I have never attempted to make a fruit cake.  Wonder if it will really taste better if you make it yourself.

What is your must have appliance?  Something you use everyday or it just comes in handy. 

Salad dressing isn't only for making salads.  Great to have in the fridge to compliment other meals.

Nutella does bake well.  Never tried it in a crepe, but will try that out soon. 

Mini Taco Bowls


8 flour tortillas (6 inch)
1 lb. extra lean ground beef
1 cup salsa
1/2 cup 2% milk shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups chopped lettuce
1 cup  chopped tomatoes
1/4 cup ranch dressing

HEAT oven to 350°F. Microwave tortillas on HIGH 30 sec. Press 1 tortilla into each of eight 2-1/2-inch muffin cups. Carefully fold back edges of tortillas, leaving opening in center of each for filling. Bake 10 min.

MEANWHILE, brown meat in large skillet; drain. Stir in salsa; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 10 min. Spoon into tortilla bowls; top with remaining ingredients.

Thanks for sharing.  Can never have too many food ideas.

It was floating? How strange... Maybe it wasn't heavy enough? I agree you can wrap rocks in foil then place it on top of a plate or lid to keep the turkey from floating.

lol! I don't think I could... What about the Weasel Coffee: This Coffee is first eaten by Weasels which then regurgitate it, no one knows why they do this but it is then collected by locals in remote forest areas and then cleaned and roasted. Yuck!
