Oy!

"Fresh is best" both in acquisition and preparation of the food. Though
i am a fan of mis en place (sp?) and prepping of foods before cooking
them, certainly i would not cut or or otherwise "prep" foods 24 hours in
advance of cooking them.

And boil it bag and all? that is after you have managed to get a liquid
poured into a plastic bag and effectively sealed.

I cringed at that one too. I don't mind making stock in advance, but
I will not prepare vegetables so far ahead.

I just used baggies on Friday (because I didn't have big enough lidded
containers) to send some stock I'd made home with the kids

Those who need cooking tips from people like Paula Deen should stick to
preparing cold cereal.

I think I'll try the cookie baking tip if I remember it the next time
I make cookies, because Paula knows her sweets. I used her totally
kick-ass recipe for cinnamon rolls and only changed it slightly (less
filling, less frosting) - it's the stuff sweet dreams are made of...
soooo good.

When I saw the name Paula Deen it had the kiss of death as far as I'm
concerned.

I suppose 'any port in a storm', what's the old joke about people so
poor they have rubber pockets so they can steal soup?

I have more clean glass jars with lids than i will ever use. QUite a
cache of very nice tall narrow instant tea jars, labels washed off they
make very good storage units.
