Well I'm not going to let that mixer just sit

 

[FrankZ]

The mixers need frequent use or they get cranky.

They do great. We grow a large long carrot and they sorta hibernate when it gets cold. You need to cover them with adequate hay so the tops of the carrots and the surrounding ground does not freeze. I plant in several small plots around the garden to foil any rodents. The past several years we have had no animal damage to the carrots. Also, we plant a lot of carrots so any loss is not noticed.

Good Luck! Don't get discouraged...it takes some time to get it down! And the "not quite rights" always taste good warmed up with butter!

Indeed. I took garlicjosh's advice and we used the last of the "slightly dense" bread I made earlier this week to make French toast for our lazy Sunday morning brunch. It was dee-lish!

i made a pumpkin dump cake today. of course i fooled with the recipe. called for spice cake, used a yellow cake mix. called for evaporated milk, i used sweetened condensed milk. i left out the 1/2 cup of white sugar. added 3 tsp. pumpkin pie spice and a teaspoon maple flavoring in the pumpkin,eggs,milk part. used 3/4 cup melted butter for the top.

next time will use a cup of butter, had a few dry spots in the topping. will add a bit more spice, next time.

if anyone wants the whole recipe , just ask!

I made these for my pharmacist, but I had to steal one (or two) I used all Ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate chips:

These went to my taxlady's house with me and my tax stuff yesterday. They were just a lemon box cake baked in mini cupcake papers. Used a melon scoop to take out 'divots,' filled the hole with melon-scoop lemon curd balls from the jar. I intended to put the tops back on, but they didn't really fit, so just drizzled on powdered sugar icing.

 

[babetoo]

oh my god, those lemon cupcakes sound fantastic. i love, love love lemon desserts. wish lemon curd was so high in sugar, though. still i eat it on occasion. good job.

 

[tinlizzie]

Thanks, Babe. Next time I think it will be home-made lemon curd with Alix's lemon cake in regular size cupcake pans -- more curd that way!

Since we were out of dessert and I didn't get to the lemon tart yesterday, I just put a blackberry pie in the oven. It's smellin' good already. It's a great recipe and it's especially good since the blackberries came from our garden last summer. Yum! The ice cream's ready and waiting.
