What do you use it for, Clod? Im afraid that if I buy one, I will put it in the drawer and forget that I have it.

Smoothies, mostly. The kids' "juice" is actually a puree of butternut squash, cauliflower, peaches, and pears, so I do huge batches of that. For me it's standard strawberry and banana. It's nice for soups too, but I only use it for those maybe once a month.

I lied, I didnt really mean tonight...I meant I wanted to tonight, which is a whole other issue when it comes to me. (plus, it was snowing, so in my defense...

) But Im gonna in the next few days. I have go to the store first, though...need bell peppers, onions, and stuff to finish off the kebabs. Its sounds sooooo good.

I got the recipe from my ex who heard it from someone else. I took them to a cookout once and they lasted like 5 minutes. Now about half the people I know make them.

Glad you're going to try them!

Would the broiler work just as well, do you think?

Shawnee123 · 01-07-2011, 11:06 AM

Yes, I've made them under the broiler too. Messy, though. Still, grill is better.

We say that at my family get togethers all the time, about the pretzels.

$5.99 version probably doesn't work exactly as well

AH-SO Cork Puller - the name sounds like a Chinese insulting.

Actually, I have the cheap one. I aspire to the Williams Sonoma version. But I have to break the cheap one first.

Simplest cork puller ever to use, never breaks the cork. Rock in, twist out.

Shawnee123 · 01-07-2011, 02:24 PM

Oooh, I think those are hard to use. When I waitressed at the country club I used the regular "key" for opening wine. Otherwise I'd be standing there like an idiot, grunting and pulling. I'd have to sit on the floor and hold the bottle with my feet as I tried to disengage the cork. When said cork came free I'd probably fly across the room.

(Otherwise I'd be standing there like an idiot, grunting and pulling.) Oh my, that doesn't sound very professional.

Oh God, me too!

I use one of those cork screws with the arms that are up in the air and then you pull down on them to lever the cork out. It might take 2 extra seconds, but no brute force needed. Very civilized.
