COOKING: In throwing in the ingredients for Carrot Butternut Squash Soup in the crockpot, I made a huge mistake - I added the milk at the beginning.   I also used bison broth and a little curry instead of the paprika because I apparently keep forgetting to buy more.  No money outlay this time, as the squash came from the food bank and the rest I ( Read more... )

Since I can no longer tolerate corn (tho trace amounts like corn syrup seem to be fine), I can no longer make my traditional Christmas Crunch Krispies.  So I hunted down Holiday Colors Rice Krispies instead, and a bag o' tiny marshmallows (literally took hours, as usual).  I find they melt faster...which was almost detrimental this time as I took a ( Read more... )
