Talking....Sherry
a good few soups call for Sherry as an ingredient. Is there a best one to use?

Someone once told me on this board to sprinkle brewers yeast on popcorn. I have yet to do so, but did try it with regular yeast as is was the only thing in my cupboard. Is there much difference?
P.S. how many ounces in a cup of cheese?
My friend is having her wedding outside and wants to have heavy h'orderves to eat after. So far shes thinking small cold tenderloin sandwiches, Caprese Salad. What else would you suggest! Ideas!!!
Thanks!
Thinking of starting a grassroots soup company in Columbus, Ohio and brainstorming names. Some ideas so far:
Super Soups
Soup's On...
The Wooden Spoon
Village Soups (I Live in Victorian Village and there is Italian and German Villages in Columbus)
I really really enjoy making soups. Everyone has their favortie. If you follow a recipe or just keep tasting and adjusting to taste. What are some of your all time favorite soups? Care to share a recipe?

What are your favorite restaurants for a casual Saturday afternoon lunch. Good comfort food at a good price point. The place where you want to take your friends...
Funding not an issue...
What kind of lip smackin' joint would you open??!?
Well have seen everyone and their brother now open a burger joint. Almost saturating the island. What do you see as the next big trend?
Just like in top chef what would you make if you were faced with the same challenge?
Don't copy the ideas that they used on the show...
Feeling adventuresome...

thanks green for nominating some of your own and some from others!
sorry, jerzeetomato, but a cup of cheese is not 8 oz. it's 8 fluid oz, but that's what a cup is. cheese is not weight-volume equivalent.
1 cup of cheddar, shredded weighs about 4 oz, while 1 cup of grated parmesan weighs 1 3/4 oz.
brewer's yeast is more cheesy and umami than regular yeast & will coat the popcorn better. i'm sure they have similar flavors, but brewer's yeast will taste better than "not too bad", at least i think so!
Liquor store. Do NOT buy cooking sherry, which is loaded with salt. You can get a decent fino for $10-15.
Congrats MRS. Maureen and thanks so much for the update. We were all thinking of you on your special day.
I have leftover ham right now, too. I've been making sandwiches, steaming with cabbage, frying for breakfast, chopped some and added to baked beans. I'm about to make a grilled ham, cheese & tomato panini for a late supper - just came in from mowing the lower 40. I should make some deviled ham - haven't had that in ages. It sure makes meal planning easy, since it works for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks, eh?
Well the weather held true to forecast and it was very hot. I could see the sweat dripping off my face during the service! But we managed to keep the house cool and I took off the long lace overcoat that went on my dress and things were better. I was comfy enough that I wore the dress to our local Shakespeare festival in the evening and was fine.
A super day - oodles of food left over so I don't have to worry about cooking for days! Now I need creative things to do with cheese and salami and ham and the like!
@Maureen - How exciting! All the best to you. We will work hard to keep you occupied until your man returns! Often brides change into other clothing for the different events of their nuptials. Go for it and put on your breeziest sundress. ;-) Have fun!!
Thank you so much! Yes we have five children between us who are all standing for us. Our happiness is tempered by the fact that he is moving to Western Canada three days later for work. But I think that will be fun too. And hey more time to chat with my friends on SE!
@Maureen - best-est wishes!!! I agree with Perky - see if you can change after the ceremony into something lighter. I did it at my wedding (after having taken all "official" pictures), and I can't even tell you how pleased I still am with that decision! (@Perky - I changed into a burgundy red dress:-))
Have fun and enjoy the day - and the rest of your lives together!!!
@Maureen - wishing you all the best!!! I know you've spoken of a big brood - yours and his? I'm so happy for you. Maybe you could change into cool clothing (white, of course.....hehe) after the ceremony? Keep the veil on. You'd be adorable. Seriously, have a wonderful, memorable day and rest of your married life!
I am getting married on Saturday and I am having a ight luncheon afterwards. We are serving tea sandwiches and cheese and crackers and hummus and pita, and the like. Very run of the mill, but I know my crowd and that will make them happy! I really tried hard to find things that could be eaten without utensils, but not end up destroying people's clothing (I am the master of dropping things down my chest!) Of course, the forecast is for such a hot day, we are now telling people to dress and cooly and casually as they can. I'm the bride - so Im still stuck in the gown with wonderfully warm "foundation garments" under it. Wish me luck!
