Hi, Jerry. I have also been blind since birth and have been cooking for years. As for burning your fingers, the only thing I can think of is to be cautious. It happens to everyone. Those oven mitts are a great idea. I plan to get some myself at some point. As for your microwave, you could use braille labels; you could also use inexpensive dots, puff-paint, etc. It depends on your preference and how comfortable you are finding numbers and other controls without actually having to read each one in braille. I am very comfortable with braille; however, I am also comfortable with finding controls if I have something to mark them. As a result, our microwave is marked with plastic jewels from walmart.

Re: [CnD] Problems with ordering
Yes I finally did. Apparently the year has to have four digits. Also, if you go back in and order something else and want it sent to someone other than you, you need to go in and change the shipping address. I had trouble when I tried to save the changes, because I hadn't put in a phone number. I wasn't sure she'd want her phone number put in, but apparently it's a required field, but it doesn't have a star beside it, so you wouldn't know that. Maybe if I'd read the tips for shoppers, all of this would have been easier, but I've ordered online for years, and just figured it would be set up like the sites I've used. - Original Message - From: "Sandy from OK!"

[CnD] Question about Eagle Brand fudge

[CnD] Pigs in Blankets
This is what I found when I googled. 1 pkg. Pillsbury Crescent Rolls 1 pkg. hot dogs Wrap 1 triangle shaped crescent roll dough around each hot dog. The ends of the hot dog will peek out of the "blanket". Bake 10-15 minutes at 450. Serve hot.

Re: [CnD] Pigs in blankets & ,eagle ,br& ,fudge
I just checked on the Pillsbury site and they said the temp should be 375, not 450 as the recipe I found said. That sounds more like it. I also called the Eagle Brand company to check on the length of of time for microwaving the chocolate chips and milk, because I wasn't sure whether it just had to melt or whether it actually had to cook. She said that 5 minutes was too long, probably closer to 3 would be about right, and she couldn't find the recipe I read to her. All of her recipes had three cups of chocolate chips, not 2 and none of them had peanut butter.

Re: [CnD] Microavable EAGLE BRAND CHOCOLATE FUDGE
I made this yesterday, but after talking to the Eagle brand people, I used 18 ounces of chocolate chips, and after cooking it for about 4 minutes, stirring every minute. I poured it into a pan I lined with no-stick foil, having foil hang over the ends so that after it hardened, I could just lift it out, peel off the foil and cut it into squares, with a knife I kept running under hot water so it wouldn't stick as I cut it. I'd never made fudge before, and this turned out great. Allison - Original Message - From: "Mary Ann Robinson" Remove from microwave, stir in 2 heaping tablespoons of peanut butter. Spread in pan.

Re: [CnD] Silicon Muffin Pans
I use them all the time. The only things I would suggest are to let the muffins cool a few minutes before removing them, and when you do, go underneath each cup and push up on the underside and they'll pop out. I assume you know that you need to put the pan on a cookie sheet so that it will stay stable when you bake them.

Let me try this another way, with an example. Let's say that Brand A stuffing comes in a 6oz. box and serves 4. Brand B comes in a much larger container, we don't know how many ounces it has (or even grams) and it holds 24 servings. We want to get an equivalent amount out of Brand B's container. So we take a measuring cup and count the number of cups in Brand B's container. Let's just say for the sake of example it held 12 cups. This tells us that a half a cup is a serving. (12 cups divided by 24 servings equals .5, or ½ cup per serving) So this tells us that to make four servings of Brand B we need two cups of Brand B stuffing mix, which is the equivalent of Brand A's 6 ounce box. -Original Message- From: cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org [mailto:cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org] On Behalf Of Allison Fallin Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2012 4:28 PM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Subject: Re: [CnD] Stuffing conversion I figured I could do that, but still don't know how many cups are in a 6 ounce box unless I just go ahead and buy one which I was trying not to have to do. - Original Message - From: "Nicole Massey" To: Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2012 4:23 PM Subject: Re: [CnD] Stuffing conversion Is the box still sitting at the level it had coming from the store?

Re: [CnD] cutting food
Hi Jessica, I know how hard it is, particularly as a teenager, to not be worried about how things look. Your concern reminds me of a story my husband tells. When he was in his late teens, his older brother urged him to use a cane or dog. He was reluctant, because it would make him look blind. As his brother said: "well, you are blind, and people can see that." Once he thought about it, he knew that was true. I came in late on this thread, so you may have answered this. Can you get any help from a rehab teacher? It's hard to have family members teach you, at least it was for me. One further thought. Given the state of the airline industry right now, you won't have to worry about cutting food on a plane. You never have to cut peanuts, assuming you even get those. Lol.

Re: [CnD] freezing
You're right on the celery and I feel the same way you do about ending up wasting some. I've found that if you cut off the tops of each stalk and a couple of inches at the bottom of each stalk and then wrap them in foil, the celery keeps for several weeks. I can usually use it by then. Allison - Original Message - From: "Nancy Martin" I know I can freeze my unused onion and bell peppers for later use. But am I right that the uncooked celery won't freeze?

[CnD] Question about size
There's a recipe in the OUR Special cookbook called Cottage Cheese Salad. It calls for 16 oz. of cottage cheese, a can of crushed pineapple, I think 20 oz., and it mentions a package of strawberry JELL-O and a small carton of Kool Whip. Has anyone made this. Do you think you mean a 4-serving sized package of Jell-O and is a small carton of Kool Whip an 8 oz. container. I wish recipes would be more precise.

[CnD] Softening butter
Hello, I'd like suggestions about softening butter. I use soft margarine, but my husband likes butter. Usually I use the Land O Lakes butter that is spreadable right from the fridge, but we were given some regular butter by friends who got it free and don't use butter. I know it can't be left out or it will get rancid, but it's way too hard to spread right out of the fridge. I nuked it for 20 seconds, and it softened, but some of it melted, which wasn't what I had in mind. Other than doing it for slightly less time, does anyone have any suggestions?

So you have to make sure that the end is moved away from the bag. I also find that, at times, I am moving the machine a bit too fast, and miss the bar code. And it sometimes works better from a distance of about 8 inches or so. Be careful, though, that there isn't another product nearby that has a bar code that might be picked up by the scanner. When scanning 4 or so bottles of pop, I've found that mistake. It scanned the bottle next to the one I wanted instead of the right one. Oops? --- Be positive!

You have to move the scanner, and you have to turn the box or can different ways to get a reading. This might also help you. If you scan a box or package, and there is no reading you won't get a beep or speech. This is because there is no bar code. Not all packages have a bar code.

Here you go. HOMEMADE EVAPORATED MILK 1/3 cup nonfat instant dry milk powder 6 TBS water Mix well. This is equivalent to 1/3 cup of canned evaporated milk. For 1 cup: 1 cup nonfat instant dry milk powder 18 TBS water (1 cup plus 2 tablespoons) - Original Message - From: "Sisi Ben-Simon" To: Sent: Sunday, November 04, 2012 3:34 PM Subject: Re: [CnD] DOODLE CAKE WITH FROSTING thanks.

Re: [CnD] Triple Chocolate Mess
Sorry I didn't include that. When I transferred the recipe to my Apex, I didn't include the size of the package, so I'm glad you asked. It's the four ounce package which I think is the large. I'll try to find out for sure and post on the list, unless someone else knows for sure and can post it. Obviously I haven't made this for a while or I'd know. - Original Message - From: "Nancy Martin" To: Sent: Tuesday, November 06, 2012 5:17 PM Subject: Re: [CnD] Triple Chocolate Mess Hi, So would that instant pudding be the four serving size? thanks, Nancy - Original Message - From: "Allison Fallin" To: "Cooking in the Dark" Sent: Tuesday, November 06, 2012 5:01 PM Subject: [CnD] Triple Chocolate Mess I've made this for a group and it's wonderful, and so easy!

There are 60 minutes in an hour. So that works out to 8 hours. Allison - Original Message - From: "Charles Rivard" Be positive!
