Wendy Starr's Profile

This same exact thing just happened to me too. I live in a small town in Florida and moved here from NYC where there are so many options. I was making a watermelon salsa 3 weeks ago and could not find fresh basil. At one point I considered just trying to go to Home Depot to buy a basil plant (if they had one) because I could not believe that there is no basil to be found in BASIL SEASON. Oh, and people love to say "go to the local farmer's market" but when your local farmer's market is during work hours on a Wednesday it isn't even an option.

I use it in place of apple or cranberry sauce on the side with meat at dinner time. PB&J obviously, on buttered toast, in thumbprint cookies. I also love it on pancakes. If you mix it with a tiny bit of water and microwave it, stir it and put it on pancakes you can make it into more of a syrup rather than jam. I hoard lingonberry jam like nobody's business every time I go to Ikea so I think I've used it for pretty much everything I can!

I would love to know an answer to this too. I bought a similar cutting board with bread slicing guide built in but it still doesn't make it that much easier in my opinion. The plastic is really flimsy. Maybe if they used metal instead so that it wouldn't bend while you saw back and forth with the bread knife it would work better.

My mom's hippie best friend used jars for glasses when I was a kid and I thought it was SO COOL. I think it's a good idea if you're having a casual party and don't want to create a huge pile of plastic waste at the end, or use your everyday glasses, because you can always reuse the jars later.

A single manwich is PURE GOLD!

I bought one in 2008 and used it for most of 2009. Now I am on a diet and barely eat bred unless it is low calorie. I don't know what else to use it for anymore except making pizza dough. I don't want to get rid of it but I really don't need it anymore. Thankfully I am moving to a bigger apartment in the summer and I won't feel as bad about keeping it, haha.

I need to find something to make with this Eggplant that I've been ignoring all week. Hopefully something more exciting than just roasting it.

Tonight I'm making turkey burgers with garlic rosemary roasted red potatoes & spinach salad. Yum!

Peas & carrots, peas on their own, waffles, chicken sausages, ground turkey, boneless skinless chicken breasts, chopped spinach, Morningstar products like the tomato basil pizzaburger which is DELICIOUS, and Steamfresh rice which I have about 10 packages of in my freezer currently. They are great for last minute meals on nights where I have no time and would normally order in.
