Lady Dee, I just saw your post. The cake will stay very moist. I refrigerate what is left over and press a sheet of plastic wrap to the cut sides of the cake. Enjoy!

Love split pea soup! Thanks MIcook, with those vacum packs of diced ham at the supper market that would make this soup supper easy :D I need to try it! I do prefer cooking a big pot of soup on the stove on a chilly winter weekend. I reserve the crockpot for days I go to work.

MIcook, Thanks ahead for trying the recipe, Remember the commercial "let Mikey try it" :lol: :lol: I decided to make my favorite Moist chocolate cake this weekend instead of cookies. We just finished a batch of the soft raisins. So I am cookied out :shock: I posted the recipe for the cake...

This is a very moist cake, the batter is very thin. When I first made it I figured that the recipe had a mistake, not enough flour or the liquid mesurments were wrong. But I made it as written and it became a favorite of mine. Moist Chocolate Cake 2 cups all purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt 1...

Hey Oldcoot, I have a loaf of my onion-dill bread in the oven right now, for tomarrow's birthday lunch at the office along with a big pot of beef stew. I just don't have the time to experiment so I stick to the recipe books. I do like seeing your post and pictures. Now if only I can figure...

Pearl... I just got a Dacor range last fall- love it. I like the way you can turn the knobs all the way to very low without turning them off. Mine is .. gas top, electric oven. Enjoy!

Babba Let me know how they turn out. Can't bake cookies today, don't see my way clear till Wed. Thanks Elf for the recipe.

MIcook Which resort did you get the salad at. :?: I going in May and staying at CB resort. I also want to sneak over to the Poly for breakfast and get the banana stuffed French toast. One of the reasons I enjoy DW is the food and spending the evening at the Adventures Club and the fireworks...

Babba, I am also looking for a good soft oatmeal raisin, It seems that the oatmeal makes a soft cookie hard in a short time. I always go back to my soft raisin cookie recipe that I posted before, boiling the raisins seems to be the key in that recipe.

Hi. MIcook, Hope your daughter likes the bread. I like to mound the dough on a big cookie sheet, I think it looks more authentic that way :lol: I can just picture the green hill sides with white sheep grazing, as I look out the window as the bread cools. My gosh, this winter is really...

Carivor, Hi! I have not noticed the cracking in my quick breads since I have my new oven which is electric, My old oven was gas and the temp was off by about 25 to 30 degrees and very hard to adjust even with an oven thermometer. So Coquille probably has the right idea about the high temp. I...

Oldcoot....That is a beautiful looking loaf :D Is it on the sweet side? And a lovely yellow color. I'll have to try your recipe. Oh I ment to tell you, I tried the cake yeast and when all was done I did not get that yeastie aroma we are looking for, maybe you will have better luck. I just had...
