      Recipes fall into an interesting area under copyright law, as I understand it. Facts, ie, the list of ingredients, cannot be copyrighted. However, the specific instructions for how to make something is copyrightable. But a little rewording of it usually gets around that.

      So post away.

      in reply to: Substituting Asiago for Gruyère in a Pizza Recipe? #17089

        I always think of Swiss as a less pricey Gruyere, though most Swiss sold in America has little resemblance to the stuff made in Switzerland and usually sold as Emmental here. I think Asiago is a bit stronger than Gruyere, but I like it. If you have Jarlsberg on hand, it would probably work well, too.

        When we make pizza on flatbread, we like a combination of Mozzarella and Havarti.

        My go-to cheese for cooking is often a four-cheese blend that we get at Sams, it has Parmesan, Asiago, Provolone and Romano.

          My guess is this is one recommendation that is seldom followed in most homes.

              Well, this morning there's a notice on the Kitchen Krafts site about the owner retiring and announcing a sale.

                We've got heat warnings the next several days, likely to hit 100+ here. Typical middle of July for Nebraska, though.

                  I don't get their emails, but I don't see anything on the Kitchen Krafts site about their retiring. I think it is a small business with only a few employees, though. It'd be a shame, they carry things that are difficult to find elsewhere.

                    We had tuna melts tonight, with some locally grown tomatoes from a roadside stand.

                      I appear to able to order those chiles online through WalMart, 2 jars for $5.72, including shipping. You might see if you can.

                        As I noted in another thread, we did tacos with the first tomato from our garden.

                          We had tacos tonight using that tomato, just enough for the two of us.

                          Some places in central Nebraska, 150 or so miles west of us, got 6-9 inches of rain in a single day earlier this week, lots of flooding, even I-80 was closed for a while. It's just been a really tough season for farmers, it wouldn't surprise me if we get a long hot dry spell now.

                            We got our first tomato of the season today, a Fourth of July tomato about the size of a ping pong ball, but there are a number of green tomatoes on other plants, some Early Girl and some Romas. With the hot weather, I don't think we'll see many more fruit set the next few weeks, but if we get a cool spell later on like we did two weeks ago I expect we'll get a bunch more to set then. The plants are ready to set fruit, just need the cooler weather to do it.

                              Congrats on the test drive, hope you like the results.

                                I'm making Austrian Malt Bread tonight, freeform rather than in a loaf pan, at my wife's request. (She wants the bread to go with the strawberry jam we made a few weeks back, I think.)
