We sold our 2008 Honda Odyssey XL last year with 280,000 miles on it. I've been driving minivans since 1987 because my daughter uses a wheelchair. The Odyssey was the best vehicle to drive overall. It had a V6 engine because it was the sport model, so that may be why. The only downside is that if...
I bought my mom an Alexa during her last year. She was totally blind and bed-ridden due to strokes, but still mentally sharp. With Amazon music subscription she could listen to any kind of music she wanted. I got her a subscription for Audibles, but she still preferred her familiar digital player...

Beef Broth

Posted by BreadPudding on 9/24/17 at 12:26 pm
I love soups with a beef broth base. My grandmother and a family friend from long ago made the best beef and vegetable soup. I would just drink the broth and leave the beef and vegetables in the pot! Been trying to duplicate a rich, beefy broth with tomatoes for years and can't get that same exac...

re: Ever give up on a puppy?

Posted by BreadPudding on 4/16/16 at 10:48 pm
Rarely comment, but the puppy threads always get my attention: 12 years ago I got a golden retriever puppy with hopes of her becoming a service dog for a family member. It was my choice to use clicker training because it is a kind method of training that even children can learn to use. Works lik...
I was interested in the OP's original question, but I see the conversation descended into trash talking without many answers. So if you're still interested: On the Boar's Head website, they recommend using within three days after purchase. It has fewer preservatives than other brands that I've s...
This is adapted from the Cook's Illustrated quiche recipe. I use ham instead of bacon, reduce the milk to 1/2 cup instead of 1 cup and add fragrant herbs. The white pepper and nutmeg are perfect for seasoning. 8 ounces smoked ham or fried bacon (about 8 slices) cut into 1/2-inch pieces 2 large...
Love the Amazing Ribs method. He doesn't recommend brining anymore, so I didn't last year, and was so glad not to have to deal with brining a turkey amidst all the other cooking. Just dry rub like he recommends ahead of time. *Fresh herbs and oil under and on the skin. Oil is better for crispy ...
My elderly mom was recently put on a diet by her gastroenterologist which eliminated wheat gluten, lactose, and several groups of carbs. Since I go by her house every day to cook her food, it was a challenge for me, too. For her main meal, she was quite happy with meat and veggies with either br...

re: Anyone gluten free?

Two months ago my mom's gastroenterologist put her on a diet which eliminated certain kinds of carbs, including wheat,lactose,fructose,and fructans. It immediately made her feel better, but I am exhausted from all the extra cooking. Everything except one kind of gluten-free cracker has to be cooked...
My mom isn't able to cook anymore, so I cook most of her food. This is one of her favorites: 2 whole bone-in chicken breasts with skin fresh herbs: thyme, sage, parsley, bit of rosemary canola oil (secret ingredient I learned about from Cook's illustrated) mayonnaise 2 green onions, chopped ...

After our second rice cooker in a year burned out, I was determined to figure out how to make perfect rice in a regular pot on the stove. My tips: 1. I use ratio of 1:1.5 rice to water. My measuring tool is a coffee cup that happens to measure one cup. 2. The pot I use is a 2 quart heavy sta...

re: Oatmeal in a crockpot?

Posted by BreadPudding on 12/6/12 at 7:37 pm
I mix steel cut oats and water in 2 single serving oven-proof bowls/ramekins and put them in my slow cooker. The large, oval cookers are large enough for this. Then, I pour about an inch of water in the bottom of the crock and cook on low overnight. In essence you are creating a steam bath. I can ...
If you're going to go to the trouble of buying and smoking a whole turkey, try to elevate the game a little with something besides Italian dressing. At Thanksgiving, I was looking for alternatives for brine because I needed an option for a guest with diabetes and another who can't eat onions. ...
I've had the recipe for Ernest Palmisano's Sauce for years. We make as is for remoulade sauce with shrimp or fish, but make it without the chopped veggies to keep in the refrigerator all the time. He served it with fried jumbo shrimp, butterflied and battered. 1 part mayo--Hellman, Blue Plate, ...

re: Lend me your crock pot recipes!

Posted by BreadPudding on 12/1/12 at 10:46 am
For chicken soup or stews, I have better luck using pre-cooked added in the last 30 - 60 minutes. Pre-cooked meaning the leftover roasted or smoked chicken from Sunday. Cooking raw chicken on low heat all day is not a great idea from a food safety standpoint from what I've read. Alternatively,...

Easy Barbeque Stew: Layer chopped onion, bell pepper, small, minced serrano pepper, and a bay leaf, then the pork chops* on top. If you have time, saute the veggies first, but if you are in a rush, just throw them in. Pour some low sodium beef stock over this so that the liquid isn't covering t...
