I just received 5 English cucumbers and do not know what to do with them other than slice and eat. Any ideas?

JennyLeah One of my favorite things to do with cucumber is to add it to water. You know, kind of like adding lemon to water? It's just as good, but different. Crisp, cool, and very refreshing. It's also nice if you add a little sprig of fresh mint, but just cucumber...

Dean says either Clinton or Obama must drop out in June!

ctrymuziklvr @ctrymuziklvr (11057) • United States 28 Apr 08

Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean said Monday that either Hillary Rodham Clinton or Barack Obama must drop out of the Democratic presidential race after the June primaries in order to unify the party by the convention and win...

JennyLeah I think the person who needs to drop out is Howard Dean. Really, how dare he say that? The party isn't divided because of this race, the race is divided because of the party! Howard Dean's bias is clear in his response to Florida and Michigan (which, for...

Food of the gods......bacon sandwich

TinaP40 @TinaP40 (329) • Spain 3 Apr 08

I love bacon sandwiches especially first thing in the morning on really soft white bread, oh yum they really are food of the gods, do you agree?

JennyLeah My two favorite sandwiches in the world both have bacon. One would be a classic BLT - on toasted sourdough bread, with real mayonnaise (homemade if you can swing it), especially with garden fresh tomatoes and a crisp, peppery lettuce like romaine or...

I never realized how great Tide is

KatieS @KatieS (503) • United States 16 May 07

When my son was living at home, I always used Tide.If I used anything else he would get a rash. When he left home, it was instinct just to get Tide. But then I noticed some friends were using something less expensive and I decided...

JennyLeah It's so funny to me that your son would get a rash if you used a brand other than Tide, because Tide has always given me a terrible rash! I have horribly sensitive skin, though. I still use "baby" detergents, which are crazy expensive, but they save me the...

JennyLeah I love cookbooks. In fact, simply saying I love cookbooks does not begin to convey how strongly I feel for them. I have a good sized collection, and I'm always - let me repeat that so it gets the emphasis it deserves: ALWAYS - on the lookout for new ones. I...

Have you ever forgotten to add a major ingredient when cooking?

Laurla98 @Laurla98 (786) • United States 21 Sep 07

I haven't done it thus far. But I was reminiscing with my mom the other day. She has done it twice that I"m aware of. Both times when she made cookies. The first time, she doubled the recipe...but forgot to double the flour. The...

Who's The Cook?

Malyck @Malyck (3425) • Australia 22 Aug 07

In your house, who makes most of the meals? Do you and your partner share the responsibility? Maybe your children or housemates cook some nights?

JennyLeah I do most of the cooking in our house. Or, at least, I do most of the experimenting in the kitchen. LOL! When I'm working, my partner does most of the cooking, because I'm working. On days that I'm off or when I'm not working, I cook. I love cooking and I...

Green tomatoes?

cutepenguin @cutepenguin (6431) • Canada 20 Aug 07

Due to the rain this summer, we, and everyone around us, have a lot of green tomatoes in the garden that they say are not going to ripen. Because it is a community garden, we don't get very many of each thing (we don't want to be...

JennyLeah Fried green tomatoes also make for an amazing BLT sort of "sandwich". Fry up some pancetta (American bacon doesn't work as well in this "sandwich" - it's a textural thing against the tomatoes), gather some arugula leaves, and layer them between two slices...

Favorite type of soup?

wiccania @wiccania (3360) • United States 21 Jul 07

I'm currently working on developing recipes for a cookbook of soups, stews and chili. I'm just curious as to what type of soups and stews you like? Not looking for recipes, just general types. Do you prefer soup to be heavy on the...

JennyLeah It's summer so I'm really digging cold soups recently. You can never go wrong with gazpacho, can you? And a good, chilled cucumber soup is always lovely. Carrot ginger soup is great too, because it's good hot or cold, so it's entirely versatile. I also...

Disappointed in Book 7?

dinkle @dinkle (67) • United States 9 Aug 07

I for one, thought that as the final book in an outstanding series, Deathly Hallows was a little bit of a let down. Does anyone else share this feeling with me?

7 responses •

1 person

JennyLeah Yes, and no. The way I see it... or at least, the way I read it, Deathly Hallows was more then anti-climax to the series than the main event. The books really don't stand alone after Chamber of Secrets, which makes Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone the only...
