recipe maker?

The Kraft people had a website that you could type in for example, three things you have in your pantry and it would come up with a recipe - everything of course, are Kraft products.

Crispy Buffalo Legs

Yes, thanks @KenieU - we don't get together for the Super Bowl - I am not a football fan, but plenty of Canadians do enjoy the day - I will save your recipe until the next time I have all the kids home - the recipe sounds as though it would work on skinless thighs, as well - it will make some of the more health conscious members of my family happy, although I am sure any benefit will be very marginal, LOL!

My Dad Had a Slight Heart Attack

@PumpkinBear - Sorry to hear of your news - I can tell from your posts how much you admire your Dad - he is fortunate that you are there for him. My husband had a heart attack in his early 50's about 15 years ago - he didn't even know it - he felt the pain, lay down for a while and then got up and ate supper! He was not overweight, had a great moderate outlook on life, including eating and drinking, was athletic and exercised - the culprit was genetically based - he had a very high cholesterol level and once he started on statins with slight changes in lifestyle, he is doing very well - just wanted you to know that things can get better - follow advice of @Garvey,( there is a lot of misinformation out there) and @jerzee and others as they have been through it - we are thinking of you and your Dad

Chipotle Mayo - The new #1 condiment?

@ChefJeffSD - thanks for including instructions on how to make it! I thought it was sold in a jar and was about to say that it hasn't hit the "Great Frozen North" yet - in fact, Mexican food and chipotles & such are not really big here - I will keep an eye open, are chipotles sold fresh, or in jars or cans? I really love condiments and have a fridge full of them but there is always room for something with a nice bite.

Condolence Food

Whenever a friend or neighbour suffers a loss I always cook up a ham and send it over whole with some crusty buns, sliced cheese, etc. - it is a meal that can be served warm with veg, or used for a quick snack for guests/family who come to the house.

Poll: Beans in Chili?

My chili is not authentic, but I couldn't imagine chowing down to a lovely bowl of spicy chili without red kidney beans, and, I will confess it here, my chili also has a can of beans in tomato sauce as well!

@2fussie - I also posted about this problem in the Site Feedback section the other day - so far, no reply either! Maybe if a staff member could just address our problem, so that we know it is being studied . . .

Diabetic Beverages for Party

@mollyjade - As a diabetic myself, I know that everything you say is true. However, a wine spritzer is a good option for a diabetic, especially if everyone is having a glass of wine. Many of us plan to include a small amount of ETOH when we go out, so, although sugar free is best, don't be surprised if someone with diabetes chooses a spritzer.

That should be white "wine" - OK , I think I have had my share for tonight!

How can I "unfavorite?"

@Kitchenista - Mine has been totally out of order for several months - other people have complained, so I know it isn't just me - thanks for the link but that wasn't it - it was a post I believe talking about favorite margarines - I can't find it. I am a bit useless with computers though. The post I was looking for was within the past couple of weeks - I have seen Earth Balance for sale, but I think it was probably when I was in South Carolina -

How can I "unfavorite?"

I still can't save anything on "Favorites" - this was a useful feature for me and I do sorely miss it - my memory isn't great and I forget things - i.e. people were talking in a thread about Earth Balance "Buttery" sticks and how good it is - I can't find the thread and I wanted to try and find out if Earth Balance stuff is sold in Canada - if I had been able to "favorite" the thread, I wouldn't have a problem. When will it be fixed? Why are some people able to access it and others not?

My mom's meatloaf is better than yours...

@rhubarb - thanks for the neat tip - our little garden sparrows will be thrilled in this snowy weather! @salpico - I am going to "upgrade" my recipe with yours - not crazy about red pepper though, do you think I could substitute roasted pepper? Also is it good cold, because that is the way I love it, the next day on a crusty roll.

What are your food pet peeves?

Someone who invites you to dinner at six and it becomes rapidly evident that none of the prep work for the meal is done, (i.e. table not set, veggies not cleaned or prepared, meat still in the fridge while she is whipping up a marinade, etc.) Then sitting down and trying to choke back a meal at ten or ten thirty - no matter how delicious it might be, I just can't enjoy it.

"Savory" recipes

Oh, and I forgot to mention that savory is delicious in meatloaf and turkey loaf. I had a Newfoundland uncle who settled in Los Angeles and he was famous for a turkey meatloaf he made with savory. No one could guess why it was so different and so good.

"Savory" recipes

Savory is my "go to" spice, basically because it was about the only thing available when I was growing up in Newfoundland. We always used summer savory and it was STRONG, so I am a little worried about yours being so mild. We made stuffing for turkey and chicken, pork tenderloin with it using stale bread crumbs, lemon zest & juice, onion, bacon & savory - believe me, it is delicious and we still use this even though we haven't lived in NF for many years. Also we have a large crowd at holiday festivities and I am thrilled when there is leftover mashed potatoes, because I use it to make meatcakes - mixed with onion, S & P, savory, cooked hamburger & an egg for binding. Make em into patties and coat with a little flour and fry. There is a company in NF, called Mt. Scio, that packages and sells summer savory on the internet - check there, they might have more recipes. Good luck @eggyzhe and give us some feed back.

What makes a "chili" a "chili"?

Last year we had a Chili lunch fundraiser at our Church after service. A dozen people were asked to bring their homemade chili in crockpots - it was difficult to keep "worshipful" with the smells wafting up from the kitchen! It was amazing to see/taste the differences in that one recipe, "chili" - everything from something like a "hamburger soup" to beef chunks to turkey to vegetarian to medium to a "burning ring of fire!" rendition from one of our Caribbean parishioners. I think to say chili is regional casts too wide a net, chili is definitely individual!

About bareneed

Website:

Location: London, ON, Canada

About: A proud Canadian. I am a grandmother of four beauties and have been retired from medical field for seven years. I love to travel and I enjoy belonging to Serious Eats - it is fun and informative and I love to read everyone's comments.

Favorite foods: My very favourite foods are roast meats, vegetables, fruits - in fact, I like almost everything that isn't organ meat, offal or "out of the ordinary" (ie chicken feet, frog legs, snake meat - stuff like that puts me off! I guess I am not adventurous.

Last bite on earth: Roast lamb with a lemon, garlic and rosemary crust, gravy, roasted potatoes, parsnips, carrots, with something green like peas, brussel sprouts or butter beans.
