I guessed wrong, too.

skeptic7, my mother-in-law cooked authentic Mexican, but I don't. So all I can tell you is that she used green peppers in her Mexican food. I may be going out on a limb, but I think if she were making a chicken pot pie with mole, it'd have green peppers in it.

Thanks for the link, BakerAunt. After I bought my new KitchenAid stand mixer, I thought about buying their flex beater. It's supposed to scrape the bowl as it mixes. Does anyone have this beater? I ended up not buying it because it sticks batter to the sides of the bowl. I figured I'd feel a need to scrape the bowl and didn't want to plunk down that much money to still be scraping the bowl. If you have one, does it really eliminate scraping?

Thanks, skeptic7, I'll omit the egg yolk. I hope to make this soup this weekend. Will report back about it.

My husband bought a pound of Brussels sprouts so I can make the recipe linked below. It calls for mixing an egg yolk with cream at the end. I assume that's to thicken the soup. I don't want an egg yolk in it for medical reasons. Anyone have an idea what I can substitute for the yolk?

I knew this, and it must mean only that I read it somewhere. Have no idea where.

In the video, the Level 2 home baker said her grandmother brushed the dough with milk before adding the filling (to rolled out dough). Anyone know why she might have done this?

I made a double batch of Carrot Soup this morning. Except for tonight's supper, it's going into the freezer.

I'm glad you posted this link, Mike. You've mentioned before you made a small batch of cinnamon rolls. I've wondered where you found the recipe. I can't use cream cheese, so I'd make a powdered sugar icing with far less fat.

Here's my issue with cinnamon rolls. I adore KAF Cinna Buns recipe. The only time I made them, I ate one and froze the rest for future weekend treats. But my brain wouldn't ignore the fact that they were so close to me. I ate them during the week by microwaving to thaw. I ate them the first weekend, and I had some leftover to eat the next week. I ate every one of those things, except for the one my husband ate! Talk about too much fat. It's on my list to make a batch for neighbors. Problem is I have to coordinate with them when they arise and want breakfast so I can deliver them warm. Thus far, I haven't done that.

So I'm definitely a candidate for this recipe, Mike, and thanks for giving us the link. Unfortunately, I don't have a 6" or 7" square dish. At least not that I can picture right this second. Mike, what container do you use for this recipe?

Thanks, Mike & Aaron. I like the idea of wrapping the dough in oiled plastic wrap, Aaron. I'll do that next time before putting in bags to freeze. I have wondered whether I could let it thaw on the counter to use same day. Now I know I can. Thanks, Aaron.

I agree, Mike, the cinnamon roll episode is good. And, it made me realize I'm a Level 2 cinnamon roll baker, not 1. Guess I'll have to get busy soon and make cinnamon rolls to go with the chili I made during the summer and froze for my Nebraska experiment.

I made KAF's Nor or Later pizza crust and put half in a plastic bag in the freezer. When I took it out 3 days ago to thaw, I left it in the bag. Should I have put it in an oiled bowl instead?

I'm turning it into Artichoke Pizza for dinner.

[Italiancook]

I'm somewhat sure I knew the answer from something Mike had posted in the early days of this site.

[Italiancook]

Mike, how do you know the recall also affects KAF AP? I just checked their website and searched "recall," and didn't come up with anything except recipes.

I don't have a Cusinart, which is what I think your machine is, BakerAunt, but I'm please with how the pasta attachment works on the KitchenAid. So I imagine many machine noodles in your future.

BakerAunt, I've been meaning to tell you & apologize for not doing it sooner. Regarding raccoons and garbage cans, my trash collection company offers a raccoon-proof device for garbage cans. Free of charge. It works somewhat like a bungee cord, but is not that. We've tried bungee cords, and the raccoons just take it off. I don't understand why the raccoons can't remove the trash companies device, but they don't. I learned about this from a friend, and it also keeps the raccoons out of her garbage cans. They're small enough that the trash company mails them to me. Ask for 2 or 3, because the occasionally disappear when the trash man dumps the can into truck.
