More Gripping True Crime from The History Press
Four decades after Jeannette DePalma’s tragic death, authors Jesse P. Pollack and Mark Moran present the definitive account of the shocking Springfield township cold case. Compiled from documents, videos and interviews, this book presents the facts and clues of the case to the public for the first time. Documented in film, crime T.V. shows and now captured in this book; read about Larry Gene Bell and his reign of terror in South Carolina. On November 5, 1976, twenty-seven-year-old Dorothy Milliken left her rural home in Sabattus, Maine, to go to an all-night laundromat. The following morning, her body was found slumped against the outside wall. Through dusty police files, personal interviews, letters and firsthand accounts, journalist Joshua Suchon revisits the details of this disturbing case. Just who was Erie’s infamous ‘Backyard Strangler?’ Would a technicality by police cause the suspected murderer to roam free again to kill more victims?

must have recipe book…. what my microwave does now is amazing.
I love this cook book. It has been so fun learning the recipes.I went on ebay to purchase many of the corning ware that is recomended. I absolutely love making hamburgers in the microwave. great for picky toddlers who won’t eat what the rest of the family is having. I can whip up a hamburger in about 3 minutes. with very little mess. I also love the chicken and broc dish. the macaroni bake, both versions.I wish it was easier to quadruple the recipes for when i want to feed the whole family. I just can never seem to get the timing right. but eggs, bacon, potatoes, spaghetti, roast,, stew, meatloaf, steak, porkchops, these are just to name a few. I have even gotten good about eyeballing ounces.. for instance I no longer need to weight out 4 oz of hamburger meat, after a few times, i can just guess and i’m always about right.I think this is a great gift for some one tired of mcdonalds and other fast food eating. it’s great for feeding kids, all the recipes are really good. Its great for any one who is hungry and doesn’t need to cook a feast. Also the recipes are adaptable to what you may already use. this is great for travel trailers that have microwaves! RV’s, hotels. dorms and more…buy hamburger patties premade, buy instead of chicken breast, chicken tenderloin, each piece is about the right size. We asked our butcher for a 1 lb roast. Sometimes I buy a pack of chicken breast and divide it when i get home before freezing. Same with ground beef. But i have a large family. if it were just me I wouldn’t do that as nearly as much. I freeze most of my veggies to make it easier, chop two onions freeze in baggies, same with peppers, broccoli, mushrooms, Alot of times you dont have to measure, onion, just sprinkle it on, paprika, just sprinkle it on, broccoli, just grab as much as you want to eat… etc.

Rich Variety of Recipes – Game Changer
This book has a wealth of information on how to prepare things you would have never imagined could be prepared in the microwave. I have had success following several of the recipes and techniques. Who knew you could make crispy pita pizza in the microwave using one of the cooking tools she mentioned! Game changer!

The cats hate the microwave and scurry whenever I turn it on
When I come home to my apartment, I turn on the microwave as my main source of heat. The cats hate the microwave and scurry whenever I turn it on, all seven of them. My greatest joy is choosing what frozen meal I get to fire up for my dinner. Then I discovered this book and things changed. Instead of only eating pre-made meals, I can now put my artisan skills to the test. I do recall being somewhat of a rock star in my home ec classes.I am now making delicious spare ribs and seafood muffins (see page 141) and having a banquet with my cats. The other day I made a wonderful Rhubarb Pudding Cake (see page 211) and had a birthday party for Mr. Pawly Shore. I don’t know when his birthday actually is so I just go by the date that I got him from the shelter. I’ve learned to double-up and even triple-up on the ingredients so that I can make extra servings for myself the next day. When you know you’re going to be eating alone tomorrow again…might as well make extra.

Fantastic Cookbook
This is a great cookbook. Perfect for a young bachelor! My favorite recipe is the hotdog recipe! It always comes out warm and juicy! The suggestion of putting it on a bun with ketchup and mustard makes it even better than I’ve ever had! Perfect for a summer BBQ! This even works for the Stoffers meals for one! I’ve always struggled with them being too cold and frozen solid, but this book taught me what I needed to warm up that single serve lasagna!This week I’m hoping to try out the popcorn recipe and I’m sure it’ll turn out great!

Your bitter, salty tears will make a great seasoning for any recipe in this book.
Quite overpriced for what it actually is, this makes a lovely gag gift for the single friend in your life who has a good sense of humor and wants a recipe on how to make a mummified chicken in just under 3 hours using little more than your microwave and a fire extinguisher.

Old and tired and not what it purports to be
This is microwave cooking made difficult and confusing. Why would anyone cook something in a skillet and then finish cooking it in a microwave. This is life made difficult and a waste of $.

Dr. Jaster M. Illusion –
This book is as sad as it sounds, really. However there’s some nice tricks in there how to make a fast, small meal from leftovers and it is also a nice piece in a collection of creative, uncommon cooking books.Thus it is perfect for what it is.

Très complet, il a des recettes variées, plein de photos et beaucoup d’innovations accessoires.
