Does anyone have a recipe for bourbon pecan pie and the sauce that you drizzle over it? I ate one a few years back while in Point Clear, AL at a restaurant but haven't been able to find the recipe.

Has anyone used a canister from vacuum packaging (like Seal-A-Meal) for food storage? We have gone through so much expensive salad in a bag (my daughter likes it) before its time that I am seriously thinking about purchasing the larger canister just for bagged salad storage in the fridge. I already have the Seal-A-Meal machine. I have been using it to vacuum pack meats for the freezer with FoodSaver bags as those are the only ones available where I live. I like it. No complaints. Bought it at Target on sale some time ago. It's the VS 110 BCD.

Mary's Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies
Blend the softened butter and shortening together, add both sugars and mix well. Add vanilla and eggs and mix together well. Dump in the chocolate chips and nuts and stir. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, salt and baking powder and whisk to mix well. Add the flour mixture a little at a time, gently turning to blend together well. If you're in a hurry, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and stick the dough in the freezer while the oven warms. Otherwise refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour until well chilled. I like my cookies on the big side so grab golf ball sized chunks of dough, roll into a ball and flatten. Place on a good quality, ungreased aluminum baking sheet and bake at 375 degrees F for approximately 15 minutes, checking after the first 10. Cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes or so before transferring to a cooling rack and let cool ~ if you can resist!

Cook spaghetti until almost done, but not quite. Mix eggs and cheese in a bowl, add cooled pasta and any optional items if desired. Mix well. In large Teflon coated skillet, add just enough olive oil to lightly coat the bottom. Heat on hot to medium low heat and add pasta. Form pasta so you can flip or turn after browning on one side. Flip after about 6 minutes and brown the other side.
Top with spaghetti sauce or a mixture of 1/2 spaghetti sauce and 1/2 salsa.
To turn pasta, place dish or pizza pan over top of pan and carefully turn pan over so pasta slides onto dish.
Helpful Hints: follow time instructions on spaghetti box, but undercook by 1 to 2 minutes. You must use freshly cooked spaghetti, not leftover.

We went to a B'day party over the weekend and someone brought the most delicious DIRT CAKE made inside of a clean pail and used a shovel to serve it. It was so good, that most people ate too much of it and left with a tummy ache. LOL.
Serves 15
Crumble Oreos, a few at a time, in a blender or food processor. Blend pudding and milk. Blend cream cheese and cool whip; add to pudding mixture and mix well. Put a layer of crumbled Oreos into the flowerpot; add some pudding and candy worms and continue layering. Top layer of "dirt" is made of Oreo cookies with worms wriggling out.
Place flowers on top. Serves 15 to 20.
