Just a few of the dishes we have cooked.

So last night I decided to make something with a bag of key limes I picked up... Here's my muffins! :) Dairy free, oil/butter free, and CAN be made egg free. They turned out pretty moist, and I'm happy with the finished product to say the least! :smile: Key Lime Pear Bran Muffins...

I was about to post a question about this, and am so glad I found this thread already... About to read through all of the comments, but am glad to have seen this one in particular!

Thanks for posting this!!!! Cheese is awesome! :D *edit* It's only open to US residents... :( I'm sad, I have to go BUY cheese now. :'( I really am sad about this.

Philso: WOW!!!!!!!! I am SO going to try this, you gave such a great detailed list of what to do, and how to do it! Amazing!!!! :)

:lol: My husband has made that same comment before.. hahahaha

:lol: That's awesome! :lol:

now THAT'S a lot of kids! :lol: I fully agree that that life experience would be equal to, if not greater, than culinary school :lol: (Just don't tell any cooks that went to school that I said that :wink: lol) I agree about that too, how all of these different cultures have introduced us all to...

Beets will make it taste a little odd, I've tried before... lol... For the icing, if you want a deep rich red, stick to the gel/paste food colouring that the above posters have mentioned. I use that when I'm colouring red velvet cupcakes, icing, or rolled fondant, and get great results. If you...

I wish they did... *sigh* I love French food... :smile: Such small and cute portions, presented so nicely... I love going out for that sort of thing.. But yes, the $$ is a huge issue with that...

So, this has been a bit strange for me. I've heard of tastes changing through out life to make it where people suddenly like foods that they used to hate... And this has happened to me in the past few years, which is great! (I LOVE beets now, and not just the pickled ones... :wink: ) But a few...

I'll take 3 bags, please!!! :smile:

What about the restaurants that have mega-undersized portions? Where you're paying $40+ for a cut of steak that you can get from your local butcher (and devine quality!!) for less than $10... Hmmm.. There's got to be a good balance out there somewhere...

It's actually not a contradiction to anything I've said... :p I'm all for leftovers from dinner to make NEW meals with the next day... It's a great way to save $$ for a lunch the next day. Not that I go out looking for restaurants that serve large meals. But if I eat at one, and I get a...

Something with yams... :)

Too much chocolate. :ermm: After having tried to have a carnation instant breakfast shake (not really all that hungry), and it was "sour" with pieces in it... Not a good day for ingesting anything...

OH my!!!!!!!! :ohmy: I'm so curious about that, but don't think that I'm curious enough to seek it out and try it.. hmmm..

Your story is absolutely beautiful... <3

This actually reminds me, one time I was eating out downtown a few years back, I had been served a really large meal... Instead of taking my leftovers home with me, I gave it to a woman who was on the streets and looked like she could really use some food... Anyways, with what I was originally...

That's so strange... The Kicking Horse coffee that has the most caffeine is a darker roast... I wonder why that is? Either way, it's so good... :smile: And the Starbucks Christmas blend IS great, isn't it? :smile:

My mistake! I meant to write "Arabica and robusta" not "arabica and columbian". Oops!! Here's some info, source is listed at the bottom. Hope it helps! The two varieties differ in taste, growing conditions, price. Arabica beans tend to have a sweeter, softer taste, with tones of sugar, fruit...

I know this doesn't quite help with your current recipe, but when I'm making pound cake/cupcakes, I use the Martha Stewart one, and just adjust to my own tastes... I love the brown sugar in it... When I want to make a full cake, I just put it in a cake pan instead of a cupcake pan... Here's...

:lol: awww.... Maybe it's time to try another recipe... :lol: Pound cake isn't supposed to rise that high anyways, it's not a "puffy" cake... I hope you found a way to get it how you wanted though!

The husband... He won't touch a food if it contains/has come into contact with seafood. If you even mention that you were cooking seafood on the same surface as what you're serving him, he won't even touch a fork to what's on the plate. (Funny, he LOVES ceasar salad --mainly the dressing, which...

Hmm... I've only found that I really enjoy the espresso blends at Starbucks (the ones they add to all of their snooty beverages :wink: ), or the Christmas blend that came around this year for Christmas '09... That was a wonderful spicy blend that suited my tastes... As for coffee being...
