Re: [CnD] Butter Cookies
If you add about 1/2 tea spoon of salt to the mixture they will be even better. - Original Message - From: "Allison Manzino Vázquez" To: Sent: Friday, March 08, 2013 2:20 AM Subject: [CnD] Butter Cookies Hi everyone, Thank you for such a warm welcome to the list a while back. I planned to post more recipes by now. I'd like to share a recipe that was my beloved Grandmother's. She used to make these butter cookies when I was a child. I hope you enjoy. Butter Cookies 1/2 pound butter softened 1/2 C. sugar 2 egg yolks 1 tsp vanilla 2 c. unsifted flour Use an electric mixer at medium speed to cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolks and add the vanilla. Gradually add the flour until blended, roll the dough in to two inch balls. Pat it down with the heel of your hand. Place chocolate chip in the center of each cookie on slightly greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees farenheight, 175 Celsius oven for 10 to 15 minutes until edges are slightly brown. Cool at least 10 minutes before removing from cookie sheet.

[CnD] Kale, beans, sausage
Kale, sausage, bean recipe What do you call it? Be dam if I know. Tonight was a dish made of beans, kale, sausage for the main ingredients First half ringed about 4 small onion. Slivered up 4 cloves of garlic. Added a little olive oil to a green pan and started my creation. Did the onions until they were semi soft. Added the garlic and heated it up a bit. Put in a pound of bulk sausage. Added my seasoning of red hot crush pepper, oregano, salt and black pepper and fried up the sausage until it was done. Than added a can of red kidney beans that were rinsed well. Warm them up and than added the chopped kale. Once the kale was the way I wanted it. My wife and I sat down and had a peasant meal that was fit for a king. Did I say I topped it off with a glass of red wine?

This is disappointing to me, because I figured, under an apparent misconception, that you would put everything into the crock pot and let it, not the cook, do the work. I don't want to have to cook the food before it goes into a crock pot to complete the process I was hoping that it would perform from start to finish. Some meals are the type I am looking for, but a lot of them aren't. One exception to that is the chili recipe I make, which I have previously posted. I use Venison, and I do grill it before it gets thrown into the pot to cook for 8 hours on the low setting. It makes the house smell really good all day, too, which is another thing that I do like about the crock pot. You've been smelling something all day, and can't wait to eat it! --- Shepherds are the best beasts, but Labs are a close second. ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
Re: [CnD] under a misconception
Andrew, where are you located, that sounds awesome I'd love one. -Original Message- From: Cookinginthedark [mailto:cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org] On Behalf Of Andrew Niven Sent: Friday, 8 March 2013 11:03 AM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Subject: Re: [CnD] under a misconception hi Charles. Can you get combination crockpots in the US? I've jsut bought one here. It's called a Sunbeam VersaCook, and it's a slow cooker, frypan for browning, saucepan and deep fryer all in one unit. This way, I can brown in the pan, then switch to slow cooker mode afterwards. Cheers Andrew Charles Rivard wrote: > I've always heard how easy and convenient a crock pot is.

[CnD] Butter Cookies
Hi everyone, Thank you for such a warm welcome to the list a while back. I planned to post more recipes by now. I'd like to share a recipe that was my beloved Grandmother's. She used to make these butter cookies when I was a child. I hope you enjoy. Butter Cookies 1/2 pound butter softened 1/2 C. sugar 2 egg yolks 1 tsp vanilla 2 c. unsifted flour Use an electric mixer at medium speed to cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolks and add the vanilla. Gradually add the flour until blended, roll the dough in to two inch balls. Pat it down with the heel of your hand. Place chocolate chip in the center of each cookie on slightly greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees farenheight, 175 Celsius oven for 10 to 15 minutes until edges are slightly brown. Cool at least 10 minutes before removing from cookie sheet. Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
