You don't have to add the peanuts. I rarely do.
They just add a little saltiness to the sweetness.

I have a hard time to find the ingredients of the gritty mix.

How big are the mango trees? If you have to move moderately sized trees in and out every year (as you must in Canada?) then I would suggest you replace the granite with something else. The only reason I would use the granite for a tree in a pot larger than ~8" is if you're worried about it being blown over or etc. It just makes the pots far too heavy to deal with. I ended up using ~1-1.5 bags of the gran-i-grit which put some pots at 75 lbs just for the granite component. The granite can be replaced with similarly sized perlite, charcoal, or anything else that doesn't hold significant quantities of water. Perlite would be the lightest option but you should check to see if mangos have any known issues with fluoride sensitivity (it's only an issue for a few types of plants). If you use charcoal make sure to wash it well to begin with and handle it gently as it is obviously more fragile than the granite etc.. I've used reptibark in the past and it will work - it is probably slightly larger than ideal and it is *very* expensive for what you get. You might even be able to mail order pine bark for less than you'll pay for the 24qt reptibark bags necessary for a large tree...

Help me plan baking a cake for a party
Q

Cake Central tells me a 12 inch heart shaped pan 2 inches tall holds 8 cups, although some people remarked that they'd reduce the capacity to 7 cups to prevent overflow. I'd also freeze the cake if you make it Friday and don't frost immediately. I've had good luck making buttercream the day before using it, then whipping it well when I get ready to frost the cake. The filling would worry me if I made it a day in advance and filled the cake, I think the cake could get too soggy, so doing it the morning of is a good idea. Transportation? How far are you taking it? I've had pretty good luck putting cake on a cardboard cake board, as tricia mentioned, then setting the board inside a larger container, even a cardboard box about the size or a big bitter than the board. The board keeps the cake from sliding around and gives a sturdier platform to lift the cake in and out of the container and the box or container can be "wedged" in on the back floor or the front seat so it doesn't slide around. My favorite way of transportation is to get someone to carry it on their lap but I suppose that's not an option. (grin) Annie

Help me bake a Spiral cut ham
Q
Comments (23)
Much depends on how you like your ham and how fussy you are about it. Thin sliced ham, cooked a long time will dry out. Heat releases the juices so it naturally will dry. Some like it that way. This is why most recommend room temp or just 10 min or so to heat it. 10-12 min per pound? Wow. That's a long time it seems. This is why I don't usually like spiral cut hams. Every time someone made one that I've had they baked it like a solid ham and it was nearly ham jerky. I also prefer a thicker slice of meat than the spiral thickness so that's another reason I wouldn't get it, but for convenience for a sandwich buffet or something I could see it. I think I'd cut the meat from the bone and put it in the electric roaster, seal it with foil and let it warm a short while. Possibly add some ham juice if it came with it or maybe something like 7up, ginger ale or preferably a low-sodium broth for a more natural and less sugary flavor. I like ham, not sugar-frosted ham flakes. Most important caution if you're heating it, seal it up tight. That'll keep the moisture in. And you're right, there's hundreds of different ideas how to "cook" it and the debate rages whether to cook it. My old GF got annoyed with me when I gave in and took her to the sushi bar and asked for the sushi well-done. Told her from now on we go to restaurants that have a stove.

Do you have sturdy baking sheets and/or pans you love?
Q

Jillius, I can recommend a dishwasher safe cookie sheet and jelly roll pan but you won't like the price. I have the Gold ones which are no longer made but will come up on ebay for about 6x what I paid for them 10years ago. My Gold Jelly roll pans did not have the handles of the newer aluminum finish. They are great pans. You can thank me later once you recover from the shock :-) I second the recommendation for Demeyere. I have a mix of Demeyere and All Clad. I prefer the Demeyere everytime. Mine is the Demeyere Sirocco which they no longer make. For storage, I use all glass containers. My favorites are the Glasslock. Lots of options on the manufacturer website for containers include round bowls, containers with handles, etc. Costco carries Glasslock and for the sets, it is a great value. I have spent enough of your money for today:-) Tomorrow, we can discuss Chopping Boards and Knives!!!! Good luck!

I'd just make bars using all the stuff..
melt a few tablespoons of butter, add in the fluff (and if it's a whole bag of marshmallows half) melt until pourable..In a big bowl toss the cereals, chow mein, 1 bag of chocolate chips and the toffee bits and the remaining mini marshmallows..pour melted marshmallows over stir well and push into greased pan...You could add insult to injury and sprinkle the top with the other bag of chocolate chips..put in a 350 oven to begin the chips melting..spread and let cool........

Easy candy/cookie--Melt the chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler or deep dish over pan of hot water so you don't scorch the chocolate, and stir in the Chinese noodles. You can mix in rasins or some nuts or marshmallow bits too. Drop spoonfuls onto wax paper to cool. Store in cool place.
