    I love most vegetables! This sounds really good. I'd like to try different kinds of squash together.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.
    [/SIZE]



    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    Do the squash with yellow onions and carrots.

    Dress them with a touch of bottled dressing-Italian, the spicy kind is killer!

    The carrots and the onions get so sweet it a crime!

    then empty it into the steamer!

    You Guys!

    Just like all the other I-net and TV "Cooks" ...

    Just gloss rite over all those "phine points" and lil details that make the
    BIG difference between success and something the Dawgs won't touch!


    WRITE what you MEAN ... and QUIT leavin stuff out!
    Those lil "details" where "veryone knows THAT" =

    NO, "everyone" does NOT know all that stuff.

    The first Green Bell Peppers I ever bought almost rotted before I managed to
    find the "directions" for how to "open 'em" and what to do next!

    Where's my Kan Opener? ... I gotta "cook" lunch!

    Oh dear, Phred - you need a copy of Fanny Farmer's basic cookbook. It has an entry for every vegetable, for example, and assumes you know absolutely nothing about 'em - quite helpful for newbies to the kitchen!

    I've heard all that before!

    MOM sent me off on my first job in Endwell, New York, armed with similar words
    and one of Betty Crocker's famous "beginner's cookin books"!

    I got lost half way down the first page ...
    I never admitted it to Mom, but I re-gifted the book to who I thought at the time
    was a needy young lady. She didn't share my thoughts ... I never got invited for dinner.
    (And never saw the cookin book again, either.)

    Iffin I can't understand the "directions" printed on the back of the box or bag,
    then the "Pretty Picture on the Front" never makes it to the check-out line!

    Okay, so it is true - cookbooks don't work iff'n ya don't read 'em! ... Tucking the Fanny Farmer paperback under your pillow won't make the knowledge leak in while you're sleeping, either - it'll just give ya a crick in the neck!

    But I will promise to post clarifications to recipes if I think anyone's skippin' a step for ya, okay?

    NUTZ!

    Betty never talked through the pillow, either!

    And that darn Hard Cover, encyclopedia-sized book gave me worse than "a crick inna neck"!

    No "assumed steps" ~ That'll help a LOT!

    Now, how about the Next Ressipee Problem?

    About every other step or so, the Action Verb of the instruction is usually
    written in some cryptic foreign language ... requiring a lengthy search for the meaning. --OR--
    It's some overly simplistic term with multiple common meanings ...

    EggZamplez:

    "Cook" ... OK, HOW?? FAST, slow, hot, burning hot, with or w/o water, oil, skins, leaves ???

    "Saute" ... Gehzuntite! ... Burn it in Oil ... OK, how do you know when to quit?

    "Bring to a Boil, then COOK ..." ~ For the luvva ___! ~ Whas'sa difference?
    ... Are we gonna BOIL it or are we gonna COOK it?
    ... Whadda ya do between Boil and Cook ... stand on your head?

    Betty and I never seemed to be speakin the same language.

    I know I'm in trouble when I open the Wrong End of the can ...
    and then can't read all the How To instructions on the label.

    If you run into one of these, post the whole thing in context, and I'll clarify! I am a chef? No. I was one of those annoying kids who asked a lot of questions, so owe it to Grandma Peterson (whose only child, my Dad, was probably not nearly as annoying) to patiently answer all questions for the rest of my life! That, and children in my family are encouraged to help in the kitchen starting at age 4 ...
