I'll have to check out the EVO sprayer. I'd like to get away from the Pam spray since those containers are not recyclable. A small one for canola oil would be great. I have a sprayer from KAF that I bought years ago for water, but I do not recall what kind it is.

Happy Birthday, Swirth! We just arrived in northern Indiana this evening. We had clear weather driving across Illinois (through Urbana-Champaign). Here it is dry, so the rain did not come this far north.

There is no way people will be able to eat this stuff fast enough to make a dent.

In northern Indiana, and some other states, the invasive plants are reed canary grass that overruns wetlands and is often seen growing by the side of the road, non-native cat tails, garlic mustard, honeysuckle, and bittersweet. I've also seen the wrongly named "Tree of Heaven" (which comes from the other place).

Mumpy, Today, I tried your recipe for Peanut Butter Honeys that you had put in your recipe box at KAF. What a great peanut butter cookie--one that is not overly sweet like most such cookies. My husband liked them a lot. I used 50% white whole wheat flour. I used my tablespoon scoop and got 25 little cookies. I'm glad you posted it.

When they try to take my Lyle's Golden syrup, they have gone too far!

I have posted the recipe in the recipe section. I'll be interested in hearing what others do in making it.

I have that size (12x4), by Kaiser, made in Germany. I probably bought it over 25 years ago for a Bischofsbrot recipe that would never bake through in the middle in a 9x5 loaf pan without the edges burning. It's a good size to have.

I'm looking forward to having a garden once we retire and move to Indiana. My husband always does a winter garden here with lettuce and spinach and carrots. The lettuce and spinach have now gone to seed, and he is harvesting the carrots.

Thanks for the answer Mike. I suspect that its ultimate fate will be to become trendy shelving or a plant holder. The antique stores here often have items that are not so much antiques as oddities.

That same store did have a beautiful oak hoosier that had a built in metal trough for kneading dough. I shall never again have a kitchen large enough for such an item, so I just admire it from afar.

[BakerAunt]

Yes, Mike, that picture is what they were supposed to look like. I'll post the recipe soon, if others would like to play around with it.

Hello, and good to see everyone here! I am excited about this new site. Mike has done a great job. I've modified the spelling of my name a bit from the KAF site, so it is now BakerAunt. I chose that name because I'm the aunt in the family who does the baking and sends goodies to family.
