PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."
I'd like to add in here that I never knew how to braise and now I do.
I could never figure out how to stop the breading from cooking off anything and the schnitzel told me that I had to let rest for 10 minutes before cooking. Now anything I bread gets this treatment.
Spaetzel is self-explanitory (sp?) - It looked like baking to me because it involved dough. I'm not afraid anymore.
And I plan on using the Mississippi Mud Pie as an excuse to get a mixer - although I don't know how well that will go over.
The techniques in these recipes are invaluable because they are from everyday people who have busy lives. Not from some cooking show that assumes everyone has a gourmet kitchen and three helpers, including clean-up crew.
And they become transferable skills to so many other dishes.
Pour a glass of wine, or seven, take a Saturday or Sunday afternoon and give it a go. What's the worst that can happen? You'll have "phone" for dinner.
