Jiffy Spiffy Brownies
This sounds really great, but (pardon my ignorance), I need more specific directions. Do you make per package directions and then add the additional ingredients or just add the nuts, frosting mix and peanut butter? If you add the nuts, do you eliminate the...
Charlotte's Sloppy Joes
Surely the 1/2 - 1 cup sugar is a typo. I hope. (b)Editors Note:(/b) That is the way it was sent in but it must be in error. I changed it to 1/2 - 1 Tbsp.
Am I Charging Enough for a Cleaning Job?
Nina, I agree that for the thorough job you do, youre not charging enough. Why dont you make up a Memo saying that effective on such and such a date your prices are going up to the new price. When you finish cleaning each house, leave the Memo on the kitchen...
Jewelz (American Pitbull?)
Jewelz is beautiful. She reminds me of a very special dog we had named Kirby. He was part pit bull and part bull mastiff. We had him from a young pup and he was the sweetest dog. We had him for 16 years and it broke our hearts when we had to let him go. If...
Garden: Spectacular Pink Rose
That is a beautiful rose. Ive never seen one with so many petals. We live in Texas and since we moved to a different house 7 years ago, I havent had much luck with roses. Im sure your California weather is much more agreeable than ours.
My Brothers Beautiful Roses
That is a beautiful rose. I live in Texas, but havent planted many roses. Two that I planted several years ago didnt do squat. I planted a new one this spring, so well see how it does. Do you happen to know the name of the rose?
Help Getting Batter to Stick?
Well, Larry, I cant say Ive never had your problem. I never have problems with the batter on my fried chicken, but pork chops or chicken fried steak is another matter. Its sounds like youve tried pretty much anything I would suggest, except I wouldnt turn the...
Reducing Yeast Taste in Homemade Bread?
Hey, Amy, your family is just use to the taste of that stuff we buy at the store. We pay over $2.00 here for what is supposedly a better loaf of bread. Bologne! The bakery is here locally, but that doesnt equate to cheaper prices. I dont see how you can disguise...
Prevent Soggy Crusts for Cream Pies
Do you sprinkle the powdered sugar before you bake the crust or after? If after its baked, do you wait until its completely cool?
Prevent Soggy Crusts for Cream Pies
Youre right. I was referring to pie crusts baked before a filling is added. When you said cream pie, I assumed you meant something like chocolate cream, cocoanut cream, etc., where the crust is baked before the filling is added. Thanks for setting me straight...
Mandarin Orange Jello Salad
I know this is delicious and easy. Ive made something similar to this for many years. Ive never used the sour cream, just the small package of jello, cottage cheese, Cool Whip and drained fruit. Depending on what color the jello is, we call it Pink Stuff, Orange...
Removing Soap Build Up from Laundry
Hi. Im really just responding to your mention of soap buildup in your clothes. Do you use the high efficiency (he) soap that is recommended by the manufacturer? I have a GE frontload washer and I always use the he detergent that was mentioned in the book that...
Skin Allergy to Coffee?
Your doctor says its dermatitis and you think its coffee. What makes you think its coffee? Surely you ingest a lot of other things during the day. My dad developed a very disgusting rash on his arms and part of one leg. Later it moved around his underwear area...
Fabulous Fudge Frosting
When I first read your recipe, I thought something was missing, like chocolate. It sounds really good and rich, sort of like pralines. Im anxious to try it.
Peach Pudding Bread
Your recipe sounds really good, but I need more instructions on the scoring part. Im not sure I understand what this is for and exactly how to do it.
Beer Batter Bread?
My recipe is easy, really good and smells wonderful baking in the oven. 2 cups Bisquick 1 tsp. sugar 1/2 can beer (regular size can) Mix all ingredients and let set 15 mins. Spoon into greased muffin tin and bake at 400 F. for 15-20 mins. Makes 12
Chunked Baked Potatoes
The name of your recipe suggests that the potatoes are cut up in chunks, but you never say to do that. Do you just cut them up in bite size pieces? Thanks.
Puggles (Pug)
Puggles looks all tuckered out from running & playing around the house. I feel like our animal friends are God given for us to enjoy and provide companionship.
Detail Mini Lamp Shades
You did a great job on the lamps. I have a pair of bedroom lamps that could use some embellishment. Since they are a good distance apart on a large dresser, I wonder if they would have to be exactly alike?
Butterfly Baby Shower Cake
Your cake is lovely! I took a cake decorating class back in the late 60s and Ive been using a Wilton icing recipe ever since. The only difference is that my recipe calls for cream of tartar also. Its 1 tsp. to a pound of powdered sugar. Try it sometimes.
Old Fashioned Hard Boiled Eggs
This is a recipe for perfect hard boiled eggs according to Emeril Legasse(sp). Cover eggs with cold water & add salt. Bring eggs to a boil and boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat, cover and let stand for 11 minutes. Drain and run under cold water. I add ice...
Extra Spin Cycle Helps Drying
Aint life grand. I have an expensive new front load washer and it doesnt even have an extra spin cycle. It does have an extra Rinse & Spin cycle, but if Im just trying to get any excess water out of the clothes or whatever, why would I want to rinse them again...
Fiesta Chicken Enchiladas
Is the milk Enchilada sauce a typo? Judging from the directions, it must be. Also, is this the green enchilada sauce? I thought it might be since you are adding 2 cans of chopped green chilies. It sounds good, but can you clarify the recipe?
Remembering Faith (Australian Shepherd)
Im sorry for your loss. I know what it is to lose a pet. Theyre like family or a best friend. We just recently had to make the decision to have two long-time pets put to sleep because of illness. Weve lost several untimely too; one to the coyotes. In time it...
