FrdmLvr, I forgot about that butter. That is way too much and I would never put that much in it. I think I'll stick to my tried and true. It looks just like yours, shiny and pretty. I haven't tried it in a pastry bag yet 'cuz it's sticky. I've got lots of frozen egg whites in the freezer, freeze em in ice cube trays. That recipe was from Canada or England with the measuring.

I found a recipe for bakery frosting that I love, it's easy and makes enough for 24 cupcakes with swirls. So I will mainly use that now except for chocolate. I discovered penuche frosting for the first time in my life and that it yummy! So I'll try swirling that on cupcakes although it hardens fast.

Silentgypsy, I thought my contributions were a little too simplistic for this thread because it started with what, to me, are more contemporary things people like now. Thanks for your post. Lots of barbeque (I like certain kinds) and ways to use veggies from the garden. I hate zuchinni unless it's cut up in tomatoes or raw, for example. I do ear more yellow squash now.

That recipe would be easy to remember. I'll compare it to what I'm doing now. The part I hate the most is rolling and no way around that. I try to find shortcuts in later years and use them so long as they taste good. A lot of things I just guess and dump and they turn out fine. Some recipes I follow to the letter.

I don't feel like cooking today ;-(
