i love this thread. and ADPi UCF, I love YOU for starting this thread.


And the goggles onion thing. I saw that on Saved by the Bell. I tried it a few times when I lived at the house, but my goggles kept getting foggy. I tried the spit in the goggles technique, and it still gets foggy.


Ok here is one of my recipes. I like to bake, don't call me Sandra Lee droopy tits or anything alright? I will cut you.

I call this, the "Fountain Cake"




Get whatever chocolate cake mix you can find.

add one less egg than what the cake mix tells you
add 2 cups of whipped cream
1 stick of margerine
1 bag of chocolate chips


bake if 45 minutes at 375 degress.

Eat it and love it

i have heard that you can place a cracker(saltine, ritz) or a piece of bread in your mouth and hold it on your tongue while you chop up your onion. i, however, do just what southern grace does, and buy vidalia, or the like, and rarely have a problem.

my meat loaf recipe:

2 lbs. ground chuck
1 vidalia onion , finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
ketchup, about 1 cup
heinz 57 sauce, about 1/2 cup
worchestershire sauce, about 1/2 cup
garlic powder, to taste
1 cup progresso italian bread crumbs

add all ingredients into a large bowl. mix well(i use my hands). shape into a loaf and place on rack of broiler pan . spread more ketchup on top of meatloaf. cook at 350 degrees for 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours. let cool for approximately 10 minutes before slicing.

I've tried your easy mac recipe.... Not bad actually. It's also good if you cut up some smoked sausage and mix it in.

I'm the queen of chicken wings, I made these for my boyfriend once and he loved them so much that I ended up having to make them for his whole chapter for dinner. Here's the recipe:

10 tbsp. soy sauce
1 small can of pineapple juice
1/2 brown sugar
2 cloves minced garlic
dash of ginger
a few drops of tabasco or other hot sauce
2 lbs. wings cut in half or wingettes

Boil all of the ingredients except the wings together to make the marinade. Put the wings in a large bowl and pour marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours. Bake ar 350 turning them and basting them constantly.

Run cold water while you're cutting onion up and cut it near the sink.

OK so I tried this. First of all, onions get slippery when wet. I don't see how that's a good idea when I've got a scary German knife in my hand. Second of all, how do you keep the onion pieces from not floating away? If it's under a stream of water, it gets carried off (or it did for me). And lastly, how can you make smaller cuts under water? You guys must be awesome at cutting because I can't chop like that unless it's on a board on the counter.

--Plus if it's cold water my fingers will hurt

You're supposed to cut them NEAR the sink silly boy, not IN the sink. Keeping them cold for a long time before cutting definitely helps, that's how I prevent the tears.

I am SOOOOO confused.

I mean I cut them on a counter and there is a sink nearby. You're saying to cut it on the counter but leave the sink running? For the life of me I can't think how this would work and I want to go all Bill Nye the science guy on it but i don't want to be domestic tonight.

You know the end of the onion that has all the veins attached? Keep that part uncut. Cut from the other end, and it supposedly keeps the oils that burn your eyes from being released.

Anyone have a fool-proof fudge recipe? I can mess up microwave fudge. I tried all year to learn to make it so that I would be able to make some for Christmas, all to no avail. I really want to be able to bring some this year. I have about 11 1/2 months to get it right.











Now stop laughing at me.

Sweet & Sour Meat Loaf

15 oz. can of tomato sauce
1.5 lbs. ground beef
1 cup bread crumbs
2 tablespoons vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2 eggs (beaten)
1 teaspoon minced onion
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons mustard

Mix together the ground beef, 1/2 can of the tomato sauce, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, eggs, and onion. Form a loaf and bake for 45-50 minutes at 350 (or until done -- my oven is on steroids so it only takes like half an hour). Mix together the other 1/2 of the tomato sauce, vinegar, sugar, brown sugar and mustard. Pour mixture on top of baked meat loaf and bake for 5-10 minutes.

Oh, does that sound GOOD!! I'm thinking meat loaf this weekend...!

MTSUGURL (and everyone else) - I'm going to pick up my recipe file tomorrow, and I have some really good ones!

For fudge, I've always microwaved a can of Pet milk (sweetened) & chocolate chips until the chips melt. Take it out of the microwave, put a dash of vanilla in it and whip it like crazy! Turn it out into a buttered square cake pan, and smooth the top. Let it cool for at least a half hour. If you want nuts, add about a cup towards the end of the whipping.

My meatloaf recipe is pretty simple.. but again, I don't really use measurements, so I'll try here...

Whip together with a whisk:
1 egg
about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of worcestershire sauce
half an onion

Add enough Progresso Italian bread crumbs to soak up the liquids
Add about 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese

Mix 2 pounds of ground beef in with the above mixture. Bake at 350 for an hour in a loaf pan. Ketchup on top while baking is optional (my kids prefer it without ketchup).

Rudey: These Southern folk are telling you to use Vidalia onions but you'll only find them up north in summer. Try Yellow Texas Sweet Onions (available all year in Detroit, should be in Chicago too) and, as Jill said, cut them when they're cold. Don't get your face too close to the chopping board. You'll be ok.

ETA: It took me three years to perfect our family fudge recipe, so it's far from fool proof..
