 I have been placed in charge of the V-day banquet for our church. I am looking for some ideas on what I could do to get into the theme of things, especially desserts. Has anyone ever done anything like this before? I am expecting approximately 100 attendees. I appreciate any advice or recipes!

I have a great guy too, but he cooks and I

Yum, gourmet food.

Why don't you appreciate the fact that he cooks???
I mean, seriously. You said, "he messed up my good cake pain?" What the he**? My husband doesn't even know here our dam cake pan is. Quit complaining, pull your big girl panties up and either leave or stand up for yourself! Sitting in another room crying? Don't give him that much power. He sounds just as mad as you are. I bet it's not all his fault. I've been married a long time. When one person acts like that they are mad at the other person. Talk to him. Don't whine and complain. Be proactive and leave if it's that bad, although he rented a room to be with you so it can't be that bad.
Ok great cooks..need help with baked mac-n-chs!
We all love homemade baked mac-n-cheese. However, I'm not doing something right. I need your help! I made one over the weekend and it was not bad, it was just really bland. The only thing that really had any flavor was the cheese topping LOL I am using the basic ingredients; noodles, milk, eggs, cheese, salt & pepper. I am obviously lacking in the "flavor" department. So who has a great TASTY baked mac-n-cheese recipe?? Thanks!
I am more than lucky, mine is gourmet
cook and can hardly find anything out that even starts to compare with his. He tells me I can do, yeh, right, and be embarrased. I don’t think so. He knows what herbs and spices to mix with what foods and always such a treat!
Ok southern cooks..anyone remember K&W's...
7-layer salad? I used to spend my summers with my grandparents in NC and we never went to a K&W cafeteria that I did not get my fair share of that 7-layer salad. Loved it! I wanna make a good batch of it for the 4th...now I have looked online at several sites and the recipes are out there..but vary slightly by cook's taste I'm sure. Have any of you ever made it and came pretty darn close to K&W's? I'm seeing them either call for regular mayo and some sugar or Miracle Whip...or even several specified Hellman's. Just wanting to know anyone who knows that K&W I'm looking for and which combination of ingredients might be the best to use to get it. Thanks everyone and hope you all enjoy a great 4th!
I also think my Crock Pot cooks a little hotter
Still, I love it, and have since had some success with it.
No fatback in the greens, my gourmet husband does it like this
He uses ham hocks in the greens BUT this is the differnce. Once the greens start to tenderize he pours all the liquid off the greens, put the liquid in the freezer and the fat rises to the top, skims that completely off, re-adds the liquid to the pot and his greens out outta this world, probably the best I have ever had and yes, years ago I did eat greens with the usual, when I was a child and did not know better. As an adult and trying to not risk my health, we never ever have fried anything. If you ate any of his food you would want to throw rocks at the restaurants out there. I thank my lucky stars to have the best tasting food there is (and healthy also). We do not even have lard, Crisco or anything similar in our kitchen.
Remember that it's just home cooking, not gourmet stuff, that you'd be waiting for. nm
