Bonus for the homemade salad dressing!

Luigis deli, Dover Rd, South Toms River. PEC on a bagel.

I had a meal recently at Ship to Shore and it was fantastic.

Sadly, I don't see anything happening there. Bereft of bakery bread I am.

I feel your pain Iowagirl, as I frequently eat my lunch off Batman or the Muppets.

I wish they would bring back the toasted coconut covered cashews. Those were the best ever.

Did it open? January is almost over...

I have a microwave cookbook and make all sorts of different things. Everything from baked potatoes to stuffed mushrooms to Chicken Fricasee and Swedish Meatballs. I suggest you check out your local library or search online for websites devoted to microwave cooking.

I always offer to help with cleanup and don't mind at all, yet I would never dream of asking or accepting help when I am hosting. Isn't that odd?

I wish my parents had taught me. I had to learn on my own. I need to teach my son. Thank you KarenDW.

What about the paper napkins as a gift? Classic!

May I ask why you are against a tenderloin?

Sheesh, I'm with you Sunshine. I am more at risk of lower life expectancy from what I eat than what I eat it with.

Enjoy life!

I am having EggNog with breakfast today.

I 100% agree. Always give recipes when asked. Anyone that has ever tried to recreate a beloved recipe that was not revealed (for whatever reason) can relate.

I agree. Pick that shit up yourself.

Yep. Ours went off at 6:30am. The turkey (28lbs) was too large for my roasting pan so one wing hung over the side a tiny bit. Of course the fat started dripping to the bottom of the oven and smoke was billowing throughout the house.

Then no one ate my soup again for the second year in a row. Last year Carrot Ginger, this year Pumpkin. I swear my family will only eat French Onion. Sigh.

Were they annoying because of the takeaway or before that?

Thank you, I will check at the Polish grocer.

Better than Sawmill? Nope.

Thanks! Apparently it was sold by Cost Plus World Market but not any longer.

I could be wrong but it seems the teenager being described is obligated to attend the Thanksgiving celebration. Given the choice, perhaps she would prefer to celebrate with the OP, but not sure that's a viable option or the Bahamas either.

Being a teenager she will not legally be able to imbibe (in US) so not sure the alcohol would help.

If she is unsure about the hostess, she could always hold off on bringing out the food until the drama has subsided.

Is that from the shatter or is that a scalloped glass dish?

I have no idea how much wine is. If someone told me thirty seven fifty, yup, I would assume $37.50. The restaurant has some culpability here. She should have clearly stated three thousand seven hundred fifty or at the very least thirty seven hundred. Sounds a bit scammy.

Just tried a Sonya. Tastes like imitation banana, yuck.

Sure, you can use flour. Or cornstarch slurry or some use instant potatoes to thicken. Personally, I am not as particular in saying there is a "correct" method to use.

Is this an owner/mgr post?
