Irene in FL -- IF I had a Hot Pot similar to yours in office -- I'd use it by freezer-bagging my excess cooking (left-overs). Especially large pot items like stews, baked beans, pasta with sauce mixed in, homemade soups, heating sliced meat roast with gravy that can be put in a bun or bread -- and you'd save enough lunch money for some nice dinners out to justify it.

Two Nancyland readers have brought it to my attention that the topping is too thick to spread easily for the Orange Fluff Salad I submitted to the June 11th newsletter. I am really sorry about this, but I had checked again, and that is exactly the way I have it written down. This recipe was sent to me many years ago by a good friend in Mn., who is now deceased. I made it often when our four children were growing up, as it was a favorite. Recently I did recopy a lot of recipes into a new note book, as the originals were getting so worn and faded. I suspect that I made a error when recopying it, as I haven't tried it since I did that. I did find another similar recipe and the toping for that salad called for 1 (8 oz.) pkg. softened cream cheese, 1 (3.4 oz.) pkg. instant vanilla pudding and 1-3/4 cups milk beat together with electric mixer and spread over the Jell-O. It seems the difference is with the amount of milk used to make it spread easier? I hope this helps.

I happened to acquire a 35 pound box of Oreo cookie crumbs. Aside from a cookie crust for a cheesecake does anyone have any idea what I could do with these?
Jodi from Kansas City

Jodi, you could use some of them to make ice cream blizzards. Just mix ice cream and as many crumbs as you like in a blender and serve. Or you could layer some in a glass with pudding or yogurt and make parfaits.
Good luck, Barb in Ohio

This is for Jody, who in the 6/29/10 newsletter requested recipes in which she can use crushed Oreos. Judy had a great recipe in the 6/29/10

Over double boiler, melt chips and shortening until smooth. Dip balls into mixture and thoroughly coat. Place on wax paper to harden. Store in refrigerator.

Boil in Bag ideas for Irene in FL: I've seen Success Rice boil-in-bags but not much else in small servings in regular supermarkets. Try Army/Navy stores for MRE (Meal ready to eat) or search online. You can make your own: divide a bag of your favorite frozen stirfry vegetables into individual servings in good quality pint freezer bags (not the zipper ones). Add a slice of turkey/ham/beef deli meat (or leftover chicken, etc.), cooked rice or pasta and seasoning. Seal, freeze. You can also "bag" individual portions of casseroles, soups, stews and other dishes you make at home to freeze and reheat in your hot pot.

Jodi from Kansas City June 29 Oreo crumbs

I used to make a Dirt Pudding for parties at work its so easy.

Buy a nice plastic flower pot with a saucer attached to stop dripping and some silk flowers to stick in the pot.

Fill the bottom of the pot with a cup or so of crumbs. Mix a large instant pudding any flavor you like according to package directions then beat in an 8 oz softened cream cheese and a medium cool whip. Then just layer the pudding mixture and crumbs until you have used all the pudding and finish with a layer of crumbs on top. It'll look like a flower in a pot and what a surprise when you serve up the center piece
