You have a husband now?! :)
Haha! That is one of my favorite cartoons. Along with one of the cow stripper doing a pole dance ... the bulls in the audience speculate if her udders are "real". :)
I caught the tail end of a conversation on my local talk radio station. They were talking about using Vernor's Ginger Ale on the turkey, but didn't hear the whole thing. Know anything about that recipe?
Please add me to your ping list. Thank you.
Yes ... one of mine, too ... very symbolic of the real man.
Thanks for the great recipes, Carlo. They're good for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
please remove me from your ping list carlo
Leave the fat behind?
Giggling...
On you ping list please, Carlo...
(It's only those 10 pounds +/- I would like to chop off. Thank you)
'bout a month ago, I got a box of my grandmother's cookbooks from my aunt. Looking through it, most of it was stuff from the 60's, home-ec cooking books. But, low and behold, I found treasure!!!!!
In this box was an old, quite decrepit cookbook. Even thought it was old, I knew it was something quite special.
It is the Boston Cooking School Cookbook, by Fannie Merrit Farmer! The edition I have was published in 1924. Enclosed within these fabulous pages was a note, to Mrs. C.F. Morris (Paternal GGrandmother) from her Aunt Bess (my GGGGAunt) for Christmas, 1927!
But that itself isn't the best parts!
The book (even with being a subsequent edition, with a different editor) was autographed by Ms. Farmer herself!
That isn't what makes it treasure.
The treasure lie within the aged pages.
On the next-to-last page is a recipe for Devil's food cake, written by my gggrandmother. (Now, keep in mind that she joined the Lord in 1955.)
And that wasn't all. There was also another recipe within for Jello cake, written by ny ggrandmother. She "left" in 1985.
My Christmas came quite early, and I don't think much will top it.
What a wonderful story! Thank you for sharing it.
And thanks for pinging me to this thread. Now all I have to do is find time to read the rest of it! (I'm not even doing wOOhOOs at the moment. LOL) ... In another of life's moments that it really isn't in good form to complain about, I'm the busiest with assignments now than I've been all year. Two major deadlines both fall on 12/13! Not counting this post, I've written almost 3600 words today -- and hope to do more. ;)
Yes and it had to be stirred in one direction but no one ever told me why, LOL.
Sara Moulten from Food TV made Polenta that required little stirring. She mixed the water, corn meal and salt, set it to boil, stirring once or twice, and then simmered slowly partially covered for 15/20 minutes. It was a smooth consistency, no lumps, and left your arms free to prepare the rest of the dinner. I could not believe it could be so simple. If you'd like the recipe, let me know and I'll try to find it.
Sure I would. It's hard to believe, though. Not matter how long I stirred that stuff my dad always said it STILL didn't have a firm enough consistency. I'll take rolling, breading, and frying a zillion meatballs to stirring polenta anyday!
bttt
These look GREAT!!
Green bean casserole Thanksgiving bump!
