I have a ton of leftover croissants, so I'd like to take one of the meats and just make little sandwhiches. I'd like to have two meat appetizers, though, so I'm looking for ideas.

I'm hosting an after Christmas get-together and I'm serving appetizers/finger foods because of the lack of sit-down space and I'm sure everyone's tired of ham and turkey anyways.

Like I said, I hate cheese so I need something impressive but something that most cheese lovers would enjoy. Any and all ideas are appreciated!

So I took my first crack at making jerky a couple of weeks before the holidays and long story short the finished product ended up too salty, some of the thinner slices were nigh unedible.

I cured the meat for 1 hour using an improvised mix of iodized table salt and sodium nitrite from the lab I work in because I was not able to find a proper recipe nor official cure in the store. I did this in a 99 to 1 ratio based on some reading I found. Following the cure I rinsed the meats with water pretty well.

For the base marinade, which I believe is the culprit, I made a solution of soy sauce and Worcestichire sauce in a ratio of 2 to 1. Following that I split the liquid portion of the batch in two and spiced the halves differently, one was intended to be spicy while the other was more of Indian teriyaki I guess with saffron, both contained substantial portions of brown sugar which I figured would offset the saltiness which I was expecting to a certain degree.

What changes to make?

We are having fried catfish, garden salad and french fries. This is the catch -- there will be approximately nine people including myself. Their ages range from 53 to 90 years old and they are all african-american. I know you are probably thinking "What does their race have to do with it?". Well I'll tell you why ... they are old (especially the ones that are 60 and up) and they are very picky. If it's not southern-style food then they want no parts of it. Also, a lot of older people don't think younger people can cook -- at least not like them anyway.

I need something that they will eat. I know they love catfish so that's a win, but if I make some fancy appetizers chances are they'll end up in the garbage. I don't have any money to waste so I really need some suggestions.

10 points to the first person who gives the best answer.

of ricotta, but find it a bit grainy. Can you either suggest an alternate cheese or tell me how to make ricotta creamy?

I bought a big piece of ham from Wegman yesterday. I am just wondering do I have to cook it or is it already cooked? It looks like the ham you get at the sandwich shop.

My husband and I just moved in with my best friend and her family, and the task of cooking fell to me because I'm good at it and I like to do it. The problem is that all meals must be prepared in a crock pot, an electric skillet, and the microwave because the gas in the house is turned off. Her family eats huge quantities of food, and they don't like ethnic foods, which are what I like best to prepare. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

I love good bread and for a while have collected several receipes and a few books.

I prefer a good crust and flavorful light interior. Artisan-type breads that are at Safeway with olives are great, but I want to take it up a notch.

What are some tips for good bread baking? Do you use a stone? Do you spray the oven? Do you put any wash on it before baking?
