I did call in and my driver even expressed discern, as he has many blind
customers, but like you stated, 2 are not the only ones, but who knows! many
might have complained and quizzed them about this decision, and maybe they
just decided against reconsidering!

Yes, I found out about the catalogs some time ago and posted a warning.

I had hoped the blind community would encourage Schwans to rethink this
decision, but noone seemed overly concerned, and now the catalogues are
gone.

Even though I am not one of their customers, I voiced the importance of
braille to a blind by comparing it with the importance of printed material
to a sighted person.  I never heard from them.

[CnD] Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies

2014-08-26 Thread Sandy via Cookinginthedark
SOFT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES   

2 cups brown sugar
1 1/2 cups white sugar
2 cups all-vegetable Crisco (non-hydrogenated)
4 eggs
4 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. pure vanilla
3/4 cup chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts, etc.)
2 cups chocolate chips


Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.
Beat eggs until light in color. Add all ingredients except nuts and chips to
bowl and mix only until combined (about 1 minute). Stir in nuts and chips.

Drop onto a parchment lined cookie sheet by tablespoonfuls and bake in a
preheated 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes; remove from oven before they appear
to be baked, just when the edges are slightly browned.


Cooks Note: It's important not to overbake, so keep an eye on them during
the last few minutes and don't go by the timer because different size
cookies bake in more or less time and your oven will affect results.


These cookies are great partially dipped in or drizzled with chocolate!
Substitution: Butter may be used to replace all or part of the Crisco, but
this will cause the cookies to spread and be more crisp than soft.

Yield: About 40 large cookies

THIN AND CRISP CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES   
These are thin, dark, and brittle-crisp. ES 1 3/4 cups sifted all-purpose
flour 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 pound (2 sticks) butter 1 teaspoon
vanilla 1 cup granulated sugar 1/2 cup dark brown sugar, firmly packed 1/3
cup unsweetened cocoa 2 tablespoons light cream 1 cup pecans halves, broken
(large chunks) 1 cup (about 6 oz) semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat to 350°F. Combine flour and baking soda.
In a large mixing bowl on medium speed of mixer, beat together butter and
sugar (s) until creamy.

On low speed add cocoa and beat for 30 seconds. Beat in the cream and slowly
add the flour mixture, stopping to scrape down the bowl occasionally. Beat
only until mixed (about 30 seconds).

Using a large spoon or spatula, stir in the nuts and chocolate chips.

Drop cookies by the rounded teaspoonful onto a parchment or silicone-lined
baking sheet (or unlined sheet lightly sprayed with non-stick spray).
Cookies will spread during baking; leave about 2 inches between each cookie.

Bake for 12 - 13 minutes. Remove baking sheet from oven and let cool for 1
to 2 minutes, then use a thin metal spatula to gently lift cookies to a wire
rack to cool. Be careful not to overbake - cookies will be soft and seem
undone but will firm up as they cool.

recipes here in Spain and I think throughout most of Europe, measure  liquids 
in mililiters and liters. If any of you have any suggestions please send them 
my way. I'm originally from the States and we usually measure in cups. I do 
have a set of Braille measuring cups, but they are not metric. Thank you in 
advance for any suggestions.

[CnD] Homemade gravy: the kind grandma made

2014-08-26 Thread Blaine Deutscher via Cookinginthedark
Good morning. I'm looking up making roast beef this week and would like to make 
homemade gravy: the kind grandma made. I know I can purchase gravy packs but I 
would like to make it from scratch. There's something about getting in the 
kitchen and doing things from scratch and having it "Just right."  If anyone 
has a good gravy recipe, thick or thin, please share. I like roast beef 
sandwiches with gravy [openface]. I'm thinking of throwing the roast beef in 
the slow cooker with chopped up onion, garlic, and a little salt and pepper to 
taste. Not sure if I should add potatoes right away or wait until it's almost 
done? Was going to do a mix of large potatoes, not sure if  russets are good 
potatoes for mashed or what makes better potatoes for things like fries, 
Hashbrowns, etc. I know you can buy baking potatoes to do baked potatoes or 
stuffed potatoes but wasn't sure what makes a good potato for your every day 
mashed potato. I was also going to buy those small roast potatoes, the small o
 nes that are bite size. Looking forward to reading recipes and suggestions. 
Have a wonderful day. Oh yes, if you're one of those going back to the 
classroom, welcome back.

Re: [CnD] Homemade gravy: the kind grandma made

2014-08-26 Thread Abby Vincent via Cookinginthedark
Homemade gravy , Grandma style is made in the roasting pan you used to roast
the beef.  Take the roast out of the pan.  While the juices are being
redistributed, make the gravy.  Scrape all the roast that's stuck to the pan
into the middle of the pan.  Put the pan on the stove with medium low heat.
.  Skim off fat if you like.  Add hot water until you have enough to cook
the flour.  Then add about two tablespoons of flour.  Cook stirring
constantly until the flour is toasted ... maybe four minutes.  Add more
flour and water if needed.  Be sure to cook the flour in the pan drippings
long enough to mellow the flavor.  Now you can add whatever you like ...
salt and pepper to taste, seasoning such as Worcestershire sauce, onions,
mushrooms, but these are optional.  If there are lots of juices on the
platter where your meat is, add them to the gravy.  

If you are using a crock pot, you'll make the gravy the way you make basic
cream sauce.  Cook equal amounts of flour and butter or oil in a pan until
the flour is cooked, about three to four minutes.  Slowly add liquid from
the crock pot, stirring constantly, until you get the amount and thickness
you like. This will be about three tablespoons of flour, three tablespoons
of oil or butter and a cup of liquid.

[CnD] Some cookie recipe tips

2014-08-26 Thread Shannon Hannah via Cookinginthedark
I heard a tip from a pastry chef how to make any cookie recipe chewy. Along 
with all the ingredients of the cookie recipe add 1 tablespoon of corn starch. 
I tried it and it makes my chocolate chip cookies even better. 
Another tip was to put the cookie dough in the fridge for at least 15 minutes 
or longer so all the ingredients are at the same tempeture before baking. I 
have always done this as it makes the dough stiffer to handle. I was glad when 
I heard this tip though because I now understand why it is done.
I put my recipe below that I have used for over 30 years. I probably got it off 
the Chip-its bag.

Chocolate Chip Cookies 

1/2 cup margarine or butter 
1/2 cup brown sugar 
1/4 cup white sugar 
1 egg 
1/2 teaspoon vanilla 
1/2 teaspoon baking soda 
1/2 teaspoon salt 
1 cup flour 
1 tablespoon corn starch optional 
1 cup chocolate chips 

Directions:
Place rack in middle of oven and preheat to 350 degrees.
Mix with wooden spoon or mixer margarine sugars and vanilla. Beat in egg.
Stir in flour, salt, baking soda and corn starch.
Cover and refridgerate batter until ready to bake.
Bake on ungreased cookie sheets for 8 to 10 minutes.

Note:
* Using butter is best but when I use margarine it is always Becel.
* Chopped walnuts are very good in this recipe but it does change the taste.

myay I ask how many people will you be feeding? i think I would boil my 
potatoes. I would use the liquid off the roast for my gravy. I tried to take 
the roast out of the crockpot and then make gravy in the pot itsself and the 
liquid would not allow the gravy to set up. do you want to use flour or corn 
starch? My problem is that I would do my gravy by feel. If making brown 
gravy you need to brown theflour.

I always do my gravy as you described in the second set of instructions. I
do prefer to skim off most of the fat and just use a couple tablespoons to
brown the flour for flavor. I hav also used butter or margarine and just the
juices from the meat.

Oh and don't forget to keep stirring that gravy till thickens.

You can add a little liquid to thin if it gets too thick or put a tablespoon
or 2 into some cold watter and stir with a fork till blended and pour into
it to thicken if too thin.

Hi!

I think there is a way that we, the blind can still protest.
We call 188-724-9267.  Then we tell the person that answers the 
phone that we don't know the order numbers, because we don't have 
a braille catalogue. We'll have to request that the person look 
up all those order noumbers. With 50 or 60 calls a day, maybe 
Schwans will get the message, don't you think?
Help me here.  Maybe a hundred or so people can call tomorrow.  
Everyone asks for the catalogue, of course.  Let's try it!

Identity theft, total ruination of your credit score, time in court to get
fraudulent charges off your identity, charges for legal issues committed in

Identity thieves can use far less of your personal information than you

And then there's the more serious risk. If your personal information is on
the web, especially if you're identified as blind, unscrupulous individuals
can target your home for theft, vandalism, and other far more serious

Oh and don't forget to keep stirring that gravy till thickens.

You can add a little liquid to thin if it gets too thick or put a tablespoon

it to thicken if too thin.

Subject: [CnD] Homemade gravy: the kind grandma made

Good morning. I'm looking up making roast beef this week and would like to
make homemade gravy: the kind grandma made. I know I can purchase gravy
packs but I would like to make it from scratch. There's something about
getting in the kitchen and doing things from scratch and having it "Just
right."  If anyone has a good gravy recipe, thick or thin, please share. I
like roast beef sandwiches with gravy [openface]. I'm thinking of throwing
the roast beef in the slow cooker with chopped up onion, garlic, and a
little salt and pepper to taste. Not sure if I should add potatoes right
away or wait until it's almost done? Was going to do a mix of large
potatoes, not sure if  russets are good potatoes for mashed or what makes
better potatoes for things like fries, Hashbrowns, etc. I know you can buy
baking potatoes to do baked potatoes or stuffed potatoes but wasn't sure
what makes a good potato for your every day mashed potato. I was also going
to buy those small roast potatoes, the small o  nes that are bite size.
Looking forward to reading recipes and suggestions. Have a wonderful day. Oh
yes, if you're one of those going back to the classroom, welcome back.

I think the Spam in the recipe serves as the shortening. when we had our
state Fair about a year ago, that was one of their contributed recipes, too;
so many wanted to try them. I'd be a little hesitant, but just might, one of
these years, grins.

Well, I just tried this recipe, and it works.  Now I can have a cup cake
whenever I want it.

Actually I use the wooden utensil: the one with a triangular shape the has a
hole in the middle of it. It works very well in stopping lumps too.

I also use a whisk when stirring; it cuts down on lumping!

Oh and don't forget to keep stirring that gravy till thickens.

You can add a little liquid to thin if it gets too thick or put a tablespoon
or 2 into some cold watter and stir with a fork till blended and pour into
it to thicken if too thin.

Subject: [CnD] Homemade gravy: the kind grandma made

Good morning. I'm looking up making roast beef this week and would like to
make homemade gravy: the kind grandma made. I know I can purchase gravy
packs but I would like to make it from scratch. There's something about
getting in the kitchen and doing things from scratch and having it "Just
right."  If anyone has a good gravy recipe, thick or thin, please share. I
like roast beef sandwiches with gravy [openface]. I'm thinking of throwing
the roast beef in the slow cooker with chopped up onion, garlic, and a
little salt and pepper to taste. Not sure if I should add potatoes right
away or wait until it's almost done? Was going to do a mix of large
potatoes, not sure if  russets are good potatoes for mashed or what makes
better potatoes for things like fries, Hashbrowns, etc. I know you can buy
baking potatoes to do baked potatoes or stuffed potatoes but wasn't sure
what makes a good potato for your every day mashed potato. I was also going
to buy those small roast potatoes, the small o  nes that are bite size.
Looking forward to reading recipes and suggestions. Have a wonderful day. Oh
yes, if you're one of those going back to the classroom, welcome back.
