I have acid. I also like the soft green. Thanks Dennis! As pretty as blue is, it is a depressing color. I am prone to depression, so I try to put other colors up as much as possible. Green is soothing, yellow is energizing. There are a lot of other colors with clear effects on humans. Did you know that even blind children react to color the same as sighted children? It really freaked the researchers out when they saw that!
Oh– by the way– I originally posted the spread here because there was already one in this section. I figured it would have some company!
Wow! That sounds great! I collect recipes! Lucky, you already have my address. Go ahead and send them. I would really appreciate it. If I ever get my mess cleaned up and organized, I’ll send you some of my collection.
I figure that a single recipe could legitimately be placed in, say, three categories without anyone being offended. It makes it easier to find. More than that seems a bit overdone, but I have seen it done successfully. I will only do that with recipes I think are really worth finding, though! Some of them (like my “simple green beans”) are just too simple to be worth scattering all over the board. I’m also more likely to duplicate a recipe that someone has said they like than one that nobody comments on, but I don’t think I’m the least bit unusual there.
That really sounds good! I am going to have to try it the next time I have friends over for whatever happens to emerge from my deep fryer.
No, I guess you didn’t. I thought I’d seen it there, but I was mistaken. I’ll add it in there myself. It doesn’t hurt to have a few recipes up in different sections.

I think it could go in either one. I just happened to put it here. I think you already tranferred it from the old board into the condiments section, though. I’ll just leave your transfer up instead.
You can resize any picture with photo editing software. If you can’t figure out how, let us know and we’ll see if we can help. I have Adobe Photoshop LE (very limited edition– came with my scanner) but most will allow you to change the size. Do you have a program for photo editing? If so, which one is it? One of us may have the same program or have used it.

Thank you, that was so sweet of you! I really do prefer to look at men! I guess I’m just strange that way.
I have had many people tell me that the cornstarch-based white sauce is the only kind they’ve ever had. Although I understand that everyone has their preferences, be aware that cornstarch-based white sauce is an imitation, not the original. I think of it as “diet white sauce” because it is so much lower in fat and calories than the classic roux-based version. It is also, unfortunately, much lower in flavor and complexity. If you’ve never had the real thing, give it a try! You will be pleasantly surprised.
If, on the other hand, you have good reason to cut the fat and/or calories in your diet then the cornstarch-based sauce is ideal for you. You will just have to season it more to cover the blander flavor. The recipe is standard on the sides of boxes of cornstarch, if you need it.

I have no idea how you came to believe that there was any personal attack here. I am also an experienced cook and my advice came directly out of many cookbooks as well. There’s no need to be upset. I know my method works– it has never failed yet. That is why I posted it. I have no objection to you posting another method, but you are not any more right than anyone else, so lets not argue about it, okay?
By the way, I would appreciate other people posting under the threads I set up for gravy and turkey– Thankgiving is approaching.
