I don't know about if the salmonella could be in the lava cake, but if you are worried about it, use pasteurized eggs. I use them when I make home made ice cream. Michelle

Just a thought....do you have a "spare" room that you don't use very much. I would decorate that room with everything....wall hangings, drums, masks and every other "God-awful piece" and have a "theme room". You could make it a reading room or "Man-cave" that your husband could retreat to...

As soon as I qualify with my 4 shows (or $1250), I need to start a registry for my niece. (This should be next week) My niece is getting married in June. She asked if people could make their own personal orders at the same time that they purchase something from the registry. I said Yes (at...

I used the large white shrimp (21-25/pound). They happened to be on sale for $6.99/lb. (Yippee!). We live in FL so we often have access to good Gulf shrimp. I removed the shells because that is my preference but you could marinade & cook them with the shells on. I love jumbo shrimp too and I...

Since I'm new to PC and have appreciated the tips that everyone has shared, I wanted to share a recipe that I made up this evening. I just received the new Grill Basket and wanted to try it out so we made Jerk Shrimp using the following Marinade. Jerk Shrimp Marinade (for 1 lb shrimp) 1/4...
