Curried Whatever - from Pan to Guest in 20 Minutes

Dear Miss Chatty: I have a simple question for you, oh great purveyor of things chaste and pure. When making a curry, what steps do you follow. The ladies in my cooking club have argued over this incessantly. I told them I'd write to you to settle it. Saffron Curious in Ann Arbor, MI Dear Saffy:... Sign in to see full entry.

Penmenship Counts When Spray Painting Grafitti

Dear Miss Chatty: My boyfriend has complained about my penmenship, stating he can't read a word of what I write. He constantly makes fun of my handwriting to friends and relatives - calling it "doctor's scribble without the degree." Now when the time comes to sign the marraige license, will he...

Silk Flowers Bouy the Winter Spirit

Dear Miss Chatty: A close acquaintance took me to task for having artifical bouquets in my house. He says, that it's cheating nature. I should have great bursts of poppies and roses, daffidil in season and a sprinkle of fern in every corner. I say, I love flowers, in bloom around the clock all the... Sign in to see full entry.

A. T. & T.: America's Evil Empire

Dear Miss Chatty: I recently had some problems with my telephone and internet connection. I have, can I say it, A. T. & T. They made an appointment to check my line and said it the problem was inside my apartment. They made another appointment for an "inside" technician to come in and check the...

Dear Miss Chatty: I was cleaning out a closet and found an old photo album of goodies from several girlfiends I had not seen in many years. My current boyfriend caught me looking at it and got really mad, and accused me of retreating back into the closet. I told him he was paranoid as he was the... Sign in to see full entry.

The Great Cream Cheese Challenge!!

Dear Miss Chatty: I love cream chesse and bagels; in fact, I love any kind of cream cheese variation - with onion, fruit, jam, butter and even peanut butter. I would use Cream Cheese in place of whip cream or even cottage cheese in most recipes. I even have made a Cream Cheese Lasagna. Pea Soup -... Sign in to see full entry.

Dear Miss Chatty: My son lives with us at home after having spent four years at a prestigious college getting a degree in Psychology. Instead of persuing his career, he moved back in with us and announced that he needed to "find himself" for a few years before he won't launch out on a career. We... Sign in to see full entry.

Lemons can be a Girl's Nightmare in Hollandaise Sauce

Dear Miss Chatty: Yesterday I made eggs benedict and substituted regular bacon for Canadian bacon. Somehow, the Hollandaise Sayce was not quite right as well. There was a bit of mold on the English Muffin, which I chopped off after toasting. The whole hing was quite messy, especially since the... Sign in to see full entry.

Bathing: A short term ritual from a Mid-50's Fad - Heaven Help Us!

Dear Miss Chatty: I'm from the old school, where bathing is not necessarily a morning eye-opener, but something one does only on Saturday nights. My friends have on occasion told me that I'm less than fresh, but I'm not impressed. The human aroma is a good thing, as Martha Stewart would say, and I... Sign in to see full entry.

Chatty's Back in the Saddle - Yee-Ha!

Thanks for all the comments and emails about my delicate health. Actually, I'm strong as an ox and perhaps as big as one. That still does not shake my fashion sense or my crush on Steven Cojucaro. Well I am still sorting through my hundreds of emails for a good one for advice and can't decide... Sign in to see full entry.
