Although I have cut back considerably on my sugar consumption, I have reached the conclusion that I am indeed addicted to sugar! I found this neat 12 Step Plan to break sugar addiction and I thought I would share it with the OB members in case any of you have any family members struggling with this, too. This deliciously sweet substance is also deliciously devoid of any nutritional value. Sugar passes through the wall of the stomach so quickly that it causes blood sugar levels to skyrocket, then plummet just as rapidly. I'm sure you are familiar with the feeling. The problem that arises in coping with sugar addiction is that sugar is in so many common foods now, it's …

What kind of soup do you like? I thought that since there's a thread on Salads, why not soup! I had some friends over last night for dinner, and one of my friends from church gave me a recipe for Potage Crecy New Orleans Carrot Soup. Haven't made it yet and it doesn't sound all that good. But here it is. 4 large carrots, peeled and finely chopped 2 large onions, finely chopped 1 medium-sized turnip, peeled and finely chopped 2 celery stalks, finely chopped 1 teaspoon conrstarch 2 whole cloves 1 tablespoon butter 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme salt to taste black pepper to taste 6 cups of water 8 cups of boiling water 4 cups milk Place the carrots, onions, tu…

By "specialty", I mean pretty much anything besides macaroni or spaghetti. What ones have you tried? We had sconcigli tonight which is basically a tricolor pasta in a horn shape. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl= ... n%26sa%3DN

Well Edy's "Dibs" were half off this week...which means instead of the outrageous $4/small carton they were only the less outrageous price of $2/carton...so had to indulge. :lol YUM they are totally good...but the fat and saturated fat content are very much off the chart. Oh well. :cooldude: ("Dibs" are little bite size pieces of different novelty ice cream flavors coated in chocolate coating...actually a great way to serve kids ice cream, doesn't make as much mess... and they are VERY yummy besides!)

What is your method for peeling boiled eggs? I use a wet spoon to crack the shell and then slide the tip of the spoon under the shell and lift it off. It works well most of the time but once in awhile there is a pesky egg that just won't peel correctly and you end up with something rather odd looking. :lol:

Hi Everybody, :lol Here we have a thread to list your tips and techniques to ensure good service when eating out. Here are mine. :lol 1. Develop a good rapport with several restaurants that you know will give decent service. I.E. We get known there by lots of gentleness and kindness on our part. a. A healthy tip with a tract. b. Sincere compliments to the server and to the cooks. c. Sincere smiles of friendliness extended to all the staff with whom we come in contact::: The hotess, the servers, the cashiers, etc. d. We even write on the back of the receipt a short note telling how much we enjoyed the food and service. I never cease to be amazed…

Hi Everybody, :lol It's the spring of the year and time to think of the gardening plans and all that goes with it. One of those aspects is to preserve the fruits of our labors and store them away for the winter time. Few things can compare to the satisfaction of having an edge up on rising food prices. We do that by growing and preserving our own. Mine go like this:::: 1. Jams (made from the whole fruit) and butters (made from the puree of the fruit) a. Strawberry b. Black Raspberry (the way my wife makes this it will make your eyes spin in spirals. :drool :drool :drool :drool ) c. Nectarine d. Blueberry ( I want to do this one this year…

(or they could have been wild black raspberries, I'm not sure of the difference) My husband and I went fishing yesterday. We didn't catch any fish, but up a little ways from the beach area there was this huge wild blackberry patch with loads of ripe blackberries. My husband spent about a 1/2-hour picking them and we left there with at least a quart. We stopped by a supermarket to pick up some vanilla ice cream and had the ice cream with fresh blackberries for dessert last night. They were actually pretty tasty (even if a little on the tart side) -- and this is coming from someone who doesn't like to eat blackberries or raspberries (not because I don't like the flavo…

Does anyone have a secret ingredient they use in some dishes? (I know, I know; it won't be a secret any longer :mrgreen: ) We made a chocolate cake when I was a kid that had mayo in it. It was very good - nice and moist. We also put cinnamon in brownies which gave them a nice flavor. I've heard of grape jelly in spaghetti sauce or chili. What do you do?

Do you use any cast iron cooking pots pans etc... I have a cast iron skillet that I have NEVER used, and a few weeks ago i bought a cast iron muffin pan. I loved the muffin pan . You still pray it with non stick spray, but all of the muffins came out perfectly. And, I found out that the muffin pan stays "warm" for a long time :doh: I will know not to touch it for an hour or so next time!

Kitagrl's thread about mac 'n cheese made me wonder if there are any other cooks out there that like to experiment. Obviously some recipes require strict adherence to the recipe for satisfactory results but others are fun for experimentation. My grandmother never followed a recipe and she was an awesome cook. DH watches me make mashed potatoes sometimes and comments that I never measure the salt. My reply is that "I can just tell". I have also added certain spices and/or ingredients to some recipes which have resulted in a much better flavor.

Hi everyone. Maybe you all have tried this type of recipe before, but I haven't, so I am going to try it on DH and see what he thinks of it. I probably would cut the recipe in half though. Soda-Pop Chicken 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts 2 Tbsp oil 12 oz can cola 18 oz bottle barbeque sauce Brown chicken in oil til juices run clear when pierced with a fork. Pour cola and barbecue sauce on top. Reduce heat, simmer 30-40 minutes. CJP56

Yeppers... many of us have noticed how over the past 50+ years Tom Turkey has been pushed off the road by the fat man in the bright red suit, flying around with his eight tiny reindeer! LOL The over commercialization of Christmas has gotten way out of hand! My parents Western Wear Store would NEVER allow Thanksgiving to be bypassed. None of the decorations for Christmas at their store came out until BLACK FRIDAY. I'm thankful for that. 🤠 -

Have we fallen short in baptisms? And why are baptisms being used as a measure for how strong churches are? Many pastors have seen the futility and falseness of dunking people just for the numbers? They've come to the realization that people need to understand what baptism is, and in the true discipling of people first. In the days of Christ people understood the implications of being baptized into this new religion called Christianity. They could be kicked out of the synagogues, lose their livelihoods, and even their lives. That's exactly what Saul of Tarsus was doing before he had his encounter with Christ on the road to Damascus. -
