Can I cook chopped up asparagus in a stir fry dinner?

Normally I would use some zuccini, but I'm out.

The other ingredients are chopped onion and sliced up tri tip beef.

Oh, and a new potato!

Thanks!

She needs permission.  Here's what it looked like.  Pretty dry, huh?

What spice do you sautee with onions to make them taste like beef?

Nothing.  Except beef. 

Remember Paper Roses?  She's always been so dumb and helpless.

Hi Friends, Can you suggest a way to clean this pan?
A neighbor is moving and put a lot of stuff out for free. I had to look!
I took a Le Cuisinart 10" skillet. I can clean the stainless exterior but the black interior is in need of attention.

Firstly, she's mixing up Le Creuset and Cuisinart.  Secondly, after much anguish and back-and-forth, Dawn and water soak overnight did the trick.  DUmmie.

Can artichoke dip made with mayonnaise be frozen?
I haven't baked it yet, would that make a difference?

The disgusting mess that would ensue when thawed would be glorious.  Love to see a pic.

Do you have to cook instant oatmeal before you use it to make cookies?
the recipe calls for 1 cup of quick oatmeal.

I have had 2 glasses of wine .... help me.

She thinks "quick cooking" and the envelope stuff are one and the same.

Oh, and a new potato!

Because normally you have 'used' potatos?

Had no luck finding the DUmp link where some random mutt over yonder ruined a frying pan and several spatulas trying to make a grilled cheese sandwich. That was an absolute classic!

Apologies for not running a hard target search for that thread. It is somewhere in the archives.

With these cooking skills it's a wonder that haven't starved to death.

Good finds Karin.

A couple weeks back I was working on a continuation of my series: "Dump In The Kitchen". It was going to be the Holiday Edition. The offerings werent the greatest, and I gave up when I ran across a Mutt who owned up to having a rat nest and dog food in their stove.  I didnt know where to go with that.. 

[Karin]

A rat nest?  Good God!

   I'd clean forgotten about the grilled cheese sandwich!  I think I remember the picture.  The pan is completely black, and the plastic spatulas are melted into it.  Am I remembering right?  There's black stringy cheese everywhere.

I swear, Karin.  Between you and Ralph, I have almost spit my water out twice today!

I'm going to stray from the pack and admit that the pic appears to have some tasty food in it. Not sure it makes my seed ache, but I would have a plate and thank the cook, even if it is CalPeg.

  for the Calpeg quote!

My laughter came more from some of the comments.  The plate itself doesn't look ... horrible, other than the burned tri-tip.

6. excellent!



that stove was a disaster. mice got under the top, chewed the ignighter wires, ruined the insulation and FILLED the space with dog and cat food they had been stealing at night. everytime we lit the oven it would have this weird smell. warmed dry pet food is kind of hard to identify.

I spent a week installing 1/4 inch hardware cloth over EVERY opening on my most recent stove and it has been good for more than a year. no more burning mouse piss stench when the oven is over 350.

Nothing like the aroma that would come at dinner time..
