Thanks SallyT for the recipe idea --- that soup sounds really good.

Thanks PurplePotato. I'll take a look for it next time I'm shopping, and do an internet search to see some ideas on how its used.

This weekend I had a sample at Whole Foods of an Open-Face Cucumber and Tahini Sandwich. I thought the 1 inch sample was very good. I was super hungry (so that might have influenced me :D), and I...

Just a little purchase on a rainy Thursday. Yowza. I just read this on the Huffington Post.

Thialin --

I'm still tracking away. I agree --- averages are really of little use since what one eats (do they eat out, do they buy lots of organic, big meat eaters etc), all play a huge role. ...

Thanks again. Never heard of feedly ---- thanks for the info on that too. For some reason I never jumped on GoogleReader etc, and now that GooglerReader is gone, good to know about feedly and how...

Thanks for the post Amarante. Off to check out the joyofbaking site, and instapaper. I only get one magazine now -- saves paper and helps with the clutter.

I really like this one that Elisabeth13 posted a few years back. Here's her post .....

I was just wondering ---- do you like having your cookbooks in an electronic format? Do you prefer that to a print book? Have you basically gone the e-route, assuming the book that you want is...

Thialin -- I'm a big fan of rice and beans too. I did like the idea of some kind of topping with the dish so I added avocado. I love avocado and its a definite go to for me for many dishes and how...

I hope you enjoy it --- loved how super easy it was to pull together, and I'm always on the lookout for new rice and bean recipes. If didn't have lots of flavor in terms of spice etc. I thought it...

I made this recipe of Cuban Black Beans and Rice tonight -- it is from Real Simple. I thought it was very good. I halved the recipe, made, left out the radishes, and topped with some chopped...

Donleyk --- You are so right, spending cash makes one much more aware of how much you are spending. I've read that some only allocate a certain amt of money on say groceries, and carry that amount...

I ending up tracking my expenses the whole month and it was a pretty interesting exercise. I ended up going shopping at a grocery store 12 times (and that number is only grocery stores, not...

hAndyman -- I was thinking maybe they add some, or perhaps lots of fat. Who knows. Maybe I shouldn't ask the question. Ha. They were soooo good.

Andrea -- That recipe sounds great. And, maybe...

I ate at a Mexican restaurant and with my main of chicken/grilled veggies, came a great side of black beans. The side dish was very creamy in texture/smooth with great flavor. And, the black bean...

Thanks so much for the info Amarante! I feel the same way, if I give it a try and make some money, great. For those books that don't sell (along with the ones that I won't even spend the time...

Amarante --

I forgot to ask... if you don't m asking. How long would you say (a rough guesstimate) on average, it took for your books to sell? And, were most specialty/niche type books or more...

Cocoa'sMom -- Thanks so much for the feedback. And, wow, that's a great return on that furniture! I would be happy too. I don't have any large items to sell, and can certainly see the benefit of...

In my quest to get rid of some stuff around my apartment that I never use, on Saturday, I went thru some books, pulled out some things in those far reaching cabinets etc. Nothing like some spring...

Thanks for posting. I definitely will be trying this --- how can I not when it says"With flavors reminiscent of a falafel" but with less work and easy to pull together.

I just copied the recipe,...

I pulled out my fleece jacket today. Does that tell you. :D It was in the low 50's much of the day.

Lea --

The Greek Yogurt Pancake recipe is great. I've made it a bunch of times. And, before that, it was years and years since I've made pancakes. So that says quite a bit. They are great. ...

You're welcome everyone. I used to make it fairly often, but then basically stopped for some reason. I was going thru some old recipes, and have been making some old favorites recently.
...

Thanks for posting all the recipes. I have my eye on the pancakes and the pasta recipe.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the extra ideas. I think I'm going to just go the skillet route (and wrap it with a fun dish towel etc) and skip the cookbook (a switch from my original plan).

But that doesn't stop me...

Wallycat, thanks for the cookbook suggestion. I wouldn't mind one for myself. I LOVE my Lodge skillet. Off to check it out.

Riverfarm, great idea. The "instructions" on the pan just give the...

That's a great idea! I'm going to print up a recipe or two, maybe tie it all up with a pretty dish towel or toss in a wooden spoon (since she has a definite problem with collecting those), and done!...

I was able to score a super cheap deal on a 12" Lodge skillet A store was closing and having a huge sale, and I eyed the pan sitting on the bottom shelf. Only $10!

My friend's bday is coming up...

Vbak --

Oh, that stinks that you lost all the food. Certainly not the way you wanted to clean out the freezer. I would have the same response as you. I would try to let it go, but I'll admit I...
