I've tried several recipes which use the cream. It's not result which I am seeking. I've got in mind seriously gooey extra sharp cheddar, garlickly crusty potatoes. Mild flavored heavy cream based sauces are not my thing. I like " in your face" rather than subtle flavors. I will hit on what...

Have you ever tried apple butter instead of apple sauce? It doesn't save calories, but it is wonderful in bran muffins. Besides, I still have 3 doz pints of apple butter from the fall of 2012 and I am scrambling to use it before it goes bad. My apple butter is seriously thick and supper...

Mild--love spicey but my ulcers don't! Bagels--pumpernickel or sun-dried tomato?

I worked 7 summers at a canning factory. To this day I cannot abide canned peas. It's the smell. It takes me back to to the silage smell in the plant (they sell the shells, etc to farmers for silage, so nothing gets wasted.) I still like canned corn, but I remember working on the sorting...

Yum!

Tea leaves--especially sun tea! Navy beans or Great Northern beans? (I'm making pork neckbone vegetable soup with beans for tomorrow)

Cheese, but it must be grilled or at least melted. Bisquick dumplings or real homemade bread-like (Czech style) dumplings?

There is a marvelous little family butcher shop in the next county. They deliver to our town. They butcher local hogs and beef. Their meat is excellent, but I always have to request special cuts as they cut a chuck roast about1 1/2" thick (technically that's a steak). I request 4" chuck...

Bay leaf and garlic, actually. But thyme will do if fresh. French toast made with Texas toast or baguette?

What a marvelous site. Thank you!

Recipe link? I make a toffee every year, too. I like to toss in toasted cashews and leave off the chocolate on top some times. :chef:

Im already preparing for my holiday baking and candy making. I'm thinking that I'll do more candy and less cookies this year. I make about 20 cookie/candy boxes for neighbors and friends for the holidays, and I want to put in some new things this year. I especially love fudges and truffles...

Oh yum! Haven't made them in a while. Do you make them in traditional pockets or in a 9x13 with the crust on top?

I may try planting some of those smaller Japanese eggplants next spring. So good grilled!
