For what it’s worth, chestnuts + brussels sprouts = awesome. http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/roasted-brussels-sprouts-chestnuts-10000001860031/ Instead of salt, use soy sauce. You won’t regret it.

Comment on Crockpot Caramel Sauce Cooked in a Can by Kathy Schroeder

Kathy Schroeder — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 04:26:54 +0000

I think the only time it explodes is when it is left unattended on the stove, and the water level drops below the top of the can. (Also when one tries to open a can that has not cooled completely. It acts almost like a pressure cooker that someone tries to take the lid off of before releasing the pressure. Hot caramel can go every where. In this time of sue happy people, Eagle Brand felt saying don’t do it was better than getting sued because someone got hurt not following the directions properly.

Tori, Larry bought our Bijol at a Food 4 Less near downtown LA because I refused to pay a $9 online shipping for a $2 shaker of spice, LOL.

Comment on Mmmm Kahlua Chocolate Cupcakes with Kahlua Buttercream Frosting by Worth The Whisk

Worth The Whisk — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 23:15:35 +0000

THANK YOU Martha May, I appreciate your “working with the recipe” to come out OK for you. Strangely, the comments are 50/50 on whether this is a workable recipe or not. God Bless your family friends welcoming home their soldier!

Comment on Mmmm Kahlua Chocolate Cupcakes with Kahlua Buttercream Frosting by Martha May Fink

Martha May Fink — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 18:54:36 +0000

I tried these cupcakes for the first time yesterday, and although I try to avoid giving away cupcakes that I’ve never made before, these were for a family who was welcoming home their soldier, and the Father loves Kahlua – so I just had to make them! I’m sorry that I was a little disappointed in the flavor of all things… and they were also dry… (I saw your note about drizzling them, which I should have done, as I think that would help.) Because of your note I did increase the coffee to 1 cup and cut the kahlua to 1/2 cup, but I may add some instant espresso powder to that already-brewed coffee… Also, I noticed that they didn’t call for salt! So – I would add at least 3/4 of a teasp. next time. Also, I think there is a typo in the frosting, as it was not coming together with only 6T of butter. I doubled the butter to 12T, and it was just perfect. The frosting was amazing! I will definitely make these again with these modifications. It made 28 – perfect to try and to give away!
Thank you—-

Wish I could hop into my car this moment and go check out these charms that I have never noticed. Too bad it’s Friday afternoon when I try to stay out of the fray out there. But my curiosity is piqued and I can hardly wait to see them. Thanks for making us aware of these, Patti. If I were to add a charm, based on our Route 66 experience, it would be a wild burro.

Thanks, too, for Worth the Whisk. I am about to make your Australian Coconut Pie.

Wow Patti! This has some of my favorite ingredients in it. Yummy! I love the combo of sweet/spicy/tart. I bet that splash of lime juice is the perfect compliment to the other flavors. And because I am indeed trying to lose a few holiday pounds, I’ll be topping it with a touch of Greek yogurt. Can’t wait to try this!

Comment on Wisconsin Schaum Tortes by Dani

I too am from Wisconsin and can say that i get my share of schaum torte every Christmas. My uncle makes everyone a mini one for Christmas Eve and my grandma makes two giant schaum tortes for Christmas day (one banana and one strawberry). I was shocked to hear that nobody in my foods class knew what it was so i thought i’d try to make it for my final project… this post was definitely very helpful

EvaMae McClure — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 03:03:51 +0000

One of these units came into the thrift store where I work part time. This one has 3 small containers with lids in it. One is divided. Now that I know how it works I may keep it. Does it work at all like a thermos if I make the food to fill the little containers before I leave home? Or are they just for making small servings of whatever in with the hot water you make in the main unit? The store is going to sell it for just a couple or 3 dollalrs I think. There isn’t an instruction book with it but someone mentioned finding a printable one online. If I can find and print that one I’ll inclose it with the until for the buyer if I don’t keep it for myself.
