I just noticed it on the envelope you sent me).<BR/><BR/>I'd pronounce your cookies delicious . . . but I'm honestly saving them (will try soon! will try soon!). They <I>look</I> good, promise! :-D<BR/><BR/>As far as cooking goes: I'm said to be pretty good, but I'm just an <I>ad-lib cook</I>. Whatever's around, I throw it into the skillet (or the <B>rice cooker</B>: my FAVORITE prize from the agonizing <I>divorce-division</I>!)<BR/><BR/>If something turns out "not so hot"?

The eggless banana French toast was a success -- you buzz a banana and a half, maybe 3/4 cups of vanilla soymilk, 2 TBS of brown sugar or maple syrup, and some cinnamon or nutmeg. (I threw in some flaxseed meal just to thicken it a bit...and because I'm being a health <I>noodge</I>.) You have to use a non-stick pan because it's inclined to stick...but it turned out really good...made the whole house smell like banana bread.LutheranChikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685566332651377907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10838182.post-1125106452066430742005-08-26T18:34:00.000-07:002005-08-26T18:34:00.000-07:00Well, folks, I'm walking on the wild side tomorrow...Well, folks, I'm walking on the wild side tomorrow morning by attempting banana French toast...wish me luck!LutheranChikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685566332651377907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10838182.post-1125104023379435912005-08-26T17:53:00.000-07:002005-08-26T17:53:00.000-07:00Thanks for a very funny post!

Just last year I took half of the side of my thumb clean off while trying to cut potatoes on a mandolin. Serves me right for using some fancy appliance thing when I could have just used a plain old grater. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, thanks for a good giggle!HeyJuleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11440239922316626725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10838182.post-1125102620667057362005-08-26T17:30:00.000-07:002005-08-26T17:30:00.000-07:00Heh.

I called it the cursed soup.<BR/><BR/>Then there was the time I put baking soda instead of baking powder in the lemon bar mixture. The fizz was pretty but not very tasty baked up.<BR/><BR/>As a home ec teacher said when I told her about soda/powder, "My kids do this all the time. I tell them that's what my class is for, to make mistakes in."<BR/><BR/>I have done eggless kasha, but not more than once, and it was a long time ago. My sympathies.<BR/><BR/>Eat some take-out, then get back in the saddle. You'll be fine.Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06124847109117072966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10838182.post-1125024913228597702005-08-25T19:55:00.000-07:002005-08-25T19:55:00.000-07:00every day I spend in the kitchen is pretty much a ...every day I spend in the kitchen is pretty much a disaster--- at least you have some successes!! love your blog!cmhlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01794651670716752863noreply@blogger.com
