At Thanksgiving you can heat the milk in the microwave. Use a BIG bowl or pitcher though. <BR/><BR/>You didn't say how you liked the steaming comparing to the boiling. Ina drains her potatoes and then puts a dish towel over them to steam for about 10 minutes. But that's kind of inexact.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02284023935180677683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542361835947520230.post-46303284010520574872008-10-17T11:59:00.000-04:002008-10-17T11:59:00.000-04:00Lo - I love rosemary too.

I look forward to seeing your recipe.<BR/><BR/>CEF - I do have a recipe for sugar-coated bacon, so I know it's out there. I know the dessert truck in NYC serve a bacon creme anglaise with their bread pudding. I guess I really just have to either a. make it myself or b. go out and pursue it. I'm just afraid for my waistline and arteries.<BR/><BR/>You'll never hear me complain about all of the pork on the internet!The Short (dis)Order Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05510572788683143569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542361835947520230.post-37640451595940158092008-10-17T11:08:00.000-04:002008-10-17T11:08:00.000-04:00candied bacon is a rageand chocolate covered bacon...candied bacon is a rage<BR/>and chocolate covered bacon too<BR/><BR/>pork chops are taking over the blogosphere...michael, claudia and sierrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10466840130053606273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542361835947520230.post-43874843449791870002008-10-16T20:52:00.000-04:002008-10-16T20:52:00.000-04:00Rachel, you're the bomb.

I'm not really a pork fan, but the rest of the world is, so I cook it a lot (for others). I have a cooking class tomorrow, so I'll be posting the pork recipe I'm doing sometime this weekend.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and pork candy? I've been seeing chocolate covered bacon all over the place. I want to attempt to make some.

The next time hubby takes a long business trip, that's exactly what I'm going to make.<BR/><BR/>Darius - I'm all for pork candy! I guess the closest thing you can get to that is pork rinds in a bag. <BR/><BR/>Cathy- I get a kick out of everyone who uses the term "potato ho". I'm actually not overly fond of potatoes, which is why I'm always looking for new variations on mashed ones. <BR/><BR/>B. Duck - And I love how your blog says you frequently take dance breaks!!! You have my condolences for the chocolate thing.<BR/><BR/>Adam - I have never actually tried using chicken broth to boil my potatoes in (although I've used reduced chicken broth as a flavoring). I think that would be better than steaming.<BR/><BR/>Dee - Potato mashers are great stress relievers.The Short (dis)Order Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05510572788683143569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542361835947520230.post-15503235551311119612008-10-15T08:19:00.000-04:002008-10-15T08:19:00.000-04:00Mash and chops sound like an idea.

And I am that way too - when husband is out of town, I'd still fix me solo meal (instead of just ordering pizza) and something he usually doesn't like much, i.e. homemade mac and cheese, with more cheese than the mac.
