A citation for drinking booze on government property.

I am sure there is at least one guy who appeared against the Iron Chefs who would be interested in doing a show. A real chef!

Home Canning/Bananna Peppers or Hungarian waxed Peppers

You will have to check on the web to make sure I am correct but I believe you can use Alum. Please check on this because I am not an expert. I might be wrong. If you don't want to use that make sure you are not overcooking the jars in the hot water bath. I am sure you will find some recipes that can help you on the web.

How Do I Make It Safe?

I worked in the post office for a short time. One day a "regular" told me to take a package to this house, ring the doorbell and run like hell. I asked him why and he said the Christmas oranges from Florida or California (I forget which state was involved) were a little late. It was April. That was the difference between the p.o. and UPS. UPS would simply call, apologize, pay a refund and the people would be at least somewhat satisfied. The p.o. required the package be delivered, the customer would then be angry as hell, more angry as he or she tries and tries and tries to contact someone at the post office (the postmasters are always on the phone talking to their wifes, friends, golf partners etc.) The customer is then told the sender must fill out a report, wait 30 days and then the check will be cut for the damages.....and people want these idiots to run our health care. I would recommend fed ex.

Double Dipping

Since my wife is fighting leukemia I am even more concerned about germs than before. I guess that is why I noticed the things on tv that I posted here. We have always had the habit of placing plastic spoons and a bowl next to the stove, even before she got sick. Take a taste and then toss it in the bowl. No big deal. I realize these TV cooks cannot take much time washing their hands thouroghly (who wants to watch 30 seconds of hand washing?) so they just go through the motions, maybe a quick rinse. That is understandable. But I think double dipping sends the wrong message.

Hold the Onions, and the Knife... please.

So maybe he should have made it clear he also wanted a fork with his meal.

To me the best cooking show on TV is Jamie Oliver.

Anne Burrell's show: I hate to bring this up again but...

The third show was much better. I only heard one growl (All this time I have been blaming my boxer) and I did learn a few things. I liked her idea about putting the garlic in the water. She seems to be doing less talking and arm swinging and if she would just take a slug of some wine before airtime I think she will sound less stiff. ("I-will-put-the-tray-in-the-oven..." could be replaced by... "I will HIC put the tray in the oven HIC if I can find it." It seems to flow better). Actually she probably needs a belt of cognac to get the job done.
I was laughing out loud when she put a second handful of salt in the water and then she went back for a third. I don't think she will be getting any ad time from the American Heart Association. Her chickens would have looked better if she had added some pepper to them but since she doesn't like pepper I guess we won't be seeing that. Isn't the idea supposed to be to make a dish for the viewers? Hell if she doesn't like chicken with pepper throw it in the garbage and make a dish after the show.

She needs to drink some of that wine, relax a little and let the cooking do the talking. Too much chatter.

From Talk

The verdict! Anne Burrell's new show - Did you watch?

She was cooking? I thought she was demonstrating how to do a Juijitsu hip throw. Somebody needs to tell her to stop moving her hands so much. I eventually shut the program off after hearing one too many of her low voice inflections.
