Comment on Time For Thanksgivings Menus

Hi Hella, I was looking forward to your talk this morning in South St. Paul but because of the weather I decided not to chance it. Please let me know if you have another talk. I've been wanting to do our family cookbook for years and just didn't know how to start. Sounds like you have some great ideas.

Comment on "Deliveryman"

When I put the comment on yesterday I missed that they were doing this for individual luggage also. AND it was not only tomatoes but peppers too. The bug is called tomato leafminer. Commercial shipments must be accompanied by a certificate.

What makes this story funnier is that Canada will not allow any of our tomatoes in...not because they have too many which might be true but some fungus in on the tomatoes that might hurt the industry. Just posted on Bon Appetite are more recipes that use tomatoes...try not cooking during this hot spell and just slice some tomatoes with chives and dressing. Doesn't get better than this...or toss in some cooked noodles with cheese and basil.

You better have saved me a jar or two! I really love the taste of homemade strawberry jam!

I made strawberry jam this weekend. My house, my hands, and my hair smelt of strawberries for a couple days.

It was wonderful:)

Comment on An Award Winning Chicken Soup

Hella — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 18:54:26 GMT

Just wondering how long I have to cook my mothers chicken soup before I can call it my chicken soup? I never had Lauren's mother's soup but I have eaten Lauren's chicken soup a lot. I need to ask her if it is her mother's recipe or one she discovered somewhere else...

Comment on My Recipe to Stay Warm is Create a Traditional Family Soup Cookbook

I was asked off line about what the difference there was between Martha's recipe and my mother's recipe. There was very little except my mother swears using a pullet makes all the difference in the taste of the broth. And Martha did not cook her soup as long as my mother.I will try in Martha's way and let you know if I can tell the difference. AND lastly, NY Times this morning reported that chicken soup does help with the common cold. Another time my mother was right!

Yesterday I received Martha Stewart Living and she does a bang up job on soups.Here is a woman after my mother's heart. She starts with the basic chicken soup and then adds from there: Columbian Chicken soup,Spicy Indian Chicken soup, Thai Chicken soup and the fest del reisonce is the Hearty Winter Vegetable soup, a soup I would be proud to serve. If you want any of these recipes you can go on line in a few days to capture them. I am not sure how long after they appear in the magazine they appear. FYI my Bon newsletter came (comes twice a month) and lots of good stuff there. ??? Maybe an electronic cookbook to all these great websites may make sense. Just wondering what you think!!!???

Comment on New Recipes for Leftovers

Hella — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 20:04:55 GMT

Ooops..read in the newspaper today in the Fixit column that left overs should be thrown out after two days. Left overs should not be in a freezer for more that a month. I guess I got my answer on what to do with all my left overs. I now have to schedule some time to clean my freezer too. It will be very empty soon!
