For Joyce in TX regarding her grandson's wedding.
Why not put together a notebook of all his favorite recipes of things you used to make for him.
Or get one of those large picture frames with the various size cut-outs and put in pics of him when he was young, as well as other members of the family, especially a pic of you.
Maybe something you've had for years that you would like to pass on to him. I "gave" my grandson my grandmother's rocking chair when he was born. He's still only ten, but when he eventually gets his own place, the chair will be there.

Grandchildren don't want fancy gifts from grandparents, they want treasured memories.

Hello all in Nancyland, I'm looking for a clone or TNT recipe for the cheese bread they serve at "Black Angus Steak House" My DH had some, but I didn't taste it, so have no idea what could be in it. He really liked it and I would like to try to make some at home for him. Any help would be appreciated.

Nancy you sound like one busy lady. So happy you found time for us with the newsletter. Don't know what I would do without it. Hugs for you and pats for the cats. Everybody have a great tomorrow. Betty in Whittier.


Nancy,
I bought a used pasta maker off of shopgoodwill.com and once I got the box open I see there isi no instructions. Would you or any of the readers be able to help me out with it? It is a pasta perfect made by gourmet royale, model number PM-700. It says it makes a pound and a half of pasta. It's electric and I don't know where to begin, this is a new venture for me and I am hoping for help so I can play with my new toy!! Thank you before hand and I hope someone can help!!

This is for Darlene-Lafayette, IN. asking about keeping ants out of hummingbird feeders June 11, Pg.2. My hummingbird feeder came with a plastic piece like a little cup to hang above the feeder. In the plastic piece you put Vaseline. This keeps the ants out of my feeders. I hope this helps.
Ann in Midland, TX


Hi Nancy!
To the reader who asked for ant remedies, use fresh mint! Perhaps the reader with all the mint can send some to the one who needs it?
Lara in WV


What exactly is heavy cream? Where can it be found at a Walmart and what kind of package is it in?

Hey everyone!
I hope someone out there can help me. My oldest son is coming home on leave from the Navy next month and I need a reliable sourdough starter and bread recipe. He loves sourdough bread and I have not been able to find a recipe that really works. I want to make our 12 days the best possible. Also, does anyone have any suggestions for a Navy themed party? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is for Joyce in TX, who is searching for the perfect wedding present for her grandson and his wife. Although we were very appreciative of all our wedding gifts, several relatives gave us unique picture frames to us in many different sizes. They gave them to us to help us remember the many special times that they knew we would have in our marriage. We still comment on who gave us the gifts, when visitors comment on our family pictures and the beautiful frames.

This is for Pat in South Florida - in the Monday, June 12 newsletter you mentioned the Barbecue Chicken Sandwich Ring with black olives. That sounds so good, will you post it please?

Where in Florida are you? I just moved from North Port (90 miles S. of Tampa 2 years ago and returned to S. Calif.) I miss Florida so much. I loved Capersen and Venice Beaches!!!

For the lady with the ant problem in the house:

There is a product on the market called TERRO Ant Poison. It's for sweet eating ants. It's made by Senoret Chemical Co., Inc. You put a small amount on a piece of wax paper or in a bottle cap and place it where the heaviest amount of ant traffic is. Keep out of areas where it would be accessible to pets or children.

For grease eating ants, add a few drops of cooking oil to the poison and mix well.

For the lady with the problem with ants in the Hummingbird feeder.

My Hummingbird feeder hangs on a Shepherds Crook,

I took a plastic cap off a spray paint can and put 2 holes in it, 1 across from the other near the top. I attached a small length of wire. Attach the wire in the one hole and loop it across to the other side and attach., Run a longer length of wire, Hook into the same holes at the top and let it hang down below the cap.

I hung the shorter loop of wire on my shepherds crook and hung the Hummingbird feeder on the longer loop of wire below the cap. Fill the plastic cap with water. The ants WILL NOT cross the water, but the cap needs to be refilled when the water gets low.

It worked for me......Hope it works for you.
Karen from Wisconsin


in response to Darlene of Indiana's request in June 11th newsletter for a way to keep ants out of hummingbirds feeders. I have the same problem. I just rub cooking oil on the outside of the feeder and it keeps the ants off. you repeat after each filling and cleaning.
Jo from MS


This is for Laurie in Fruitport, MI (and other as well if they have an answer). You said that Hydrogen Peroxide is good for blood stains. Is it safe for sheets as well? Won't the peroxide eat at the threads of the sheets? I have Italian sheets (600 thread count) with small little blood stains and am dying to get them out. I want to use something TNT and safe. I did try the 'use your own salvia' experiment and it did NOT work. I think the salvia only works when the blood stain is fresh, not old.
Any ideas are welcome. Thanks!

Question for Jocelyn in Quebec: On the Sourdough Starter after you take out your 1 cup to keep do you wait until you're ready for more bread or immediately start all over with the day 1-2-3-4 etc? I have a Friendship cake started that I keep and when I need to start the cakes just take enough out to start the 30 day process (I add sugar to my started to keep it going).Is this the same principle?
Also, you say NOT


This hint is for Darline-Lafayette, IN. about ants & hummingbird feeders. When we had our summer home in Ontario I had 3 feeders hung in various places. I put Vick's Vapor Rub on the wire hanging the feeder plus spread it around the holes. This kept the hornets & bees out of the feeder but since the hummingbirds can't smell it didn't affect them. We now live in Naples, FL and we have no hummingbirds here, I do miss them. Muriel-Naples,FL


Nancy, - Gee - I'm like everyone else. . . .looking forward to your news letter. . . . Hope your and your 'best buds' are doing great. This note is in response to Joyce in TX in the 6/11 - page 2 newsletter.
Joyce, If they have not previously 'set up' housekeeping and already acquired all the gadget 'in the world' - - - go thru your kitchen and see the things that you use the most, i.e. can opener, ice pick (this is something no one ever thinks about), favorite size spatula, favorite size cutting board, garlic press, etc. of the gadgets that you use most often in your own kitchen and then go to the store and purchase a waste basket (kitchen size or a smaller one if you know colors) and 'fill 'with the 'most used ', favorite gadgets and cup towels or had towels. (As you know, no kitchen has enought hand or cup towels.) You know, the kind of things you had to go to the store and buy when you first got married. You could also add in dishwasher detergent, liquid detergent, pan scrubber, or even make up a basket with items for the bath, i.e. bath soaps, bubbles (the bride would love this), bath oils, shaving creams, disposable razors, . . just let your imagination have fun. THEN PUT A BIG BOW ON IT. . . . I have done this any number of times and the couple seems to appreciate it.
Aud in TX (too)


Pat in South Florida: I am one of those Pampered Chef representatives who cooks. Simply leave out the olives; one small can of olives will make no difference in the final outcome (although, since I like olives I would find it not nearly as good!). Or perhaps you could add the same amount (about 1/4 c.) of Ranch Style Beans. I'm glad you liked the recipe; I've never made anything from a Pampered Chef cookbook that didn't get raves - I have all the cookbooks, including the older ones. My daughter-in-law wasn't particularly interested in cooking until I started selling Pampered Chef several months ago. She finds the recipes easy and - in her words - not intimidating, so now she's trying new recipes and loving it.

Concerning the hint in Monday's newsletter about the vinegar/water solution on the computer screen: DO NOT use this mixture on a LCD or other non-glass monitor. If the screen moves or "ripples" when you GENTLY touch it with your fingernail, do not use any chemicals on it! You can, however, buy a commercial product that is disposable cloths saturated in a special cleaner for these screens.

Nancy, this is for Phyllis in Phoenix who wrote in the newsletter of the 9th, I believe, that she cannot seem to keep her tile floors from streaking. I clean houses and have run upon that same problem but have found a great solution... I purchased one of those flat mops with the microfiber mopping pads from QVC and I keep a spray bottle with 3/4 alcohol and 1/4 water in my cleaning supplies....I wet the pad, spray the floor with the alcohol solution and mop away....It not only stops the streaks but it dries so fast and is a deodorizer and disinfectant to boot... Do hope this works for you, Phyllis, as it has really done well for me.. I even use the same process on my laminate wood floors with great results. I am never without alcohol and white vinegar in my cleaning supplies as they are both so useful.
Good luck with this hint.

June 11th newsletter : Those apple dumplings will never taste as good as your grandmothers , for sure but try it anyway :)) Jocelyne in Québec
P.S : I'm not sure if it is for Ramona in Ca....

Boiled apple dumplings
6 Apples
1 qt Flour
1 lg Tablespoon butter OR lard
1 ts Salt
2 ts Baking powder; (heaping)
1/2 pt Milk
Cinnamon and sugar

Pare and core apples. Blend butter or lard into flour, add salt and baking powder, mix well. Moisten with milk, using more or less than called for, to make a soft dough, one that will roll nicely without being sticky. Roll to about 1/2-inch thickness and cut into rounds the size of a saucer. Place an apple in the center of each round, filling center with sugar and a little cinnamon. Wrip dough around apple, seal and tie each dumpling in a floured cloth bag. Plunge immediately into boiling water and boil 30 minutes. Serve hot with sugar and cream.

Darlene in Lafayette, Indiana.
To keep ants out of the hummingbird feeder, try putting cooking oil on the cord you are hanging the feeder from. Double faced tape might help too, but you have to change it often. It gets full of ants.
KyLady


For Darlene in Lafayette, IN- 6-11-06
The only way we found to keep ants out of our hummingbird feeders was to GLOB Vaseline on the hanger for several inches. Got a big jar at the dollar store, really globbed it on and that worked for us.
