Mary, show your mom & dad the book and see what they say about the "lack of measurements". Betcha' a nickel they they say they seldom if never measure anything. Also, see if you guys can't turn up some good unglazed terracotta tiles to line the middle shelf of your oven with then you can get eyeball man to start cranking out the bread & pizza. BTW, I am pretty confident that the stones you have are causing the bread baking issues I encountered up there since it was back to normal in my oven when I returned home and have since baked about 6 loaves without issue.

Mary! Glad to see you here. Frequent back now and then and you'll get a laugh from Patricks antics! Have your Mom or Dad join and post a recipe or two. By the way, being part of a large Italian family, have you ever heard of Rococco? It is a type of biscotti, donut shaped with hazel nuts, almonds and pistachios. I love these but can't find a recipe anywhere, I have improvised but they are not the same.

I drained everything on newspaper then served on a plate. With the state of the world it would hardly be appetizing to be take a bite of the fish and be looking down at typical, everyday demoralizing headlines. I prefer to eat without any media on t…

I heard that during WW II, they ate tulip bulbs in Holland. It was worse in Europe than in America ( for food), but my parents lived in Mobile, Alabama (on the Gulf of Mexico), (where my father who was disabled and couldn't join the army and worked…

the major benefit of the microwave is for extracting cancer-causing chemicals from your tupperware, and leaching them into your food

Oh. I thought it was the Israeli response to suicide bombers.

The microwave is fine for defrosting bread, but not all breads. These rolls must be eaten fresh the first day or as toast the next day or else they are beyond repair.

Actually, the Jerusalem Artichoke was the root cause of the French Fart War of 1632 as well as the Uncivil War of 1856 in the USA.
