Wow! Thanks! This is interesting, along with the ice cube treatment after
boiling them and the turning them upside down a few days prior to boiling
them when in their carton in the fridge! Live and learn!

Courage is Fear that has said its prayers.

[CnD] knowing when a cheesecake is cracking?

2013-09-20 Thread Alex Hall
Hi all,
Tomorrow I'll attempt my first-ever cheesecake, a pumpkin one with a graham 
cracker crust. Oddly, the recipe does not call for a water bath, but instead 
relies on the cake showing its first cracks to know when it is done. So, how do 
you all figure that out? I don't want to touch the cake since it will be not 
only hot, but I doubt I could feel the cracks they are talking about anyway. Is 
there a different test I might use? I'll have sighted help tomorrow, but I want 
to know for the future what I could do here. Thanks.


Have a great day,

Re: [CnD] Toasters or Toaster Ovens?

2013-09-20 Thread jan
I use a toaster oven. I always have to have someone mark mine. But I make
sure the model I get has a pointer that can easily be lined up with a dymo
tape label or a bump dot or something. I think a few blindness agencies have
toaster ovens that come tactually marked. The last I knew blind mice mart
had one. I didn't get it because it looked bigger   than what I wanted for
my counter. I had a toaster when I first got married. I dropped it and never
got another one. I prefer toaster ovens. They're easier to set and you can
use oven mitts to remove the items, like pop tarts.

Yes, edit the to: line removing -digest from the address and remove

Now if you were using unix or linux, you could run undigest on the

as everyone not on digest reads them.
There may be an undigest or burst program for windows, I don't use

[CnD] Toasting English Muffins

2013-09-20 Thread ajackson212
Hi, Nicole,

I have a toaster oven that has an automatic timer; the length of time 
determines how dark the toast is.  That being said, my guess for time and 
temperature in the oven would be 450 degrees for about five minutes.  You want 
a hot oven to crisp the outside of the English muffin.

Hope this helps.

Next, spread a layer of tomatoes.



2. Sprinkle some chopped onions & black beans on top of the tomatoes.



3. Cover beans with a layer of salsa & apply a generous amount of
fajita seasoning.



4. Next layer on your chicken & corn. (pictured with vegetarian fake 
chicken)




5. Top corn with a layer of shredded cheese.



Like I said, all crockpots are different shapes and sizes. So keep
layering until you are a couple inches from the top. I was able to
repeat the layers 3 times.



When you do reach the top, for the final layer, do a later of
tortillas, topped with the rest of your tomatoes and cheese.



6. Cook on low for 3-4 hours or on high for 2 hours. Top with sour
cream of avocado :)

Could you substitute ricotta for the cottage cheese?

this may be a stupid question, but what kind of chicken would you use?
 should you cook it first?  Can chicken?

I like this recipe it is versitile.
It is written in an easy to follow style.


Crockpot Mexican Lasagna



Prep time

10 mins



Cook time

4 hours



Total time

4 hours 10 mins






Serves: 6-8



Ingredients


- 12-14 tortillas (I used small corn tortillas)

- 2 cups of shredded Mexican blend cheese

- 1 tbsp of fajita seasoning

- 28oz can of tomatoes

- 15.5 oz can of black beans

- 15.5 oz can corn (or frozen)

- 2 cups of salsa

- 2 cups of shredded chicken (or veggie chicken)

- 1 small onion, chopped


1. Spray crockpot with cooking spray. Lay down layer of tortillas. Each 
crockpot will vary in size. Mine took 4 small tortillas to cover the bottom.



Next, spread a layer of tomatoes.



2. Sprinkle some chopped onions & black beans on top of the tomatoes.



3. Cover beans with a layer of salsa & apply a generous amount of 
fajita seasoning.



4. Next layer on your chicken & corn. (pictured with vegetarian fake chicken)



5. Top corn with a layer of shredded cheese.



Like I said, all crockpots are different shapes and sizes. So keep 
layering until you are a couple inches from the top. I was able to 
repeat the layers 3 times.



When you do reach the top, for the final layer, do a later of 
tortillas, topped with the rest of your tomatoes and cheese.



6. Cook on low for 3-4 hours or on high for 2 hours. Top with sour 
cream of avocado :)

Re: [CnD] foreman needs a part

2013-09-20 Thread Dawnielle Voegele

Hi Charles,

Sorry, I'm a little late in seeing this. I am currently trying to get 
caught up on email. My thought is that maybe, if you're really wanting to 
buy a grease tray locally, you could buy one on craigslist? People are 
always buying/selling things on there. You could post an add wanting one and 
if someone has one, they could respond. This may work well, since you know 
your make and model number. My grill fortunately, has two grease trays and 
two spatulas which came with it. This is nice, because I can always trade 
one out, while the others are in the dishwasher. If that doesn't work, 
online is your friend. I'd suggest Ebay personally. I've had a lot of good 
luck with finding parts to kitchen things I have needed off of Ebay. , 
though Amazon may have one.


Take Care,

Dawnielle

No idea, and I suspect you'll have to order one online. But there's another
option -- find someone who consumes Lean Cuisine type stuff, and get one of
the plastic trays, one of the ones without the separate segments, and use
that. It'll do the gig, and though it's not as heat resistant as the drip
tray they're a whole lot cheaper and it won't be a big deal to get another
one.

Subject: [CnD] foreman needs a part

I recently moved to a new house.  The plastic tray that catches liquids
that goes to my George Foreman grill is still missing.  I have the
model that comes with 2 plates that 4 more can be ordered for.  Anyone
know where I can get a replacement?  Even if I do find the original
one, it won't hurt to have a spare.  Thanks.  By the way, I would
rather get one locally than have to order online.
