    What are you baking today? | 2013

    My first from scratch. I wanted to take pics of the inside, but after I cut it there was a frenzy similar to sharks feeding. I was lucky to keep my fingers...

    Achiote...

    Ok, I was at the market and this is what I found: This is probably the paste they are talking about. I must admit I am not fond of most of the bottled Goya products as they really lack in flavor. I looked at the label and the main ingredient is lard. That being the case, I would start with a...

    Achiote...

    How much Achiote did the recipe call for..? if its a small amout it is probably just for coloring. If you can't find achiote on its own you might try Saffron as a substitute. But it is pricey. If it is a small amount I might just omit it from the dish.

    Or coat it with numerous coats of plasti-dip or similar liquid rubber product so that the end is not exposed. Google "sugru" problem solved !!

    ISO black knob for KitchenAid mixer

    Take the broken knob to a hardware store. See if they have a kitchen drawer knob that has a similar diameter screw hole. Fill it with epoxy and set.

    What have you had for breakfast lately?

    Thanks everybody !! Hey the pic is right side up too!! This is one of my faves because it is soooo simple to make and only one dish to wash. Grease your muffin pan first. Press the prosciutto into each muffin cup, then fill however you like. On these I put some shredded gruyere and tarragon...

    Crab Cakes

    I used to refrigerate them first, but I haven't in a while. I find that if there is a proper ratio of egg/mayo it binds them perfectly.

    Crab Cakes

    I just had crabcakes this week also. My recipe is similar, but I add chopped red/green peppers and some scallion in the mix as well.

    Perfect Poached Egg

    I was also taught to crack the egg into a small cup, then gently lower it into the water. Never drop them in.
