I break the yolk every time I try the eggshell trick (BH does that), so I gave up and just use my hands--lol.
plus there's more flavour that way! :laugh: (kidding)

I was making something called Raisin squares where you put raisins in hot water to plump them up.

While I was stirring them, my MIL (who was visiting) at the time asked if I didn't wash all my raisins before putting them in recipes (or something silly like that).

I think she wanted me to pour off the water and change it :umm:

I told her no - "That's where all the flavour comes from!"

This one made me laugh. It should read, "How to easily shread chicken but increase the amount of things you have to wash later by 80%!"

I have one of these Kitchen Aid Mixmasters - I should use it more but like you said - it seems a chore to clean the parts and the bowl.

Maybe I should find some recipes for it - they are always using them on cooking shows! (they probably hire people to clean up after them :blush::snicker:)

For lunch dessert - Chicken Margherita steam bowl for lunch, and I went looking for something sweet - looky what I found in the Choir Room. Chocolate and rum for lunch dessert. Why didn't I think of that? I'm going to need a cup of coffee though. I think it might take 12 balls to equal a shot of rum, but ...OK.

So let me get this straight? You are having Margaritas for lunch and rum for dessert? Sounds like a plan, girl!

Note: may not contain actual rum - you just reminded me - we have these little chocolate bottles full of liquer - Jack Daniels, Cointreau, Smirnoff etc. (hmmmmm...)

Oh baby - these contained something. Tasted like rum. I bit them in two and then had little tiny sips of alcohol. It was fun. The thought of Chicken Margaritas cracks me up. I tried to find a funny image, but there's none. I'm imagining Danie's shredded chicken up there, with some tequila, lime, salt on the rim. You know, it might actually work if it was a soup. Like Chicken Tortilla Soup Margarita - a little Queso Fresco.

le sigh, I've gone and gotten tipsy at work....

Yes, we do have all the fun. At lunch time anyway. When there's alcohol and no boss in sight.

I use mine for everything that requires a mixer; y'know, pies, cakes, cookie dough, meatloaf (hate putting my hands in that cold meat). Plus, it's good for some MJ tunes.
