I've been making candy apples with my best friend and they taste amazing and look pretty good but how can you get rid of the bubbles (I assume air bubbles)? Also, how can I make the coating thinner? The recipe I've been using: 4 cups sugar 1 cup lt corn syrup 1.5 cups water Food color Mix well...

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe cooking too long. I remove it from the heat as soon as it hits the right temp but maybe it's taking too long and perhaps I should turn up the heat to speed the process.

Thanks very much great idea. I will try that tomorrow. I, as I'm sure we all are especially this month, have been very Very busy. Just got a new to me stove and microwave gifted to me. Lots of work ahead to mount the microwave above the stove as our kitchen is not set up for that = moving...

I can make some tastey Pralines but how do you keep them liquid until you can spoon them out onto a pan? I get about 2 out of 12 into the pan then they begin to QUICKLY thicken and set up. They look and taste exactly as my grandmother's used to. When I used to help her with them I remember that...

Surgery, of course, went well if I haven't posted anything since. Thank you all for the uplifting & encouraging words of wisdom. I read this just before I was called back for my surgery & didn't have a chance to respond right away. Feeling much better now.

I'm going for a little procedure Thursday (gallbladder bit the dust - hope I don't). Now, I am a Nurse, & I know how miniscule this is, but since I first found out it's actually going to be removed I've been acting like each meal is my last. A little enencouragement maybe? I have had worse...

This is what I was thinking. Presentation makes a difference in first impressions of food. No thanks. I probably have the same recipe somewhere. Your right though. Where I got the inspiration was from a similar recipe for the same sort of thing. This is really just a lemon pound cake with a...

I can make a pretty decent lemonade cake, but I'm looking for ideas to kick it up a little to make it over the top. Definitely going to add more zest, then what? Ideas welcome.

Well I don't have that kind of talent but. I do have a sweet tooth with Gall bladder problems. So to quench that & keep the fat down I sliced some marshmallows (4 slices each) and topped graham crackers with the slices then broiled until browned and puffy. Spread a thin layer of Tj's cookie...

That's adorable!

Watermelon dehydrates deliciously. It gets nice and crisp and breaks like a wafer yet melts in your mouth almost like cotton candy. It's also amazingly sweet when dehydrated. I would not dare add sugar of any kind. If you like candy & you dehydrate some watermelon, you'll wish you had dehydrated...

Crab salad sandwiches and fresh veggies & dip.

Lately I've been craving seafood and s'mores.

A semi healthy Zucchini bread hopefully.

Hey thanks for the recipe. I can't wait to try it. Sorry it took me so long to respond. Been a little preoccupied - work, life, etc. But am thrilled to get this recipe. I'll have a little fun with it tomorrow and let ya know the results.

Thanks & I agree. Eggs are cheap & nutritional, however I am on a tight budget & could not afford to waste the gas nor to purchase a half carton of eggs. I have to get by sometimes & use what I have on hand. The eggs I thought I had on hand were way beyond out of date. But it's all good.:-) my...

Okay, this is what I did. I used my lemon meringue pie filling recipe and when it was time for the egg yolks instead I added a can of sweetened condensed milk. THEN - I added 4 cups of fresh blueberries. This gave me 2 delicious lemon blueberry pies.

I've successfully subbed out mayo for eggs in casseroles and such but is that possible in, oh, say a lemon meringue pie filling? Normally I don't skimp on ingredients but it's day before pay day. Wallet is lean today. Actually it's downright skinny. So, opinions, advice? Is something like that a...

107 F here today. It's celestial seasons acai berry tea sweetened with strawberries & raspberries today. Hot dogs on the grill, pita chips & hummus. Anyone have a hummus recipe you care to recommend? I'd love to try and make my own hummus.

Ooh. You got 4 degrees on me. Wishing a cool breeze your way.

102 F here. Today it's at least one cup of water before each glass of soda (My personal rule). To keep cool it's homemade guacamole & chips, taco salad, & ice cream - LOTS of ICE cream. Tomorrow there might be some thing icy ending in Rita. TBA... So what are you all doing to conquer your...

102 F. Freaking Sizzling Hot.

Special K cereal with blueberries from my back yard & coffee.

At my friend's house. HE is having barbeque meatloaf, turnip greens, cornbread, macaroni & cheese, & deviled eggs. This man can cooooook.
