No, I don't want a little cheese with my whine...

<snip>Now, about that crockpot chicken, you put the whole chicken in or cut it up?

On skim-reading, this looked like “crackpot chicken.” Just thought I’d share.

Recently, as a wedding present from my now-most-favoritest cousin, I received a Kitchen-Aid upright Mixmaster with all the little attachments and doodads.

I heard heavenly music when I opened the box.

It’s my presscioussssss.

Our KitchenAid mixer is my favorite tool in the whole house. There’s something about the sound of those worm gears…

Sometimes I can find a medium-size can; if not, I use about half of the large can.

Thank you. I’ve got a pork roast in the freezer that will be introduced to pineapple juice in the very near future!

I want one of those sandwhich makers! When I was in high school, my best friend had one and we used to make hot ham and cheese, or french toast all the time.

I want one that doubles as a waffle iron. Frozen waffles just aren’t the same.

My mom used to make waffles in her cast iron, on the stovetop, waffles came out shaped like hearts waffle maker, with her from scratch recipe. I never appreciated her cooking much when I was at home - I sure would now.

I use a whole chicken when I make my world famous Italian chicken. Pieces work just as well though.

I have a waffle iron/griddle that is probably about 40 years old. Makes the best waffles! I like to use Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix to make waffles. Just follow the directions for making corn muffins and pout the batter in the waffle iron. I can make two huge waffles out of a box. MMMMMM…

I’ll be happy with anything I get this year as long as it’s NOT scented bath products. My MIL and SIL buy me scented bath products every year for Christmas. Usually the very cutesy pre-packaged gift sets you get at places like Bath and Body. The two I received last Christmas (Santa sleigh/vanilla set and flower pot/lavender set) are still in their original packaging. Needless to say, I will be regifting to ladies on my side of the family this year. My mom and other SIL love this stuff!

hmm, don’t you act like you love this stuff when you receive it? Maybe your Mom and ‘other’ SIL should be posting here too!

I just wanted to say I’m glad I’m not the only one with an expensive, unwanted gift from in-laws sitting around. Mine happens to also be a rotisserie. I like rotisserie chicken all right; I like buying it from Safeway all cooked and hot for $7 whenever I feel like having chicken right away. I haven’t even opened the box on mine yet. Maybe some day, but it’s not looking likely. I would cook with a crock pot before I’ll start cooking with a rotisserie. Maybe we’ll get a crock pot next Christmas. Bibliocat, that pork roast sounds wonderful.

My late mother-in-law used to make the tackiest things in pottery class at the Senior Center. Her heart was in the right place, but dear Og, she had no color sense whatsoever. She also valued quantity over quality, and it showed. Her main goal was to turn out more pieces than anyone else. She never looked at any of her works with a critical eye.

I think that there’s a pork roast in our slowcooker’s future. I’ve marinated pork in pineapple juice before, and loved the way it tasted. I bet a slowcooked version is even better. Hmmmmm, cole slaw for a side dish?
