I made a doctored-up spaghetti dish with turkey meatballs, ground beef and sausage. I think the splash of sweet vermouth really made it spark!

Ok. I baked brownies ( 9x9 ) and added 1 1/2 tsps. of ancho chile powder and 1/2 tsp chipotle powder and 1 1/2 tsps. of cinnamon. If I do this again (because these additions do ramp up the flavor) I would MAYBE add a pinch of chipotle powder or none, but I would add the other powders.

Know thyself and know thy slow cooker. I decided to cook a chuck roast in my new slow cooker. My old slow cooker which I had forever was so slow on "low" that I had to drape a towel over the top to get anything cooked. Well my new slow cooker ( Crock- pot brand) is like "Speedy Gonzales" on the low setting. I may have to turn it to warm toward the end of the recommended cooking time.

Found this:
Chocolate-Kahlua Walnut Tart

Ingredients

Crust
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
3 tablespoons heavy cream
1 egg yolk
2 cups toasted walnuts, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Filling
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup dark corn syrup
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
2 tablespoons heavy cream
3 tablespoons coffee liqueur, such as Kahlua

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. To prepare the crust, pulse the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor until combined. Add the butter and pulse until coarse crumbs form. Whisk together the heavy cream and egg yolk in a small bowl. Slowly pour the heavy cream mixture into the feed tube and pulse until the dough begins to come together; form into a disk.

With lightly floured hands, press the dough evenly onto the bottom and up the sides of an 11-inch tart pan with a removable bottom, making sure to press the dough up to the rim. Bake until lightly browned, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a rack. Sprinkle the walnuts and chocolate chips evenly onto the bottom of the crust.

Meanwhile, to prepare the filling, combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, butter and cream in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the coffee liqueur. Pour over the walnuts.

Bake until the mixture is bubbly around the edges, about 15 minutes. Cool on a rack. Serve warm or at room temperature. Tip: If the pie crust puffs up while baking, gently

Oops! That amount is for the crust not the filling. Sorry.

I sent a message to food.com and it looks like they fixed the recipe! It now says 3-4 Tbls of heavy cream.

Used my leftover baby back rib meat to make pork tacos with lettuce, cheese and a little hot sauce. They turned out pretty good.

In my deck planters I am growing basil, dill, chives, parsley ,mint, lemon grass, tarragon, rosemary, thyme and sage. Twice the planter in the front of my house was attacked by a rabbit. The first time the rabbit ate the flowers but this last time the flowers were ripped out and not eaten?? Maybe I am wrongly accusing the rabbit this last time?

Baker Aunt I'm always trying to use up freezer and pantry items that have been hanging around too. Sometimes I feel like I'm a contestant on Chopped and I always come out the winner. Well I don't win any money of course.

I just made potato salad (using up 3/4 of the baked potato I didn't eat) to go with the grilled tuna steaks and corn which we will have for dinner. It's a good thing I used the plastic egg timer in the water because the egg would not have been hard boiled after the 3 minutes suggested online.

I received mine last week and put my request in in January. Call me crazy but I have been using the old blade anyway. I guess you call that "living on the edge". Ha ha.

I made" grilled pork tenderloin with molasses sauce". I actually baked the pork and accidentally substituted maple syrup for the molasses. I won't make that mistake again. It was definitely edible but did not have the pizzazz the molasses version had. And here I thought I was accidentally on to something.

Hey!

Guess what I found in my saved recipes??? Yup Jozy's cc recipe! It is unconventional in that it calls for shortening and canola oil and cream of tartar which is probably why no one saved it. Anyway in looking online I did find some interesting cc recipes ie. calling for cornstarch and cake flour!?
So now I am a happy camper and if anyone wants the recipe let me know and thank you for chiming in.

Maybe I don't like change but I am going to miss Mary and the other 2 women. At least hunky Paul Hollywood will still be on the show.
