Sweet Jane 61 Posted March 26, 2008 Report Posted March 26, 2008 Oh I did! Remember those books, kind of blah, but I did learn how to read. Things are so different now, my little one is learning with Dora!
The Seeker Posted March 26, 2008 Report Posted March 26, 2008 I learned to read with the Bullerby Children (at home though)

Sweet Jane 61 Posted March 26, 2008 Report Posted March 26, 2008 This is how I got Emily to eat cauliflower, she loves this salad! CAULIFLOWER SALAD 1 head cauliflower 1 small red onion 1/2 lb bacon 2 c. Hellmans Mayo 1/4 c. Parmesan cheese, grated 2 tbs of sugar Chop cauliflower into bite-size florets. Peal and half the onion and slice thinly. Cook the bacon, cool and crumble up. Put the cauliflower in a plastic bowl, layer on the onion, sprinkle on the bacon, sprinkle on the cheese and the sugar. Spread the mayo over top. Cover and chill 6 hours or over night. Before serving stir the salad.
Sweet Jane 61 Posted March 26, 2008 Report Posted March 26, 2008 Kevin, this was a cool idea! I'm a good cook and love trying new things and love to share recipes. I don't use beef much, but love chicken, fish, seafood, and veggies.

Kevin Posted March 27, 2008 Author Report Posted March 27, 2008 Making your Cedar Point Stew tonight , Jane + the wine . Smells good so far - and useful as the wife could come home anywhere between 7 and 10 pm tonight . Here's a rub recipe that is too good not to share . Great for chicken , pork chops , but especially ribs . Optimal results occur if you have the time to prepare them a day before , but right up to cooking time works well , too . Thank you , Betty Crocker ! Southwestern rub: 1 tbsp chili powder 1 tbsp vegetable oil 1 tsp cumin 1/4 tsp of salt ( or to taste ) 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper or a hot powder - paprika will do. 1 clove of garlic finely chopped or mashed . ------ Rub on meat and put in a baggie or covered dish and refrigerate . Bring out at least 30 before cooking/grilling to reach room temp . After a bit of cooking , cover with your favorite barbeque sauce . Enough rub for 1-2 lbs of meat .
Sweet Jane 61 Posted March 27, 2008 Report Posted March 27, 2008 Kevin, let me know how the stew comes out. Going to use that rub, we grill out a lot and I'm always looking for new ways to cook chicken or pork on the grill.
Kevin Posted March 27, 2008 Author Report Posted March 27, 2008 (edited) ~1/2 an hour to go , but all is well . My sister gave me a Rival slow cooker for Xmas last year , and even with the slight voltage difference , it works fine . Hope you enjoy the rub - the cumin is unusual in most N.Amer. rubs . Edited March 27, 2008 by Guest
Sweet Jane 61 Posted March 27, 2008 Report Posted March 27, 2008 I use cumin since I like Cuban recipes, I like the smokey flavor of it, and a little dash in chilli is alway good! Hope you're making the hot crusty buttered french bread, you need it for the juice, delish!!
Kevin Posted March 27, 2008 Author Report Posted March 27, 2008 It was great Jane ! We finished it off , a recipe for 4 I would guess ! Thanks again .
Sweet Jane 61 Posted March 27, 2008 Report Posted March 27, 2008 There are 3 of us at home and we usually have a bowl left, which is great for lunch the next day. Glad you liked it! Good way to get kids to eat veggies.
Shawna Posted March 27, 2008 Report Posted March 27, 2008 Any stellar BBQ recipes, and I'm gonna try them! I'll try yours, Kev... Andy is a huge BBQ fan, and I'd love to have something that he's not heard of before, because he's also an excellent cook and would appear to have done it all. I need to knock his socks off with a BBQ dish.
miamisammy29 Posted March 27, 2008 Report Posted March 27, 2008 Who are Dick and Jane? I'm not sure who Jane is, but Kevin's definitely the former. Here's one of my favorite recipes. I call it "The Thursday Nighter"... 1. Take can of beer from refrigerator 2. Open can of beer 3. Pour beer into large frosty mug (leaving about an ounce in the can to be used in waterbong) 4. Pour remaining ounce of beer into waterbong 5. Fill waterbong with parsley, oregano, chives, or any other available green, leafy substance 6. Place mug of beer and waterbong on coffee table alongside remote control 7. Garnish with chicken wings, matches, potato chips, celery and bleu cheese dressing
miamisammy29 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Posted March 31, 2008 I was just joshin' witcha, Kev. You're really a good man. Geez, I didn't think it would kill the thread. I made "Instant Nachos" for the game last night... 1. Lay out saltines, Wheat Thins, or Ritz crackers on paper plate 2. Lay a thin slice of Velveeta on top of cracker 3. Top with half-teaspoon of hot salsa 4. Drink Beer or grape Kool-Aid 5. Watch game
Uncle Joe Posted March 31, 2008 Report Posted March 31, 2008 Grape Kool Aid? You watchin' the game with Jim Jones?
miamisammy29 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Posted March 31, 2008 Yeah, Jim Jones was there. He started shooting his mouth off; THE GUY WOULD JUST NOT SHUT UP! So I gave him some CHERRY Kool-Aid. Finally, I was able to watch the game in peace.
Rayzor Posted April 2, 2008 Report Posted April 2, 2008 My all time favorite recipe is something like Sammy's first and second recipe, only instead of hot salsa I use sliced garlic coil.
invisible_r Posted April 3, 2008 Report Posted April 3, 2008 I'm having a traditional vegetable bake for dinner (we call it briam in greek) so I thought I'd post the recipe- it's very simple slice potatoes, onions, peppers, aubergines (eggplant), courgette (zucchine) - adjust quantity for number of people. for two I added 3 medium sized potatoes, 1 onion, 1 pepper, 1 aubergine and 1 courgette add chopped garlic, olive oil (extra virgin if possible), chopped tomatoes (1 can for previous quantities) and a little water season with salt and pepper to taste and oregano. To add a twist, I also add chilli and a teaspoon of sundried tomato paste bake in the oven for 1 hour at 200 degrees until all vegetables are thoroughly cooked
Shawna Posted April 4, 2008 Report Posted April 4, 2008 That sounds yummy, Rach... I'll give that a try, for sure. My poor Andy, though... he flees from vegetables like they're the black plague.
Kevin Posted April 4, 2008 Author Report Posted April 4, 2008 That does sound good - and easy ! Shawna , you've gotta change that boy a bit for his own sake . Slap on a couple of pan-fried steaks to go with it .
