      I'm sure you know that Lemon Curd is a dangerous substance, you need to get rid of it as quickly as you can, I recommend getting rid of it with a spoon and a batch of scones! 🙂

        Nice websurfing, Laura. $30 (more or less) is not an unreasonable price, but I wonder what shipping/import duties would be?

        I need to print a portion of that webstore page out so that I can show people EXACTLY what I'm after.

          I made some bone-in chicken breasts that had been marinated in Marsala wine and mustard for 8 hours. I did them on the outdoor gas grill, since it was in the high 90's today.

            These days I'm increasingly likely to measure small amounts of ingredients using my small digital scale, which weighs in 0.1 gram increments. I started doing this with pie doughs and filling, where I had the recipe in Baker's Math format.

            I may try looking for a rosetta stamp at J. P. Graziano Grocery in Chicago, if anybody in this country knows where to find one, it'll be them.

              Here's a thread on rosetta rolls that I don't recall from the last time I searched on that subject:

              https://figjamandlimecordial.com/tag/homemade-rosetta-rolls/

              It looks like she's trying the types of stamps more readily available in the USA.

              I found remilled semolina flour on Amazon, if there was an Italian grocery store in town, I'd check there. Maybe I'll be able to find some when I'm in Chicago this fall or have my wife/son check the Italian grocery store in Monroeville PA when she's there later this summer. (They could have the right stamp, too, worth at least asking.)

                As I recall, the recipe in the middle of that thread (in Italian) made some of the best hard rolls I've ever made, even if I didn't get a hollow center like the original rolls.

                  Would they use metric measurements? Try searching for 'metric measuring spoons'.

                  Wasn't it Frick who was going to look around for a true Italian rosette stamp when she was there a year or so ago? Did any one save the 'Bread I had in Italy' thread from the old BC?

                  Followup: Rottiedogs has posted that thread. Thanks!

                    I'm hoping to coach him through getting signed on here soon.

                      I've got one that does 6 mini bundt cakes that we got for $1.00 at a garage sale, I just haven't had an excuse to use it yet. (I'm not sure the person selling it had ever used it.)

                      My wife is on an ultra-low carb diet this month, so I'm not doing a lot of baking and my cooking repertoire is somewhat restricted, too. (Her target is 20 carbs/day, that's one hot dog bun!) We've been having a lot of steak, not a lot of carbs in steak.

                        That's a big relief! Thanks for the update.

                            Looks like it's either a problem with her webhost's site or with their DNS server, both appear to be run by the same entity.

                                Years ago I found a birthday card for my wife's stepmother that had her in stitches for quite a while, I wish I had bought a dozen of them!

                                Outside: In honor of your birthday, a tree has been planted in your name in Israel.

                                Inside: Your day to water it is Tuesdays.

                                  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.
