@polarberry I am not proud of my love of canned cheese, but I can't help it. I also have a hankering for Little Debbies. I just can't keep that stuff at my house! No self-control around old school junk food.
Wow, @ghandigirl ! I don't think i could even make a "Cake" shaped cake, much less a Guitar-shaped cake. So cool!
I'm a native New Yorker, but I think I would like to be an honorary southerner, except for your humidity and your bugs. And maybe the collard greens. I've never had them.
I'm not a cooking show fanatic, but I like to watch the ones where they go down south and show all the restaurants that say they have the best BBQ. I love pulled pork and good cornbread.
Serious question, though-there are two recipes I looked at on the WL. One only has three ingredients and the other (Hart's) has more and is more involved. Is there a difference in the taste, quality and appearance between the two. It just seems like Hart's would taste better, but the picture of the three-ingredient ones looks pretty good.
Funny story-we had a birthday party last week, and my oldest son got a bottle of spray shine for his truck interior. It was wrapped but obviously in the shape of a bottle, and my other son looked at it and asks, hopefully, "Is it spray cheese?" lol
@polarberry Biscuit lovers eat a variety of them.What one may love another may eschew. To me ? Cooking is a creative art... try both recipes and see which tastes best to you would be my advice. I always follow a recipe exactly the first time ... then ... add my own tweaks to suit our tastes. That is how I arrived at the LouAna coconut oil (no coconut taste) and milk kefir ( very much like buttermilk) to make my biscuits now. I still use buttermilk if the kefir is not at the right stage. I also use it to make buttermilk pecan pies etc and to just drink cause I like it. That's cute about your son LOL I read somewhere that cheese works in the brain with the same effect as cocaine... I would think its possible cause I love cheese! Of many varieties!!
@journeywithme2. Truth be told, I would probably love it. Sigh. Who names this stuff? ?
buttermilk pecan pies
I must have! ❤️
I inherited my German grandmother's Mennonite cookbook which features a traditional pecan pie made with dark corn syrup. Always a favorite, but it does not use milk or buttermilk. I'd be interested in the buttermilk recipe.
Here's mine:
1/4 cup sugar 1/4 cup water
1 Tbsp flour 1 cup dark corn syrup (Karo)
1/2 tsp salt 2 Tbsp butter melted
3 eggs, beaten 3/4 cup pecan nuts, whole and pieces
1 9-inch pie crust
Combine sugar, flour, and salt. Add beaten eggs. Combine water and corn syrup and add to mixture. Fold in melted butter and nuts. Pour into unbaked pie shell. Bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes, then reduce temperature to 350 degrees, bake 35 minutes longer.
I also do shoo-fly pie!
@maggieci Here you go!
- Warning!!! This pie is soooo easy to make and sooooo rich!!! and habit forming!!!! I actually add maybe 1/3 cup of chopped pecans.. I eyeball it and when it looks like enough I stop.
Today I am having homemade turkey soup.
I bought 2 uncooked turkey drumsticks and added the following to a pot:
-Mexican grey squash
-carrots and celery
-green beans
-tri colored quinoa
- rosemary (fresh, I have it in my garden), sage, thyme, garlic, salt and pepper
-chicken broth
-lemon ( lemon really makes this taste great imho)
It is really good!
( I would have used an onion but didn't have one ...but really, that was ok).
I am using the leftover lemon for fresh squeezed lemonade with honey
Today - I turned to my comfort zone - cooking. Today? I mastered my sourdough loaf. It was a good day.?
I missed your comment somehow...here is the fish cake...It was chocolate.
I'm an amateur baker but I do sing sometimes and get paid for it, and I have a little art business.
p.s. It's a fish shaped pan
