Isn’t it though?!
Found this site courtesy of our Roku. LOL each month just go through their bulletin/blog and subscribe to new sites seen. When the time allows, check them out to see how ‘great’ they might be.

This particular one was destined to be seen due to the upcoming Super Bowl. And have yet to find a male gender who refuses food at any time...especially during a match.

The Deep Fried Baked Potato and the Chicken Sandwich are two which ooze deliciousness....all that wonderful BACON adds to this :-) DH saw this video and was certainly impressed. :-O
Always searching, seldom disappointed.

No dog in the hunt for this game. Our Cowboys once again disappointed us. Perhaps next year :-/

BTW- WESTMINSTER DOG SHOW this month should you be interested. “Best in Show” always a treat.

I add small pasta most of the time.
Parmesan cheese all of the time :)

Those sound much better than those thumbprint cookies. I love jam, so I always try to find things I can it bake it into. But those thumbprint cookies the jam ends up getting gooey and kind of overcooked. This sounds more like it’ll end up like a pie, a tiny little crispy pie!

Ack, dish soap and baking soda doesn’t work. Not one bit. Have sore arms and fingers are all wrinkled and not one spot came up.

Oh yeah, I’ll add Parmesan to just about anything (except cereal or dessert)

Shoot. Sorry for your roughened fingertips.

Did googling have any other ideas?

Found this - not good news:

“Do not try to remove cooked on baking spray from non-stick bakeware.

The removal of the cooking spray residue will likely remove the nonstick coating. If you have used baking or cooking spray on your non-stick muffin tins, don’t worry too much, you’re just going to have ugly muffin tins.”

I assume pans and bakeware are similar.

It talks about heating poking spray creates a polymer that can’t be removed :(

Have you ever seen the mocumentary, “Best in Show”? We think it is hysterical.

Yeah, the Packers disappointed us. I’m not much of a sports fan, but I don’t dare verbalize that in Cheesehead country. Our church members even wear Packers jerseys for their first game of the season. Thank goodness I can honestly say that there is no idolatry going on in our church—just harmless fun, but you’d be wise to have an informed commentary after each game.

I’ll check out the deep fried...you mention.

“Best in Show” one of the funniest movies seen.
The annual dog show always takes us back to that particular movie. Fred Willard a hoot - still miss Fernwood Tonight :-/

I confess to being an avid dog lover and certainly no breed favored over another. They might be mutts but still dear to my heart.

I store up vegies that I don’t use in freezer bags. So come late fall its time for soup. This recipe is sorta a guesstimate concerning the amounts.

Crock Pot Minestrone
1 can of skinned plum tomatoes, diced.
About 2 cps beef broth.
Sauté lightly a couple cloves garlic, 1 cp. celery and zucchini, 1/2 cp. each of cabbage, onion, asparagus, broccoli, carrots, red pepper, green pepper or what ever is in the freezer.
1/2 to 1# pre-cooked Italian sausage.
Pinch of thyme.
Season to taste with Better Than Bullion or salt
Crock Pot all day
Add about a cp of small precooked pasta when done.

(This year I didn’t have small pasta so I diced up macaroni. LOL! Chopping is my idea of meditation!)

For years I did this simmering in a stock pot. This year I got a new Crock Pot and used that instead. Yowza! What a difference.

I recommend instead of simmering soups and stews of the stove, try a crock pot.

We had your lentil soup tonight! I give it five stars :-) I made some bread bowls to put it in, made a salad with blue cheese dressing, and we were happy campers.

Great! It definitely is a filling and comforting meal. It amazed me how much soup only a pound of lentils can make. It freezes well, too.
