PIF group lounge

[classwife]

Seriously ?

What has happened in here ?

PIF is a community - a Social Group...looking like it's just a pass through these days


Has the spirit of what PIF is died ?

 

[beebopnjazz]

Lots of pass throughs classy

The deals and steals and contest threads get activity, as do the small item and juice swaps threads.

Now that gear is easier to purchase, and much cheaper than say, 4 years ago, the PIF threads don't move much....

The most social threads are the still smoking thread and the answer is a question thread.....

It's sad, but it's not dead. Our emergency needs are met quickly still. Many of our warm and fuzzy people have flown the coup - some became vendors.....others are more active in their favorite vendor social area......and some left because some of the "not so nice" people hung out here too. It could be pretty brutal 4 years ago in here; I'm sure you remember.

Haven't had a contest in a while.......it brings people in....most don't stay....

I have this thread in my subscriptions so I can see anytime there's a new post. Whenever I post in here it seems I'm talking to myself, which isn't much fun, so I look elsewhere. It's a shame really, since there are so many nice people out there......somewhere.

Waves at Jazz and thayamax


Trying to think of what to do for dinner here tonight

 

[Thayamax]

*waves back*

I don't have to worry about that since I'm at work.

 

[classwife]

Well...a few dinners later...I have chicken cooking toinght

 

[beebopnjazz]

Have you tried the Helman's parmesan chicken recipe? It's yummy

 

[classwife]

I have not...I'll look it up...assuming you can't "taste the mayo" tho?








(yech !)

 

[Prism]

Jazz is right it is good. John likes it and he is a picky eater, wants his meat to taste like meat. You can't taste the Mayo

 

[beebopnjazz]

Nope, no mayo taste. It's moist too. Lox isn't a big chicken eater...and he likes it.

 

[classwife]

I looked it up, looks pretty simple, looks good too !
Thank you ! I will give it a shot on the next round of chicken breasts !


DH already gone to bed...I wanted a sweet - I only had unflavored yogurt in the fridge.


Welll DUH !!!!!!!!!!!!!



Dug out the butterscotch flavoring - yep - I DIY'd my yogurt !!

 

[beebopnjazz]

Wow! PIF is slow today!

 

[classwife]

I think they are hung over from the Super Full Moon !

 

[twgbonehead]

With chicken or turkey, slurping mayo on them before roasting is a great choice!

Another thing I picked up is brining; with chicken, let it soak in very salty cold water for a while (depends on the size of the pieces you're working with; 12 hours is good for a whole chicken). But, whatever time you have. Really helps to keep the meat juicy (and doesn't make it extra-salty!)

Most turkeys come already brined unless they're fresh.

 

[classwife]

Nice !

I have been pickling a lot of snack type things lately...

Carrots, cucumbers, cauliflower...

My favorite to munch on is the fresh ginger...tho I do add honey and cinnamon after it has sat in the vinegar a few days.

 

[twgbonehead]

I often do a quick-pickle of cukes (vinegar+sugar). Also have pickled eggs a couple of times.

My favorite is a "7-day salad". A bunch of different kinds of beans, chopped onion, and optionally corn, cauliflower, etc. (Kind of hard to get the cauliflower cut the right size, though). Add vinegar+sugar, a little oil, a bit of water, and a healthy dose of MSG. Leave in the fridge for at least a week.

 

[classwife]

That sounds good !

I think I would use honey instead of sugar for myself tho...and no MSG. (makes my hands swell)

 

[classwife]

Ok, I didn't have Hellmans so I used Miracle Whip for the chicken...yeppers ! It was goooood !!
Thank you !!
