I just added a 'Start New Topic' entry under the 'Search Forums' tab. That should make it easier to start a new topic. Be sure to select the Forum you want it in, the default is 'General Discussions'.

Another way is to select the category you want to post in from the list in the right hand column (below the list of new recipes), then follow Sarah's instructions.

If I was buying all new pans, I'd lean towards Fat Daddio pans. I've bought several of them and have been quite satisfied with them.

If you poached them rather than hard boil the entire egg, you could separate out the egg white first, and then you could use it in any recipe that calls for egg white, like meringue.

I wish I could remember where I saw that recipe that used cooked egg yolks. I'm pretty sure it was in a cookbook I was reading, not online. I want to say it was a savory recipe, not a bakery item.

I haven't seen Tiger Tails since the 80's. They had raspberry stripes on them and coconut, as I recall.

One of the recalled products is Chocodiles, chocolate coated Twinkies. I don't think I've ever seen one.

The original Twinkies were filled with a banana cream. I think they did try bringing those back after the Hostess sale, but I didn't try one.

I've seen a couple of recipes that called for hard boiled egg yolk, but right now I can't remember where I saw them, or even what kind of recipe it was (cake, pastry, etc.) :sigh:

What is done with the whites from the hard boiled eggs when making such a recipe? I can't say I've ever seen a recipe that called for hard boiled egg whites.

I'm a Ho Ho's addict, but I only buy them when they're on sale, and try to limit myself to one a day when I have them in the pantry--I could eat a box of 10 of them!

I've tried making my own swiss rolls, what a mess!

Yeah, I get some kind of access error every now and then, too, and I'm 'local' to the server so that shouldn't happen. Anyway, I deleted the dup.

[Mike Nolan]

I think you uploaded Kimbob's blueberry crumb cake recipe twice. As much as you uploaded today, I'm not surprised one got duplicated!

Thanks for your superhuman efforts.

[Mike Nolan]

I kind of wondered about that one. I moved it over to the BC threads forum.

[Mike Nolan]

My, Sarah has been a very busy beaver today posting recipes!

[Mike Nolan]

I didn't save and post the comments on my recipes, but I don't mind if people do that. It's a bit more work, but I'd suggest posting the recipe in one post and the comments in a second post, so that when I eventually get something set up to format recipes for printing nicely, I can offer to print them with and without comments. (BTW, in my testing it looks like Chrome does a good job stripping out the boilerplate stuff on posted recipes, much better than IE or Firefox.)

As far as the saved threads are concerned, the comments are an important part of the thread.

I tried making a cake-in-a-pan in a jack-o-lantern mold one year, I used lots of spray and it still stuck badly.

If you line the pan with parchment, it usually peels off fairly well. My wife used that trick and several small loaf pans to make a chocolate circus train birthday cake for our son one year.

I could also set up a separate index for the 'Threads Saved from the BC' forum, at least temporarily, but let's see if that proves necessary.

I'm also thinking about possibly moving the recipes index to the bottom of the page (at least for a while), and increasing the number of recent entries it shows.

[Mike Nolan]

This is a replacement to my earlier reply, since the situation has changed.

One of the plugin tools I'm using has been updated and it now gives me the ability to exclude a category from the 'recent posts' list, so the recent posts list in the sidebar now ONLY shows the categories other than recipes, and I've added a separate list of recent recipes (and replies to them.)

So you can upload recipes from the old BC to the recipes category without them drowning out the discussion.

The top menu item still shows all forums, so I renamed it to 'Latest Goodies'.

OK, I created a new forum titled "Threads Saved from the KAF Baking Circle".
