Was that your idea?<br /><br />I do remember Dad's fondness for horseradish. I was bummed, because the same book where I got that quote said that people with hypothyroidism shouldn't eat horseradish. Well hell!Freethehumanbeingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00413434884108842434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-986819666451615261.post-22473883180073080732010-08-25T15:04:57.244-05:002010-08-25T15:04:57.244-05:00pps....once, when i was prez of pta at the middle ...pps....once, when i was prez of pta at the middle school (boy, was that a mistake,,but i digress) we did a "stay at home" fundraiser. yep...we'll let you stay at home,not deal with any sales crap, just send a check. worked great!!suzanne, former pta prez, for a new york minutenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-986819666451615261.post-21923910963491626812010-08-25T14:17:48.322-05:002010-08-25T14:17:48.322-05:00p.s....just read your line about horseradish. rem...p.s....just read your line about horseradish. remember how dad loved it? he was ahead of his time...or a fish out of water in western kansas, not sure which.suzannenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-986819666451615261.post-52703677447972437032010-08-25T14:16:16.914-05:002010-08-25T14:16:16.914-05:00maybe you could just use big fat green onions inst...maybe you could just use big fat green onions instead? but...anything with heavy cream sounds yummy! it's good to cultivate your daughter's interest in cooking. maybe she will be taking over the dinner prep chores soon!suzannenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-986819666451615261.post-24473258641113545322010-08-25T09:30:24.013-05:002010-08-25T09:30:24.013-05:00Yeah, Lilah washed the leeks first and got all the...Yeah, Lilah washed the leeks first and got all the dirt out. Leeks ARE labor intensive. I read that in France leeks are very inexpensive and people cook with them all the time. It took us a good hour to deal with those leeks!<br /><br />I will try that candle trick, by god. I agree that cutting onions with eyes closed isn't such a hot idea. It always ends badly for me.Freethehumanbeingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00413434884108842434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-986819666451615261.post-58291965036715021872010-08-25T08:48:13.792-05:002010-08-25T08:48:13.792-05:00first off, i applaud you for being able to spell &...first off, i applaud you for being able to spell "vishy-shwosh." second, did you soak the leeks or whatever u are supposed to do to get dirt out of them? this is why i avoid leeks - too labor intensive. and third, i saw a thing on food network that it is a gas emitted by the onion that makes you cry and if you cut them next to a lighted candle it will help. i have tried it and it seems to work better than just not breathing through my nose, humming while hopping on one foot, or cutting them with my eyes closed, which can be tricky. <br /><br />what's next for you - - borscht?LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04518669534607195201noreply@blogger.com
