I bought some brownie mix last night and when I got home I discovered I didn't have any eggs or oil, so I tried the mayonnaise thing and man these brownies are delicious.

Also I am about to eat some Jimmy Johns. <3 sammiches.

Glad I could help...

Hannah , you should have posted a pic to see how it turned out.

Ooh... nice little thread you have going.

I have a tradition where every spring I go out and pick a bag full of stinging nettle to make soup... As the name implies, if you touch this stuff or brush against it with bare skin, it's gonna get you - the sting can last for several hours. However, if you Boil the young plants, it's like eating spinach but better. It's loaded with Iron, Vitamins,cleans your blood and it's good for a lot of medical problems. It also has the highest amount of protein you can get in a plant.



The recipe I use has Onions, potatoes, chicken stock, nutmeg (that underutilized spice!), and once It's all run through the blender with the nettle, you add some heavy cream at the end. It turns a beautiful soft green...

Wow Machi ,I've never heard of such a thing , pretty interesting , I guess that it gives weed's a purpose , but I guess you really have to know how to pick them to do this properly, great idea/ recipe , thanks

[Hannah]

holy cow! that's freaky. what makes it not sting anymore? is there a chance you could **** it up and it would make your mouth bleed? i'm so nervous.

i'm eating baby swiss cheese right now and i don't really know what the difference between that and papa swiss cheese is. tastes like paper though.

The little ones wrapped in red or yellow wax?

[BubblyShell22]

Wow, Machi, that sounds awesome. Man, I wish I could have some Jimmy John's. I just had a Hershey's Sundae Pie from Burger King. Mom stopped there on her way home from church. It really helped my headache though. Now I feel better.

Nah, nothing to worry about.. Once you boil it, you dissolved the little pokey needles that sting you.

And Zkarlette, all you need are some gloves and make sure you don't kneel in it by mistake!

Here's a little tip for spaghetti sauce: Never add vanilla extract.

[Jester]

I'm sorry, but that idea NEVER crossed my mind. Why would you do that?

We didn't have brown sugar so I just added just a couple drops, which is why I don't cook.

[Jester]

You were gonna add brown sugar to spaghetti? Are you Buddy the Elf?

EDIT: Googled it and I'll be dipped if there aren't pages and pages of spaghetti sauce recipes that call for it. Color me crazy.

Anyone notice that old sandwich meat kinda smells like beer?
