I couldn't pick a favorite so we have 30+ fruit trees includind several peaches and nectarines that have different ripenings through the summer; last chance peach is ready now. There's zipper tangerines, oranges, tangelos, blood orange, ruby grapefruits, plums, pears (5 varietiess on one tree)...

I agree on the Spudnuts.

I've eaten figs all my life because my grandma had a fig tree that covered an acre. My fig tree is a long way from an acre. I think we need to go into the fig business... a buck a fig? Forget those grapes.

The recipe we use is much like the Chef Michael Symon recipe but seems to use less ingredients. My kid insisted they were as good as the carnival guy makes them. They were so easy to make and way cheaper than the carnival corn dogs. Corn Dogs 1 cup flour 1/2 cup corn meal 2 tsp sugar 1-1/2 tsp...

60 ounces of sauce? Or 4 eight ounce cups for a total of 20 ounces of sauce? I think 60 ounces (almost a half gallon) would have made enchilada soup. A nice Hispanic lady took me aside long ago to inform me that my husband-to-be loved enchillada and gave me the secret recipe, specifed flour...

I also freeze flour as soon as I bring it home for at least a few days. No room in the freezer? In the fridg until I make room in the freezer, the in it goes.

I spy!

I was going to say the same thing. Try it. You might invent something new that you like even better. It's happened

I've seen bags of Krusteaz sitting in restaurant kitchens too. My dad used Krusteaz all the time but especially when hunting. And he used beer as the liquid. Our family recipe stays the same as Dad's.

Welcome and good luck ... It's all about choice. At my house, almost everything is an experiement and my husband has a choice... take it, or leave it. If he were to choose "leave it", sorry suppers over, there's the peanut butter jar. The only thing I've promised is that I will not make...

Hi Scott...This has nothing to do with powdered sugar but it was sweet for us. Thanks to a snow storm, we honeymooned in Pollock Pines.

Welcome in. How long was the "sometime"?

My mother-in-law handed me a Betty Crocker Cookbook over 55 years ago. It's pretty beat up but still useable, and I use it.
