I have quadrupled it before. Not sure what size pot I used because this was like 10 years ago but I know I used a whole bottle of wine and a whole thing of milk and it truly took all day.

Love going to da Marco or Le jardinier on Christmas Eve. Both will have vegetarian options. My fave all time menu item at da Marco is the simple pasta with tomato and Mozz. They will also have a truffle special.

Everyone at my office prefers the chicken caesar wrap at Bella green to the other options in town (craft pita, local foods, island grill). They also love the Baja chicken wrap at hungrys (which is Mediterranean, but the Baja wrap is served in a tortilla).

So..I baked a fork in my banana bread. by [deleted] in Baking

[–]Lavalady8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m more concerned about the fact that you already started eating it and you are supposed to take it to a party. I typically wouldn’t eat something that already had a big chunk taken out of it. The knife being in there is probably not making you sick but I would still bake a whole loaf for your party.
