Thank you:) > > > > -- > This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. > https://www.avg.com I tried out a recipe for Portuguese sweet bread. It was pretty easy because I mixed it up in a bread machine but baked it in the toaster oven. The recipe is a good one. I added a half teaspoon of turmeric to give the color a slight bump. The next time, I'll bake it in the bread machine. when I went to check out the rise of the dough, there was a great commotion in the living room. The cat was going crazy and there was a loud chirping noise going on. I thought the cat was injured. When I checked, the cat had grabbed my daughter's canary and was trying to dispatch it. That was pretty alarming. The cat was in a frenzy and was quite difficult to grab. He dropped the bird and it looked all broken up. It had fainted but later revived. I can't say if it'll live but that's one lucky bird. I had just come out of the bedroom to check on the bread. If I came out a minute or two later, that would be one dead burd. https://kitchendreaming.com/portuguese-sweet-bread/ |

The only cooking pleasure I get is cooking for him so why > wouldn't i bother to give him what he likes!! > > Really you couldn't make it up!!! if i cook for myself there is a lot more spices and heat. i much prefer my own cooking over anything from take out or pre-processed. price alone makes it worth doing my own cooking and also a lot less goes to waste. take out always has a lot of packaging. if i buy 5lbs of ground meat that is in one wrapper and i can cook it into chili or some other recipe and put the results into freezer portions where there will be no other packaging involved. using glass those will get reused, lids also will be reused until they show defects. now all lids and jars can be recycled in our bins so none of the broken or defective items go to the landfill. to me this is very much less expensive but also making sure i'm not generating a lot of waste. food scraps from cooking all go to the worm farm and from the worm farm any results go to the gardens so that is not wasted and going to a landfill. songbird |

Preparing a meal for myself might consist of opening a can of tuna and eating it out of the can or making a cheese sandwich. Cooking for myself is kind of a drag.

I still cook enough for six meals, two diners to eat now and four dinners for the freezer. I keep the freezer well filled with cooked food... easy to add a salad/veggie to complement a cooked dish. Sometimes dinner can be cheese, crackers, and fruit. |

I've got some chicken marinating right now, and about an hour ago, I took out the neck and floured and fried it. This might be my best batch ever. Very simple marinade, just water, sweet paprika, salt, cayenne, Extra Hot chili powder https://www.amazon.com/Swad-Extra-Ho.../dp/B004A0VC2G black pepper, MSG, thyme, disodium inosinate and disodium guanylate, and a tiny pinch of sodium tripolyphosphate. > > Cindy Hamilton --Bryan |

This is the 21st century, not the turn of the 20th. (To be fair, it bothers me when Dave refers to his wife as "Megatron", too. It just doesn't sound respectful.) A few people have mentioned my living alone. That's got nothing to do with it. When I was married my husband liked canned pork & beans. I despise them. I served them but I always made sure to cook something *I* liked, too. Jill |

I should consider myself lucky that my wife will eat just about anything. She hates beets and Lima beans and a few other things. I am indifferent to beets, not at all fond of Lima beans, so I don't bother cooking them. There are a few things that neither of us cares for. |

I am indifferent to them. If someone serves them to me I will eat them. If I see Borscht on a menu I am likely to order it. Tonight she is grilling a corn cob for me. She doesn't like the carbs in corn so she is not having any. I don't care for liver (and bacon or onions), so she sometimes orders that in restaurants. She often has an omelet breakfast. I do not like omelets, so if she is making breakfast or brunch for me she will fry, scramble or poach eggs. I wish I could get her excited about rice and beans. It's mainly the carbs for her. I like them and would like to make them, but I don't want to have to eat them all myself, and I am not into eating leftovers. |

If I was indifferent to beets and saw Borscht on the menu I'd be likely to ask if there is another soup. LOL The only beets I've ever tasted were canned things my parents liked. We had to try them, at least once. Then thankfully never again. It left a lasting negative impression. Mom used to hide turnips in stew, too. Trying to disguise them as potatoes. LOL Sorry, just can't jump on board. I don't like carrots or turnips, either. My parents used to make a dish using a combination of cooked diced carrots and turnips. <shudder> > Tonight she is grilling a corn cob for me.

Carbs from corn on the cob vs. rice and beans? Okay, now you sound like someone with a "gardener". Jill |
