      Also, Happy Chanukah to members who celebrate it. This year, it coincides with the Christmas holidays.

        Italian Cook--I'm sure that you are correct about the need to drain the fruit. It might also help to have a firmer scratch cake?

          Italian Cook: I'm pretty sure that brown sugar is used in pineapple upside down cake--at least I recall my mother using it. I've no idea, however, what recipe she used. It could have been the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook, or perhaps one of those booklets in those Encyclopedia of Cooking binders.

            Merry Christmas to everyone: to our old and our new members, to those who post and those who lurk. And a big thanks to Mike for creating this space where we can discuss our baking and cooking.

              It's just the two of us. My husband will roast a turkey and bake sweet potatoes to mash up with a bit of sugar and cinnamon. (Neither of us care for overly sweet, sweet potato casseroles.) We will steam broccoli. I baked pumpkin pie for dessert, since it is traditional for my husband to have it on Christmas.

                Frozen blueberries should be fine--perhaps increase the baking time a bit? I'm not sure, but you might wait until the batter has set for those 15 minutes before folding in frozen blueberries.

                  I'm posting a link that discusses how patients who undergo chemotherapy and radiation can lose their sense of taste and smell, and how some neuroscientists and chefs are working toward perhaps helping them regain it. I never thought of food science in this way before. It's a great article:

                    Hi, Luvpyrpom: I have now added the Lemony Cornmeal-Blueberry Muffins to the recipe section here. I'm sorry it took me so long. I hope that you enjoy them--either in my version, or in the original version.

                      I think it looks great! Let us know how it tastes.

                          If anyone actually does these courses, let us know. I'll be retiring next year, so I could actually devote the time to a class.

                            Welcome, Bronx! Thanks for letting us know that the site is now functional. I tried the site again, and this time it is working. Unfortunately, we've just arrived in Indiana for the holidays, and I don't have the complete model number (just know that it is a DLC-7). so I will have to wait until we are back in Texas in January to check.

                              I still saved $12, even with the shipping, and it would have been $14 if I had not wanted them to arrive more quickly. I also saved sales tax.

                                I was actually able to get to a Cusinart page on the recall. It says to fill out a form, but there is no form. I tried calling, but like Italian Cook, all I got was a busy signal.

                                  Fortunately for me, it was cheaper to repair. I want a "Fix-It Shop" like they have on Sesame Street!
