OMG, Kathy, that's hilarious! I love that you cut the amount in half, recognizing an error when you see it That's great, Laurie! Guess that's why CL is constantly changing the way they write recipes that call for canned chipotles. I always thought "one can chipotles in adobo" was a BAD idea, even though the directions would later state how much to use. I can't even imagine what three cans would do to a...

They were both the same brand, but instead of Triple Sec he grabbed Butterscotch Schnapps.

Well, tonight I threw together a barley risotto with some pieces of chicken in it. I also made some oven roasted radicchio with EVOO, salt, pepper, some toasted pecans and a dusting of parm cheese.

there's just no accountin' for taste...

That is hysterical, Sneezles. And I don't blame you. Well we are back to contemplating tangerine with more lemon I think bc DH did not like the cloves that well. Go figure.

How about tangerines? I stay away from orange during the holidays because it reminds of the orange and peppermint stick that were always at the bottom of our stockings...they were just for show because I never remember eating either one...or the nuts! Seemd like an annual rip-off to me!

On second thought, maybe I should try pureeing broccoli. Neither of my sons will eat it -- it's not the flavor so much as the texture that they seem to object to.
