Texannie | Tuesday, November 18, 2003 - 07:59 am     I have been asking for two years for the Kitchen Aid stand up mixer!!! |
Ddr1135 | Tuesday, November 18, 2003 - 08:04 am     Lol, but I hate to cook, so I guess I'm in the minority in this thread. |
Eliz87 | Tuesday, November 18, 2003 - 08:08 am     Texannie, you want mine? I have a stand-up mixer that I never use -- it's a Black & Decker that I bought for my mom. She never used it and I used it once. I just prefer the hand mixer and it's just taking up space in my cupboard. It's got a digital readout and all that kind of stuff. I'm serious. Please shoot me an e-mail (eliz_87@yahoo.com) if you want it. Totally free to you, and it would be off my hands. |
Texannie | Tuesday, November 18, 2003 - 08:20 am     check your mail! |
Texannie | Tuesday, November 18, 2003 - 08:34 am     After all this talk of ham, I put one in the ******** with a little applesauce and barbecue sauce. It's an already cooked one, so I have it on the 10 hour cook..hope it's not mush! Gonna fix a pot of red beans to go with. |
Tabbyking | Tuesday, November 18, 2003 - 08:41 am     we have had our kitchenaide mixer with dough hook, etc., for 20 years and it still works like a champ. it is the off-white. i would love the cobalt blue! i'll bet we use it 3 or 4 times a week at least. i also like practical gifts! laundry basket, bathrobe, luxurious bath sheet, tablecloth... |
Tabbyking | Tuesday, November 18, 2003 - 08:42 am     maybe a dutch oven this year LOLOL |
Texannie | Tuesday, November 18, 2003 - 08:50 am     CROCKPOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
Reader234 | Tuesday, November 18, 2003 - 08:58 am     LOL, people, people, I'm not saying those are not valuable pieces of equipment that you DESERVE, but, Y'all deserve to be SPOILED!!! Budget the appliances,take it from each account, then free up something for those holidays that makes you spoiled - just do it, make me happy!! See, you dont have to spend money on it either, my favorite gift my dh gave to me was a couple hours alone!! He drew my bath, he bought some bath oil, a bath pillow, and a candle.... I love my kitchen aide (eliz there's one with digital readouts???!!) I couldnt live without my cast iron stuff, dutch oven too!! BUT dh works in the kitchen, (and LOL he has even put down on his Christmas wish list an appliance or two from time to time...) but I gift it to "US" !! So, in closing, I just want to make sure that you are all treated with value, love and respect!! How you chose to be shown that, well, ok fine, if it must be with a cord, then let the cord be pretty!! |
Lumbele | Tuesday, November 18, 2003 - 09:17 am     Another one here who loves to get equipment to make my time in the kitchen easier. Got a Kitchenaid last Christmas. The hand mixer still sees plenty of action but I looooooove the standup. Icecream is in the works as we "speak". See, Mum, no hands! |
Texannie | Wednesday, November 19, 2003 - 12:23 pm     SBG...just wanted to let you know I have the most wonderful smelling pot of veggie soup going in the "word that cannot be said outloud" |
Sweetbabygirl | Wednesday, November 19, 2003 - 12:57 pm     LOL! (SBG follows Tex into kitchen, spoon in grubby hand) |
Texannie | Wednesday, November 19, 2003 - 01:02 pm     Come on!! |
Reader234 | Monday, December 15, 2003 - 07:22 am     Guess who bought a roast>>> Buy one get one free, coudnt resist with DS home... Well I've never cooked a beef round tip, end off, so had to come here, the butcher said to marinade it for acouple of hours, then bake... choices, choices... crockpot, or dutch oven??? |
Bobbie_552001 | Monday, December 15, 2003 - 07:54 am     I have used both Reader...but prefer the crockpot. I have never marinated it...but I do add a pack of Lipton Onion Soup or 1 can of cream of mushroom soup. Start it in the AM, before heading off to school...and let that baby cook all day. That evening it will fall apart and your gravy will be right there with it. Bobbie is wondering what time she should be there for dinner?? |
Sweetbabygirl | Monday, December 15, 2003 - 08:50 am     <SBG looks at watch, running after Bobbie, hoping to catch a ride to Readykins' place> |
Amchess | Monday, December 15, 2003 - 08:57 am     I would just marinate it, then just pop in oven. We love the brown outside and not quite red inside! Not blood rare, just enuf to call it cooked, lol! Now I am really hungry! |
Grannie | Monday, December 15, 2003 - 09:38 am     I vote for the crockpot Reader. That meat will bo so tender by the time you get home from work. Ummmm. I sometimes add carrots and potatoes to the crockpot then you have everything all done and in one dish. If you cook just the roast you could use it to make burritos, etc. Good luck. |
Bobbie_552001 | Monday, December 15, 2003 - 10:07 am     <If you hurry SBG we'll make it just in time for dinner...tomorrow night> |
Lkunkel | Monday, December 15, 2003 - 10:09 am     Hmmm. All this talk of roasts have gotten me hungry. I guess later I'll walk over and see if I can find a cut of meat on sale. |
Twinkie | Monday, December 15, 2003 - 10:15 am     I flour and brown my roast in oil on all sides in a large pot. Then add a little water, lipton onion soup mix and an onion and pop the lid on and cook on low for several hours, add potatoes and carrots and cook until they are done. YUM YUM! |
Reader234 | Monday, December 15, 2003 - 11:39 am     Crockpot wins! I did brown in oil first (liked to never found my sautee pan tho, dh actually not only did the dear wash it he *gasp PUT IT AWAY!! Trust me, THAT never happens!!) I usually have cans of beef stock, I didnt, but I did have a packet of the soup mix, so I took out some of those onions cause I use fresh onions, carrots and used a great merlot, a bit of mustard and honey (I thought about adding some brown sugar, but hey why not!) I'll let you know how it turns out!! I have a crusty loaf of Italian bread - I decided on mashed potatoes for the gravy, plus I hope ds can eat the mashed potatoes (poor dear is still sick! ) peering out window, hoping SBG will pick up Bobbie on the I80 tollway... just breeze thru those states to IL dears, I'm waiting!! Now who will help me clean the house, and get the tree out of the garage, and put it up, and decorate it??? (see just typing it exhausts me, maybe tomorrow?!) |
Bobbie_552001 | Monday, December 15, 2003 - 11:59 am     as long as you have a little of that Merlot left over, shoot...I might even help with the tree..how about it SBG?? |
Colossus | Monday, December 15, 2003 - 08:44 pm     HOW TO COOK A ROAST??? Stick it where it's hot and let it broil. OKOKOKOK; It takes a bit more. Carrots, Celery, onions. Let the "whin..ing" be the part that is too taste. Bobbie; We (GAL & I) had the most wonderful "toast" this weekend. Hot cast iron stove; sizziling with olive oil; sliced loafed bread; Great German food...(sorry lost my head) |
Lkunkel | Tuesday, December 16, 2003 - 11:25 am     okay...I'm off to the store to find a cut of meat. I have the suggestions from previous posts. Now to just find one that will give us good meat for leftover sandwiches. |
