I think we need a bacon recipe thread! Who doesn't like bacon, unless prohibited by religious/dietary "law" ? Arteries be damned! I had to order a BLT in that the whole buildng was wafting in its enticing aroma today. (We have a cafe in the office buildng). It wasn't quite GadgetGary's BLT...

Hi all. I received an e-mail from a mixer enthusiast who is part of AW. He is curious to know if anyone is interested in a "mixer-fest" where the theme of the day/evening will be ........mixers! I can't host in that I have a small 3-room apartment. He is not sure if he can host, but is...

or in Frnech "Mardi Gras". This year Eastern Orthodox and western Easters are on the same day. Mardi gras is the insanity where all hell breaks loose before lent (a 40 day period of fasting, prayer introspection and meditation before Easter). For the western Christians, lent begins on Ash...

WOW Torrential downpours, gusting winds galore and a blackout at the office already. HAPPY DAY! It's been raining here now for 5 continuous hours. We must have gotten 6 inches already. Glad it isn't snow. I think every inch of rain becomes 10 inches to a foot (12 inches) of snow! YIKES...

OK so discussing split-system A/Cs overseas in another thread prompted this discussion of windows and window treatments. (On a scale of 1 to 10 probably a "15" in gayness, but I digress. LOL) What is most popular in your country/region? In my part of the US, double-hung sash windows prevail...

One of my yiayias (grandmothers) used to make three kinds of ethnic cookies for Christmas as gifts. I remember them dearly and liked them way more than the "standard" fare of baklava, kataifi (shredded wheat thingy; like a bird's nest) and galacto-boureko (custard in fillo dough)...

What amazes me is that we are all basically dependant on electricity to control (or power directly) our heating systems and in a major blackout due to a storm, very few seem to have a non-electric source of heat (like a fireplace, a woodstove or a gas burner / oil-burner that will actually...

Well kids, Friday the 13th came and went. Anyone superstitious? About what? Any particulars to your country or ethnic group? You show me yours and I'll show you mine. Fears, that is. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/triskaidekaphobia

Not sure of her age, but 1986 is a good guess. Anyone know for sure? After a new belt and use for a year (+/-) on 110v she has been a faithful servant. Lately, however, she is starting to vibrate quite a bit. So is it the felt seals on which the front of the drum rides? Bearings (where...

Mixfinder said: There are almost no absolutes in cooking except "that's absolutely disgusting" Fennel, something I cannot get my children to eat. Most things I am willing to try and re-try as my taste evolves over the centures ---er--- decades. Definitely not: For me it's okra. Isnt it's...

I want to learn how to work with and make all kinds of doughs. I remember my yiayia (granny) made homemade phyllo (filo) dough for her "pies" (Aatually, pites "pee-Tess"=> plural of pita). Well known is Spankopita (spinach-pie). Pita basically means "flat". I have had a taste in my mouth for...

As you all by now know, my Frigidaire front-loader has had a quick-connect coupler added to it to be able to get water from the kithcen faucet, and drain into the sink. While the diameter of the added drain hose (of the coupler) is a bit smaller than the orignal drain hose, results were...
