Right now, I was using rice, but since I don't have cornstarch but I do have a baby potato or two, that's what I'll do! Phew! Thanks Vee & Lum! The funny thing is that as much as I hate cooking this is my signature dish. I can't believe I screwed it up, normally I could cook this blindfolded. Grrr.

You can use flour to thicken, too, Mame.

right now, i always heard throwing in a couple of raw potatoes would soak up some salt, so i hope we are all right and it helps with mame's dish!
the other thing would be to multiply the entire recipe by 200 and leave out the extra salt LOL

Right now, the baby potatoes are delish - but they didn's seem to soak up any major salt. Iguess they were too tiny. But its all I got. ;( I threw in some paprika to at least change the flavour. In the end I added a ton of water and it seems somewhat better now. I think...
Oh and I'm removing the blindfold now. ;)

Right NOW - SUCCESS! Thank you everyone! Dinner was a major success. You guys rock! Vinnie had 2 HUGE helpings, and was too busy eating to give me a critique.

Oh... RIGHT NOW, he says you could tell it was NOT cooked by sailor. (?) Turns out he means that sailors are called 'salty dogs'...

Yeah, Mames, the blindfold always goes over well. LOL

hmmm, maybe julie...i'll wait and see.

i just saw this site shown on a show here in los angeles (actually it was a repeat...i saw it months ago too). got great reviews.

eta: from what i saw on tv, it was great because you could just look at all the cars on the computer monitor. pick out the car. then "they" take you to the car and you test it all out, etc.

Right now I am wondering if those snore strips really work so I can get a peaceful nights sleep with my hubby in the same room LOL!

right now, i only know of one person who used them, years ago. darn, i forget the person.

but it worked. don't know how, but it worked.

also, i know you won't understand what i'm talking about, because i barely remember this.

i catched a few episodes of kathy griffin's (sp?) reality show. her husband (well, now soon to be ex-husband if you believe all the gossip) had a big snoring problem, apparently. the show showed her husband sleeping with this snorkle-like looking device he slept with. she said something like it saved their marriage (well, maybe for a short time).

anyway, worth a try. not too much worse, imo, than not being able to get a peaceful night's sleep.

Right now, I am willing to build a sound proof room for hubby LOL!

right now, the "snorkel looking device" is a CPAP (continuous positive air pressure) machine. it's for people with sleep apnea. not just snorers. i know, i have it. and i sleep every night with a cpap.

landi, i hope i didn't offend you in anyway with my post about what i saw about kg's husband using the "snorkel looking device".

also, i only used that term because that is what i remember what kg said about the device. however, my memory is not worth a nickle in the last year or so.

Giz, I got a buckwheat hull pillow for my husband Bigdog and it somehow stops him snoring. However, he has to be on the pillow and sleeping on his side. Occasionally his snoring will wake me up in the night, and I invariably find that he is sleeping on his back or off the pillow. I put the pillow back under his head and tell him to roll over on his side, and we both go back to sleep without noise.

Just Google buckwheat hull pillow, and you will find many sellers if you are interested in trying it out.

Well, zounds! This is as good a price as I have ever seen. They are normally $40-$50.

Right now, when my husband sleeps on his back, it's horrible! Sounds like a tank is plowing through our bed.

juju, i bought two of those pillows about 8 years ago. i still use them, but...they are not comfortable AT ALL. i didn't buy them for snoring problems. just for comfort.

i was told, wait, wait until they "form" to your head/neck.

yep, right, all these years later i'm still trying to make them conform and comfortable.

martha stewart even recommended them on her show years ago....so, i am probably the exception.

eta: i couldn't even make my kitty use them...she still wants my cheap pillows! lol

well, if they work for any of you....buy them. whatever works, obviously!
