I've never made these. But here's one with imperial measurements for you! Smart Cookies 1 cup shortening 1 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup white sugar 2 eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1-1/2 cups candy-coated chocolate pieces - Smarties, Reeses Pieces, etc. Preheat the oven to 375° (190° degrees C). In a large bowl, cream together the shortening, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually stir into the creamed mixture. Finally, stir in the Smarties® or Reeses Pieces®. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the reheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark

[CnD] Devil of a good Cake
Devil of a Good Cake I have always loved the combination of chocolate and cherries. If you feel the same, you will love this cake. Cake: 1 package Duncan Hines devil's food cake mix 3 eggs 1-1/3 cups cherry flavored cola 1/2 cup vegetable oil Frosting: 1 (6 oz.) jar maraschino cherries, drained, reserve juice One box powdered sugar 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease & flour a 13x9-inch pan. Combine cake mix, eggs, cola, and oil in a large bowl. Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer for 2 minutes. Pour into pan; bake for 33 to 37 minutes or until pick inserted near center comes out clean. Place pan on cooling rack. Frost when cake is cool. Make frosting: Chop cherries into small pieces. Combine powdered sugar, reserved cherry juice & butter in a large bowl. Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth & light. Fold in chopped cherries. Spread over cooled cake NOTE: I didn’t think two minutes was long enough to beat the batter. That just didn’t seem long enough to me, so I beat it for about four minutes.

[CnD] African chicken
Today I decided to try some thing different. African style chicken. Mix 2 tablespoons of brown sugar 1 teaspoon of cinnamon 1 teaspoon Nutmeg 1 teaspoon of ginger Salt and pepper to taste. I use very little salt. Peel 2 medium yams or sweet potatoes 1 apple 1 small onion into thin rings and separate them. Place diced apples, s. potatoes in bowl and coat with spices above. Get out a chicken breast and evenly flatten the breast. Get out a casserole dish. Being lazy, I placed foil in the dish and gave it a light spray of oil. Layer the diced coated sweet potatoes and apples in dish and place the chicken over the sweet Potatoes/apples. Cover and bake at 350 F for 45 to 50 minutes or until chicken is done. 165 degrees if using a meat thermometer ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
Re: [CnD] Need subject lines in messages please
I agree about the subject lines and the need for them, but I must confess that I can only reply to messages, because I do have trouble with subject lines. If I create a new message, there's no problem, but when I try to send it to the group, I never get it in my inbox, so I don't know if it's gone through. If I try to circumvent that issue by changing someone else's subject line, I am unable to get my cursor to go to the Subject Line field. Countless times, people have given instructions, but I am hopeless, I suspect, for the instructions never work for me. Thus, I don't send recipes to this group. I only respond to messages if I think I have a relevant comment. Ah well, my poor, thimble-sized brain is overstuffed!

Re: [CnD] Need subject lines in messages please
I, too, usually delete messages without subject lines. If I do open them and find something to reply to, I usually will change the subject line. For some reason, when I tried to do this last time, the change didn't go through. I'll try to be more careful next time. -Original Message- From: Cookinginthedark [mailto:cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org] On Behalf Of Kathy Brandt Sent: Wednesday, May 08, 2013 1:12 AM To: cookinginthedark Subject: [CnD] Need subject lines in messages please It's not difficult to do, and gives busy people an idea of what's in the message so that they'll know whether it's pertinent to open.

[CnD] Hi, re doing subject lines
Here's my shot at attempting instructions/smile: When I hit control-r to reply to this, I was put in the body of the message. Shift tab (the back tab) put me back in the subject line, where I did a control-a (which highlited/selected everything in the subject line), and hit delete, which deleted everything, at which point I could type in a new subject, and then hit the tab key once to get to the body of the message. Hope that helps. ... I know how it is though with understanding this stuff. I couldn't, back in the day, get about how to copy and paste till it was explained in a way I understood.
