You ladies make Fanny Brice look like a wallflower. [NT] - Michael in Phoenix - 5:28pm on 03/14/17

If you had the time you could totally do a lot to this dish to lower the salt - KarenNoCA - 3:28pm on 03/14/17

Nah, ya need to cut the salt by subbing a can of sour cream in for one for the mushroom soups . . . - mistral - 9:54pm on 03/15/17

I have no fear of that either! Especially since there is no more salt added. As long... - Michael in Phoenix - 12:07pm on 03/14/17

OOOH! gotta try the can of soup in my next batch, and with the chicken, it sounds great! (nt) [NT] - mistral - 9:52pm on 03/15/17

Ya cannot beat it as a fairly neutral savory binder! (nt) [NT] - mistral - 4:28pm on 03/14/17

Heck, even Campbell's Tomato Soup can be a killer soup with the addition of a bit of Umami! - KarenNoCA - 7:19pm on 03/14/17

My biggest beef with Campbells Cream of Tomato is that it is so gawd-almighty sweet. . . - mistral - 9:51pm on 03/15/17

This sounds flavorful, Mar. Do you cook the chicken in the sauce or - Pat-NoCal - 11:58am on 03/15/17

Are you getting fresh garden tomatoes in FL now, or did the supermarket ones work ok here? [NT] - KarenNoCA - 1:11pm on 03/15/17

Used Hunt's Diced in the can. A bit *too* juicy tomato taste so I'd love to try - MarilynFL - 1:37pm on 03/15/17

So, how old are you? I am 76 and never made a dish like this. And never used an egg in a dish like - KarenNoCA - 7:20pm on 03/15/17

I do a sort of hybrid Colcannon - pmassell_93 - 1:20pm on 03/17/17

Agree, beans are fantastic in the PC. Did the best coq au vin ever in the PC. - MoNJ - 3:25pm on 03/17/17

The PC has really been a game changer for me... I look at food and think how can I make it in the PC - barb_b - 7:52pm on 03/17/17

i have loved my PC for MANY years but if I were buying one now it would be - Charley - 7:11am on 03/18/17

Based upon the cult following raves I'd get the Instapot but - pmassell_93 - 11:47am on 03/18/17

T&T: Fish and Chips-neither one of us is a fan of corned beef - MoNJ - 12:42pm on 03/17/17

29490. I love this simple salad. [LINK] - emtd - 2:51pm on 03/17/17 (1)

Sounds delicious! Once in a while I buy dates for something and forget the rest of the package. - Joe - 4:41pm on 03/17/17

29491. Marilyn, with your inspiration, I finally tried the recipe for Maya Angelou's Chicken Livers [LINK] - Joe - 4:33pm on 03/17/17 (10)

Great to know...my little bitty livers await & I've got port. Just can't suppress the willies yet. - MarilynFL - 7:22pm on 03/17/17

If it really grosses you out, maybe this is not the right course! Sorry you are struggling with this [NT] - Joe - 10:14pm on 03/17/17

No, I think if I mask it with enough stuff (onions, sauce, etc) I can do this. Realized today - MarilynFL - 12:44pm on 03/18/17

That sounds worth a try, especially if you can spring for grass-fed. - Joe - 7:17pm on 03/18/17
Greek seasonings are delicious on chicken livers--oregano, basil--maybe the - Charley - 12:53pm on 03/19/17

Does your doctor say why you can't seem to get ahead of this--other tests? - Charley - 8:17am on 03/18/17

I eat everything on that list except for most of the meats and seafood. - MarilynFL - 12:46pm on 03/18/17

Another idea for the liver would be Mexican Style liver & onions with tomato & chile - Melissa Dallas - 9:49am on 03/19/17

29492. Corned beef fail - where did I go wrong? - Anna_X - 2:17am on 03/18/17 (13)

If it never boiled, maybe your crockpot is off. Are you slicing it very thin across the grain-- [NT] - Charley - 7:06am on 03/18/17

I was unclear. My crock pot gets too hot on high and would have boiled the meat. - Anna_X - 12:41pm on 03/18/17

Anna, sometimes corned beef is that way but...... - CathyZ from Kauai - 2:50pm on 03/18/17

The hour on high was just to start warming the pot. It never hit a simmer then. [NT] - Anna_X - 3:24pm on 03/18/17

Just chopping it fine today. Next year, deli meat only! [NT] - Anna_X - 3:25pm on 03/18/17
Medium could do it too, Anna. You said you started high then went to medium. - CathyZ from Kauai - 3:38pm on 03/18/17

I appreciate your suggestion as I'm still figuring out meats at age 67! - Anna_X - 4:13pm on 03/18/17

Yes, that is the knock on the "newer" units--they get 'way too hot and - Charley - 12:47pm on 03/19/17

Don't you just HATE wasting a good piece of meat. It's like a crap shot with me...I never know - MarilynFL - 2:44pm on 03/18/17
According to Cooks Country, they say corned beef needs long and slow, not boiled. [NT] - KarenNoCA - 3:13pm on 03/18/17
I remember Cook's Illustrated testing crock pots. Most of the low end and standard... - Michael in Phoenix - 7:46pm on 03/18/17

A few months ago, and after watching the reviews on the new stove top safe models - KarenNoCA - 10:44am on 03/19/17

Oh those look great! I love hot cross buns... - Richard in Cincy - 9:07pm on 03/20/17
I have never taste a Hot Cross Bun, so this recipe is very tempting for Easter. [NT] - Joe - 11:07pm on 03/20/17

Being a brioche dough rather than a regular "cinnamon bun" type is a big plus to me. [NT] - Charley - 8:07am on 03/21/17

If Dawn doesn't pop in, the original recipe uses a #10 can of tuna instead. Fabulous. [NT] - MarilynFL - 11:45am on 03/22/17

I've never seen her version with tuna. Is it posted here? [NT] - Michael in Phoenix - 11:56am on 03/22/17

This sounds great. Not familiar with the term, nacho jalapenos? Are they jared? - KarenNoCA - 3:19pm on 03/22/17

They are jarred or canned, and are simply pickled jalapenos that are sliced into rings. - Michael in Phoenix - 3:46pm on 03/22/17

What is the temp for a dense quick bread? I always worry about underbaking. [NT] - Traca - 10:58am on 04/19/17

I don't know but with quick breads my test is either a shiny knife or toothpick - Charley - 2:29pm on 04/19/17

I do that too, but somehow something's not quite right. Cindy Mushet says pound cakes are 209 degree - Traca - 8:31pm on 04/19/17

Well, you are right about getting pound cakes to that "right" internal temp. Thanks. [NT] - Charley - 8:50am on 04/20/17

Feta is somewhat similar and will work in a pinch if you can't find cojita [NT] - Melissa Dallas - 9:37am on 04/21/17
