Re: [CnD] So sorry everyone!
I'm different. I agree with Steve. If I see more than 5 recipes of the same thing, I might look at them all, but usually I delete the ones in the middle, cause I got too much going on to sit and go through recipes I do not need. Then again, I will say I like lots to choose from, just not all at once. I am a crocheter, but I'm picky about patterns I get, cause I only keep the ones I know I am going to make. The same goes for recipes. I only keep what I know I will fix, not ones I might. I love this list, though. The tips are wonderful, and it keeps me motivated knowing there are many others who cook without sight.

I have a good selection of spices that my friend got me but none of it is labeled for me to use. I will have to do that and will more than likely use my pen friend for that task. Do any of you have any other suggestions for other basics?

Re: [CnD] Fried Eggs
Tara, you will need to experiment a bit to get the eggs the way you like them, but here is how I do fried eggs. I like mine with the whites set, and the yolks Goldilocks style, which is to say, not too runny, not too hard, but just right. Smile. Either spray a pan well with cooking spray, or melt a teaspoon or two butter. Break the eggs into the pan; sprinkle with salt and pepper and onion powder. Cover the pan and turn heat to medium. Push the bread down in the toaster. When you hear the eggs start to sizzle, leave them for about twenty seconds, then turn off the stove. Let them stand, covered, in the pan while you butter your toast. Then tilt the pan onto your plate, and the eggs should slide right out. If your toaster takes its sweet time toasting, you may want to uncover the frying pan a minute or so after turning off the stove. As I said, you'll need to experiment to figure out the correct timing. Doing it with the pan covered means that you will have eggs-over-easy without having to turn them over. hth.

Re: [CnD] recipes for singles
Jay, two easy things to do are steaks and lamb chops. You can take them straight from the freezer; no need to thaw before putting them in the oven. Take two sheets of foil and line a 9-inch by 13-inch cake pan with them. Spray the foil with Pam cooking spray, or other cooking spray of your choice. Place steaks or lamb chops on the foil. When sprinkling on seasonings, sprinkle just enough to coat the surface of the meat. I use Spike or seasoned salt, seasoned pepper, onion powder, a little garlic powder, and McCormick's Grillmate Smokehouse Maple seasoning. Turn the meat over, and sprinkle that side with the seasonings. Place the pan, uncovered, in a 400-degree oven, (no need to preheat), and cook on one side for 20 minutes. Take the pan from the oven, lift the meat with a fork and turn over. If desired, after turning it over, add your favorite barbecue sauce. Place back in the oven and continue cooking for 20 additional minut. If you have thawed the meat, cook about 17 or 18 minutes per side. When it's done cooking, turn off the oven and let stand in the oven while you fix your vegetables. Letting it stand for about 10 minutes allows it to reabsorb the juices, and it becomes quite a juicy steak or lamb chop.
