Pressure Cooker Phobia?

My mom uses one all the time - makes a great chicken soup, and she cooks corn beef in it as well. I definitely have a healthy fear though - it exploded once with the chicken soup - our ceiling was yellow for a year before we repainted it. Thank god nobody was in the room at the time.

Dumbest Allergy Warning Ever

Oh, and I forgot, along these lines, also in Tesco, I once picked up a cake, that had a sticker stuck to the bottom that read "do not turn cake upside down."

Oops!

Oh I've seen a bunch like this...bag of peanut may contain peanuts, Loaf of bread, may contain wheat.

May? I was kinda hoping it would!

Wine and Plastic Cups: Not a Perfect Pairing

I think you certainly have a point, in terms of drinking wine in general, but I think framing it the way you did is a little ridiculous. Backyard cookouts? I don't know about you, but I've never been to a barbecue with wine that was more than $10, hell sometimes it comes out of a box, and then we honestly just don't care what we drink it out of. Suggesting that I should enjoy my hot dog and sauerkraut with a nice stemware glass of merlot is quite pretentious. If there will be wine at all, it will certainly be out of plasticware, and maybe even out of the bottle.

Do you like cooking to music?

Sometimes I'll put the radio on when I'm cooking, but usually I like to turn the Food Network on - except be careful you don't stop following your recipe and start following Giada! Could end up with a Rachel on Friends like dish: trifle with beef!

Very cute idea and impressive that he actually followed through.

Now where were my plans to create a peanut butter, chocolate chip, cookie dough, caramel, Oreo and fudge ice cream....?

http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/ is one of my favorites (along with SE, of course!) - her entire blog receives several visits a day from me as I check to see if there is anything new - I discovered this delightful site this summer - I've tried several of her recipes, and am smitten - I'd really love to win her cookbook!
