How cute is that?
Thanks for sharing.

Right now I'm cooking a meal that has become our Halloween tradition (along with the guns) - "Paul Prudhomme's Mandeville Mardi Gras Chili." I don't make it for Mardi Gras - I do his red beans and rice recipe on that day. Tangentially it's the first time I've cooked it on my new Wolf gas cooktop. Everything cooks so incredibly much better than on my old electric cooktop.

Man, BR- you have my stove! You are right- nothing like cookin' ON gas!

We just finished carving the pumpkins- a chore I hate almost as much as bra shopping and dog poop cleanup. Knives, kids, and an artistic husband make me a nervous wreck. I just hovered around the perimeter of the action ready to call 911, and overpruned half of my shrubs 'cause I wasn't paying attention.

Did you see The Today Show yesterday? There was a guy on there demonstrating how easy it is the carve an intricate design on a pumpkin - NOT! I thought that both Campbell and Lester were going to take off a finger (or a hand - EWWWWW!).

We just finished carving pumpkins too! Glad it's over, although the kids loved it! Yum, chili sounds good about now! Hmmm what a great idea for dinner.... :clap_1: Cowboys are winning!!! Yeah!!

Kinda fun....

WOW!!! This is the greatest thing EVER!! We love carving pumpkins in our house so this is a helpful tool beforehand!! Plus, it's fun. Thanks!

Glad ya'll liked it...
BR...I'm so jealous! I want a gas stove....hate electric...burn everything!

That was sweet of you, destindreamin, to post the pumpkin carving thingie! Much easier than doing the real thing.

BR, you must not enjoy cooking very much if you've only just gotten arond to buying a gas range! I've been cooking on a big Thermador for half my life now. There is absolutely no comparison between gas and electric if you do more than boil an egg. I hope your Wolf opens up a new world of culinary delight to you--you've been missing an awful lot!

Actually I am well-known for my culinary skills, and I am published in many cookbooks, including Neiman's twice. The local Junior League said they should have named their cookbook after me because so many of the recipes were mine.

I dunno - I was just scared of getting a gas cooktop because I had never had one, nor had my mom.

You're right.

Alright fess'up- which Neiman's recipes are yours?
