Oh baby, oh baby! You are gonna love this. We bought a grill with a side burner a few years back, and the side burner is practically my favorite part. you can boil corn on the cob while you're grilling whatever else you're having, or pasta, boil brats and then throw them on the grill, and...

Favorite = lemon thyme. It's so subtle and elegant...*sigh* Least favorite = epazote. Evil stuff--charred rubber tires with an attitude. Yuk!

There comes to mind an old design for a low temp dehydrator that involves old window screens, shelving cleats, a slat-wood box, and a light bulb inside for heat. A larger version of the Easy Bake Oven, without the intensity:glare:

Be careful about the dehydrator you use. I bought one, and it only has one temp setting, and pretty high at that. I'm guessing it's set to dry jerkies and meats at a high enough temp to be safe. In any case, it crispy crittered a batch of thyme in a flash, and I had to throw it (the thyme) out...

I make mine in the coffee maker. Fill with water, hang tea bags in the empty carafe, and let 'er rip. Take off heating element to a trivet as soon as done dripping through. Be sure to remove the bags promptly, makes a smoother brew.

How about using paper doilies and cocoa powder to stencil designs on top? Or chill a thin sheet of birght jelly or aspic and use aspic cutters to cut shapes? Make chocolate leaves or curls? My mother used to decorate cakes frosted with seven-minute icing using toothpicks dipped in food...

This is a little late, but I'm new here... For another base other than a petroleum by-product, use coconut oil. There are two kinds--one melts at body temperature, the other lower. warm til it melts and add essential oils (be careful, use sparingly), or steep herbs in it and strain. It will...

I was thinking of camomile, the herb, used just like the anis, but in looking at some sites I see that there is a fruta called Manzanillo that your recipe seems to reference also. It is a little tomatillo-like fruit. Is this what you are using?

¡Muchissimas gracias!

Sure! I'd love that, if it's not too much trouble. Or you could just post it en español. Although it might not help other members who could be interested. Anyway, after your post I googled "almibar" and got a lot of Spanish language websites with recipes. I know enough español to...

Oooh--I'll bet it was for the buñuelos, I know those were on the menu. I've searched all over the internet and couldn't find any recipes, only definitions (I know what it is) and sources. Thanks! If you have any recipes, feel free to enlighten me. In the meantime, I'm tempted to...

Mentha spicata = spearmint. Ruffly leaves, sweeter taste than Mentha piperita = peppermint. Darker, smoother leaves with a bite that's missing from spearmint. Grow it as the others have said, adequate water and rich soil. Be aware that it will tend to burn out (a rust, I think) later in the...

I was leaving a popular local Mexican restaurant recently, and the aroma of manzanilla wafting through the parking lot was unmistakable. I couldn't think of a single thing they could be making, outside of tea, that could account for it. I use the usual chiles/cumin/Mexican oregano/garlic/etc...
