Aspic may possibly be the only way I DON'T like tomatoes!
Then again I haven't tried it since I was a child and tastes change. I like cooked carrots now and I couldn't eat them as a child. Hope you enjoy your potluck Glenda :)

EDU: Make your own Pickles, even if you don't like them these ar

I have made a few batches of the pickles and they were good. I have also changed up the ingredients a touch with some interesting results. Less salt, add some sugar, celery seed, add jalapeno or serrano, less vinegar,pinch of tumeric, etc. Many possibilities and I just keep notes to what I like and dont like. Very fresh dill is a must here as anything less gives you undesirable results. I personally didnt care for the batch that I made with allspice so I have left it out of future batches. If you do use a hot pepper, be careful how much you use or you wont find anyone willing to help you eat them. I like hot and spicy but most dont care for it. I am currently collecting quart jars so I can make smaller batches with different variations until I find one that everyone likes. Duane

Mine has produced a great caudex. It will take temp. down to 20F but I have mine in the ground and two in the green house, the ones in the green house did not do as well. You gave me the courage to cut mine back now. My oldest ones produce seeds. Thanks, Norma

Researching refrigerators, what do you like (or don't) about yours
Q
Comments (19)
I over planned and bought too early. It was an error. Appliances sat around in the garage for months and I lost warranty time because that counts from date of purchase usually. When you buy too early everything is months old by the time it's installed. Take the list of must-haves to a big appliance store. Shop those features, take pix and make notes on prices. When you get down to actually designing the kitchen and know space requirements for various pieces that's the time to get more specific with actual picks since you will need exact dimensions for the cabinet order. Meanwhile, there is plenty of time for the inevitable learning curve. There is one no matter how many suggestions you might get. Now to answer your question: I have a built in Miele refrigerator. What I love about it is the amazing lighting, the sturdy build quality (no clattering or chattering doors when they close) and the door storage. I have a bottom freezer that's excellent and very cold. My fridge doesn't stick out much from the cabinets -- I don't care for that look. No big grill either. It's super easy to clean -- everything comes apart in just the right way and goes back in a minute. Very quiet and very reliable. But bi fridges are a huge cost commitment. I extensively researched bi fridge styles and didn't want storage loss with FD. I don't care for the taste of fridge water -- I have an excellent filtered water faucet which gives me terrific quality water that I know is OK. That's used for all drinking and cooking. No way to do that with a fridge door dispenser. Just a thought if there will be kids in the house.

My last year trick-or-treating, my friend's and my favorite TV show was Alias Smith and Jones. Swoon. So, living in a horse-friendly community, we dressed as the guys and trick-or-treated on her horses. Fun! Except, they didnt have saddles, and I have a hard time mounting without one. And, every time we went to a door, the horses tried to walk in! So one of us had to stay in the driveway holding both horses firmly, while the other rang the doorbell. Kind of a bother, in the end lol. Then there was the car of boys who tossed a cherry bomb as they drove by, spooking the horses. That was definitely NOT fun. My son's early Halloweens were scary for him. We went to a hayride, and one of the parents on the ride wore a slasher costume, OMG it was gory. We had to get off the ride after not too long, DS was practically clawing his way inside my coat while sneaking frightened looks at the guy. And answering the door one year, the dad accompanying the child had on a "scream" mask. Scared the bejeebers out of DS. We had plenty of talks about real and not-real. So, when he was 3 and going trick-or-treating for the first time, I'd made him a scarecrow costume. He freaked out, "I don't WANT to be a scarecrow! I want to be DS!" So I dressed him in his red puddle-jumper overall and rain boots, threw on a firefighter's helmet (it was, in fact, sprinkling every now and then that day), and went out. At every house, folks would say "what have we here? Oh, a firefighter!" And DS would correct them "No, I'm only DRESSED like a firefighter." After 5 houses he said "Mommy, I have enough candy now." Funnily enough, he grew up to be an actor and portraying characters other than himself is what he does.

I developed a taste for it in my 40's. Cafeteria used to have it weekly and I would always get it and eat with crackers. Cafeteria has long been closed.

Funny--I was just thinking about you and aspic :-) I was looking through a cookbook for salad ideas and came across several aspics. The one I was thinking of making doesn't sound nearly as good as yours. It called for tomato juice, plain gelatin, lemon juice, celery, bell pepper and olives, salt and red pepper to taste. Let us know how it turned out. It sounds cool and refreshing and something different from the same old, same old.

patti, mother used to make it for her "parties" and the one I found seems closest to hers. I don't want bell papper in mine, but I do enjoy chopped green olives.

I've never had it, but it doesn't sound horrible! LOL
By that I mean I like all ingredients, but never ate this. I'd try it for sure if I had a chance. But let me try it without the shrimp the first time.

I am not crazy about it ...something about the "aspic" I don't really like gazpacho either and everyone I know loves it.......I don't hate it, just always think how much better it would be if someone cooked the rawness out.

I bought a small pkg of shrimp and crab meat. won't use it all.

friend always brings Costco shrimp salad, and won't be at the luncheon, so I'm gonna make up for the missed shrimp :o)

think it will be a good combination

Love it! I use my mother's recipe.. boil celery, onion, 5 cloves, 1 bayleaf, lemon juice, dash of tabasco and worchestershire with tomato (or V8) juice, strain it, toss cooked veggies, and mix seasoned juice with plain gelatin. Sometimes she added artichoke hearts or avocado when it was partially set. Like Glenda said, you've gotta serve it with a dollop of mayo. I have to add a caper or three on top of the mayo.
