I don't think it has a name. When I used to collect old cookbooks at flea markets, my running joke would be to see whether the "community cookbook" included a recipe for it.

Mix one package Lipton...

I'm sure you can find it at any Boca deli as it's the quintessential deli soda - Dr. Browns Celray Tonic (carbonated celery soda) and Dr. Browns Vanilla Soda - loved the vanilla soda/couldn't stand...

Is he a basil or celery aficionado? :D

I was thinking that one could take a can of Dr. Brown's Celray Tonic - mix with vodka and have the low rent version. :p

Is this too Sandra-Leeish - community cookbook type of recipe. Reminds me of that classic from the 1970's - chicken, Lipton onion soup, Russian dressing and apricot jam. :D Still bacon and cheese - I...

These kinds of herbal veggie cocktails are very trendy right now. Probably not what I would opt for but maybe to someone else's taste?


Green Gimlet Cocktail...

I might if my ambition kicks up. I like that I can make at leisure and it is meant to be eaten over the course of several days - perfect for one or two

If you make it, let me know whether you enjoyed it. :)

I quite enjoyed Mary and Lou and Rhoda and Ted: And all the Brilliant Minds Who Made the Mary Tyler Moore Show a Classic by Jennifer Keishin Armstrong. It was an easy read - obviously fans of the...

Missing the Cherrry Heering? :p

I've never had a Blood & Sand - named after the Valentino movie but it also uses Cherry Heering.

INGREDIENTS1 oz. scotch

This was a predecessor to the Cosmo and I imbibed many during boozy Friday lunches at my first job in publishing :D

I finished Reconstructing Amelia by Kimberly McCreight and I found it interesting although I think I would have liked it quite a bit more if I were closer to the subject matter in terms of being a...

I think this thread (not to hijack) illustrates that there are no hard and fast rules for wedding gifts.

I do think gumbeaux makes a valid point as I would give a less expensive gift if casual...

I think hanger steak now goes exclusively to restaurants because it went from being a declasse cut to being trendy. At one time, it was relatively inexpensive as well.

I'm not a meat expert but as...

I have never canned nor will I ever can but my understanding is that you immerse the jars and boil to sterilize and then you heat after filling to ensure that contents are sterilized.

I agree that any kind of traditional etiquette in terms of first, second, third marriages really is meaningless as I think most people give based on a combination of actual generosity, obligation and...

No - it's quite good. What I meant is that the recipe doesn't fit the Thai criteria but I never cook Thai food so this is as close as I would come to it.

As I write, I am getting hungry for my...

It's got fish sauce - does that qualify as Thai? I don't tend to cook a lot of Thai since I live about a mile from Thai Town and anything I could dream of making, they do better and cheap.

These really range the gamut - some are meals - others are sides - some are grain based - some are classics and some represent current trends. Many of from Los Angeles restaurants.

Saute it up is not something I am familiar with - whip it up is I think more common since it is a phrase used outside the kitchen - i.e. they whipped them up into a frenzy.

The phrase that makes...

I think most of the people I know have had a hard time getting immersed in the book but once you get past 40 or so pages, it becomes a fun ride.

It may or may not be worth it for you to keep on...

I don't know what your definition of "rave" is. I found it a little hard to get into for about the first 40 pages and then it became a fun ride.

It certainly wasn't a book that I spent much time...

I have these from The Company Store and I am fine with them but I really don't have much preference regarding sheets other than not liking stiff sheets. I am more particular about what I have on top...

This is a sticky situation and I understand why you feel the need to do more than a card and yet you aren't close enough for it not awkward to call because she is dying.

Not traditional but harissa is a common Moroccan ingredient - makes 1 but I can't imagine making enough for only one.

Oh the irony of someone being offended because others pointed out their comments were mean spirited when the poster felt no compunction about thinking the worst of a casual statement made by the OP....

I also can understand why the OP felt her neighbors were being perverse - whether they are pigs or not, I also would think of people who acted in this manner in less than flattering terms :p

I wanted to expand on Beth's post as I touched on her points tangentially.

I hate to be the messenger of doom but it is extremely difficult for older people to get hired - especially if they are relying responding to ads.
