Your Recipe Party sounds like fun and I'd love to participate. I can't count how many times I've let pots boil over on my induction cooktop, but (so far) I've always managed to catch them before I ruined my pots, or worse. Have you checked with someone to be sure it's safe to continue using your cooktop like it is? I'll look forward to linking to your Recipe Party later today. Sincerely, Janie Hi, Rhoda …

I have a similar story. I left my treasured LeCreuset tea kettle on the stove top while I got too absorbed in my millioneth viewing of It's A Wonderful Life. What a mess...melted teapot...luckily, I old stove suffered no damage. My dear son bought me a new tea kettle with a whistler but I never will live it down and each Christmas season when It's A Wonderful Life airs, again and again, my dear children like to remind me of my mishap :) Count me in for the recipe party.

I hope it's not more expensive that you've estimated. I know what you mean about our memory after 50. Oh Rhoda,

I wish that I could get my husband to get me a gas stove but he has an irrational fear of it (or me) blowing the house up! I don’t think they are as hot as a more traditional stove.

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 01:14:09 +0000 http://southernhospitalityblog.com/?p=2256#comment-29612 I've done meal planning for years and it has really helped with budgeting and also with not staring at my cupboards trying to decide what is going to be for dinner. I figure out what meat is on sale that week and go from there (meat always being the most expensive for us). It all goes on the big family calendar so I can easily see it. We don't always cook each meal on the day it's written but at least I know what is in the house to cook.

I have a form on my computer for planning out the meals on one side, and the other has the space for grocery list. (would be happy to e-mail it to you if you'd like). I love taking advantage of Buy One/Get Two meat deals at Albertsons. Hubby is a steak lover, and they do (often) specials on their petite sirloin steaks. I'll buy a bunch, pack 3-4 in gallon size ziplock bags and pour in our favorite marinade (Allegro) and freeze. When we're ready to grill out, I put them in the frige to thaw and while thawing they're marinating!

Sounds fun!!! I'm sending over a link to my absolute favorite-ist (LOL) chicken recipe. The women's ministry director at my church got the recipe from me to serve at last night's ladies event (300 ladies) because I served it to her and she fell in love with it too. Hope you will like it as much as me! http://sweetjeanette.blogspot.com/2009/08/cheesy-sun-dried-tomato-stuffed-chicken.html Recipe Party? Sounds fun!!!

I do my grocery shopping off that calendar. I sometimes stray a bit from my menus but not too much. At the beginning of the week I look at what I have for produce etc and whatever other fresh meaning produce items I have and finalize the weeks meals. It has cut down on my grocery shopping bills as well. I also watch the weekly circulars and the week I do my "big" shopping I go through all the ads for their weekly specials. yes, its a bit more driving but everything is within 5-7 miles of my home. Its worth it when store a has whole pork loin for 1.49 lb, whole beef tenderloin for $5.99 lb and cheese is 10/$10 I stock up. Its well worth the few minutes of quiet time in my car.
