many wicked awesome and gratious thanks czken!
sooo cant wait to do this :)

@hungrychristel, here is the recipe that I have scribbled on a yellowed piece of paper. Can't verify its origin but it is probably my blending of several variations (ingredient quantities are sketchy because I just eyeball what I think I need to feed whoever will have their legs under the table);

Jointed tail (I usually allow 3-4 joints for two people)
1 TBS oil
1 med-lg. onion, diced
2 tsp. salt
pepper
2 bay leaves
2-4 whole cloves
2 cups meat stock
15 oz. can of dice tomatoes, with juice [More ingredients to come..]
In a large Dutch oven, heat the oil and brown the meat on all sides. Remove the meat and saute the onion in the same oil. Add in the seasonings, stock and tomatoes with its juice. Return the tail joints, bring to a boil, cover and reduce to a simmer for 3 hours.
If you've used fatty or untrimmed meat you might want to cool the braised pot and skim the fat before proceeding.

3-4 med onions, peeled and wedged
2 celery ribs w/o tops, chopped into 1/2" pieces
2 large carrots, chopped
8 small new potatoes or whatever is available, wedged
1 1/3 cups (100 gr) fresh mushrooms, sliced
4 TBS Sherry or whatever you use as a substitute
4 tsp. minced parsley, for garnish
Add all of the vegetables and sherry to the pot, bring to a boil, cover and simmer for about 30 minutes. Remove the bay leaves and serve, garnishing with chopped parsley.
Thanks for asking, enjoy!

@pooch -- mind sharing your coconut curry soup with rice noodles recipe?

@czken - i heart oxtail soup!
Do you have a recipe you'd like to share with me!!!!????

SE's highlight on re-done baked ziti in one pan (I used my dutch oven) was nice. I also hit the DO for shepard's pie, veg. shepard's pie, arroz con pollo, tortellini soup, etc. What I *really* love as far as one-pot cooking is my crockpot. Favorites in my house include pork roast with sauerkraut, carne adobado, and chile verde.

The most wonderful one pot meal: Cassoulet. You don't have to go by the more complicated 3 day recipes. There are simplified recipes out there and they produce the most satisfying comforting meal. Have some wine, and you'll be drifting off to sleep with a smile on your face.

I'm so glad the weather is cooling down.
Of course, it means it's time for chili. Recently I made a chicken and white bean chili with carrots, onions and celery. Here is the full recipe.

Also, roasting is a great idea and takes very little hands-on time. Roast potatoes, carrots, onions, cauliflower, etc drizzled with oil and use any spices you want. You can roast a few chicken breasts at the same time and dinner is ready. My favorite roasted potatoes.

Or make a coconut and shrimp soup,

--beef and vegetable stew
--Filipino chicken adobo served with rice
--Boston baked beans
--pot roast
--split pea, leek and ham soup
--turkey chili
--braised pork belly and zhacai (salted Chinese vegetables)
--Thai chicken coconut curry

@betteirene -- corned beef and cabbage sounds like something I'd like to try cooking!

I havent experienced anything remotely similar.

MIND YOU: I'm a mac user. Always will be.
Apple ~4~ Life

@lemonfair, the mbam-setup.exe is the correct setup file for that program. Download it, install it, and then update it until there are no more updates available. Sometimes there are as many as three updates before it's finished.

The default is to run the shorter scan, but the complete scan is (obviously) more thorough. But it takes a looooong time. Very long...And if it finds anything, particularly if it tells you a reboot is necessary, it's a good idea to run the scan again. Often, it picks up things on the second scan that it didn't find in the first. What I normally do on an infected computer is to run the program until the last scan says that nothing is left.

Over the next few days, it's not a bad idea to run another update (they update the signatures often) and run the full scan again, just to clean out anything that the new updates find.

@Neil: This morning my avg shows two threats, which must be from the 2 instances yesterday, and it must be that avg has now caught up with them and hadn't yesterday. It's a trojan horse, and the line about it on my scan is:

...localsettings/Temp/KkPk7v...Trojanhorse.downloader.Generic8.BLOQ

Hope that helps. (The scan hasn't finished running yet. If I find out more I'll let you know)

@neil: I was too flustered to write down what it offered, unfortunately. There was the word "green" in the exe file, and there was also something like "trusteddownload.info" That's not it exactly. I googled the phrase it offered, and when I google "trusteddownload" this morning I get something different. But last night when I googled " [trust]download.info" a few dot com references came up that looked like they might be legit, and that were options in the google search. But this was definitely a dot info link, which I'd never heard of.

No, I didn't get the fake virus scan, like the NYTimes had. My total screen was replaced (the URL was no longer serious eats) by an enlarged screen that looked approximately like the "my computer" screen, with shared documents, my documents, local disc on it, and the left hand menu, as well. Under shared documents in red letters it said I had 8 viruses, under my documents it said I had 2 viruses, etc. The second time it ran yesterday the number of viruses it told me I had was different.

It had a "warning" message, and when I tried to close out the screen a box popped up that told me my computer could crash if I didn't choose the option to download the .info thing. This was after I had initially proceeded to a second screen, so I may have gotten malware. I'll go to the malwarebytes.org site. I haven't had any trouble since this though (in fact for some reason things are running better. I run my avg through a complete scan about 3 times a week, so it shouldn't be that). I haven't gotten any pop up ads.

There is a restaurant that makes AWESOME mac and cheese _ the Clarkston Union in Clarkston, MI and they add ham chunks to the mac.
It makes it a whole meal... then pair with a salad and you are set.
