Hello,

I absolutely love (and crave) the Thai curry soup at the Noodles and Company
restaurants. I already make Thai food, so what I am really wondering is if anyone
has a recipe which comes close to theirs. It's sweet, spicy with coconut milk and
SOOOO good. Thank you in advance!

Hi!

I am looking for a tried and true recipe for a cranberry cake using fresh
cranberries and that is served with either a butter or vanilla sauce. I want to
serve it for my card club in a couple of weeks. Thank you.

I am looking for a pasta recipe that has chicken and pepper jack cheese, or
something of that nature that makes it spicy. A Cajun aspect to it. Help!

Re: Cold Remedies
 
This is for Heather about the "Crud". If your Children or Grownups cough a lot at
night, Generously rub the soles of their feet with Vicks Vapo Rub, put on heavy
socks & go to bed, you will not cough all night, It works I had the Crud &
coughed so hard, it helped me to sleep at night.

Note from Kaylin: I have heard of this before- and so my family tried it this
weekend and it works!
 

For Sara and her vinegar based barbeque sauce, this has been a family favorite
for years.

Barbeque Sauce

1 quart catsup (generic is fine)
1 quart white vinegar
2 c. sugar
1/4 ts. cinnamon
1/4 c. chili powder

Combine all ingredients in a sauce pan. Heat to a simmer, but do not boil. Cool
and refrigerate. I make this up by the gallons to last the summer. My kids are
always stopping by to "borrow" a bottle. (This is not hot despite the amount of
chili powder.)

Hi Kaylin!

Here is a breakfast pizza recipe for Karen that we really like. Also a recipe for
Lettuce and Cauliflower Salad for Sherry that I served at my son's graduation
party. It was one of the first things to go.

For Sherry who is looking for something different for graduation -- one of my co
-workers had a 'Taco Bar'. They bought big bags of shredded lettuce, cut up
garden tomatoes, bought cheese already shredded, hard and soft shells, taco
sauce, and made up pounds of taco meat, sour cream, and the rest of the fixings.
They bought some of the items at a local warehouse club. (They actually put in
an order ahead of time.) For dessert, they had chocolate mint brownies instead
of the usual graduation cake.

One of my sisters, who's hubby loves to grill, did pulled pork. They were able
to make it a day ahead and just reheated it and added BBQ sauce and made
sandwiches. They also had fresh fruit - watermelon, strawberries, muskmelon,
oranges, apples, etc. That was VERY refreshing. Her daughter wanted cupcakes
instead of 'cake', so we had various flavors of cupcakes (chocolate, marble,
white, lemon). We made them a week ahead, put in the freezer and took out the
morning of the graduation and frosted them all with white frosting. We had M&M's
in her class colors and put a few of them on the top of each cupcake.
