I let some muffins sit on my range overnight one time, and also forgot to turn the oven off. The next morning the muffins were hard as a rock, so I threw them out in the river thinking the ducks would eat them after they absorbed the water and make them soft. Hours later I came home from work to find the muffins had NOT absorbed a single drop of water and had in fact came in with the tide as if they were not in the river for 12 hours. Sooooo... I glued some magnets to the backs of the muffins and use them on my refrigerator

...what is this stuff?! And why can't I seem to find it? Anyone? Where on earth can I buy it??

Thanks!!!

If you like or want to try to cook Russian / Ukrainian food - Pelmeni (ravioli) dumpling mold will help you to do it easy. Also I will give you recipe in English.

I just love all the retro and fun aprons available in the stores now and I have even made one for myself and sold a few I've made, but, truth be told, most times when I'm cooking, I forget to put my apron on! I usually revert back to my old habits of wiping my hands on a dishtowel and letting the cooking splatters fall where they may.

I was wondering if any of you are putting an apron on each time you step up to the oven or stove, or are you like me and forget you have an apron (or just too lazy to put it on)?

Just wondering!

Hi everyone, I'm working from home today - not even stepping foot out of the house :) It's raining here in NJ and I made pancakes for my boys but I only ever make them from a just add water mix. Does anyone have a recipe for pancakes that they really love? I tried one from a cookbook once but it wasn't very good and they were flat. I'm going to search the site allrecipes and thought I would ask here too.

Hope you are all having a great day, if I find anything good I'll post it.
