| RE: Recipe to Bring to Thanksgiving Dinner |
Try this salad: Just open a can (or more) of kernel corn add whatever you like (chopped green and red pepper, black beans, onions, etc.) Dress with Italian Salad dressing and voila, a great dish for any party or time of year.
What's nice about this is that it doesn't have to be chilled and can be assembled at the site as long as you remember to bring a can opener. ... View related article. |

| RE: Molding Canned Cranberry Sauce |
Mom would heat Hogs Head Cheese (New Orleans dish made of seasoned pork shoulder pieces in gelatin) and pour it into tartlet shells, refrigerate and serve when cooled. Don't see why you couldn't do this with Cranberry Sauce. Don't let the name Hogs Head Cheese revolt you.
Years ago the FDA stopped allowing the use of hogs head, thsy the pork shoulder. Just another case of using all that you had available. ... View related article. |

My Mom and Grandmother worked in the alterations department of a major department store in New Orleans back in the late 1940's through the 1960's. They put the wedding dresses in the sun to bleach the yellow out. Worked wonders for all the society ladies weddings. ... View related article. |

| RE: Use Unused Kitchen Appliances for Storage |
Please, Please, Please. Do not store anything that could melt or catch fire in the oven. Most people know not to store plastics, but some pot and pan handles can catch fire at high temperatures.
A few years ago a man stored some items in his oven and the oven was accidently turned on. When he opened the oven door because he smelled the plastic burning, there was a burst of flames. He died a few days later. ... View related article. |

| RE: Having a Murder Mystery Party |
I don't know what age your guests will be, but if there's going to be alcohol I'd go with Christmas lights. Even if there's no alcohol, a sleeve that catches fire or a candle that's knocked over is just too scary to contemplate.
You could get the Halloween colored lights, or just go with plain white, which I think is elegant. You could put a string of lights in a bowl for a spectacular effect too. Have a great time. Wish I was invited. ... View related article. |

| RE: Saving Money On School Supplies |

We never got ahead of that game. If we bought when the pre-school sales were, the items we bought weren't on the list. Or it wasn't the exact brand or colors of the notebbooks. Buying a year ahead was a guessing game also. Or the items were so picked over by the time school started and we got the list only the most awful colors were left. Finally gave up and homeschooled. ... View related article. |

| RE: New Ideas for Meatloaf |
I never cared for it, but Mom always put a row of hard boiled eggs in the middle of the meatloaf. I usually put as much onion, parsley, green, red, orange and yellow bell peppers, spicy seasoning, etc. as it can take, but I'm from New Orleans
Mixing in some spicy sausage is different. ... View related article. |
