Now that's a GREAT price! Good this week only (Nov 9th)

Through Amazon so not some fly-by-night disreputable clearing house.

Here's the link:

NEW: Dan's Magazine Swap
Q

It sure is quiet here at the magazine swap. More storms last night and it was constant lightening for almost an hour. Looked like natures strobe light. If you are considering using the Dish Network, DON'T. Every time it rains, it goes out and stays out during the whole storm. Even if it is just rain. It does no good if you want to know how bad conditions are. I asked the tech if this would happen when he was installing it because it happened with our previous company. He said no, I shouldn't have any problem. It was a nice rainfall again so we should be set for a while. Have a good day. smitties

Do You Love To Cook? Cook A Lot? Multiple Cook Family?
Q
Comments (27)
This thread, which I didn't catch the first time around, made me think. In general, I cook to eat and feed my family. However, I do enjoy baking for special occasions. I think that if I didn't work outside the home I would cook more...and be more adventurous. But, I work and have a long commute so by the time I get home I have to make fast meals with little time for creativity or major prep work. So, we eat a lot of frozen veggies--as is out of the bag, pre-cooked meats warmed up, pasta, soup, occasionally waffles/pancakes/eggs, potatoes, etc. I.e., for the most part things that I can cook fast. One up side to this is that our meals haven't changed that much w/o a kitchen since we do have a MW, Toaster Oven, and hot plate to cook with! One very big downside to this, though, is that my children are not learning to cook like I did from my mom. Back on topic... After finding this site and reading about zones, I realized that one thing that I really wanted was a baking center. So when my kitchen was being designed I had it in the back of my head that whatever we ended up with had to have an area I could designate my "Baking Zone", preferably near the ovens--with room to roll out dough, spread out cookie sheets, and have cookie cutters spread out all at the same time! The other thing I got from this site was our window...having the window down to the counter (OK, not cooking-related, but a very important design element!) Our very first plan that our KD came up with had input from us...but a very naive/ignorant us! (Before GW...BGW!) Then....I found this site.....and the changes began. Actually, I posted that original plan and asked for help (and also asked my KD to start over w/no island) Many, many people here helped me come up with a plan over several weeks (months?). We finally came up with a plan that has changed little since then. Interestingly, when I took away the island "must have", my KD came up with a plan very similar to what we came up with here. The only 3 differences were (1) no mini peninsula, (2) a 36" pantry cabinet rather than a corner pantry, and (3) no separate Message Center cabinets. My KD wasn't completely happy w/our differences, but she, wisely I thought, told me to go home and mock up what I wanted to see how it would work (same advice I got here!) Well, the mock up was great! It proved that I did indeed want the mini peninsula (I liked it so much I left the mock up in place until demo and used it!) When I told her the results, she didn't argue, she accepted it telling me it's my kitchen, so ultimately it's up to me. So in the end, my design was/is based on what I wanted, not what the KD wanted. [If only someone else had measured my kitchen and she was given more authority, I think a lot of subsequent problems would have been avoided.] Our kitchen isn't done yet, but it's close...so I can't yet tell you how it is going to work for us...but we are so...

Thanks for all your tips. For $37 with tax, that's a lot of money for 12 issues,(2 years) and especially when it's not as good as it once was. I agree with you re: Readers Digest. They seem to ruin everything they get their hands on. Over the past couple years our 2 main Canadian magazines (Chatelaine and Canadian Living) have gotten a lot thinner, and many more pages of advertising. Less and less recipes. I'll have to look closer at the glossy larger magazine on the newstands to see if I like it well enough to spend $13. One is 161 appetizers.....that one doesn't interest me, but there was another one I saw as well. I didn't realize there were actual cookbooks. I'll be looking online as well.

Magazine subscription rates
Q

I have let all my subscriptions expire. I had subscribed to my favorite since the early 80s. I would subscribe in three-year increments. I started getting renewal notices after one year. I accidentally renewed, and then had to call the office to get it cleared up and the addition year added to the three I already had. It took all sorts of jumping through hoops. Again, here come more subscription notices. "Lowest price ever," - which was the same price I had always paid. Then the "special price" renewals were coming every month. I called to cancel everything. That sent them into the song-and-dance of not wanting to lose a valuable customer. I told them if I went one year without any mail of any kind from them, I would consider renewing. That did slow down the mail, but I never renewed. I don't like being hounded.

Great, now I know what to get the girls in the office and others to tuck in the food baskets!

The name sounds interesting. Aside from the price, is it a good mag? (I'm more concerned about trees and garbage than $5, LOL!)

Personally, I like the magazine.
Healthy meals, might have to go purchase this months as I see on the website they have a lower fat pumpkin bread recipe.

Linda, how did you manage to order more than one. When I try it says I can only do 1.
foodonastump

I think they do that because they can't handle multiple delivery addresses on the same order - likely what you'd want in the case of a mag. Just go in and order again.

Another one wanting to say thanks. I just placed my order and will probably order a couple more for my daughters.

I'm laughing, FOAS. I'm trying to get rid of old magazines and you post this steal. My mother just asked me if I wanted another subscription for Cook's Illustrated for Christmas, and I passed (love to read it, never cook from it.) I'll tell her she can give me this instead:) She says "THANKS!!!", and so do I!

PS As an aside, I used to get this magazine and found some of the ingredients too "one time use." I picked it up at the orthodontist the other day and was pleasantly surprised!

I like Cooking Light and a couple of my favorite recipes have come from them. I'm trying to cut down the magazines I get, but now, I'm going to have to think about this...

I ordered three as gifts - you just need to place each order separately.

Annie, don't think too long. The deal is only good this week.

I used to subscribe and got a little annoyed by the ever-growing spa and beauty section, so stopped. Someone gave me a couple of the most recent issues, and I was VERY pleasantly surprised to see they went back to their focus.
So, thanks!

Notice I ordered for gifts...not for me!
Y'all are my "Cooking Light!
I got the magazine for a lot of years....but it got to much spa and beauty...so I dropped it.
But my DIL loves it....and maybe my daughter would too...
For $5 it's cheaper than buying her a margarita at lunch!!

Thanks. I just placed an order for 2 subs - one for me, one for my daughter-in-law who loves to cook.

I also love my Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker. Keep those great deals a-comin'.

Thanks, I ordered one for myself and 2 for gifts. I had cancelled mine sometime ago for the same reason several have mentioned but at any rate it'll be worth 5 bucks.
