Susie, I'm coming to visit you! Of course, as lazy as I am, I never peel my potatoes but do all the rest. And a big thing about _any starch in my book is that one _MUST put salt in the boiling water. If you don't, you can salt your arm off after the starch is done and it won't help, one iota!

Re: [CnD] cooking bacon

Hi, I have been cooking bacon in the oven -- especially when I need to prepare a lot of bacon for a large group -- for a long time. It doesn't seem to make an unusual mess in the oven, BUT BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN YOU TAKE IT OUT! Use thick, protective oven mits, and do it slowly. A few months ago, I

Re: [CnD] Potatoes

I know people who use a ricer are dedicated to that way, but I love, love, love my stand mixer. It makes fluffy mashed potatoes and my family inhales them. Sometimes I drop a clove of garlic in the water when I cook the potatoes; sometimes I add chives or sour cream or cheese when I mash them.

Hello. Instead of boiling potatoes, I cook them in the slow cooker, then use the potatoes any way I want-I can slice them and fry them or oven-cook them further, or cut them for potato salad if I am using them. I just put some red potatoes in, and they wil be done in three hours. I am going

Howdy you'all. I have been given some pots of fresh herbs: two kinds of basil, oregano, sage and chives. I have used fresh chives in potato dishes and scrambled eggs. Those of you who use the fresh ones, any brilliant ideas on what to do with them? I don't have enough to make pesto. Susie

Re: [CnD] cooking bacon

I haven't found a way to duplicate the sizzling sound and crispness of frying bacon. If you're not good at turning and lifting the bacon with a fork, you risk a fire. I use the microwave cooker. It does get the fat out of the bacon and comes out meaty/chewy. Abby -Original Message-

Hi I use a heavy-duty baking sheet and cooling rack. I line the sheet with foil, insert the cooling rack, spray it lightly with cooking spray and lay the bacon strips on the rack. Since I buy the thick cut bacon and like it crispy, I bake it at 450 F for 25-30 minutes. Bill -Original

I have made this recipe; it works just fine without the yeast. In Texture it's like how a quick bread would be, like pumpkin bread. Sugaring the loaf pan after greasing, before putting the batter in, really adds to this too. > On Jun 11, 2016, at 9:55 AM, ellen telker via Cookinginthedark >
