, following that, Ash Wednesday, and for many people, the observance of the Lenten season. I was pondering the observance we endured as kids... those horrific days of having to give up tv... lol... and my daughter's strict...

That's a great idea tenpenny. I'd never thought to do it that way even though we have the same side burner. The issue I have is that we have a few deep fried faves around here that you just can't get in a restaurant, so, we will make them once in a blue moon. Corn fritters are an example.

I deep fry once in a blue moon in a pot on the stove. It smells for a day or two. I can't imagine doing it more often than we do.

This is one we came up with this winter trying to use up leftovers... lol... Poutine Noel One bag oven fries Left over Christmas turkey Left over Christmas stuffing Left over Christmas gravy Dried cranberries thin slices of brie cheese And yes.... when cooking in my house, I find it very...

We eat frozen grapes in the summer too. Yummers!

Oh good God... on so many levels, sheesh. First of all, what kind of moron doesn't understand that gravy and cheese hold heat like a son of a bitch? There's a reason for the term 'pizza burn' to describe a blistered mouth. Cheese holds heat like a son of a bitch! They need to figure out a...

It grosses a lot of people out, but, in our house raw cabbage gets eaten like chips. Chopped up, tossed with some dill 'popcorn' spice. Yummy!

MMm...pickles, good thinking.

Okay folks, throw out your fave low cal tummy fillers!

If you've got some perennial spots set up for yourself you might also want to consider chives and thyme. Asparagus is also a great perennial to have from what I hear (I have yet to grow it myself).

Horseradish is a lot like rhubarb.... try to get rid of it and you just make it multiply. So, ditches tend to end up with tons of it, because if grind up one root with your equipment, you spread it like wildfire.

countryboy, you probably have tons of it around you already, and just don't know what to look for. I know a ton of ditches around here I could go dig horseradish out of, and it even grew where we lived north of the 58th. It is perennial indeed.

Around easter you should be able to find some fresh root in the markets. Buy it, plant it... you'll never be without that way. Just make sure to plant it somewhere out of the way. It's a pretty hardy 'weed'.

lol... I do that all the time! We try to make sure we try something new from the stores about once a week. How else do you ever learn how to cook with new things? Once i get home I research it, find out what to do with it, etc., and then whip up something. It hasn't failed us too many times...

I don't know how! Okay... I'll make it my avatar for a while.

Well, it's been ages since I started this thread, but, here it is.... the final tattoo hubby got a week ago.
