@pedalpowered: To get the slices, you need to use one of the attachment blades that probably came with your food processor. Instead of sitting down in the bowl like the normal blade, it's a disk th...

Laura- It is hard to describe without saying "it just tastes like an artichoke." But a fresh one has a mild flavor- a very "green" taste with a hint of sweetness. Maybe a cross between an asparagus...

@gormandizzy: Yes, Hummingbird cake is very similar, although all of the versions I've made have pineapple and are more moist than this cake. @Indy Jeffrey: Obviously my friend knew it...

@gochrisgo: You can buy them online at the Sister Schubert's website. Or find a Wal-Mart...

@skorky64: True, you are just going to put them in water. I find it's easier/more pleasant to slice something that's not soaking wet (less likely for your knife to slip). @xieta: creme...

Funny, I'm watching TV right now and just saw an ad for Vote for Wine. How timely! It's getting serious, apparently. Thought I'd update all of you: the ad says it was paid for by Wegmans.

happiness: no, it's not. It does look a little more yellow in the photos, but it's orange- a color that's been around a while.

sils: Click on the link for the dill and yogurt chicken salad, above. It's got a little mayo, but mostly yogurt, so you could probably go all yogurt, no mayo. As for the mustard in this recipe, you...

Faith- I like the look of sisal (or a jute/wool blend, which is much softer), which keeps it neutral. But then you can throw a smaller (4x6 or 5x7) on top, under the coffee table. I did something s...

I have the Fisher and Paykel ones, and I really like them. I rarely use both drawers, though (only with a big dinner party). I fill up the top and run it. I've thought maybe I should alternate?? Do...

fib: I'm from Memphis, actually, and I use this recipe for pulled pork sandwiches all the time. You're right that you won't have the smoky flavor (boo) but it's still good. If you're making it just...

heather77: One thing they do lack is a rough side, true. But I don't think the green/scrubby sides of those green and yellow sponges really work well, either. I think it helps to have a scrub brush...

That's great to know about the cheaper TJ's version- thanks, guys.

HeatherLouWho: Good to know- thanks!

Julie: I did not do anything the first time I made it, and it came out fine. Second time, I sprayed it quickly with Pam and it came out slightly easier, but no big difference.

TannerAdair: I'm not sure a marker would wipe off of these containers. It would probably be permanent. But you could stick a piece of painter's tape or masking tape on them (or use a label maker, i...

Virginia: I do strip the leaves away from the stems on the collards. My method is to put the leaves face down on a cutting board and make two long slices along either side of the spine. So you get ...

Staar84- You could certainly use pinenuts, as akostalas suggested. They might be easier to find and would go well with the rest of the ingredients (I'm just not a huge pinenut fan, hence the hazeln...

HallieB- I want that recipe.

Sofia E- You're right. She won the Golden Globe for Revolutionary Road... I fixed it, thanks.
