I'm getting ready to make a boxed cake mix, but I'm out of veggie oil
Posted By: Cooking Question on 2009-06-03
In Reply to:
Can I substitute melted margarine for the oil? I don't have any applesauce. I do have some Miracle Whip, but wasn't sure about it. I don't want to go to the grocery store. I'm at home alone, kids are gone, I'm working and feeling pretty productive, and then BAM the PMS chocolate attack strikes and and me without a Hershey bar in sight! So I thought I would whip up a devil's food cake mix and get back to work.

1 can pie filling
1 can crushed pineapple
1 yellow cake mix (dry)
1 cup chopped nuts
2 sticks butter, melted
Spread pie filling in 11/13 pan. Pour pineapple on top and spread. Take dry cake mix and spread over pineapple. Top with nuts and coconut if desired. Pour 2 sticks melted butter on top of all of this. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
This is scrumptious.
Does anyone make a fruit cake for holiday giving or are you blessed

A great veggie dip...
1 can Red Gold Petite Mexican Fiesta Tomatoes (drained)
1 16-oz. sour cream
1 pkg. Knorr Spring Vegetable soup mix (dry)
Mix all together and chill.
Good with chips, veggies, and even to dip those wings!
For anyone new at veggie gardening,
let me just say that tomatoes are the trickiest to grow. I believe cherry tomatoes are easier than the big kind.
Green beans: If you have heard of pole beans and bush beans and wondered what the difference is, it's not be beans but the growth habit. Bush beans grow lower to the ground and pole beans climb up something. Pole beans are nice if you don't want to have to bend over as much during harvesting. For the lazy gardener, you can even let pole beans grow up corn you are growing in the same space.
I learned these tips from watching Paul James' show, Gardening by the Yard.
Veggie burgers
Boca veggie burgers are really delicious spread with a little pesto sauce, topped with tomato slices and red onion. Also you can try Googling Bethenny Frankel - I believe she has some great vegetarian recipes that are quick and easy.
Ham, baked potatoes, veggie.

I may try a veggie garden this year too.
in the past i have not had time to keep up with one but i think i will this year while working at home for MQ. maybe you have tried everything for your garden eaters, don't know but I have heard you can sprinkle black pepper all over the garden and it will keep a lot of animals out bc they do not like the smell. you have to reapply with rain but it might be worth a try.
i normally have flowers galore! but i may do some veggies this year as you said they are getting SO expensive in the stores. i have had great luck with barrel gardens in the past and they look really nice on a patio.
set out a premade veggie tray with dip, can buy
in almost any grocery store already made up. Want something fancy, take it out of the plastic container and put it on your own tray. This should satisfy most everyone. Most all kids will even eat carrot sticks.
I have a big canner of veggie soup cooking
and it smells yummy. Tonight is a parade in town and dinner at my parent's. Not sure about tomorrow. Church and then who knows. I have 2 movies to watch from Netflix and a newsletter to get ready to mail.
All veggie sushi w/the pickled ginger. My #2 fave! nm

I put the egg and cheese in a whole wheat or veggie wrap with some cooked spinach

Green bean casserole - need a soft veggie dish!
Don't know about cats. What about adding mayo or plain veggie oil to their food? Or butter? nm

well, I'm all ready!
slow with work today so went and stocked up on milk, drinking water, batteries and candles. Going to type for one more hour and then going to finish the laundry and cook up a bunch of stuff just in case we do lose our electric. We usually do when there is an ice storm. Did someone say there is another storm coming Sunday? Haven't heard about that one yet. Wonder if it will hit Ohio too. I need my electric! I need to work!
Only when you are ready
It might be too soon for you to wear them, but you don't know how you might feel in the future. If it feels weird right now, put them away for awhile. In a year (or 2, or maybe never) you may want to wear them, but I don't think now is the time to make a decision either way.
Ready, set, go
Have short trip to Las Vegas with husband and then my own trips will be to Canada (Rockie Mountains, western part) for about 10 days, Washington, D.C. for a week and perhaps a gambling trip to Foxwoods & Newport but that is an iffy one.
I saw that too. He had that look like when he's about ready to BUST

Looks like you are ready to party.
I'll be right over. LOL Have a nice weekend. Plan on having a couple of cocktails myself. It has been a long week.
Let's get ready to..........transcribe! lol

Ready for round 2... sm
I have been seriously considering having it done a second time, which my doc had said might happen. Periods aren't *that* bad, I just don't want them any longer! ;)
My cousin had it done in the office and the pain was so excruciating, they had to stop the procedure. Apparently the machine was on trial, and they have since decided not to perform in-office procedures. Fortunately, she hasn't had a period since.
I highly recommend having it done. Best of luck to you.
Thank you. Will just wait until they are ready. nm

Christmas, not ready!
I can't believe I spent some of my grocery money to get a Christmas tree when I have nothing to put under it, duh. Heck, I didn't change my calendar from November to December until December 12th. Now I realize it is less than 10 days until Christmas. Maybe I can go to the Dollar Store, lol I guess there are a lot of people not ready money wise or mood wise this year, right? Even watching the news is depressing to me, all the talk about donating and giving when I cannot do either this year. I guess medical transcription is the wrong profession for me since I cannot make any more money than I could at a fast food place, lol, but I cannot figure out what to change it to. Thanks for listening. 
Wow, you are always ready to defend
your lack of self-control. If you have to use a credit card you CAN'T afford it. If you have to finance it, other than a house, you CAN'T afford it. When you use a CC you are not using your money, you are using someone else's. Just accept that some have a different opinion than you and you will get a negative reaction from time to time.
I agree. When he's ready, he'll want to do it.

business. Get lost because I'm not ready! nm

Was just about ready to post cat on the beagle
I am former owner of pedigreed female Beagle with the best tri-coloring One has ever seen. I not longer own her, cannot go there at this time. I will try to post my precious Pinkie at this time. If I can't oh well Note: She lives in Hawaii. I am her grandmother. Sorry could not upload her! Tree-Walker Hound she is
Is China ready for the Olympics?
I'm jealous that you have garden food ready now...sm
Good luck keeping the critters out so you can eat it all yourself!
yes, i have to say it did, but my kids were ready too, so i do understand how u feel

I'm always ready to share pics of my dogs..sm
I'm going to be in real trouble when I have grandkids if I'm this crazy over my dogs - I do have two granddogs - Golden Retrievers, but no pictures of them to share at the moment.
to be cheap - I buy ready made blankets
big lots, target, saw them somewhere in an add for 2.50 in yesterday's paper - that does limit your size but I'm making them for no reason - it is very therapeutic for me - just really got into tying those knots - made them for my daughters at Christmas (adults) and now I am thinking it would be good to keep one in cars too, for trips and in case you got stuck and it was cold because they are warm!
I am more tired getting ready for a holiday than if I were to work are you?
I don't know about this "Easter Bunny" business. I have today off and there is not much work anyway, so I decided to get ready for Sunday (I have 3 little kids). All I did so far today was go get my daughter a dress, and my boy an outfit, got all the basket stuff together and put them together. Then, I worked on me, day of beauty stuff, hair, etc. I have not worked today, yet doing these things I am exhausted! And I still have to dust, vacuum, declutter office, and bake a cake. Not to mention clean my sons' bathroom (eewwwww). I am putting all that off until tomorrow. Does anyone else find that although transcribing can lead to fatigue at times that doing chores and getting ready for holidays is more tiring?
Ugggg, calgon take me away.... Happy Spring Holidays everyone!
Are you ready to be brave? Take a deep breath...
Then do it and close your eyes real tight and be glad the minute you have done it (calling to have him picked up for psych eval) Then once you have him out of the house you can keep him out with a court order. Your life will improve. Are you Ready???? Be BRAVE! I was!!!
Amy, your halo is ready anytime you want to pick it up! //

I'm with you. I live in west Michigan. I am more than ready. nm

I'd be interested...email me with site when it's ready!
I love accessories and all that that entails *sigh*
I'm getting ready to buy a fixer upper and do all my decorating and designing myself. SM
So I've been watching him and a lot of the other HGTV design shows, etc. I want to save money, but I want everything too look expensive, ya know?
I loved what he did with the silk too, but problem is I don't sew. I don't even know how to operate a sewing machine, soooooooo anybody wanna make a buck? :)
Night person all the way...Around midnight I'm ready to roll!!! nm

I have on my "Let's get ready to stumble" shirt with leprechaun on it. (sm)
This is one of my favorite holidays. Not a lot of stress and bother to celebrate it like some of the others. Just relax, wear green and sip on a cold green beer later today.
I've been ready for Brooke to go home for weeks!
Never have liked her. She seems fake, her voice is weak, and I hate that little pouty face she makes all the time. No clue why she is still there.
I'm still cheering for David Cook.
I'm ready to stand on the corner in short-shorts. nm.

cake
Pitiful union busters. Wal-Mart offers absolutely no respect to their workers, and obviously no screening that covers use of at least understable exchange of language context and grammar...tsk, tsk.
cake
I hope that the purposeful mistakes in my last post were caught, unlike the cake that the poor lady received.
It is "understandable" and "its" with reference to Wal-Mart.
Thanks for the vent.
We have a turtle. She is a red-eared slider named...are you ready?? Skurtle. sm
Our son named her. She is about 5 years old now. She started out the size of a silver dollar and has progressively increased in tank size. She started in a 5 gallon tank and is now in a 125 gallon breeder's tank. If I had known then what I know now.....LOL. She has a night and day light, she has her basking light, and she has a UV A&B light since turtles to not manufacture calcium themselves. She will eat those little feeder goldfish out of our hands and will eat her normal turtle stick food from our hands too. We have a TON of her plates or whatever it is they call the things on the shell from when she was just little to now from when she sheds them. It is really interesting to watch her just live the life of a turtle. Eat, sleep, poop, and swim.
Carrot cake
If the recipe asked for canned pureeed carrots the canned it should be. I am sure the recipe made allowances for the salt
Wal-mart Cake
Keep in mind this actually really did happen!!!! This is someone who was moving from a claims office.
Okay so this is how I imagine this conversation went:
Walmart Employee: "Hello 'dis Walmart, how can I help you?"
Customer: " I would like to order a cake for a going away party this week."
Walmart Employee: "What you want on the cake?"
Customer: "Best Wishes Suzanne" and underneath that "We will miss you".
Walmart Employee: "Dat all? Okay, Bye."
Cheeseburger cake??
I am having a surprise 40th jimmy buffett theme party for my husband on saturday. Does anyone have any idea how to decorate a cake to make it look like a cheeseburger? what kind of things would i use, i.e, fondant, etc. I have a general idea of yellow/chocolate cake but all I can find online is pictures of a cake but not how to actually construct it.
THanks for your help!
Coffee cake
Has anyone here ever made homemade coffee cake? Would you mind sharing the recipe?
recipe for the cake? nm

Do you have a yellow cake mix?
You could do a pineapple upside down cake. Add about 5 tablespoons melted butter and 1/2 cup brown sugar to the pineapple. Spread on the bottom of a well-greased baking dish, pour the cake batter over it. You could even go crazy and add a dash of rum to the pineapple before you bake it.
