[CnD] French Toast?

2014-04-12 Thread Will Henderson
Hi. One of the things I enjoy eating for breakfast is French Toast. I've never made it before. How easy is it, and is it doable for a fairly recent guy in the kitchen? I am both wanting and willing to try. Will ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list

I can't imagine tuna salad sandwiches without celery and mayo. I like to add pickles or pickle relish and maybe sesame seeds. As for hot tuna casserole, it has to have something crispy like bread crumbs or grated cheese (not melted). Not sure about the cream of mushroom soup. Anyone have other i

Sherri, that's a good idea about putting the use-by date on goods you buy. I just tried to keep that information in my head, but since my head is useless, these days, I'm going to adopt your method of marking the products with the use-by date. Thanks for the idea. Take care. Jennifer On 4/12/

The spelling is almost correct; substitute a k for the c and you have it. I almost pasted in the recipe I have, but I remembered in time that you don't want recipes from the Internet. Baklava isn't really complicated, but you have to work quickly to keep the Phyllo dough from drying out. Jennife

Yes, that's correct: By putting the eggs in the skillet and covering the skillet, you do not have to flip the eggs over. A friend who was a chef at one time taught me that method, and I never use any other method, now. You can use butter or Pam or whatever you wish. Hope you find this method to

How about frittatas. This is a potato dish, sort of baked mashed potatoes as the base. A few years ago someone sent a recipe to the list that called for red and green peppers and some other veggies. It was great, but now I can't find it. There are some where your use mini muffin tins, but it

The commercial gave the basics away. It was an animated commercial, and the characters were vegetables. It started out with a male voice announcing, "I'm Sir Celery," followed by a female voice saying, "I'm Miss Parsley," and then a pair of very nasal voices sang, "We are the Onion Twins". Then th
