I hope this is where this story belongs...... This story will warm you better than a coffee on a cold winter day: "We enter a little coffeehouse with a friend of mine and give our order. While we're approaching our table two people come in and they go to the counter - 'Five coffees, please. Two...

I don't know if anyone else has seen this but I came across this in facebook http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid868989705001?bckey=AQ~~,AAAAybGjzqk~,6NfTc6c241GVQxOh-GBHNHu5Cuhlf-y9&bctid=1920483752001

So does that mean that I can pick and use the dill that I have growing even thought they haven't flowered yet?

Spade, although that bit of film is very cute, it doesn't help me to make my pickles.

There isn't a farmers market near us. We live out in the sticks. Our dill isn't even a foot tall yet, but I have already picked two baskets of cucumbers from the 5 hills that we planted. I really love dill pickles but so far all I have been making is relishes and bread and butter pickles.

We just got back from the store and no fresh dill at all. I did pick up jars of dill weed. I found a site that suggests to use 1/4 tsp dill weed for a 3-5" sprig of fresh dill. That is why I wanted to know the difference between a sprig and a head of dill.

My cucumbers are ready but my dill is not. Can I substitute either dried dill weed or dill seed for the fresh dill? What is the difference between a head of dill and a sprig of dill? How much dill weed or dill seed would I use in place of the fresh dill?

I buy the same thing here but with a different name. I get 5 loaves of white or 4 loaves of whole wheat in the frozen food section. I use that but I find that the bread from the maker doesn't go moldy as quickly and I get a better variety for less money. I also like the fact that I know what is...

Thank you juan.

My boyfriend has a bread machine and I didn't like the packaged bread mixes he was buying so we put the machine away. I found a book at St. Vincent De Paul with recipes for making healthy bread from scratch in the machine. Unfortunately for some reason the whole wheat setting does not work in...

Have you heard about the trucker who has painted his cab and trailer with the names of all those who lost their lives on 9/11? The trucker's name is John Holmgren from Shafer, Minn. He has been 'pulled over' numerous times just so the troopers can get their...

Bounce This Along! The US Postal service sent out a message to all letter carriers to put a sheet of Bounce in their uniform pockets to keep yellow-jackets away. Use them all the time when playing baseball and soccer. I use it when I am working outside. It really works. The insects just...

I am allergic to shrimp. Can it be made without the shrimp?

Without the picture, would not believe it....Read under the picture... Pogo Moose Incident - Bracebridge , Ont , Canada 'They were laying new power cables which were strung on the ground for miles. The moose are rutting right now and very agitated. He was thrashing around and Got his...

To all those who gave me suggestions, I thank you. Here is the results of my efforts. I took 10lbs of tomatoes and ran them through the sauce machine that I have. Used the spice recipe with the following exceptions, we added 2 tsp more oregano and left out the chili pepper. Put it all in a...

Sounds like a plan to me.

They were a variety of the Roma family called Health Kick. I had never heard of them but the greenhouse where we got them said that they were very popular. They are some sort of hybrid designed to produce a larger crop, which they did, and not be susceptible to the usual tomato diseases. We...

Being that we are both Diabetic, we have a very accurate digital scale that we use to weigh our food portions with. I think that it will work just fine. Thank you for the suggestion.

I Have a hand crank machine that purees the tomatoes for me, it removes the seeds and skins and leaves a very thick base for tomato sauce and I don't have to blanch them first.

As I said I made tomato/garlic/basil sauce. I had to cook it down to half the volume which took about 8 hours on simmer. Would I need one or two cans of tomato paste and what size can. Where we shop I can get the small cans for 2@.88 when they go on sale.
