Liiiiiiiiiiiiiis! My interweb hates your blog for some reason - it won't load up your entries :(

I made your recipe for antipasta squares on Sunday for my DGS first birthay party. People could not get enough of them! I've made them before but for some reason your recipe turned out much better than last time. We're trying the club sandwich version for dinner tonight :-p

Hi Lis

I reckon you should start stalking your mail carrier for your BBM package ANY day now. Can't wait to see what you think of your goodies and to reveal myself.

 

Blogger Lis said ... (9/14/2006 11:24 PM) : 

kucunest.. normally I'm notified when someone comments, but blogger didn't tell me you had - I hope you don't think I was ignoring you! I'm so glad you liked the antipasta squares! Everyone I know who tries them does too =) It's kind of an expensive little appetizer but well worth it! I hope the club sandwich version went as well. Thanks for stopping by! :D

Hi Liz!

WOW! Che Festa! All these recipes look amazing! You and Ivonne did such a great job of hosting this event. I am a fairly new blogger and am so happy to have met you and Ivonne and all the other foodies to share my passion of cooking and baking. Don't know which great recipe to try first when I get back from my trip to Italy.
Ciao..a la prossima...Liliana

Hi Lis,
I love your blog layout.... I've seen many and yours stands out. I'm sorry I can't visit more often but I get hungry and start drooling on my keyboard.Sort of anti-productive:) Cheers - Joe

I see you cooking in the future. You should read a series of 3 books by Michael Ruhlman. "Becoming a Chef", The Soul Of A Chef", and "The Reach Of A Chef. Through the series he talks here and there of different malcontents who are miserable in the business world because either they have never cooked but are meant to, or they have cooked and are denying what they were "BORN" to do. Nice Blog BTW. If you read the aforementioned books however, don't call me for financing of your new restaurant venture! Bon Chanc!;)

I don't even know how I ended up at your site but I am so glad I did! I love your style of writing, the photos, recipes, layout--well, everything. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this; I'm inspired to cook!

I'm tickled you like the blog!

Soo.. whatcha gonna cook? :D

Blogger Unknown said ... (3/30/2008 6:58 PM) : 

Oh, my, where to start? We've made the Mexican lasagna and it was really good. We substituted black beans for the black olives as some here don't care for the olives. Tonight we had one of the boiled dinners with a side of key lime cheesecake pie (the WalMart near us has key limes). It's sort of green so I'm classifying it as a vegetable for tonight--Yay me! Everything was delicious! I was going to make the caramel cake for dessert, but I've decided to secretly make it later as a pillow for myself. I'm not kidding you, I want to lay in that thing!

We'll be making several recipes from your wonderful site over the next few days as some of the kids and grandkids are coming for a week or so. We'll be a bunch of cookin' fools!

Thanks for the inspiration and for taking so much time to make such a beautiful site.

Kathy Van

 

Blogger Lis said ... (3/30/2008 11:17 PM) : 

Kathy - Har! You crack me up! I'm glad you liked the lasagna.. I forgot about it! I must make it again! Sheesh.

Well I hope you have a great week with the kids and grandkids! Stop by anytime. :D

Blogger Unknown said ... (6/26/2008 8:07 PM) : 

Oh, lordy! I've been sitting here trying to catch up on all I've been missing on your site lately. You are so fabulous! I was reading out loud to the rest of the family your review of the movie, The Happening. Unfortnately, they were eating chili and rice at the time and were laughing so hard that now I have a big ol' spewy mess here! Based on your opinion of the fuktuppediness (I'm pretty sure that's a word) of the movie, I think we'll skip it.

Congratulations on being able to make all these fantastic recipes and still lose weight. Whatever you are losing is jumping over here and sticking on me--Eeek!

I think you should take everything from this site and put it into book form--it's that good!

Kathy V

 

Blogger Lis said ... (6/26/2008 9:36 PM) : 

Kathy, you are a riot and you sure know how to make me feel special - thank you! :)

Please send my apologies to those who lost their chili tonight. heee!

Fuktuppediness is most definitely a word and one I will use often from now on! HAR!

Hope you are enjoying your summer so far! Always so nice to hear from you, sweets!

Hugs!

Hi Lis! I love your blog. Just wondering...do you have an apple butter recipe? It's October and I'm jonesing for some apple butter! Preferably crock-pot apple butter.

 

Blogger Lis said ... (10/09/2008 5:21 AM) : 

Hi everyone from Blogger.. thanks so much for your compliments! :)

Anon- I do not have an apple butter recipe, but my go-to recipe site, Recipezaar, has a 5 star crock-pot apple butter recipe that looks REALLY GOOD. You can see it HERE - hope that helps!

I just came across your site while searching for pepper steak, and woooow - you've got some GOOD stuff on here! I'll definitely be revisiting and trying out some of your recipes in the near future!

And it just happens to be that we're neighbors. Sounds like you must live up in Cleve/Lakewood, while I'm down in Rootstown (that's near Ravenna/Kent/Akron). Hope you're all set for the beautiful weather we're supposed to have this weekend!

 

Blogger Lis said ... (10/12/2008 8:57 AM) : 

Hi Jeph! Yep.. am up closer to Cleveland - and I have all my windows open this weekend - WOO HOOO! hehee

Thanks so much for stopping and let me know how that cake turned out! xoxo

hey! i love your blog...trying to start my own to organize my own meal ideas that i come up with...but I need help! I was wondering if you could please message me with how you got such a nice, organized recipe index! It would make life a lot easier....thanks!

 

Blogger Lis said ... (5/26/2009 1:27 PM) : 

Hi Sugarholic!

Unfortunately, that recipe index is so out of date, it's not even funny.

But basically all I did was go back to my first post and write down each recipe name.. then I sorted them by category and typed them all out. I do not recommend this if you have lots of recipes. Blogger now makes organizing your recipes pretty easy by allowing categories. I'd look to Blogger for some stuff to read about widgets and categories/labels. I've still got a really old edition of Blogger or I would have done the same thing long ago. hehe!

Thanks so much for writing! :)

Are you missing the snow? Gah.

Blogger Jeph said ... (2/19/2010 3:58 PM) : 

Ha! "Originally from Kent OH" - that's where I work, and I just live a short drive out in Rootstown, and BOOOOY did you miss some snow the last two weeks! It's only really just started thawing today since we got above 40 for a short bit and the sun has been out in full force.

 

Blogger Lis said ... (2/19/2010 4:03 PM) : 

Yeah I hear you guys south of us have gotten hit pretty badly. I'm going to jinx us up here by saying this, but so far, we haven't really gotten all that much - I think the most at one time has been around 5 inches?? Which is just a dusting. ;) But I know living on the lake isn't going to get me out of a huge dump one day soon, I'm sure. Gah.

Stay warm down there, Jeph! :)

Blogger Jeph said ... (2/19/2010 4:09 PM) : 

Usually it's you folks up on the lake getting all the lake effect snow, while here in this area we have most of the storms split around us or just fizzle out. I've been LOVING all the snow coming up from down south this year...

Lis: Greetings from Aguascalientes, MX. Really enjoy your style and attitude. Bravo.
Any suggestions where I can find a solution to storing ~70 spices. I've got shelves but can't see em all even with tiers. Ready mades are overpriced and take up too much room. I wish I could find something compact (like the Spice Island display rack at the store) or something that would just show the bottle tops (that I'd label).

Hi Lis, I just came across your blog searching for a marinade for london boil. I have never cooked a london boil, but always open to new adventures. PS I have friend who grew up in Mentor and now lives in Southeast Ohio. Can not wait to try this new recipe.

Hi Regina! I hope you like it! You'll let me know, yes?

I've been in Mentor for about 10 years now.. grew up further east. It's a nice lil city.. not too big and not too small. :)

Thanks for writing!

Hi Lis,
I just finished hunting a gazillion sites trying to find your post again. London Broil was so cheap a while back that my dad bought way more than he and my mom could eat in any reasonable time. He offered to give me two trays, and although I've never bought/cooked this cut of beef, I was happy to accept his gift.
I hunted like crazy that time for information on how to best cook, prepare, cut it, etc. I did this on a computer that was not hooked to a printer, and when I saw your note and recipe, I wrote it down on a piece of paper.

I tried it and my husband and daughter really, really enjoyed it and I enjoyed how easy your recipe is!

I'm going to print it out this time so I never have to hunt again!

Thanks so much,
Wanda in Hawaii

 

Blogger Lis said ... (8/20/2011 10:06 AM) : 

Hi Wanda! I'm glad you found me again! And just tickled to death that you & your family enjoy the London broil marinade recipe so much! :) Thank you SO MUCH for letting me know.. you've put a big smile on my face this morning :D
