And in particular these browies;

Make any old brownie recipie, I use Dark Chocolate mixes if possible. If not I sprinkle dark Chocolate chips and and 1/2 Table spoon of "Pumpkin Pie Spice". bake according to directions I do an 8"x8" pan, buttered and sprinkled with some of the mix to make a thin film that peels off real good.

But this is is the real secret. Get some World Market Hazlenut and Dark Chocolate, and while the Brownies are still hot, drop...

My extended family gets together and invites others who might be "lost souls" so it can be huge. We're thinking around 20 this year... I am fixing a turkey, doing "dressing stuffed" mushrooms and making a peanut butter/chocolate pie... I'm brining my turkey for the first time...has anyone brined a turkey?

Fake Crepes

feeds@yuku.com (Eliza DoLots) — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 21:27:30 GMT

Okay....they are more like sweet pancakes....but I've made them twice now and both times they were a hit. It's so easy. I used a "add water only" buttermilk pancake mix and instead of water used lemon lime soda. Mix it a bit thin. It cooks up to be light and crispy. You can taste the lemon.

I filled them with a cream cheese/sour cream/sugar mix.

When I did it for breakfast, I just topped that with some powdered sugar.

When I did it for dessert,...

Onion Rings

They are sort of a thing unto themselves.

I've posted about the use of PANKO breadcrumbs....but now, I have to add something else Guy from the food network told me:

Dry the onion out before starting the "dredge" process. He said to do it in 2 steps and maybe he's right. His idea was to bring the onion home, cut the ends off and peel it...then let it sit in the fridge for a day...then slice it thin and put it back in the fridge for a day....he said that...

Panko Bread Crumbs

Okay...if you watch the Food Network, you've heard of Panko Bread Crumbs. After endless cooks talking about how they "just had to use the Panko for the crunch" I decided we had to try them. That was last month....we're on our 3rd box now.

If you haven't heard about them, they are made from the soft white part of the bread. They are larger and fluffier than regular bread crumbs (which are made from the crust which has been toasted). They really soak up the...

Your favorite kinds of CAKE!!!

What are your faves?

For me:

German Chocolate

I have no idea how this is going to turn out

feeds@yuku.com (Padre Mellyrn) — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 19:54:09 GMT

but I started with homemade cherry preserves, add some lemon and orange juice to dissolve it, then add a cup of sangria wine. Put the sauce in the microwave, and cooked for about 20 minutes.

Then I took some awesome lean Pork Chops, and sprinkled Italian herbs on one side, put narrow slits on the other side and spread apple preserve. Let sit for 10 -20 minuts, then put it all in a ziplock bag and let steep for 14 plus hours, then take out and BBQ on low for about 5 minutes a side....

Recently I tried pomegranate raspberry pilsner from Michelob. It's not bad. Just saw it at walmart for the first time like a week or two ago, and yesterday for the first time I saw Michelob's lime cactus... going to their website, I see another flavor, Tuscan orange grapefruit, which I haven't seen yet in the store. What's funny is these 3 flavors are apparently for summer, which is now over. Which makes me wonder if that means they'll be gone soon, even though they just got here. I wonder if...

or maybe not so secret, but an especially good "homemade suace" for what ever; it can be a 'one shot deal' - i.e. good for fish or beef or pork only - or it can be a 'combo deal' where it works in many places, and on many levels.

Pie

feeds@yuku.com (elizadolots(d)) — Sun, 22 Jul 2007 21:06:27 GMT

Ever since seeing WAITRESS I've been convinced that I need to make pies.

If you've seen the movie, then you know that her pies all have very complex, odd and often negative names.

So far, my pies have been named after my dogs.

The first one was: Dirty Dog Pie.

A quiche. To the basic crust add 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg. Fill with cooked bacon, chopped spinach and grated smoked gouda. Cover filling with 3 beaten eggs.

Cook at 350 degrees about 35-45...

'Bland' British food goes Indian
By Geeta Pandey
BBC News, Delhi

A celebrity British chef hopes to woo "over-spiced" Indian palates with her version of "bland" British food.
Manju Malhi is in the Indian capital, Delhi, to present a 40-part television series promoting British cuisine.

Curry has colonised Britain in the past few decades and thousands of Indian restaurants have been set up there.

India too has accepted Chinese, Italian and...

Cool two meal deal!

For those who like pork, I did a great, 2 meal thing.

I don't cook every day or even every other day now so on I find I'm enjoying cooking much more.

Sunday I did a stuffed pork roast. For the two of us, the roast was about 2 and 1/2 pounds.

The stuffing was 8 ounces of feta, crumbled, one 10 ounce package of spinach, drained and 2 teaspoons of sundried tomato pesto...I cut a "hole" down the center of the roast stuffed, it as full as I could and then sewed up the end...
