What's up with Ferrari's Italian Villa?
Okay, I called Ferrari's and they say the website should be fixed in a few days. So I hope I was unnecessarily alarmed.

Today is my birthday. What a cheerful pick-me-up to see you've resurrected my recipe from nine years ago.
What's up with Ferrari's Italian Villa?
Thanks, CocoaNut. I'll check out Open Table. I also think I'll call them. Definitely don't want to choose weird over Chamberlain's Fish Market Grill.
What's up with Ferrari's Italian Villa?
We're kind of planning to go there for lunch next week I went to their website looking for a menu. Current website is really strange and is written mostly in what I assume to be Italian. Has the restaurant changed or just the website?
Perfect Pie Crust Taste Disaster
Did you use unsalted butter? The amount of salt called for is very low if you did.
How much liquid (white sauce?) for tuna casserole using two cans?
I think you all are forgetting how little tuna there is in a can these days. A can of mushroom soup is more like one and a half cups or less. I would think that two cups of white sauce would certainly be ample. That would be for about 6 oz. noodles.
The Perfect Biscuit - what are your secrets to make it happen?
Bleached. That's what I've always used. No particular reason.
The Perfect Biscuit - what are your secrets to make it happen?
Well, I use Gold Medal self rising. I used to use Gold Medal all purpose. My biscuits are better now. Just saying.
The Perfect Biscuit - what are your secrets to make it happen?
The whole point of using self rising flour in biscuits is that all purpose flour is higher in protein than self rising flour of the same brand. This is because they use a softer wheat in the self rising. If you make your own self rising flour, it will have the same protein content as the all purpose.
8" Lodge Cast Iron - recipe ideas?
I just have to add pineapple upside down cake to the list. A half recipe made with an 8 oz. can of sliced pineapple.
The nectar of the Gods, tuna noodle casserole....
I'm SO adding the little jar of pimiento next time. Thanks for suggesting it.
The nectar of the Gods, tuna noodle casserole....
I'm 75 so I probably qualify as a tuna noodle expert. First off you MUST use oil packed tuna. DO NOT drain. You also need to use two cans of tuna for each can of mushroom soup The cans have shrunk since your grandma's day. I use half a 12 oz. bag of wide egg noodles. Right on with the potato chips. Good eats.
How Often Do You Use Recipes?
I so agree with you, Caroline. In fact I've told DH, *If the house catches fire, you grab the dog, and I'll grab the recipes.
Was your mom a timid cook?
Actually every generation brings new things to the food mix. Pizza and tacos weren't eaten in Oklahoma until I was in college. I doubt that my grandmother would recognize many of the foods we eat today.
Was your mom a timid cook?
Welcome to the club. As someone about fifteen years older than the boomers, I got awfully tired of hearing,"Never trust anyone over thirty."
Good Restaurant to Propose At?
I would definitely do Commander's It is beautiful. The food is good. AND the sevice is wonderful. I'd do the taxi.
Where can I find the best fried chicken in DFW? 15 mile radius of Irving would be great!
the noneffing popeye's in plano is still pretty good.
didn't wash the beans...
Soaking and draining IS washing. So is rinsing. No fear. Besides that you're going to cook them Rest easy.
What do you serve with cabbage rolls?
I serve cabbage rolls with mashed potatoes and small green peas. Good balance of color and flavor.
DFW to Texarkana
There is a barbecue joint in Mount Pleasant. I think its name is Blalock's.
Taking Mom to NOLA for her first visit!!
I would definitely take her to Commander's for lunch Most people say to request the garden room. I think the main dining room is lovely. You can't go wrong.
Freezing Stuffed Cabbage
Just jumping in to say I like the freeze cabbage to soften leaves method. I've been happy with the cook and then freeze way of preservation.
Excited about Christmas dinner!
Looks to me like you've got everything covered except dessert. A plate of Christmas cookies would cover that.
Show us your Christmas Cookies - 2011
Your cookies look yummy. Can't blame your coworkers for gobbling them up.
How to approach baking a lot of cookies?
DC, Relax! The easiest way is to bake, cool, freeze. In that order. I've never noticed a deterioration in quality. If there is, it's very minor. Beats the hell out of buying them at the supermarket.
Freezing cookies
Actually, most cookies are very good frozen. If you want to protect them from your husband, you're going ti have to label them tripe or some such.
Freezing pie crust in dish?
I often freeze the crust for a pecan pie in a pyrex pie plate. You might want to let the plate come to room temperature when you thaw it. I actually prefer pie crust that has been frozen.
