[CnD] Applesauce Recipe Request
Hello everyone, I would like to try making homemade applesauce. Though I've looked through my recipes, I don't have one. Would rather not go searching on the net just yet. So, any recipes would be very much appreciated. Thanks for any help.

Re: [CnD] How to fill a Container with hot water?
I use a liquid level indicator. In case you do not know, this is a two pronged device which you place over the rim of the cup ... and when the liquid reaches the level where the prongs are, it emits a sound. There are vibrating ones etc. They are battery operated. Ahhh, I will never burn my finger again--the previous method.

Re: [CnD] frying chicken and potatoes
Hi Louise, I can't say that I have seen your other messages on this subject. I'll give it a try. When I fry chicken, I usually poke a fork into a piece of chicken and flip it over as best as I can with the fork--and a finger or two. When I fry potatoes, I usually use a flipper/spatula and pick up a big bunch of them at once and flip them over--that works fairly well for me. Perhaps you could use a flipper/spatula with the chicken as well--or even tongs.

Re: [CnD] question about broccoli and cauliflower
Hello, Helen, in addition to smell, the things I watch for with broccoli and cauliflower are sliminess, limpness and if the little tiny flowers/whatevers are falling off the ends. Another thing is how firmly the outer leaves (only of the cauliflower) are attached--if they can be plucked off very easily, I would be concerned. If you have noticed none of these, I would say that if the cauliflower is still crunchy then it is still good. Hope this helps, Sherri To the other person who was curious about carrots and celery--sliminess holds true here too, and if the celery is really limp, I usually throw it out. You know the saying, when in doubt, throw it out. Sherri On 8/11/14, Helen Whitehead via Cookinginthedark wrote: > Hi everyone! > > I have a question regarding broccoli and cauliflower.
