Look at all this. You have them running like lemmings to their kitchens. I love it. Thank you.

Ah, Bonnie, I'm sorry. You know I'd share if I could. Darn long distance. For what it's worth, I AM sending mojo so you'll feel better fast. It's bad enough to suffer with the heat. At least Peggy Lee made money when she had her Fever.

Now I'm starving!

Well gosh! that sure was an excellent explanation, 'Old Guy'. Thanks! I've never encountered that problem before, so I was a bit perplexed. (plus, I don't understand a whole lot about computers anyway... ;)

Let's see - I'll try kate+jim and see how that works.

Thank YOU, Wendy. It always tickles me when Coffee Mates like the same things. Makes it more fun.

Dee, it sounds as if you had a wonderfully fun day--and what a payoff at the end of it! I find I'm regularly coming back for recipes these days. Thanks!

Bill, thanks for such a good answer for Kate's question. Folks, this man really does know his 'puter stuff.

Ava, the only glass part of my particular Flavorwave model is the heavy, shallow, tempered glass "bowl" that fits in the base. The hood that fits into the bowl and carries the power unit on its top is plastic. I haven't heard of the glass part breaking although some folks say their hood has cracked. As far as I know, one can get replacement parts easily enough. And, yes, it's very easy to clean. Everything but the power unit can go in the dishwasher if you have one. I don't but a quick swish and wipe in the sink works quite well. If y'all want to check out the unit, I would suggest also checking out the other brands I mentioned, especially the Nu-Wave. Each of the brands is always coming out with improvements so it pays to research them all. Also, sometimes you can get better prices if you buy the unit from other places than the manufacturers.

kate&jim, the problem of the ampersand arises from...

2008-07-18T18:52:00.000-07:00

kate&jim, the problem of the ampersand arises from the fact that when you write a web page, you have to represent certain special symbols by a combination of characters, rather than the symbol itself. In the case of the ampersand, the combination that produces it begins with an ampersand, is followed by "amp" and then by a semicolon. A single ampersand, therefore, may be misinterpreted as a meaningless character, and the browser substitutes something it knows for something it doesn't, in this case the & a m p ; combination.

These comment boxes accept a limited number of HTML tags, such as bold and italic, and links but mess things up when accents and other symbols are used. Also, it can depend on which browser you're using (Internet Explorer vs. Firefox) and which edition.

So if it really bugs you, try a plus sign instead, and see how that works. We all know you're together anyway. Kate+Jim ... it has a certain elegance to it, does it not? Otherwise you might have to type that horrible special combination just to hang together with an ampersand.

2008-07-18T18:19:00.000-07:00

Dee, you post the most interesting recipes. One of these days I want one of the FlavorWaves. Two questions. Is the FlavorWave hard to clean and what happens if the glass part breaks? Replacement part, or do you have to buy the whole thing over again? I guess that's three questions. Oh, well.

Happy Popping!

I don't know why when I type in 'kate&jim' it also adds 'amp;' in the middle of it??? hummm.

I think we're coming to your house to eat. Gosh! you make such wonderful food. (I'm also going to look up the 'flavorwave')!

2008-07-18T18:09:00.000-07:00

Bill, you crack me up! I knew popcorn was healthy but I didn't realize it was THAT healthy. Guess that's why I added the bacon, eh? Merry Poppings indeed. (snortle)

Doug, I hope you enjoy your FlavorWave as much as I have mine. I just learned there are some decent videos on YouTube about them if you haven't seen the infomercial. And if you have any questions, don't hesitate to holler.

2008-07-18T17:08:00.000-07:00

Due to your recent entries, I googled the FlavorWave site, and I ordered one.
Being recently single, I need to improve my cooking, and I hope that it is the answer...

Thanx for being here!

Dee, thanks for elaborating on your new hobby: domino tricks. Popcorn is the preferred method of shipping fragile objects.
What's amazing is how healthy your latest dish actually is. According to Purdue University, who ought to know about such aggie things, "Nutritionally, it is one of the best all-around snack foods, providing 67% as much protein, 110% as much iron and as much calcium as an equal amount of beef. An average 1.5-ounce serving of popcorn supplies the same energy as two eggs; and a cup of unbuttered popcorn contains less calories than half a medium grapefruit. In addition, hull is excellent roughage, comparing favorably with bran flakes or whole wheat toast." http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/AFCM/popcorn.html

I dub thee "Merry Poppings".
