Vintage Candy Monday: Necco Wafers

lo82070, I believe I can go you one better. Not only did my family of Irish Catholic kids play Holy Communion with Necco wafers, we convinced our next door neighbors (the very Jewish Harris kids) to play along with us! Thanks to great parents in both houses, and the lovely innocence of the 50's, no harm done to anyone.

The Next Food Network Star's Lisa Garza: Love Her or Hate Her?

I have to say that reading these comments is ten times more entertaining than the show itself. . .
I think that this woman is the heiress apparent to Rachael Ray, the queen of annoying food tv.

Turkey Brine!

Wow, what a passionate group! (This is my first time to comment.) I have a few things to add. Since I live alone, I cook a turkey breast rather than a whole turkey, and yes, I brine it. Living in Pennsylvania, it is usually cold enough in late November that I can leave it on the back porch in a plastic box rather than taking up refrigerator space. I also prepare "all the fixin's" from stuffing to dessert, half or smaller recipes. Then, on the Monday after Thanksgiving, I email all my friends and family my menu, under the heading "Virtual Thanksgiving." No one seems to find this weird, or maybe they're just not telling me.
