Laura, it's great to have you. The CNd is cooking in the dark. Because you are on an email list serve, it is possible for everyone to get the same email that someone posts. For example, if you ask for or post a recipe, everyone on the list will see your post. If there is someone who feels they know the answer, they will reply back to you. You could get several responses to a recipe you post or a cooking question you might have. Hope this helps.

Howdy All, did something a little off the wall yesterday evening. I had some left over Apple Sausage Pecan Stuffing from Thanksgiving. It was frozen in the freezer... I thawed it out, added just a little water, just enough to get the stuffing moist enough to stay stuck together when I squeezed it into a ball about tennis ball size. Then I plopped it onto my hot waffle iron, and closed the lid! The result...a delicious waffle made of stuffing! I served the waffles along with some chicken noodle soup I made!

Tom, I know what you mean and what you are saying. I don't like to make a fool of myself and there have been many times I have not eaten the particular thing so I would not be made the laughing stock. I can well remember in school when we used to get cartons of milk daily. Rather than be imbarrassed or get laughed at because I couldn't open the cartons, I would simply give my milk away. Finally I had the courage to tell my mother and she showed me how to open the cartons. She wasn't the most patient in those matters. Getting back to your sandwich eilemma, if you are with friends that can see, you can always ask them to do it. There is no shame in that. You don't have to go without the spreads you want on you’re sandwiches because of feeling inadequate to be able to spread them. If you are in a restaurant and you are alone, you can always ask the wait staff to fix it. Just like asking them to cut meat for you before they bring food to the table.
