      I am roasting vegetables to bring to a neighbors party. Looking at recipes online I noticed some sights suggest cornstarch to make veggies crispy. Any ideas on this?

        Mike by coincidence I had boneless skinless chicken thighs in the freezer and I saw a recipe for chicken with honey mustard. I cheated and used the honey mustard I had in the fridge and topped the chicken with the mustard and leftover mozzarella cheese. It was yummy.

          I don't like raisins in my muffins. I thought we would try a recipe we never made before from a cookbook we own and then report on it and share it if it is good.

            We had herbed lamb loin chops with roasted potatoes and green beans. We usually buy the lamb chops at Costco. They are more than an inch and a half thick and they are very reasonably priced. I pinned the recipe from Epicurious and they still allow me to see it even though I am not a subscriber.

              Thanks BA. I really enjoyed that video! Can't believed Glen licked the bowl at the end. That is something I do even if it's not kosher.

                I had more figs from my neighbor so I made them into a preserve. I found a recipe on line for pork tenderloin with fig preserves. For the heck of it I brined my tenderloin in salted and sugared water before hand. The results were amazing if I do say so myself!

                  I guess I'm too late to the party. I always thought one of these days I would purchase one of these. I did have a friend who had one but he couldn't keep up with it. Anyway it sounds like it was/is a responsible company and I always feel sad when one has to go close shop.

                    This is probably a no no but I often leave the lid on my crockpot slightly askew so that it doesn't heat up as fast. It's very frustrating to say the least.

                      BA that sounds like fun. My husband just pointed out to me that I still have quite a few cookbooks in our cabinet. They were the ones I couldn't part with.

                        I sauteed some shrimp then added thai curry sauce from TJ's and asian medley steamed vegetables.

                          I had Martha Stewart's "Entertaining " cookbook.Nice pictures but not nice recipes. Away it went.

                            Happy Anniversary Mike. My husband and I were married in New Hampshire on the 16th ( 46 yrs. ago). For some reason I was thinking fall and my bridesmaids wore burgundy velour gowns. We had one bartender for 110 people and the temperature was in the high 80's....very warm. Oh well too late to do anything about it now.

                              BA We like pickles. I'll have to try them. Thanks.

                                My neighbor gave me some figs from her tree so I made a pork tenderloin recipe with figs that I had saved from years back. Today's recipes are rated which is helpful but most of them are written to advertise some product or tool. I find my older recipes more reliable.

                                  I just saw that Costco had avocado oil on sale. Did not check out to see if it said "extra virgin". I remembered reading the article but forgot what to look for until I saw your post. I haven't purchased it yet.
