Last week there was a discussion on goulash (American Chop Suey) that included a simply super looking recipe with photos from - I think - Johnny West. I've looked everywhere I could think of trying to find that recipe, as I forgot to write it's location down the other day - but I simply can't...

When I was reading over my recipe and comments in regard to putting dill into a soup we make here, I recalled a conversation I had with my brother's wife about two or three weeks ago in which she accused me of attempting to "murder" my brother. I had a recipe for my own version of Barbecue...

What's going on with not always being able to thank someone for their post? Several times I've wanted to add my name to thanks at the bottom of a post from someone and when I do this I get a message telling me emphatically to "Remove my thanks". What gives with that? I haven't even been able...

Good Morning All - I just stopped by to say hello to everyone - I've been gone for a brief while, visiting with my family over in Ireland. Because she's considered a "high risk" pregnancy this time, at the urging of both family and her doctor, Fallon took Kieran and went over several weeks ago...

Leni - Something I've been meaning to ask you for some time - is that your cat in your Avatar? Whosever cat it is, it needs only a Santa hat to resemble the jolly elf - that wonderful white front looks just like a curly white beard on Santa. Beautiful cat! Ian M. :whistle:

Good Morning, Friends - Sure feels good to have been let out of the hospital yesterday! And to be able to sleep in my own bed without some Nurse Rachet waking me up to give me a sleeping pill, too. I feel like I've been gone for simply months and my "little boy" isn't little any more - he's not...
