      Aaron, Vermont Country Store used to sell them, but when I checked their site just now, I can't find them. Walmart online has them, if you can wait for delivery.

          BakerAunt, you're doing better with your resolution than I. Congratulations!

            BakerAunt, I have not heard about restaurants using preservatives on lettuce, but it would not surprise me. I'll ask this question the next time I go to a restaurant, which won't be for a while.

            I searched online to see if garlic extract is used by restaurants, but didn't find an answer. Apparently there is garlic extract, and there are a few references that it's healthful. But I think solid garlic is also claimed as healthful.

              thanks, BakerAunt, for the blade update. I hope mine arrives before Easter.

                KIDPIZZA, thanks for the tomato soup recipe link. I'll probably try it during the summer, when I can access fresh tomatoes. I had a cup of this week's tomato soup with a grilled cheese for lunch. Believe me, the recipe looks much tastier.

                luvpyrpom, I'm curious: Are you saying you canned your syrups? I don't can. I wonder if they can be frozen. The syrups would probably taste better with summer berries than the strawberries I used.

                  From Martha Stewart's website, I just made "Creamy Tomato Soup." I ended up adding some sugar to offset the bitterness of the tomatoes, and I added more half 'n half hoping it would also help. Aaron, I considered baking soda, but I wasn't sure how much to use. I will serve this soup to a guest, but I don't like adding sugar to savory food.

                    Aaron, my mother-in-law was an excellent cook of Mexican food. She always made her enchiladas with mole, and I wouldn't eat them. I never thought of making them with something else. I'm going to call around and see if anyone sells the Frontier Grill product. Thanks for the idea.

                    Carnitas is a good idea, too. I like them, but had never thought of freezing them.

                      RiversideLen, what a great idea -- berry sauce for ice cream! I'm going to buy ice cream and strawberries next time I go to grocery. I guess I should also buy yougurt so I have something healthful to eat with the sauce, too.

                        KIDPIZZA, thanks for your suggestions. I will try two of them, but not the crab cakes. I don't know where to buy imitation crab or even the real thing.

                        Mike, I would never have thought of making individual pot pies. I've never worked with puff pastry. Do you have to vent it like a top pie crust?

                        I don't like mole, so I'll not make enchiladas, Aaron, but lasagna is a good idea.

                        Thanks to all of you.

                          This morning, I made Paula Deen's "Easy Rolls." Recipe at Food Network.

                            For the first time in my life, I made strawberry syrup to go on strawberry pancakes.

                                Thanks, Mike & BakerAunt for your comments. The toothbrush idea sounds good. I had thought of searching for pipe cleaners, but a toothbrush is easier to find. Problem is I went to the store to buy kids' Valentines Day cards yesterday and forgot to buy a toothbrush. I don't store any of them in the house. I buy them as I need them.

                                  The "Yeast Dinner Muffins" (WSJ that Mike sent our way) has yeast without requiring a rise. They rose nicely and tasted good, except I'll use a little less sugar next time.
