[QUOTE=Laughing Lagomorph] Not to be pushy or anything but most people get better results cooking their food in some type of oven, or on a stove. [/QUOTE] Ok, someone reassure me that I’m not the only person reading this and thinking, " You know, I do have that attachment for my dryer which creates a platform to dry sweaters on. It would make a nice flat space for a dish of something, and lets face it, I never use it for sweaters." Ooh! Disconnect the dryer hose so it vents into the house and put some nice fresh garlic toast on the sweater rack! Then you keep the toast nice and warm and spread the lovely garlic toast smell at the same time! Enjoy, Steven ---

[QUOTE=Muffin] I very much enjoy fresh peas in a butter sauce or even frozen/reheated peas, but canned peas make me gack on the floor, and there is nothing quite so lonely as that. Please tell me that you are not eating canned peas! [/QUOTE] Canned peas are the only kind to go with this meal. I like frozen peas too, but they’re like a different vegetable or something. I think it goes back to my childhood. But ONLY LeSeur Early Peas. Not the big yucky pasty ones. ---

It’s Monday night, and I’m on my own for dinner since I’ve got class. I could go for some garlic and butter chicken wings, but they’re kind of greasy. There’s always McDonald’s or Sheetz. I think I’ll go to Sheetz for hot dogs. Be back in a few minutes. Robin ---

I have taken some spaghetti sauce and simmered it with onions and shrimp. I am gong to add some cheese and heat it up in about 10 minutes. ---

[QUOTE=MsRobyn] I think I’ll go to Sheetz for hot dogs. [/QUOTE] A lot depends on how you pronounce that name. I can’t help but think of a dog excreting. ---

Tonight is Salisbury Steak with brown gravy, french fries, sliced peaches. Oh, and the Salisbury Steak can be served like an open-faced sandwich, on bread, for those of us who like it that way (that would be just me; the kids aren’t big on the open-faced sandwich thing).
