Crockpot Brisket AND Brisket Cottage Pie
2lb beef brisket
1 lg onion, chopped
2-3 lg carrots, chopped
4-5 cloves garlic, minced
1lb potatoes, cubed
10.5oz can celery soup (or use home-made for even better taste)
soup can of water

Brown the brisket in a skillet first.
Place the veggies into the crockpot and the brisket on top.
Pour the soup and water over, cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
About 40 mins before serving, remove potatoes to a baking tray.
Spritz or drizzle with a little olive oil and then roast in the oven at
400F/200C/Gas6.

I like to shred the brisket into the gravy/sauce to serve.
I make a large yorkshire pudding for each person and ladle the brisket and
veggies into the centre of the yorkie.

I used a can of condensed soup this time as I don't have any home-made on hand
(very very little storage space here). I didn't add any salt because of this,
but if you are using homemade you will probably want to add to suit your taste.

Brisket Cottage Pie
As there is only 2 of us this will leave me plenty of leftovers to make a
cottage pie from (plus the kitties will get a little treat).
Shred the rest of the meat into the gravy/sauce and place in a 9x13 baking dish.
Top with mashed potatoes - I like to make my mashed potatoes and little wetter
for this so it is easier to spread them on top and they don't dry out too much
in the oven.
Sprinkle with 1 cup shredded cheese and some bread crumbs.
Pop into a oven at 400F/200C/Gas6 for about 30 mins until the top is golden
brown and the meat mixture is piping hot.

Heidi's Easy Mini Pumpkin Muffin

Description: This is a quick and easy way to make tasty pumpkin 
muffins. The only wet ingredient is the pumpkin.  But, the recipe 
comes out moist.

Contributed by: Heidi Hynes from Mokena, IL.

1 15oz can of pumpkin
1 box cake mix dry white, chocolate or spice. (butter golden recipe works well)
1/2 - 3/4 bag bag of chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 350.

2. Mix pumpkin and dry cake mix together.

3. Add chocolate chips to your liking.

4. Spoon into the mini muffin tins, fill them pretty full, they 
don't really rise. (regular size muffins don't seem to work as well)

5. Bake for 8-10 min., or until toothpick comes out clean.

You can be creative with the types of cake mixes used and even the 
chocolate chips. Use whatever combination sounds good to you!

Combinations I've used:

Chocolate cake mix with white chocolate chips

Golden Butter cake mix with chocolate chips

Spice cake mix with pecans

Re: [CnD] pen friend

2010-02-21 Thread jason smith
If you do get yourself a Penfriend May. Be aware that it comes with 
batteries included. And so is all ready to go when you take it out of the 
box. Also, don't make the mistake I did either. For example, I tried doing a 
recording before I went through all of the instructions. I therefore did not 
wait for the beep sound after pressing the record button before I said 
anything. And I wondered why my recording didn't work smile.

all the best Jason

Hey Sheila since you also live in Vancouver. How much did it cost to get 
the PenFriend here?

I also attach the small labels to small magnets and attach them to the 
lid of cans.  Each label can be re-recorded when you want to move it to 
another item, so I have never wasted any, but always used them again.
Also I attach a larger label to an index card and attach to packets with 
directions for using the contents.
Also use them on lables pinned onto clothing, but don't think they would 
survive the laundry.  The more I use them, the more uses I find for the 
system.

The PenFriend is an ideal labeling system for the blind.
Label food items, spices, etc.
Remember to label the lids on medications, spices, anything else you
can replace the lid on when you get new...
Blind Mice has the PenFriend Labeling system for $142.50 and Free 
Shipping!

They also have extra label packs a, b, c, and d for $28.75 each.
The Pen Friend coms with 127 labels and each extra pack contains 380 
labels.

http://www.blindmicemart.com
The manual is available for download at blind mice mart too for the Pen
Friend.

If you cannot afford the ID Mate Omni, then this little item is perfect!
Have a Mice Day

Re: [CnD] BOB'S HOMEMADE TWIX BARS

would butter work for that? I know when making things I was told to greace 
up my hands too so that food wouldn't stick to it. That might work.

Have you made this? I have tried recipes like this in the past and when it
comes to spreading with a spatula, I end up with a very big mess. How do you
do it without all the gooy stickin' to the spatula?

Hi there,
I was very lucky to receive the Pen Friend for Christmas.  I think
CNIB sells them for $150 Canadian, which would be about the same as
the American price.
