Of course we know that olive oil is the better choice....but for years I used Mazola Oil for almost all my cooking and Olive Oil for special. I love the smell of olive oil warming in the pan and then with the addition of the other flavors......but just in case.....the kitchen police won't get you if you're out of OO and use vegetable oil--and there is even a chance with all the other delicious flavors...your family won't notice. Go Ahead, "if you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with" .... even if its Wesson or Mazola.
Thanks elston, I kind of figured I could but I didn't want to waste the food if it turned out nasty tasting. I was waiting for internet to get back up so I could ask my foodie friends. LOL Now I know in a pinch I can.
Oh , calories are the big problems. I would like to have a quickly metabolism for eat a lot of desserts..
Which is the correct word? Dessert or sweet?
Hi Minniemouse!
As far as I can tell, Americans usually say "dessert", but the British say "dessert" or "sweet" when being proper, like in a restaurant, but at home and amongst family/friends would say "pudding"
... As in "what's for pudding, Mum?" !!!!
Just to confuse you further, "pudding" to an American is a sweet creamy custard-type dish, like a blancmange, chocolate mousse or creme caramel.
But, actual British recipe names which include the word "Pudding" are not always sweet! Although they can be! Puddings include a sweet steamed dishes like Christmas Pudding, or a savoury pastry dishes, like Steak & Kidney Pudding, or even a baked batter like Yorkshire Pudding...

My mother who was born in Manchester England, used to make steamed pudding. It was a large lump of dough that she filled with jelly or fruit and tied up in a cloth ( most likely an old bed sheet) and cooked in, or over, boiling water, on top of the stove....it puffed up something like a heavy dumpling....when unwrapped and freed from its "linen" she cut it up put it in bowls and spooned a thin custardy sauce, often lemon flavored, over it. We ate it with a spoon and loved it. This was a winter time dessert. Thank you Momma!
this evening, I'm eating meatloaf = polpettone in Italian and salade.
it's very easy.
I put the meatloaf in a tin with white wine and put it in the oven.
I'm going to the swimming pool and when I coming back, the mealtloaf is ready!
It's very good!
Then, I eat it with the salad and potatoes. i finish with italian coffee and biscuits
I'm very greedy! Before swimmingpool and after....biscuits it's my compromise!
ciao guys!!!
I've never tried wine in meatloaf but it sounds good so I'l have to give it a try. Thanks for the idea.
Tonight we are having a stir fry casserole made with green cabbage, link sausage, onions, whole kernel corn and it will be seasoned with a little soy sauce and ground cayenne. I'll top mine with some sliced jalapeno peppers. This is a one skillet dish that we like done in the big ole iron skillet.

Tonight we will grill chicken breasts marinated in a ginger - sesame - teriyaki mix, and have grilled asparagus, red potatoes, and onions to go along with it. I am going to buy a nice bottle of wine to celebrate the weekend as well! TGIF!!
