I made the tilapia with tomato sauce, dill and parsley recipe that I've been working on for my wife (she had been out of town for my earlier trials), she said it almost made the tilapia tolerable. (She much prefers orange roughy, but that's OK because I prefer salmon to tilapia myself.)

I'm still getting emails from KAF, but I seldom look at them, so I don't know if I saw one about free shipping or not.

I have not had as much trouble accessing Zen's site since it moved to the new host, but maybe the site owner interface has issues that users don't see.

[Mike Nolan]

OK, how do you do a 'no-bake' pie? Is it fried?

I haven't seen a lot of posts from Sarah Wirth lately, but she is also a fan of the cooked flour frosting, maybe she'll add her recipe to this thread when she has time.

[Mike Nolan]

As I understand the history on the FAQ entries, they were originally a compilation of threads from the original BC, so putting them in the 'threads' category seems reasonable to me.

I'll see if I can get an updated list of recipes posted by original author later today.

[Mike Nolan]

Yeah, that's the 'modern' frosting (which I prefer), the 'classic' one is the cooked flour frosting. I tried that once, must have done something wrong because it didn't taste very good.

I'll try to get an updated list posted soon, but I've got a major project going live early tomorrow morning so it might not happen today. We're over 1800 recipes now.

Leaving it out for a half hour gives the yeast a chance to get busy, since yeast activity slows down at cooler temperatures, but I don't think it'll be a critical issue.

When you read American Pie, see if you can figure out how the really long pizza (like 6 or 8 feet long) is folded into and baked in an oven that is too small for it to fit, I'm still pondering how that works. If I ever make it back to Italy, I may have to go looking for that style of pizza. (The pizza we had in Turin was the standard round variety, delicious, and obviously very popular with the locals, we must have seen 200 of them go out the door during our two hour meal there.)

[Mike Nolan]

Which type of red velvet icing did you use?

[Mike Nolan]

So far I'm pleased with my new Canon T6i, but I haven't bought a telephoto lens yet. (Lenses are where photography can get really expensive. The Nikkor telephoto lens Sarah mentioned is a $950 lens, which is more than what I paid for my camera body.)

I don't drink wine much, either, but use it a fair amount in cooking. I have some Australian shriraz and cabernet/shiraz wines that are very good in dishes like coq au vin and beef bourguignon.

[Mike Nolan]

I haven't tried it on the oven racks yet, but I've got a spray can of Carbon-Off that removed 18 years of built-up carbon from the stainless steel backsplash on my stove better than hours and hours of scrubbing ever did, so I think it'd do a great job on the racks. I'll have to try that the next time I clean them (and if I do I'll try to remember to take before-and-after pictures.)

Carbon-Off is what professional kitchens use.

It's available at restaurant supply stores in both a spray and brush-on liquid form. Be sure to use gloves and eye protection in a well-ventilated area.

I may have to try this cake in a Boston Cream Pie, I think the flavors would go well. But it's pretty good plain, too, as I haven't bothered to frost it.

I made it with AP flour, I wonder if it would have a finer grain if made with cake flour?

I keep the baking soda in Tupperware containers, too. My wife was a Tupperware dealer years ago. One of her closest friends was also a Tupperware dealer before she passed away and another friend still is a Tupperware dealer, so we've kept up on the latest and greatest from Tupperware. Nearly all my flours are in Tupperware containers and we've got several cabinets in the kitchen devoted to Tupperware. I also use Tupperware and Ikea containers to freeze small portions of stock, so I've got a freezer full of Tupperware, too.
