I can get it at my local grocery stores and use it on pork loin or chicken, and I have even found a fresh sausage with the flavor already added to it. Very good with yellow rice, black beans, and peas.

Pasta with zukes, carrots, onion, garlic, basil...sm
sauted in olive oil, with a garden salad. All of that (except the pasta, of course) from the garden. You guys posted lots of yummy plans.
I LOVE love love shallots! I use them in everything that calls for an onion and/or garlic. Mmmmmm. n

Believe it or not, but I take Walmart brand Onion and Garlic and mix it with a jar of Walmart brand
Mixing the two sauces togeter gives it the right amount of garlic and veggies. Our family is Italian on both sides, but we all agree for a quick jar sauce instead of homemade, this does the trick! YUM
Marinade
I usually marinade my meat overnight.
Most of the marinade packets
tell you on the back 30 to 60 minutes. The longer you marinade it, the stronger it will be.

Mojo and Mimi--love it!
Are they always like that? I mean, stuck together like glue?! So cute! All these kitty pictures really have me missing my old guy...even if he always hissed and growled at me when I tried to get some lovin' out of him. I'm thinking I'll be making a trip to the shelter tomorrow...saw a thing on the news they are over capacity with cats. Lots of folks surrendering their pets because it's either fuel or food and the pets lose. Give 'em a big hug for me!
Tampa here - Cuban sandwiches, deviled crab, Mojo
pork, stuffed potatoes. My husband was born and raised here in the area while I am from Arkansas, and while I have not been to southern Florida (Miami), I have not found another area that has Cubans as good as I can get in Tampa. The only thing we had in my hometown that I've not found elsewhere was a patty melt at the Dairy Queen made with sourdough bread. Sadly they tore it down many years ago and the new store closed a few years back.
Two Tylenol (not aspirin or Advil or Aleve) with anything citrus..
And the "navel" in the fuzzy navel doesn't count!!!
Be safe and happy 2008!!
Running wild all summer in the surrounding citrus orchards - sm
- Also the small town (which it isn't anymore) 4th of July parade, and how excited my dad would get about the fireworks.
- First trip to Yosemite & Lake Tahoe in 1960. Back then the park was practically empty in late August.
- Neighbors who showed Disney movies for all the kids in the neighborhood for free on summer Sat. nights.
- Halloween when I was 10, and trick-or-treating with no parents along. Kids sure can't do that now.
- The nearby thoroughbred horse farm, where we used to sneak into the *old guys'* pasture, climb aboard, and ride them around. It's a wonder we weren't killed...
- *Sledding* down hills on dried-out grass on big pieces of cardboard.
- Tire races! (Put small kid in large tire at top of hill, roll tire down hill. Resulting dizziness of said small kid was VERY funny. Tire & kid that go the farthest before falling over is the winner.)
- Building our own wagons, go-karts, tree-forts, stick-horses, bird-houses, etc. without adults to tell us the *right* way to do it. Much more fun our way.
- Playing in construction sites. We once found a HUGE beam that was eventually going to be a main ceiling beam, and with about 15 kids' help, were able to drag it to a spot where we could turn it into a GIANT see-saw. You could put about 8 kids on either side, and it went REALLY high.
- Going to my friend's house on Sunday nights to watch Bonanza - in COLOR! (Everyone else in the neighborhood had blk. & wht.)

Onion odor - eeewwww!
I did a really dumb thing. On Sunday I cut open a big purple onion and used a couple of slices in a dish. Then, wanting to be frugal and not throw the rest away, I wrapped the rest of the onion in plastic wrap and stuck it in my fridge, on a plastic shelf in the door, face-down. Okay, I'm 55 and have almost never used onions. I only bought a big one because they were out of the little pearl onions. Now, two days later, my fridge smells to high heaven! I washed out the little shelf I had put the onion on with soap and water and it didn't do anything to help. So far, all I've been able to do is put a big lump of baking soda on the shelf and hope a lot. Any ideas?
My new favorite is Vidalia onion cornbread sm
Vidalia Onion Cornbread (from Paula Deen)
1 box Jiffy corn muffin mix
1/2 stick butter
1 large Vidalia or other sweet onion, chopped
1 egg, beaten
1/3 cup whole milk
1 cup sour cream
1 cup grated Cheddar cheese, divided
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp dill weed (which I leave out)
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Spray an 8-inch square baking pan with vegetable oil cooking spray. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and saute the onion until tender, but not browned, for about 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and add the muffin mix, egg, milk, sour cream, 1/2 cup of the cheese, the salt, and dill weed. Stir to combine. Pour into the prepared pan and top with the remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake for 30 minutes, until set and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cornbread comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly before cutting into squares.
I double the recipe and bake it in a 9x13 or even 11x15 pan and it comes out great. And to keep the cheese from getting too dark, I add it the last 10 minutes instead of at the beginning. So yummy!
Second favorite is corn casserole, very similar to the onion cornbread.
Corn Casserole
1 pkg Jiffy corn muffin mix
8 oz sour cream
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 egg
1 can whole kernel corn (do not drain)
1 can cream-style corn
1 stick of butter
Melt the butter in an 8x8 baking dish in a 400-degree oven. Meanwhile, mix the corn muffin mix, juice from whole kernel corn, egg, and sour cream until well mixed. Add remaining ingredients and pour into dish with butter. Stir slightly to mix in the butter. Bake 30-45 minutes or until set in the middle.
Again, I have doubled this recipe and baked in a 9x13 pan; however, do not double the butter or it is too greasy.
Sometimes I chop a little onion and add to the salmon with fresh
parsley. Sometimes I will add just a touch of mustard. Any way I make them they seem to turn out good. I usually just make them with egg white instead of the whole egg, but sometimes will add the egg yolk as well. I love salmon and make it frequently for myself as well. 
garlic on warts gets rid of them. sm
home remedies or new age?? fine line there.
sometimes I think we're being "prepped" for a corporate-free world...
Absolutely love tomato and Vidalia onion sandwiches.

I shred the beef and saute with a little finely diced onion and butter,
then add a bit of flour to make a roux and brown that lightly. Then warm milk to "cream" it. I like a bit of good paprika, sometimes the hot variety, at the end.
Sorry, meant to say garlic salt, not sauce!mt

Might try hanging garlic cloves from the branches, - sm
but then again, it might just keep the people away, too!
(On the bright side, at least your tree would be free of vampires.)
Hmm, roasted peppers, olives, garlic, tomatoes
Yummy! My husband and I neither one grew up eating the above - we had mostly the bland food and the reason being, there are a lot of people who just do not know how to use spices and seasonings. Glad grown now because I have all those delicious things you speak of. Years ago in Mexico I had roasted green peppers with cheese- tried to match but mine never the same. Mouth is watering!
chocolate cake and garlic dill pickles. sm
did you know, if you eat a wintogreen lifesaver and then drink pop - the pop tastes like beer!

I have the feeling he doesnt have a UTI and he's trying to tell me something else, but I'll be taking him to the vets to be safe.
