Ah lovely. Thanks!

My husband brought home a couple of pounds of the outside of proscuitto skin, can I use it in stock or render the fat or anything with it?

Very tasty, good service, good ingredients. Go there for breakfast, and take some pastries with you for the road :)

Check out some of the divey places on Sullivans Island and James Island. I used to really love this place when I lived there and i brought my dog and sat on the patio:

You MUST go to Fig! In Charleston! It is SO WONDERFUL! Ask the waiter when you get there about a tasting menu ( the only way to go!) and make sure you get the coddled egg! Thank me later!

HAHAHA! Recently watched this special with my mom and she laughed so hard I had to run it back so she could hear the rest of the joke!

Okaaaaay?

I love it! So good on grilled cheese! So good with fruit! SOOOOO GOOOD!

I love mine its called "Lose It!" It is free and has lots of restaraunt foods and even a place to put all the ingedients for your favorite home recipes and it will spit out the calories. Also it takes into account any excercise you've done and adjusts your calories accordingly. Its been really helpful to me!

To lose a significant amount of weight quickly:

NO REFINED SUGAR! There is pretty much nothing that has refined sugar in it that is good for you.

NO ALCOHOL! You just don't need it. Really. I promise.

YES FRUIT!

YES VEGGIES!

YES WATER! Do you know how much sodium a diet soda has in it?!?!

Also I avoid fast food as much as possible. It really really makes a HUGE difference in how huge your butt is or isn't!

I really like them with high fat cheeses. Like make a sweet brie en croute so you get sweet and salty. I also like them with crab legs, the salty and the sweet it rocks my world!

I'm going to the beach with some friends tomorrow and I have a bottle of crummy vodka that I want to mix up a beachside cocktail that I can put in a jug or bottle in my cooler. Any suggestions?

I HAVE to knead my bread dough, it wastes too much dough IMHO so I just bought an inexpensive pastry mat ( I think its Pamperd Chef) and knead on that as it is mostly non stick.

They taste alright, but the Peanut butter in the ones I had was DRY!

Also I dont really want it to be a WEDDINGY cake if anyone was wondering

Thanks I'll check it out!

If you are concerned about them being tough or dont have time (I never do) for a lot of brining etc. Ribs are wonderful started in the crockpot and finished on the grill (especially cheap ones!)

My best friends adorable sweet husband's birthday is this weekend and he has asked me to make his birthday cake. The only problem is he is a NO CHOCOLATE person and I need a slamming Vanilla cake and icing recipie that will blow him away, he has always been so good to my friend and I want to do something nice for him!

Can I make beef stock if I only have one pound of shank bones? The butcher only had one container left :(

When I first got my driver's license, I had to cart my little sister everywhere I went. I used to make her stand outside of the car to eat these if she bought them at the gas station!

And for some reason she still loves me!

When I used to work at earthfare they gave us this supplement with spirulina in it to try (they gave us a whole bottle!) and we were all supposed to mix it into our juice in the morning. It made my farts smell like a hot summery pond! It's funny now, but it wasn't then.

This is super cheap and easy to make!

Delicious Fishes

One bag frozen tiliapia filets
Two (or three if they are small) sweet onions sliced thinly
Three or four lemons juiced and zested
about two or threeTBSP butter
Salt
Pepper

Melt butter in a nonstick pan with a lid and add onions and a little salt and pepper and sweat until clear.
Meanwhile rub lemon zest and salt and pepper onto fish
When the onions are clear, place the fish over the top of them in a single layer and put the lid on.
Leave the lid closed until the fish is cooked through, and flakes with a fork.
When the fish is cooked, crank the heat up to high and add a splash of the lemon juice and let the onion carmelize ALMOST burning it.
Dump the entire contents out onto a plate of wild rice and go crazy!

My roommate who was vegetarian would beg me to make extra onions to put on her veggie burgers!

I love to add a few croutons into mine, they make it crunchy and help stretch the eggs a little farther!

If you are feeling really fancy, you can skewer the strips in ripples on bamboo skewers before you put them on the rack and they will hold the shape when you pull out the skewer! It takes forever but its really pretty!

It is easy to put too much pressure on yourself to make "fancy" food. Most of the "foodie" TV hosts on the food network are chefs, their job isn't to make heathful, comforting food, its to make things that will impress you when you look at them on TV. Trust me, most people don't feel that they have to eat fancy to eat well. My advice is to make a few more simple things that you really enjoy, pull out a few recipes you haven't made in a while because you thought they werent good enough and in a week or so you will be back on your feet and back in the kitchen!

It turned out fine! lovely red color and delicious!

Yes! And thanks for the heads up, i just surreptitiously opened and sniffed a few of the powders until I liked the smell of one!

It doesnt taste like much really. Its not a delish smoked or hungarian or anything. Which I'm actually grateful for.
