I just needed a larger, deeper pan for more layers.<br /><br />I guess you are right with my bad choice of words, but she never uses these appliances. I also have a manual cappuccino maker and a burr grinder and I only use this once a year during Christmas. Baking was my hobby and these were the tools I used, but there is no segregation of "mine or yours", they are there for anyone to use.<br /><br />I'll have to search for OUR older recipes which I altered for use with OUR Cuisinart, to allow for the making of simple lemon cakes in one mixing bowl.

Also we don't need all those extra calories. The intention was not to make lasagne, I was going to just make spaghetti with meat sauce, but then I noticed at the last moment we had left over, unused lasagne noodles in the fridge so I changed my plan.<br /><br />Most often we don't follow recipes. We just look at our "on hand" ingredients and go from there. We are not fussy eaters and when we shop we buy by price and what is on sale.

Get a block, freeze it and when it thaws, it crumbles. The texture is completely different and is very similar to ground meat.

Fifteen years ago when we had to put on a new roof we had vents added as the "code" calls for the gas stove to be vented directly outside. When we bought our home the first thing we did was to get rid of the Oil furnace and put in a gas one, along with a gas hot water heater. We also installed a gas fireplace insert. So all these years we were set up for the gas but never bought a new stove, that is until our old 1941 Moffat electic packed it in, then the search was on for which one. We are very happy with it. Instant heat and instant off, very good for cooking.<br /><br />We've had it for a few months now, so techinically not new but we only made our first roast in it for Cdn Thanksgiving.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-2647472955492124802012-10-30T08:05:23.151-07:002012-10-30T08:05:23.151-07:00Ms M:
