I have read that one should not ever attempt to make croissants from scratch using anything except butter. I know it is to do with the need to chill the butter until it is almost a complete solid which margarine doesn't truly achieve. I am wondering if there is anyone who has made croissants using margarine. If so, what were the results? Did they turn out okay or were you deemed unfit to be among human beings or other such things?

I'm making one big pot of the filling and serving it in cereal bowls, topped with a warm flakey biscuit.

I will boil and debone the chickens, then make the pot pie filling from the remaining broth. How many chickens/pounds of chicken should I buy?

I need a gigantic metal bowl. My mom has one, but I want my own. So far no place I've looked has had one. I'm talking big like if you put your arms out and lock fingers to create a circle, that big. This is something you can proof bread in or cook for a large group of people with, maybe mix up a good sized salad for a picnic. Can you please help me find a big metal bowl?

I've heard a lot about meat rubs over the past several years, but until last evening, I had never tried them. I used Grill Mates pork rub on spare ribs, and we really liked it. Now I'm wondering what other people use and like?
