Q:I made hundreds when I lived in the states from a old copy of BHG that was at the restaurant I worked at. I would like to make one but can't remember the recipe (never that that'd be possible). It didn't have cornstarch I know that it just used flour....anyone please???

2-2/3 cups milk 1 cup sugar 1/3 cup cornstarch Dash salt 2 beaten eggs 1 tablespoon vanilla 1-1/2 cups coconut, toasted 1 recipe Baked Pastry Shell (see recipe below) Whipped cream (optional) Directions 1. Prepare Baked Pastry Shell. Cool. Meanwhile, for filling, in 2-quart saucepan, cook and stir the milk, sugar, cornstarch, and salt over medium-high heat until bubbly. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Remove from heat. 2. Gradually stir about 1 cup of the hot mixture into the beaten eggs. Return all of the mixture to the saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil; reduce heat. Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Stir in vanilla. 3. Sprinkle coconut into pastry shell. Top with filling. Cover with plastic wrap and chill about 3 hours or until set. To serve, dollop with whipped cream and sprinkle with additional coconut, if you like. Makes 8 servings. Baked Pastry Shell: Stir together 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in 1/3 cup shortening until pieces are pea-size. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon cold water over part of the mixture; gently toss with a fork. Push moistened dough to the side of the bowl. Repeat moistening dough, using 1 tablespoon cold water at a time, until all the dough is moistened (4 to 5 tablespoons cold water total). Form dough into a ball. On a lightly floured surface, use your hands to slightly flatten dough. Roll dough from center to edge into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. To transfer pastry, wrap it around the rolling pin. Unroll pastry into a 9-inch pie plate. Ease pastry into pie plate, being careful not to stretch pastry. Trim pastry to 1/2 inch beyond edge of pie plate. Fold under extra pastry. Crimp edge as desired. Generously prick bottom and side of pastry in pie plate with a fork. Prick all around where bottom and side meet. Line pastry with a double thickness of foil. Bake in a 450 degree F oven for 8 minutes. Remove foil. Bake 5 to 6 minutes more or until golden. Cool on a wire rack.

Q:I want to buy one of my good friends an espresso machine for Christmas, but I don't have a whole lot of money to spend. If I buy a $30-$40 model, will I be severely compromising on quality?

You get what you pay for. For a good one that will last and give you years of enjoyment, look at paying at least $200.

Q:walmart sells it but doesnt have anymore does anyone know anywhere else i could purchuse this item from?

You could check OKorder from time to time; one might turn up there. I frequently see items from Walmart, Target and other chain stores turn up in 'salvage' stores in my area....it would be a long shot, though. Hope you can find it!!

Q:How do u get rid of lizards & garden snakes outside your home? Pls help!?

Q:Which magazine do you regularly read? Which one do you trust? Sometimes I look at the article and keep wondering if people really buy the products they are trying to promote. So please tell me the magazine/journals you find useful in this respect. Thanks

i like family circle, ladies home journal, good housekeeping and martha stewart. lots of good ideas. remember, all magazines rely mostly on their advertisers for revenue, not subsriptions. take what you like and leave the rest. and by all means, if you're not happy with a purchase for any reason, return it, insisting on a full refund. if they want your business again in the future, they'll also send you an apology and sometimes even a coupon for future use.
