THE SNEEZE They walked in tandem, each of the ninety-two students filing into the already crowded auditorium. With their rich maroon gowns flowing and the traditional caps, they looked almost as grown up as they felt. Dads swallowed hard behind broad smiles, and...

As we are starting to get overrun with cucumbers, I'm hoping to try my hand at making pickles this summer. I've spent time surfing and I find a lot of recipes seem to need quite a few ingredients which kind of scares me. Anyone have a simple/easy tried and true recipe? (Can be dill or sweet...

I'm actually looking for a firm polenta recipe not the porridge style. I have never made it before but would like to start instead of purchasing it. In addition to the more standard recipe I'd also be interested in a Crock Pot version of the recipe if someone has one that they like!

This is so true, I feel lile this all the time. Mama where are the muffins, etc (feel free to fill what ever here) Mama where is my fav shirt, Ummm still in the wash, and I don't have choclate chips honey you won't eat them unless they are choclate chips.

If you are 35 , or older, you might think this is hilarious! When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were. When they were growing up; what with walking twenty-five miles to school every morning.... Uphill... Barefoot... BOTH ways...

Hi everyone, I thought this might me a little fun to play. True of False. You post a comment or question regarding the next poster (TNP) and then the next poster answers with True or False and then they post something for the next person. Wanna give it a try?? TNP is wearing glasses?

Everytime I go to the grocery store I see a lot of mixes that look convenient but have a lot of ingredients that I can't pronounce. And I've decided if I can't pronounce it, I probably don't need to put it in my body. I've also decided that I could probably create some of these mixes at home...

Warner's True Fit Challenge You decide.....

It seems one of the more popular ways of saving money at the grocery store is clipping coupons. Now I think that's great if it works for you, but I've tried the coupon clipping and it wasn't all that effective for me - primarily because most of the coupons I see are for products I don't use or...

Dave's grandmother used to make these, and they were delicious. Unfortunately I don't have the recipe, and I'd love to make them for the kids. Anyone have a recipe that you've tried and liked? TIA :chef2:

We are invited to a BBQ on Saturday. I thought I'd make my killer potato salad and remembered that one of the people there can't eat onions. So I'm looking for a yummy side that goes well with shish kebabs (beef, I assume). Can't have seafood in it (1 is allergic) and either no onions or...

Never made these before, and I'd like to try my hand at making them. Oh, and Dave bought Savoy cabbage...will that work? TIA :)

I was watching HBO last night (I get it for free) and they advertised an encore presentation of Season 2 of True Blood. I can't wait!!! I liked Season 1 and loved the books. I just wish the sex wasn't so explicit. I believe it starts at the end of March. Does anyone else like this series?

When Hubby and I got married, we did so it in a church. And so with that, besides, having a NYC marriage license, we have a "church" marriage certificate as well. (2 separate papers) Well all's well on the license. However, the certificate has our last named spelled wrong. They ended it on A...

My ds#2 had surgery in Aug and the bill was about 2x what I was told to expect. I got the INS statement yesterday and it said we only owe $$ dollars. They said that it was $$$$ over and above allowed for the procedure and that we would not be billed for that amount. They have the correct...
