      OK, I will give it a try tomorrow and report back. I'm not the most techy person, which is why I posted only one picture during my time on the BC.

      Part of the issue is that I would have to figure out how to save her pictures into a separate file from which I could then upload for each recipe.

        Mike, I have recipes from Annabelle's Lair, a BC poster who first went by the name Nebelwesen. She has some wonderful looking German recipes, including some from Woodlandgardner "Ulrich". The issue is that she has stunning pictures with most of her recipes, and it is a major loss not to include them, especially since most of us would not know what these German breads should look like. She clearly took great care in how she presented her recipes. However, I notice that pictures are one of the items that get stripped out when I copy and paste a recipe.

        Is there any way that we can keep the pictures with her recipes? If it would help, I can send the file to you.

        Thanks, Bakeraunt

          I have not received any spam e-mail of this type. I even checked my junk and spam files. My workplace is pretty good at bouncing suspicious ones (and sometimes legitimate ones).

          I don't know whether to be angrier at the insurance companies for refusing to cover Cindy's medication, or at the drug companies for charging so much for what patients need.

            Today I added Virginislander's recipes and Dachshundlady's recipes.

            I also adjusted the one by Mumpy's neighbor to just say "by Mumpy."

            I was able to add Altardee's as well.

              Sarah: It was not a limit on the number of times a poster could edit. (I'd be in trouble if that were the case.) The limit was on the number of days in which a poster was allowed to edit. It was ten days, but Mike has changed it to give us all time to catch errors.

                Thanks, Mike! This list is very helpful.

                I went back and corrected the heading on the three recipes from PaddyL, so they should all show up together on the next search.

                Quick Note: The five I posted from Mrs. Cindy were in threads rather than her recipe section. I remember someone (do not recall who) saying she had sent Mrs. Cindy her recipes, so I directed my efforts at saving other people's. Thus, if anyone has Mrs. Cindy's, they will need to be posted.

                  OK, I've added Paddy's, Pmiker's, and Teachingcotton's. Don't worry, I have more, as I am sure Rottiedogs does as well. Zen said that there were 4000 recipes. I'm willing to bet that we will have at least 1000 on this site before we are finished putting them in. Tomorrow, I will work on virginislander's.

                  It would be helpful if we could have a list of whose recipes have been uploaded (or rather cut and pasted) into the recipe site so that we do not duplicate efforts.

                    Mike: I have Paddy's recipes saved. If no one has posted them by this evening, then I will go ahead and do so.

                      Hi, Laura. I did some web-surfing for corn shellers, so that I would have an idea what I might be looking for. There appears to be great variety. Can you give me an idea of what I should be looking for as I cruise antique stores and estate sales?

                        Rascals: Let us know what works. I'm currently working my way through a lot of pecans using a hand cracker. We won't have the pecan tree after we move north next year, but we will have access to a lot of black walnuts in my husband's woods, and those are going to need something really intense (or we will have to find a place that will shell them for us).

                          Bob's Red Mill sends out e-mails if you subscribe to their list. I was able to get free shipping on an order (there was a minimum, but I ordered other products as well), and buying in bulk can also save you money. You should refrigerate barley flour--or freeze extra bags. My husband and I just like the flavor of barley, but I have read that it also helps regulate blood sugar.

                          I just made some wonderful barley scones this morning, so I will post that recipe for you. Coincidentally, I was internet surfing for barley flour recipes today, so I have a couple more to try. I also posted a link to a Martha Stewart recipe for Orange Barley Bread (and the tweaks Kid Pizza suggested) that I plan to try later this week.

                          King Arthur Flour has a recipe for Barley Butterscotch Cookies that uses barley flakes rather than oats in cookies. They also have a wonderful recipe in their wholegrain baking book for a big soft barley cookie, that my husband has asked me to bake for Father's Day. (Those cookies need to be baked on a very heavy baking sheet, or else double-up your cookie sheets. Those cookies bake at a very high heat, and the bottoms will overbrown otherwise.)

                          Pearl barley is also great in soups, or even cooked to be used in place of rice. I'm going to try a new softer hull barley I bought from Bob's Red Mill in soups (probably not until fall)

                          It would probably be a good idea to consult a dietician/nutritionist who can help you work out a plan for your individual case.

                          Best wishes as you cook and bake for health!

                            Thank you, Cwcdesign. These look perfect. I've copied the recipe and will report when I bake them.

                              Happy, happy birthday, Cass! May you have a wonderful day with friends. Your baking advice has made all of us much better bakers.

                                I understand, Mike.
                                Cwcdesign, I will look forward to the recipe when you have time.

                                In the meantime, I found a recipe for Sweet Barley Drop Scones, in Elizabeth Alston's Biscuits and Scones, so I shall bake it tomorrow morning. (I went a little crazy at the Bob's Red Mill free shipping offer about a month ago, so I have barley flour to use.)

                                  Mike, or anyone else, can you recommend an excellent, plain scone that would be delicious with jam, as well as the leftover lemon curd in my refrigerator that is calling my name?
