      I baked the layers for Beatty's chocolate cake from Ina Garten and put them in the freezer to frost on Sunday. After making the buttercream which is sort of sad because it was too hot, the cake went right back in the fridge - good thing too since I'm not able to deliver the cake until today. While the buttercream didn't fluff, it did hold together and has a smooth consistency.
      My main issue is that it called for 2" deep 8" pans or 9" for depth. I had to use the 9" so the cake is a little shorter than I'd like and I did remember to bake it for less time. I'm definitely heading over to BB&B to replace my 8" pans soon because I know they'll have to order them for me.

        Of the Hostess products, I always liked Twinkies and Snowballs - you could peel the coconut/marshmallow covering (I don't dare call it frosting) off. I preferred Drake's Yodels to HoHos. But I don't think any of them taste the way they used to, so it's easy to pass them by.

          Mike, I need to edit the threads I saved. Are we to post all the comments as well? I think that's part of what makes them worthwhile. We can also probably add tags for those that veered off-topic

              Wonky, I also replied over on Zen's site. I'm pretty sure that rottiedogs saved your recipes as well. She is on swirth's email list. You could write her directly in case she's not checking in very often yet.

                  I think the hardest part was deleting the bookmark . . .

                    I just checked out of curiosity. I hit the refresh button and it still showed me logged in. Sarah, what's the link to the recipe? Maybe I can get it . . .

                        Italiancook, I just bought some Bob's Red Mill semolina at my local health food store. I'm gearing up to FINALLY try out the baking steel that a friend gave me last year. I've confirmed the proper temp to set my oven. I'm just trying to find the time when we can all be home for dinner

                          Well, I use the Barilla no boil sheets frequently and you DO NOT soak them. Just follow the directions in the recipe or on the box and they are great. They have a nice texture, neither too tough or too soft. If I pre-cooked them I don't think the texture would be as good.

                            Italiancook, what a lovely post and welcome. We were hoping new people would come and join us. I'm glad your health is doing better. Please post as often as you can and share your baking adventures with us.

                              I made these stuffed peppers
                              http://www.foodiewithfamily.com/lightened-up-greek-style-stuffed-peppers/
                              only I used vegetarian crumbles instead of ground turkey because I don't like ground turkey. They were really good and I liked her method of cooking peppers. The peppers came out perfectly. Often they are too watery or too crunchy. I might try them with ground lamb sometime.
