      I found buttermilk pancakes are thicker and fluffier than the ones made with milk even if I add extra baking powder to compensate for the lack of acid- baking soda lift. I do taste a pancake but its a back ground flavor to the real maple syrup, or butter and jam , or fruit piled on top.

      I made chocolate orange quick bread on Friday night. This was my normal recipe except I used dark Karo corn syrup instead of honey, and half and half instead of buttermilk. I also use 4 teaspoons of baking powder instead of 2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda since none of the liquid ingredients were acidic. It rose fine, and the batter had the right consistency; but it didn't taste as sweet. Is honey sweeter than corn syrup? I wanted to use up the dark corn syrup which I had bought for a chocolate cake so I thought I'd see what would happen in a quick bread recipe.

        I prefer the cooked sushi ( broiled eels mainly) and vegetarian sushi to the true raw fish sushi.

          I got it! I don't think I want to try to eat it, but "edible" means not poisonous and vaguely nutritious, not "tasty" and "pleasant"

                  I remember the egg timers.

                    I did a Vegan pumpkin cranberry bread, using 1 tablespoon of ground flax seed mixed with three tablespoons of water for an egg substitute. I also used maple syrup for the sweetening since Vegans have an objection to honey.

                          I did KAF Apple Challah bread Friday, leaving out the sugar and using all whole wheat flour. I thought it appropriate for New Year's celebration since the Jewish New Year stars apples and honey. I had to leave out the honey and sugar. I took it to a Science Fiction Club meeting, the hostess likes it because it doesn't have any sugar. I baked it in a slow cooker for three hours until it was 190 degrees. Came out very nicely.

                            I did a cranberry- apple pie using fresh cranberries this morning. I was basically using the following recipe with my oil pie crust. I am bringing it to a party tonight so I don't know how it will turn out.

                            The pie was great! Its slightly tart and has an interesting pink color. I was afraid it would be too sweet but it wasn't. All but one piece was eaten and I gave that one away. The cranberries didn't have to be cut up. I gave up using fresh cranberries in bread because cutting up the cranberries by hand was such a pain.

                                  I missed that. I don't like that flavor.
