Sorry... I know how that is though, especially when it's something you were looking forward to. I've done it before.

Nevermind, I'll figure it out. Must have been a really hard question. God, I hate talking to myself.

Aren't crushed tomatoes, just smashed up stewed tomatoes? If so, then dice up and cook them for a bit. Can't hurt to try! Wish I could send you a can, I have four in the pantry!

Has anyone tried the new Betty Crocker Pour and Frost frosting? You are supposed to microwave it and then put it on a warm cake. I would think this would only work on sheet cakes in a pan and not a layer cake. Is it worth a try?

My sauteed mushrooms turned black tonight. What did I do wrong. I placed the slices in a pan with very hot olive oil and a little butter.

The oil might have been too hot. I usually sautee my mushrooms on a low/ low med heat.

OR you used REALLY old mushrooms....they get dark as they age. It was probably the heat...you may have also scorched the butter.

The tops were white but the gills were very very black. I thought about scraping them out before I cooked them but didn't. I just read where you should take mushroom out of the plastic containers immediately and place them in paper bags and refrigerate. The plastic wrap ages them quickly.

I use a paper bag too. Another way is to keep a damp towel over the top.

My top double oven door catch snapped today. I wanted to use the broiler, but the door would not stay propped open on the catch. My dh told me it was time for new ovens a couple of months ago, and I should have taken him up on that when I had the chance I guess.

Gracie, how about sticking a wooden spoon in the door to prop it open until your better half can make good on getting you a new oven?

LOL That won't work either! Once the door is open it's open all the way, no in between. The darn door was already warped and the oven works too hot. I'll just have to wait and see if my dh comes through! Maybe if I burn a few more meals?

I received a pasta maker for Christmas and used it for the first time last night. The pasta turned out great, but there was way to much for us to eat...so I have a couple questions... 1. Does anyone know how I can store the pasta I make and/or how long it will last? There were eggs in the recipe I used, but there is an eggless version too. 2. I would like to make whole wheat pasta, but the recipe book it came with only has recipes using white flour....can I do a straight substitution of wheat flour? Thanks!

Jewels, my mother used to make loads of her own pasta. She'd dry it on her laundry racks and then stored it in air-tight containers for months. Sorry, don't have a wholewheat recipe for you.
