The Kitchen Table

Regarding the Sharing Recipe thread.....!

13 years ago

There are going to be some minor changes, but should be better for everyone to access.

Walnutcreek has kindly agreed to take over the thread, on a monthly/weekly basis. This means that on the beginning of every month she will start part one of the thread, then weekly will change it to part two, etc. So November 1, she will start Recipe Sharing November 2012, part 1, and then weekly it will change to Recipe Sharing November 2012, part 2, etc.

This will keep everything under November, but in smaller batches so those of you with dial up will be able to join in. We were disappointed you were unable to access the recipes easily.

We hope this will satisfy all of our needs and still be a fun thread.

Thanks, Cindy! I just passed on your thanks to Duke, the artist. He's really good with pens/pencils but he's just begun getting into watercolors so they're still a bit... abstract. LOL Before I forget, here's the no-bake recipe: 2 cups sugar 1/2 cup milk 1/2 cup butter 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 cup cocoa powder Bring the above to a boil. Boil for a few minutes (3-5? I'm always distracted so whenever I remember I'm making cookies. LOL) then remove from heat and add: 1 tsp vanilla 1 cup peanut butter 3-5 cups quick oats Mix and spoon onto wax paper, then let cool & harden. My mother uses only 3 cups of oats but I like more so I go up towards the 5 cups. Hubby likes coconut in his (blech!) and his grandmother used rice crispies in hers. There are all sorts of variations you can use. Some even omit the cocoa and just make it a PB cookie. For the swap cookies, I ran out of cocoa powder (gasp!) so subbed in a few chocolate chips for the cup of cocoa I was short on. Diane

Fig and Goat Cheese Canapes INGREDIENTS: 1 baguette 1 cup fig jam 12 ounces goat cheese, crumbled Honey, to drizzle (optional Â¡Âª very sweet!) DIRECTIONS: 1. Cut baguette into 1/2Â¡Ã¥ slices, discarding the ends. 2. In a large toaster oven set to low heat, or conventional oven heated to 275 degrees, toast bread for about 5 minutes, just for crispness. 3. While the bread is still warm, spread each slice with about a tablespoon of jam. 4. Drop goat cheese crumbles on top of all the slices, roughly evenly. 5. Drizzle with honey if desired, and serve!

Whirligig Cookies Preheat oven to 375 degrees Baking time 10 to 12 minutes. 1/2 cup shortening 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1/2 cup peanut butter, creamy 1 egg, unbeaten 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour, sifted before measuring 1/2 teaspoon soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 package (6 ounces) chocolate chips Cream the brown sugar, white sugar and shortening and peanut butter thoroughly. Add the egg, beat until light and fluffy. Sift flour with soda and salt. Add to egg mixture and blend well. Roll dough into an oblong shape 1/4 inch thick. Melt chocolate chips over boiling water. Cool slightly. Spread on rolled dough with spatula. Roll up like a jelly roll and chill. Slice 1/4 inch. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake. Remove from pans to racks to cool. I would use parchment paper for easy removal. Makes about 3 doz. cookies. From the 1954 Betty Furness Westinghouse Cook Book Sue

I am very excited about doing this; have never done anything like it before.

Would y'all mind if occasionally I post a kitchen tip instead of a recipe?

Walnutcreek, I think that's an excellent idea. We all have methods of doing things that may help each other make things easier.

Just a suggestion, but every once in a while I think it'd be fun to have a "theme" day. Like having everyone who wants post their favorite soup recipe, or cake, or whatever. We have so many good cooks here but I think we all like cooking some things more than others.

I enjoy looking at everyone's recipes. And, am happy that it will continue, so thanks!
My only suggestion is that people post recipes that they have tried and have been popular with their family and friends. Sometimes people post a recipe that might look good but they did not try it. I am not sure of the vaalue of this. Just my opinion.
