No, you don't have to preboil the veggies. You can also make this in a crock pot, but the result isn't quite a good as in a roaster in the oven. Just do pretty much the same thing and cook it on high for several hours. I think the difference is in the gravy at the end, but the crock pot method is al...

This my favorite way - it's the proverbial pot roast that every wife served on Sunday in the 50's and 60's. I use a nice big chuck roast and you will need a fairly big roaster and about 3 hours. I have an ancient old blue speckled one I use. Brown the roast in a skillet on both sides with a little s...

And GreyFuss, make sure you follow this lovely experience up with Intrigue at Oakhaven Plantation. This one has a story line that is just - well just the best. I know what you mean about having such a place as Mystery Manor to visit and hang out with good friends. No stress - no egos - no mind-bendi...

Kids absolutely love it and you can use whatever their favorite ice cream flavors are, not just sherbert.

Yup, that's what I do. Use a serrated bread knife if you have one and brush the crumbs off before you put on your pudding or frosting. I usually leave the top one uncut. For my ice cream cake, I cut each of the rounds in half also to give myself 4 layers. Like Winfrey says, have a little treat! Whil...

Hmmm... Sophie, this looks like something I could cook up a large batch of and can about a half dozen pints. I pressure can, so don't have to worry about adding something acidic. This really sounds good.

Just so it's not a "burnt offering," Sophie!

Oh, yum, Winfrey! The Cacciatore is on the menu for next weekend. I only have time to cook on the weekends. Which is a good think because we'd both weigh 400 lbs if I cooked every day! Ick! I don't think I could eat the goat meat after raising Amalia either, Hawka! Glad the guys liked it anyway.

You forget, Mr. Smarty-Pants GreyFuss--- I actually have your snail mail address. He, he, he! Just wait until you get a package of nice spicy food in the mail! :twisted: Hawka, I was wondering what you were doing with all those dried chilies! I don't think you got any of the chipotles though. I thin...

And a little something for the "season" from Emeril Lagasse's recipies. I'm requested to make this every year. It's well worth the time and is really pretty easy. Andouille Sausage, Red Beans and Rice * 1 pound dried red beans * 1 tablespoon vegetable oil * 1 cup chopped yellow onions * 1/...

I tried something new this year with a couple of 5 gallon buckets of jalapenos at the end of the season. I made chipotles from them. I smoked them for about 4 hours in a smoker with different woods - wild cherry from the pasture, sassafras, mesquite and hickory. Then I dried them in the dehydrator. ...

It's too bad we lost the old Cave Party thread. That turned into a huge recipe thread! It must have been lost during the hijack or maybe it's just too old. I think it was back in 2005. Melia must post her New Year's Day Black Eyed Peas recipe. I've got it somewhere and can't find it. Here is a very ...

I agree with GreyFuss! Come on, Melia, just give us your general thoughts.....

I for one throroughly enjoyed your comments, GreyFuss. I would SO much rather read about an actual playerr's thoughts and impressions than a professional review. Nicely done! I've never been attracted to these games, but now I may have to rethink that!

I'm glad you finally liked the game, danyboy! I know you were getting pretty frustrated in it for awhile. I really liked the atmosphere in Barrow Hill. With my 17" LCD monitor I didn't have any trouble with the darkness of the scenes. Well, except on the forest path between the cave and the gas...
