RE: Chicken Fried Steak Instructions?
I use either the cube steak or round steak, pounded.
dredge in flour, then egg wash then seasoned bread crumbs and pan fry.

RE: Children
you cannot compare mental illness to kids from a divorced home.
I believe the story of the shooting is more about a child with mental illness - don't get me wrong, I would in no way defend his actions. We, as a society need to deal with the millions in this country who are mentally ill. I have no idea what the answer is, but I do know ignoring the problem has not worked so far.

RE: Whatcha Having For Christmas Dinner?
I get to cook on Sunday before Christmas so I will be serving:
appetizer while watching football:
deviled eggs
artichoke dip
dinner:
green salad
stuffed leg of lamb
roasted herb potatoes
a vegetable (haven't decided yet)
pasta (for those who don't like lamb and some who do!)
mom's homemade focaccia (none of that flat stuff for us!)
and homemade cream puffs and a fruit pie (haven't decided which) for dessert
Christmas dinner will be a MIL's house (ick!) - pasty mashed potatoes, floury gravy and microwaved corn - gee, I can hardly wait :R

RE: Ipad..... 2 questions
In my opinion - get the most gb you can afford. Just like anything else, the more you have, the more you will use.

RE: Pork Pot Roast Question
any pork cut will work if you cook long and slow. I put mine in at 235 degrees and cook all day. Either shoulder or butt are falling apart and delicious. Season as you like before placing in oven. I add onion and garlic as well as dry seasoning

RE: Can't find an eletric bed warmer that actually gets warm!
Put the electric blanket under the regular blanket and top it with a comforter or spread or quilt (something to keep the warmth in. Feel the warmth. That's the way I have always done it.
this is what I always have done...sheet, electric blanket on high to warm up the bed, comforter/quilt. Keeps the warmth in (in fact, usually too warm so I end up turning the blanket either off or very low)

RE: When you are hard boiling eggs... don't get distracted!
When I was young, my uncle lived with us for awhile when he got back from Viet Nam. My mom had left some spaghetti in a pyrex dish in the fridge for him. He got home from work after we had gone to bed. We awoke to a loud bang, ran to the kitchen and found glass and spaghetti EVERYWHERE! He didn't know that you couldn't heat pyrex on the stove.

RE: 5th or Diesel Class A - Family of 5 and a year tour of US
Personally I prefer a motorhome. 5 people traveling in a truck seems to very close for long periods of time.
I like to be able to use the restroom when needed and not have to stop. I can make lunch without stopping. Kids can watch movies or play board games, cards, etc. Also, I have fibro myalgia and need to move every so often (as I imagine kids do) so being able to get up and stretch my legs is necessary.

RE: At the moment, just an idea
Many many thanks for all your useful suggestions.
As I stated, at present this is just an idea. In a few weeks DW and I are off to Portugal for the winter in our 5er, so we can carry on our deliberations in the sunshine.
Both Cruise America and El Monte have UK based facilities, which would make life easier. Both of us have little interest in Las Vegas, so Phoenix would probably be our first choice. Dates, itinery and destinations will come at a later date, and we will certainly consider all your valued ideas
Once again many thanks
Mark & Joan
you may not have interest in Las Vegas, but many times the airfare to and from Las Vegas is cheaper than other airports. Vegas subsidizes flights to get your gambling dollars.
Friends from the high desert drive to Las Vegas and fly from there as it is cheaper to the same place as it would be from Ontario, CA or LAX. LAX and LV about the same distance apart for them.

RE: I get so frustrated
This thread is a little over the top in my opinion.
Outside of RVing, I am a trained chef and although I no longer cook professionally, I do still teach cooking courses at our local community college out of love for the art of cooking right. I can pontificate with reasonable accuracy that most of the recipes seen here are not being posted by the original author. Any recipe that has an exhaustive list of 1/4 tsp of this and 1/2 cup of that was probably not authored by the individual posting it. Legitimate original recipes are usually "a little bit" of this or "a pinch" of that.
Creating a great dish is an art, not a science project.
Additionally, the *best* recipes have the fewest ingredients. In fact, anything more than about 5 or 6 ingredients is nothing more than a taste bud overload.
If somebody harvested a recipe off the internet, tried it, and found it to be good, then it should be just fine to share it, however out of respect, proper credit should be given to the originator of the recipe.
thank you for your opinion as a trained chef. I agree that cooking is an art, not a science project.
However, the point of the OP was that when someone asks for help, pointing to google is not helpful as most here are savvy enough to go to google and type in "pot roast" for example. If I ask for pot roast recipes, I am asking "what do you do to make your pot roast delectable". There are many pot roast recipes out there and trust me, not all pot roasts are the same!!
As for proper credit, how many recipes are truly original? Food has been around since the dawn of time, I don't think that crediting the original chef will ever be possible. Just because it is on the internet does not mean the proper credit has been given. 'I read it on the internet, therefore it must be true' LOL!!
As for the "pinch of this method" - I agree, I rarely measure as I know what I like and how much and taste and add as I go along. However, not everyone has a keen eye or the palate to be able to do this OR they are just starting out in their cooking adventure. I prefer to provide a recipe and encourage someone to try something new rather than giving them a cold shoulder and tell them to look it up...
just my opinion - with that and $8 you can get a cup of coffee from some overpriced burnt coffee stand!! :B

RE: Wedding Pictures Stolen Phila/NJ area
I don't know if this is helpful but I did a search on the cornerstone with M.E. Church, Pennsylvania and 1874 and came up with this:
http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~ct0u/trinitymethodist.html
"The cornerstone was laid Sept. 20, 1874, and the church opened for services that year without any formal dedication and with a membership of 18 individuals. In September 1894 the Trinity Methodist church building was purchased for a new parish of the Polish Independent Church. It was decided to build a new Methodist church on Main Street in Freeland, which would become the Park United Methodist Church. While the Freeland church was being built, services were conducted in the Lindsay building on the corner of Washington and Front streets. The cornerstone for the new church on Main Street was laid Aug. 18, 1895."
