Last week I ran out of mayo and made egg salad substituting super-ripe avocadoes. It's a new fav around here!

Gotta try some of your suggestions--these look great.

Great idea! Some recipes call for the white part only, but if you have two or three jars growing, you'll have enough to keep the supply going and still be able to meet your recipes' requirements.

Thanks!

Re-Growing Green Onions: Grow Your Scallions Back on Your Windowsill

I make what we call nuclear soup and pack it into the freezer in pint-sized deli cups, so it's at the ready when one of us comes down with a case of the miseries.

It's essentially a huge pot of chicken & vegetable soup. What makes it nuclear--and medicinal--is that I include the largest onion I can find, a full head of garlic and as much cayenne pepper as we can endure. It's amazing how this stuff will open a completely stopped up head. Here's how I make it: http://www.hungrypassport.com/2008/08/nuclear-soup/

We also keep some lotiony tissues on hand for sore noses, and we burrow under what we call the MFB, Most Favored Blanket, plush and cuddly and a total cat magnet. Those little darlings are the best remedy of all!

If you're good at making your own pasta, you have a great gift/donation to offer--teach a lesson! I like to give certificates for pasta making lessons for wedding gifts and donate them for charitable causes. It's loads of fun, and it helps demystify something that really isn't so difficult. Just get together for dinner, a dinner your guests help make, and send them home with a little booklet--or disk--of the recipes you made.

I'd like to share my recipes for pistachio & chestnut pasta doughs; also the method for pressing fresh herbs and edible flours inside sheets of pasta dough: http://www.hungrypassport.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/ESB_Pasta_sm.pdf

As for pasta hung over the back of a chair to dry: in our household we call that a cat toy!

Cheers! Carol
