Who feels like a threadkiller - Take 4!

[Cruisin]

To all who asked about Alex.

Yes thanks, he does seem to have come thru without any injuries.

Colleen, sorry to hear that your father in law did not have such a great day.

Happy cooking Ann.

PD, would you believe that I've never been to a Red Lobster?

I dont' really like seafood but I'd like to go to Red Lobster just once and see what it is like in there. Mind you there is not one within an hour drive of us, so we are not likely to just drop in unless we are travelling somewhere.

Tonight we had dinner at my mom's. It was great because I did not have to cook it

Oooh....I hope not! TW, hope he has a speedy recovery. PM sent.

PD - I love fingerling potatoes, too. The pancetta & garlic really made them tasty.

Tomorrow starts the countdown for cooking for the wedding (making the perishables). I'm making bacon, chive, pecan mini cheeseballs and truffles tomorrow.

Off to do the dishes!

Ann~ I keep meaning to ask you how the baking part of cooking is effected by changes in the weather. I started wondering if your cakes were breaking because of a difference that needed to be made with the rainy weather that you were having in Florida.

The food at Red Lobster is very good. DO you like chicken? They do have chicken dishes too!

 

[Cruisin]

Yes I do like chicken and also steak.

Fish and seafood of any kind just doesn't do it for me though.

That's a good point Ann about the weather and the cakes?

 

[tiggerwannabe]

Recipe recd...Thank you Ann!

Dad is taking his injury ok, even agreed to scoot up and down the stairs on his tush. We have two pair of crutches now and are keeping one pair up and one down.

You know, I never gave it a second thought. The weather has been SO hot it may have affected it.....the 12" layer that I broke was my fault, I handled it wrong when I flipped the layer. I'll be more careful next time!

Hope everyone had a good father's day. I just got back from checking out my school at San Fran. It looks awesome! Have a good monday tomorrow

Next time you're in by me, we'll go there.

Okay, that's a good plan

Morning everyone.

We've got all that machinery that we bought when we were in Chicago coming today at the shop.

Three transport trucks of it

It should be a busy day for the guys at work today. Maybe I'll just stay clear of the place

I just finished Ann's cheesecake and it turned. Out. Perfectly.

I threw the cookbook one in the garbage, it was that bad.

SA - congrats on your high schooler!

Robin - I LOVE McD's ice-cream!

I've had a busy day today - here's what I made:

• 10 dozen Oreo Truffles
• About the same amount in bacon, chive, pecan bite-sized cheeseballs
• And I have fresh mozzarella marinating in oil, sundried tomatoes, garlic, parseley & salt. (They'll be serve with tomatoes and a champagne mustard vinegarette on japanese spoons).

Tomorrow is:

• Spinach, onion, parmesan & pinenut tarts in a delicious, flaky savory shortbread crust
• Chicken, Parmesan & artichoke cheese ball
• A goat cheese napoleon made with goat cheese, cream cheese & herbs. In between each layer is pesto and sun dried tomatoes.

So...I hope ya'll have a GREAT day - I'll be busy!

Congrats!


Are we talking about Ann's cheesecake again?! I'm getting so jealous!

 

[Cruisin]

Gosh Ann.

You are going to be so tired of seeing food

Are you enjoying making all of this food?

evening everyone.

WORTH the trips, then and in the future!

 

[KimRaye]

I've had a busy day today - here's what I made:

• 10 dozen Oreo Truffles = 120!
• About the same amount in bacon, chive, pecan bite-sized cheeseballs also 120!
• And I have fresh mozzarella marinating in oil, sundried tomatoes, garlic, parseley & salt. (They'll be serve with tomatoes and a champagne mustard vinegarette on japanese spoons).

Tomorrow is:

• Spinach, onion, parmesan & pinenut tarts in a delicious, flaky savory shortbread crust

So...I hope ya'll have a GREAT day - I'll be busy!

Ann, this is a MENU, not a wedding! Dang! You really outdo yourself everytime you make ANYTHING! Puts me to shame, over and over and over and over again!!! (WHAT is a japanese spoon?)

Have you ever thought of opening a restaurant???? You are by far the most serious cook/chef/baker extraordinaire I've ever known!

Kim - everyone has the things they enjoy.....your busy schedule puts me to shame over and over.....I have to have my naps! If you google "Japanese Soup Spoon" you'll be able to see pics (ebay pops right up). They sit flat and are big enough to hold a bite sized appetizer that can't hold it's shape or you don't want to put on a toast or cracker. I promise - it's not a menu - it's a party!

I've not thought of opening a restaurant - I have had friends ask me to go into the catering/wedding business, but I really don't want to. It really is just a hobby and I don't want to lose the fun of it. Plus, DH & I hope to do more traveling next year....

Robin - I hope the guys enjoy their new machinery! Give Rick our best! I wouldn't get tired of seeing the food....I'm all about food!

Hi SWHTD - How are things for you?

Well, I hope ya'll have a great day! I'm hitting the rain locker and I'm off!
