Flipping an egg over easy? Try using 2 spatulas, or a spatula and a fork
to grab one edge of the cooked white to gently turn it over, rather than
"flipping". Works a treat. When I "flip" them the yolk often breaks.

Wayne, hint: turn it over gently just after the white solidifies,
don't toss it in the air like a pancake. Two spatulas are not
required.


Oh, I don't "flip" them anymore. I do turn them gently, and I usually use
just one spatula and a fork to just grasp the edge against the spatula.
Works great for me. Perfect everytime.

What if they already know how to make their favorites? When they come
home they ask for the things they know but are too lazy (or have too
little time) to make themselves. g
So they "remember" me as the one who'll indulge them, as with:

arroz con pollo with andouille sausage
osso buco
homemade egg noodles with coq au vin or beef stew
spicy eggplant

Then we grill steaks or go out for good Chinese. -aem

BTW, not a foolish question, but do you pronounce your name N(eye)na or
N(ee)na? I ask because the name is the same as one of my co-workers and
she pronounces it N(ee)na. I have rarely heard it pronounced that way
before.

No kidding? Out here N(eye)na is considered unusual.

I'll go first.

A detailed recipe for making pirohy; a couple of fillings would be
included;

My bread and butter pickles with tips on how to efficiently wash them
and the correct thickness of the slice;

My cream cheese coffeecake with the notations about making six and
freezing them, and the story about one of its blue ribbons;

I suppose I'd have to include The Brownies;

Pot roast, including cut, prep, and what to do with the leftovers.

I think those are less a sign of the times than they are a sign of me.

Great question, Barb!
Ok, just off the top of my head, I'd have to include:

Ribs, Chicken & Dressing...along with how to pick out the best ribs and cut the
chicken

Standing Rib & Pot roasts...and, maybe more importantly, The Gravy.

Doughnuts....the recipe isn't mine, exactly, it was the same one my grandma used, but
it's a family tradition!

My Green Beans- a slightly different method, steamed, then sautéed

And Pie...including crusts, fillings, toppings. I don't know if I could chose just
one, so I'd have to include the blackberry-apple streusel, chocolate cream, and
black-bottom coconut cream pies

I am sure five minutes after I click send, I'll have thought of something else or
something better ;-)

Ok, remember how I said I would probably think of something right after hitting
send?? hehe

Pulled Pork! I don't know why it slipped my mind. Everyone loves it, and they always
clamor for more when I make it (since I don't do it that often). Yes, from rub to
grub, I'd just have to include pulled pork.

Is this going to be the detailed, illustrated recipe I sent you, from
http://www.heartofeurope.co.uk/features_recipe_specials2.htm?

My bread and butter pickles

My cream cheese coffeecake

The Brownies

Pot roast

Yet again, there is a very conspicuous omission. I think you are being
very unkind - hostile, actually - to your kids and to Sam.

Thanks. You are so right. She was killed in a car accident in 1996 when
she was 21. She was between her junior and senior years of college. I
remember thinking at the grave site that there must be something wrong
in the universe.

Good Lord, how awful for you, Janet. I can't even begin to imagine how
much sorrow this brought to your family. I'm so sorry.

Second way, like your coworker, and not a silly question at all! The
funny thing is that I've known loads of N(ee)na and no N(eye)nas at
all, so maybe it's regional?

Or generational? My great-aunt (born in 1892) was a Nina, pronounced
with a long "i." Born in Iowa, moved to AZ when AZ was still a
territory, so I doubt it's regional. shrug

This was really hard to pare down, but some of my kids' favorites
include:

my (maternal) grandmother's buttermilk biscuit recipe
my (paternal) grandmother's fried chicken recipe
my MIL's sour cream pancakes
my version of beef ragout
my version of white bean and ham hock soup

Recipes upon request :-)

Absolutely! It's just plain wrong. That type of loss is beyond
sorrow for me, it's absolutely unimaginable heartache.

I remember when a friend's daughter was killed by a drunk driver who
swerved into her lane - it was a head on collision. Her college aged
(and sober) DD was the driver, all the other occupants in the car
survived.

Are you going to post them in the Signature Dishes section of the
unofficial rfc website or do we have to make a special section for
this type of recipe.... which isn't a bad idea - come to think of it,
*Cathy*.

My "request" is for the sour cream pancake recipe. Thanks!
