Salad Master cookware
I only know that there no way I am paying what they charge for that stuff!
They wanted $75.00 for a small pan, and $110.00 for a large air-insulated bowl! Holy cow!
It's fairly nice, I suppose, but my set from Macys (for about $300.00) does just fine and still looks beautiful,and I haven't ruined a meal yet!
I have friends who sold it, they came and did one of the demo's at my house, and honestly, I couldn't tell the difference when they did the steel wool/water test on the pans....they both tasted like water, not metal! They insisted that my Macy's dishes were crap - but I disagree!
Wonton recipes: suggestions?
How about sausage Wontons? They are yummy! Do you have a mini-muffin pan? (The pampered chef kind)
Pre-heat oven to 350
1 package Jimmy Dean Sausage cooked, then mix in
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and
1/2 cup prepared Ranch Dressing and
1/4 cup chopped green onions.
Put the wrapper in each mini-muffin cup and press it in to make a cup, and then fill with a scoop of the sausage mixture. Pop 'em in the oven and bake till the edges of the wonton's are brown, and then pop them out onto a plate covered with a napkin (to soak up any grease), and enjoy!
They are so good, and really tasty! This is a recipe that I got from my sister-in-law: we don't measure the ingredients, we just eyeball it, and adjust for taste and texture....the measurements are really just a guide!
What is the best cookbook ever?
Okay jcrisco - I am so jealous you live so close! I've been to DisneyWorld three times (once on a business trip, but still park-hopped). Never on a cruise, though hope to some day! I'll look for the Delicious Disney book..actually I have friends going in November and they are cruising, so I'll put my order in with them if I don't get it sooner!
Gotta say that my fav appetizer from my 1st Disney cookbook is the Jamacian Hot Wings! Have you tried them? Oh, and the fantasia cheesecake, and the milky-way cake... oh, and the decadence cake, not a stitch of flour init...cocoa powder, butter, eggs, sugar and bourbon...probably one more thing, but it was to die for!

About: Married 21 years, 2 children (girls) 19 and 16, 3 dogs & 1 pot belly pig! Live in No. California just north of Napa Valley.
Favorite foods: Mexican food that our friend Victor makes. He makes melanessa (spelling?) breaded & fried carne asada...yummy! Also LOVE italian food....favorite restaraunt is Mario's Ristorante Italiano in Redwood Valley...all made from scratch, it is fantastic!
Last bite on earth:

I've made home-made ice cream cakes before, and they are so much better than the store bought! They are pretty simple too. I always bake cakes for my friends and family for the parties that I throw. Not necessarily from scratch, (sometimes) but I always use mayo instead of eggs in the cakes! Happened by accident one year (about 3 hours before the party, I realized no eggs in sight!) my good friend just said to add a tablespoon of mayo for each egg that was called for, and it would be fine. I tell ya - best most moist cake ever!
I think my favorite scratch cake was the Milky Way Cake from my Disney cookbook.....so fantastic, but not good for hot weather - the melted chocolate "frosting" is real messy when it's hot out!
