Thanks. I hope so.
This is cool! My mom made pies in muffin tins and I've always wanted to try it but I was concerned about how it would release from the tine. But with a mason jar you can push the lid up through the ring!
I make strawberry shortcakes in (used) jam jars. I layer some whipped cream, then biscuit, then strawberries and more whipped cream.
BA, I have emailed the BRM folks but have not received a reply. I will let you all know if/when I do.
It's not discontinued it is just not available in 3lb bags. I use cake flour in my pizza dough (cake flour, WWW, flax meal, and sometimes chickpea flour). I probably use a pound a week just for pizza so a 25 pound bag is probably better for me economically if I can figure out how to break it down store it.
Of course if I'm buying big bags I can go to the restaurant supply and then I can buy the Queen if I want it! Not sure how big those bags are.
Or the brownies are locked up...
I've wondered about frostings and is the safety margin for frosting made without dairy or eggs longer than frosting with dairy and/or eggs?
I made dozens of cupcakes for a graduation party at my cousins'. I made a white velvet cake from the Cake Bible and a chocolate fudge cake from a Rosie's cookbook. The fudge cake is my favorite cake and the white velvet is my family's.
My wife made the frosting and decorated them.
I tried something new with the fudge cake and added three tablespoons of flour and they had a nice cupcake bump that they do not usually have when I follow a cake recipe. That may also be because I have not been filling the paper cups enough. I'll need to experiment more.
The white velvet cake calls for four and a half egg whites (which is stupid - but it also has a weight measure). I always looked for things to do with the egg yolks and noticed (after MANY years and MANY white velvet cakes) that the recipe immediately preceding it calls for five or six yolks! Problem solved but that also means A TON of cake even for a family of five with two teenage boy which makes us consume food like a family of ten.
Whole Foods is now carrying "ruby cacao bean" bars. They have the same ingredients as a milk chocolate bar but use ruby cacao beans and have a percentage point higher cacao. They have a tangy, fruity taste. The folks working at WF think they are white chocolate that was dyed pink for Valentine's Day. I offered to share my bar with the folks I was talking to but there were no takers. They probably just wondered who the weird old guy was.
Yup. I haven't seen this any place yet. I haven't even seen any finished chocolate to try. The locals haven't even heard of it! I didn't see any at Max Brenner in Boston either. There is some stuff on Amazon but it's spendy without being able to see or smell it.
The Chocolate Man doesn't have anything about it at all! I'll check out some restaurant supply stores and chefs here.
I also asked my brother to check with his neighbor who works for Callebaut in Chicago. We'll see what he sends back.
I wondered if this were the poop coffee beans but apparently it isn't. I love coffee. I've cut way back since I was sick (I'd been off completely) but I drink a couple cups a week. I do not know if I will ever have enough money to pay $75 for a cup of coffee.
Len, if it were decaf, it would likely be MORE expensive as it requires extra labor to take out the caffeine!
We have it at WF here. It's a good, inexpensive cut of meat if cooked right.
This is HILARIOUS!
And drying your hands with a towel is apparently important too.
My car was probably an anomaly and it was not a Subaru. My Subaru ran well for 13 years until I replaced it with a Mini. It is probably still running well today.
Many cars today do have massive batteries because they have tons of electronics. That makes them hard to jumpstart. The old jumpstarted I used for years just doesn't have the guts and even the one AAA carried with him didn't work so he had to hook it up to his truck battery.
Jump starting technology will have to catch up if it hasn't already.
I made scones for mother's day and grating frozen butter and sliced my finger! First time I have ever done that with all the things I've grated. Fortunately no blood made it into the scones!
BA, I had a similar problem with my two year old car. And, like yours, it needed a big engine to jumpstart it because the battery has become so big to supply all the electronics. Turned out my rear window defogger was stuck on and the switch needed to be replaced.
Best of luck.
KAF is doing much better with info about flour on their bags. But there website needs to catch up. And I am looking for something that says if there is a correlation between the nutritional protein and the gluten-protein and what the connection is if there is one.
Thanks for the ideas. I'm looking for something without alcohol because it's a sauce I would use with my kids. Based on the few times they have taken a sip of my drink they don't like alcohol and I don't want to encourage them. I know most of the alcohol burns off. I could try hard apple cider which tastes like cider but has some alcohol in it.
I'll try a few different things.
