Had a quirky weird thought once about buying a food truck and selling nothing but peanut butter sandwiches. Even started on a menu. Came up with like 20 or so..

Gonna miss you
Raisins and frying do sound good.
Not sure about the rest...:-)
I think I’ll try that this year. ;)
Well, be careful. I think it was a fluke.
A similar thing happened to us with pork chops, once.
We started them in the oven, and then we were called out and had to run an errand. So we turned off the oven.
Over an hour later, we came back and finished cooking them. They turned out to be the tenderest pork chops we’d ever had.
Who knows?
I had this problem with someone in my home too. Bacon!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks to all for your kind words. It means a lot to me that the cooking thread has been useful and appreciated, and it has been my great pleasure to manage it through the years.

You know what they say about low and slow? That sounds like what happened with your pork chops!
Possibly; but since then, we’ve learned that brining pork chops or pork loin makes a real difference, as we’ve learned from Chef Jean-Pierre:

You are a treasure, I hope we will still see you around on FR.
Many thanks for keeping up the thread. Anybody who devotes so much of their own time and effort to the benefit of others is on the path toward sainthood anyhow, but to do so with food involved will reward you with a special place in heaven.
Thank you for keeping this thread going for so long!
I have seen food trucks like that. They seem to do well.
Don’t worry. I’ll continue to be the often-contrary Freeper that I’ve always been...
Thanks for your time keeping this thread going, I’ve picked up lots of great info here!

Cookie Dough Popcorn / kids holiday treat
Ingredients:
3 cups packed brown sugar
3/4 cup corn syrup
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
1½ cups melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
11 cookies worth of raw Cookie Dough
2½ gallons “popped” popcorn; approximately a quart before popping

Procedure:
Mix the brown sugar, corn syrup, salt, butter and vanilla in a sauce pot; boil until bubbly and thick, about 5-7 minutes. While still hot, pour the caramel over the popcorn in a large mixing bowl and use two, long handled, steel kitchen spoons to mix until the popcorn is evenly coated with the caramel.
Next, spread the caramel popcorn onto 2 full sized sheet pans. Cut the frozen, raw cookie dough into small cubes about 1/3rd of an inch each. Sprinkle the diced cookie dough evenly over the pans of caramel popcorn.
Bake at 350° for about 8 minutes, allow to fully cool, then break the popcorn into smaller, bite sized pieces.
