Sounds good, but I'm not sure I'll ever be able to try it. Every time I cut an avocado it mysteriously disappears. Hmmm. . . where does it go?

Oops! I guess I didn't do the cut & paste thing very well. Didn't mean to make my entry so BIG! Oh well, live and learn.

Jkath - Your summer salad is absolutely delish! In fact, I'm eating the rest of it right now. Thanks for dropping by and bringing lunch. The company & conversation were so enjoyed.

Hey SizzlininIn. . . I think you should join your sister in laws. Seems only fair. I've seen a little of Italy. Hopefully, one day I'll get to Australia. I actually have a couple of friends there so I'd even have a place to stay. Buckytom. . I'm definitely going to try the Black...

Probably more excited about the knowing than the eating.

Eureka! I found it! I now know!!! I may now sleep tonight.

"Oooooh," she says in a soft whisper as comprehension finally sinks in.

Okay. . . . maybe I'm doing something wrong, but when I click on the link I get 50 things to eat before you die. I'm confused. . . which is not necessarily an unusual thing.

Thanks, buckytom. Your Irish accent is so much better than mine! Think I'll need to go to my local Irish pub to brush up. I read about that full irish breakfast. How you can fit that much food on one plate is beyond me. I'm still wondering what black pudding is though. What is it made of...

Thank you! I've wanted to travel to Ireland for as long as I can remember. We used to hear all kinds of stories about my family being nobility. Turns out though that instead of nobility, my ancestors were actually just filled with blarney. . . farmers and farriers they were. (I'm working on...

I'm heading to Ireland at the end of July. (Hurray!) I'll be staying a week in Wexford Co. (Looking for ancestors) then I'll spend two weeks visiting as much of the rest of the country as possible. Does anyone have any thoughts or recommendations on places to stay, restaurants, pubs, foods to...

Thank you southerncook for the suggestion about spreading melted chocolate on the toffee after it sets up. That's the reason I joined this site. . so I could get tips like that. :)

Kansasgirl, thank you again for the recipes. I made the pumpkin mousse this weekend. It was delicious. Now I think I'll try the pumpkin roll.

I use this recipe every Christmas for gifts. It always gets rave reviews. Toffee 2 c butter 2 c sugar 2 T light corn syrup 1 package (11 ½ oz) package of milk chocolate pieces (or semi sweet if you prefer) 1 c. chopped toasted nuts 1/3 c water 1. Line a 15” x 10” x 1” baking pan with foil...

Thank you Kansasgirl for all the delicious sounding recipes. I can't wait to try some of them out - especially the Pumpkin Bread Pudding. I adore good bread pudding & yours sounds delicious. Here's a recipe I just found in "Cuisine at Home" magazine. It also sound really promising:Sweet...

Goodweed, you sound like my sister. A couple years ago in my search for pumpkin pie alternatives I made a pumpkin cheesecake. I thought it was delicious. My family (sister in particular) thought it had a personality disorder - it couldn't decide what it was. And I quote "pumpkin pie...

Wow! Thanks everyone. I can't believe all the great ideas you've already given me. The pumpkin mousse sounds delish and I'm really intrigued by the carrot pie recipe. I can't wait to get cooking. I'd start now but I have to go to work. Hmm. . . Cooking - Work - Cooking - Work - Cooking -...

Now that it's approaching the holiday season, I am looking for alternatives to pumpkin pie. What do you like to bake? A couple years ago, I was served an amazing pumpkin mousse, but I've been unable to find a recipe. Does anyone have one? I'd love to give it a try.
