YUP!! More than once I came back home with a stomach ache; and I didn't eat the worst of it either!! Just pushed it around my plate!!!

Here is her mashed potato recipe: Boil potatoes until overcooked. Put in mixer, and mix for half an hour or until glutinous. VOILA!!!

I am glad that she is not my grandma.

My grandma used to make pink turkey, when questioned she said its the new kind of turkey hay come to think of it maybe thats where I inherited my cooking skills

little chick are you getting some much needed rest sweetie?

[frannymae]

Oh my, but I am positively inspired! I had planned on grilled chicken, fresh asparagus and a spinach salad for dinner, but I've changed my mind! I am going to try Ellis's approach instead! Now if I can just find some frozen egg stuff, nasty red peppers, and ungreased skillet...oh, and put a lock on my spice cabinet, I'll be all set!

I'm dying here, and I don't even know who Madame Benoit is!

ellis' new cooking show - "Grudgingly Gourmet"- the show where you see how real people REALLY cook!

[ellis]

Oh, my gosh. "Don't add too much water, though." Oh, really, Den? I thought Ruth meant enough to completely cover the ham. oops. Well, it was very ummm, wet. The rest of the family enjoyed it, anyhow. Poor things...

"Grudgingly Gourmet".

[dentrassi]

YUP!! I did the same with my veg & pork loin the other night. Only added a cup of broth, but by the time everything was cooked it was soup!!! The crockpot REALLY generates moisture!!!! bet it tasted good though, and you can use the broth for your soup.

[ellis]

Too late! DH just dumped the broth down the sink!
And DD is eating the rest of the ham! Good grief...

[1busymomma]

OMG tears are streaming down my face.

Den that was just GROSS. Crusty Mayo? Bleh.

Ellis, you do write really well, it was like I was standing there making the mess myself. I'm just as inspired as Frannymae! Well, I am off to go cook my asian beef and broccoli dish.....
