Good Baking or Cooking tips you've learned !
Comments (151)Chase : Thanks for the Info, I might as well end this one at 150. Unless , If they want I'll start another " Baking or Cooking tips Continued " We will need a vote !!!!! Bri : I was sort of kidding at first but then I got to thinking about it. I could just put the jar right in with the Walnut media, then wash it off, when done. David: What do you think? Denna: I guess you can use the Tuna with Water and add some vegetable oil. Or better yet some EVOO. So they go out in Style. Thanks for your vote !!! Nina: I'll have to finish off with the Yellowjacket story. I had to redo the inside of a 1 story Kitchen, for a friend, who reminded me of Bill Cosby. This was in the Pine Barrons of New Jersey. It included redoing the roof. That had to be done first, so there would be no leaks. I put the ladder up and climbed to the top. Got on the roof about 5 feet from the side wall. It was cinder block with a Terra Cotta capping. The end was open (cement was missing ) I saw a Yellowjacket standing Guard there as others were flying in and out. NOW !!! As I moved around he followed me. SO I moved farther away! He came towards me like he was going to attack. Very slowly, I got down off the roof. I went in and told the owner about the Bee's. He said "I'll take care of them tonight , when it gets cooler out side " I guess it didn't get cool enough, because when we came back the next morning, He had about 20 bumps, all over his bald head. It looked like some took a Ball Pean hammer to his head or my Grandmother's Wooden Spoon when she was really mad. I asked what happened, in between us all laughing. He said " I went up and stuck a torch in the hole, Man they came out like Kami- Kaze's. I was down the ladder and in the house in 2 seconds. To top it off, he was re-enacting the scene and swinging wildly and hit a tree branch. GUESS WHAT !!! Bees came out of the tree, after him. We ran the other way, and jumped in the truck. We met him inside later. You guessed it ! he had more bumps on his noggin. He did get rid of them that night. Said he almost set the house on fire. Threw gasoline in the hole first. BUT! he didn't get bit ! Is this story, good as the tablecloth caught in the Zipper? Let me know if anyone wants this Post continued into another. Have the Title picked!!!

Comments (18)Made some ginger snaps Saturday. I call them 'ginger bends' as they aren't very hard. I always put lots of chopped crystalized ginger in them, plus more ground ginger than called for, plus whatever spicy season is in my cupboard that turns me on. Put some cayenne pepper in this time, which I've done before, but I think I may have gone a little overboard this time. Still pretty darned good....See MoreWhat Are You Baking for The Weekend?
Comments (13)This is the recipe I used for my corn casserole. Sweet Corn Casserole 1 - 15.25 oz. can of whole corn drained 1 - 15 oz. can cream style corn 1/2 cup white sugar 1 egg beaten 1/4 cup butter, melted and divided 2 sleeves of buttery crackers, crushed and divided, I used Town House Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Stir drained whole corn, cream corn, sugar, egg, and 3/4 of the butter together along with half of the crushed crackers. Place in a greased casserole dish. Add other half of crackers with the rest of the butter to the top. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the top begins to brown. If you want to double this recipe then it will fit a 9 X 13 pan.

Comments (36)Sally, Ann T's chocolate meringue cookies are good and have no flour, so they can easily be made gluten free using the appropriate ingredients. Macarons are also naturally gluten free, made with almond meal, but they are fussy. I can also heartily recommend this lemon bar recipe, I made it for Amanda and it was so good that no one even knew it was gluten free. She had to sneak a couple to hold back so she'd have some for her work snack! I got it from a blog called "Faithfully Gluten Free". Gluten Free Lemon Bars (the Way Lemon Bars Should Be) Author: Jeanine Friesen Ingredients For the crust: 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature 1/2 cup granulated sugar 2 cups all-purpose gluten-free flour blend (see Note) 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum pinch salt For the Filling: 7 large eggs, at room temperature 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar 2 tablespoons grated lemon zest (4-6 lemons) 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (I needed 6 lemons to get 1 cup) 1 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour blend (see NOTE) Confectioners' Sugar for dusting Instructions Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, so the paper rises up the sides (I had it run up the 13" sides, and left the 9" sides bare). (This will make removing the squares much easier, as you can lift them out once they are cooled.) For the crust, in the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Combine the flour & salt, and slowly add to the butter/sugar mixture while the mixer is on low. Mix just until it is combined. Dump the dough into your 9x13-inch pan, and using hands dusted with gluten-free flour, press the dough evenly over the bottom of the pan, building up a 1/2-inch edge on all sides. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until very lightly browned. Remove from oven and cool on wire rack. Leave the oven on. While the crust is baking, you can prepare the filling. For the filling, whisk together the eggs, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and gluten-free flour. Pour over your pre-baked crust and bake for 30-35 minutes, until the filling is set. Let cool to room temperature. To remove from pan, cut along 9" edges, and use the parchment paper to lift the bars out to a cutting board. Using a sifter or wire sieve, dust the top of the bars with confectioners' sugar. Cut into squares, and serve. Notes The all-purpose gluten-free flour mix that I use is from Cybele Pascal. It is as follows: 4 cups superfine brown rice flour, 1 1/3 cups potato starch (not flour), 2/3 cup tapioca starch. Adapted from The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook. I used King Arthur's gluten free flour mix, as that's all I had on hand. They turned out nicely moist, extremely lemon-y and altogether delicious. Annie...See More
