[CnD] Brine before you Grill
Howdy Folks! It is time to break out he grills! We recorded a new cooking show where we grilled steaks, burgers, and chicken. Actually it was boneless skinless chicken breasts and I did not want them to get dry while grilling. I brined them for about 45 minutes in the vaccuvin marinater. (got it at Amazon!) Otherwise I would have let them soak in the brine solution in a bowl in the refrigerator for a couple of hours before grilling. Anyway, long story short, I seared each side of the breast for about 4 minutes on a very hot grill. I had the temp up to high on the gas grill. Then I reduced the heat to a medium, I should hold my hand over the grill about an inch above it for about 4 seconds. I turned them every 4 or five minutes, closing the grill lid each time between turning... Continued this until my Talking Cooking Thermometer read above 180 degrees... They came out great! Very moist and not dry at all! Breasts are so easy to dry out when grilling, especially the boneless skinless ones. To make brine here is the formula I learned for turkeys... it is for a gallon so just reduce it as you need. 1 cup sea salt to 1 gallon water... 1/2 cup sea salt to 1/2 gallon water (8 cups) 1/4 Cup to 1/4 gallon (4 cups - Quart) 1/8 Cup (2 Tablespoons) to 2 cups, 16 ounces, Pint Put your bird into the container you are going to use and pour the brine solution in until it covers the bird by about an inch. Let refrigerate for about 2/3 hours before grilling. The grilling show will be posted next week. Peace, Dale Campbell ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
Re: [CnD] Frustrations in the kitchen sometimes
Losing something you just had in your hand a second ago will drive you crazy! Where did I put it? I have asked myself a million times it seems. It especially gets on my nerves when we have to stop recording a Cooking in the Dark show so I can find what I just had in my hand... To help me keep my blood pressure down, I have tried to teach myself to put things back where they go after I have used them I am still trying to teach myself this. Getting better but I did lose the hot sauce today... I have taught myself to lean my cooking utensil, spoon, spatula, tongs, etc, in the sink... actually I lean them in the front left and corner of my sink. That way when I need to grab the utensil, I always know where they are... Keep on trucking Jerry! Heck, once when I was making a meat loaf, I accidentally added a package of vanilla pudding...I thought it was my bag of onion and mushroom soup mix... Anyway, that meat loaf was sweet and it was orange! I did not figure out why it was that way until after dinner...my wife still won't let me live that one down ! (grin) Dale Campbell Owner- Cooking In The Dark List Cooking In The Dark Home Cook Hi all. So sometimes when Im cooking, I forget where I set things down like the garlic or a bottle of sauce. The other day I was frying some corn taco shells and kept losing the tongs. Sometimes...or most of the time the kids will need me for something and I get distracted. Does this happen to any of you?

[CnD] Straining Pasta Solutions Pasta info
Hi All, First, pasta takes10 minutes to cook. Get your water boiling, add the pasta, and set your timer. After ten minutes, strain and to stop it cooking, run cold water over it. for Arlene (sorry spelling may not be correct) pasta, boil about seven minutes and strain...then run cold water over it or submerse in cold water for a few seconds. Here are a couple of items I use for straining pasta. One is the over the sink collapsible colander... Since this hangs over the sink, it doesn't get turned over and is easy to hit with the pasta when pouring it through the colander. Of course this colander has a lot more useful applications than just straining pasta. The locking lid pot is another awesome item. The lid acts as a colander. Just a twist locks it in place. Then just flip the pot over above the sink and it will drain the water and hold the contents in the pot. I also use this pot for boiling eggs. More detailed info on both of these items is below. Keep on Cooking! Dale Campbell Host: Cooking in the Dark Show The colander is in the Blind Mice Mart store and the pot is in the V I P Adaptive store at www.BlindMiceMegaMall.com Collapsible Colander - Over The Sink Product ID: CC-13 Expand to use, collapse to store! This Over-The-Sink Colander is a kitchen essential. Perfect for draining pasta or rinsing fruits and vegetables. The Over-the-Sink Colander performs all the same functions of a standard colander. Its flexible sides allows it to fold to 1/3 its original size to take up less space on the shelf or in the cabinet. The Collapsible Over-the-Sink Colander can even be cleaned in the dishwasher in the collapsed position. Arms extend up to 24 inches for placement over the sink. Specially designed hole pattern allows water to drain quickly and easily. Collapsible to save on storage space. Rigid design allows colander to stand on its own yet still folds easily for storage. Non-skid tabs on handles keeps colander in place during use. Colander can be used collapsed for smaller jobs or expanded for larger.

[CnD] Skillet-Sizzled Cornbread
This is perfect with beans, gumbo, or what we are having in the Campbell house tonight, chili! Dale's Hint: Be sure to heat up the skillet a while before adding the butter and to preheat your oven! Sizzled Cornbread Ingredients: 1 cup stone ground yellow cornmeal 1 cup unbleached white flour 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1 to 3 tablespoons sugar 1 1/4 cup buttermilk (or 1 cup plain yogurt mixed with 1/4 cup water) 1 large egg 1/4 cup mild vegetable oil, such as corn, canola, or peanut Pam 2 to 4 tablespoons butter Directions: Preheat oven to 375. Make sure your oven's accurate, too; it really needs to be up to temperature to get perfect results. In a large bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and sugar. (If baking powder or soda appear at all lumpy, sift them in). Stir well to combine. In a small bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg, and oil. Spray a 9 to 10 ¼ -inch cast iron skillet with Pam (our skillets are 10 1/4 inch; this size is called a Number 7). Put the skillet on over medium heat, add the butter, and heat until the butter melts and is sizzling seriously. Tilt the pan to coat the sides of the skillet. As the butter's melting, quickly pour the wet ingredients into the dry, and, using a wooden spoon, stir the wet and dry together with as few strokes as possible --- only as many as are needed to combine the two. Don't beat it; don't smooth it out. Scrape the batter into the hot, buttery skillet --- if you've gotten it hot enough it will sizzle as it goes in --- and pop it in the oven immediately. Bake until golden brown on top, about 25 to 30 minutes. Serve, hot, cut in wedges. ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
[CnD] What's the Difference? Creole vs Cajun Cooking
Howdy everyone, I came across this article and thought our Cooking In The Dark list members needed a little education. Do you think creole and cajun cooking are the same... Be careful with your answer... you might not be right! Keep on Cooking! Dale Campbell Cooking In The Dark List Owner Cajun vs. Creole Food - What is the Difference? Compared to Louisiana, other states have it easy. Sure, Louisiana is home of the Big Easy and the locals are known for our joie de vivre, but we are also parents to some of the most precious cuisines in the world. While we may, on occasion, have one too many Bloody Marys at Sunday brunch or add some punch to our milk, we don't take our responsibility lightly. Like real parenting, this job has no vacations. Even when away from the motherland, Louisianans still find ourselves bragging about and, on occasion, having to defend our pride and joy. Perhaps the most difficult task is explaining Louisiana food in a few short sentences. Of course, a Louisianan would prefer to sit down, put on a pot of coffee or pour a cold beer, and talk about it. However, we've come to learn that most people don't have the time to do that. So if you're versed on Louisiana history and culture, then all you really need to know is that Creole cuisine uses tomatoes and proper Cajun food does not. You can stop reading now. That's how you tell a Cajun vs. Creole gumbo or jambalaya. You're welcome (to be fair, some Cajun food, such as a sauce piquant, does include tomatoes as a key ingredient). However, if you'd like to know more, please continue reading so that you can learn why the terms Cajun and Creole that have become used so loosely and interchangeably when describing Louisiana food, are not at all the same. A vastly simplified way to describe the two cuisines is to deem Creole cuisine as city food while Cajun cuisine is often referred to as country food. While many of the ingredients in Cajun and Creole dishes are similar, the real difference between the two styles is the people behind these famous cuisines. They say in order to really know someone, meet their family. The same goes for food. In Louisiana, the best place to find authentic Cajun and Creole cooking is in homes across the state, which is what makes the food so special. Many of Louisiana's most talented chefs learned their trade from their parents or grandparents. Cajun and Creole are two distinct cultures, and while over the years they continue to blend, there is still a vast distinction in Louisiana, and both have their own unique stories. Cajun Food The word Cajun originates from the term les Acadians, which was used to describe French colonists who settled in the Acadia region of Canada which consisted of present-day New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia. With the British Conquest of Acadia in the early 1700s, the Acadians were forcibly removed from their home in what become known as Le Grand Derangement, or the Great Upheaval. Many Acadians eventually settled in the swampy region of Louisiana that is today known as Acadiana. Actually, four regions of south Louisiana were settled by the Cajuns, each with different resources and influences. Those distinct areas are the levees and bayous (Lafourche and Teche), prairies (Attakapas Indian land), swamplands (Atchafalaya Basin), and coastal marshes (New Orleans area and Houma). The Acadians were an extremely resourceful people who combined the flatlands, bayous, and wild game of South Louisiana with its proximity to the Gulf of Mexico to create a truly unique local cuisine. While many Acadiana residents today have Native American, German, French, or Italian roots, among others (which have all influence Louisiana Cuisine in the their own ways), their way of life is strongly influenced by the Cajun culture. Along with its food, this rural area of Louisiana is famous for its Cajun French music and language. ? With no access to modern-day luxuries like refrigerators, early Cajuns learned to make use of every part of a slaughtered animal. When a pig is butchered the event is called a boucherie. Boudin , a type of Cajun sausage which consists of pork meat, rice, and seasoning stuffed into a casing, also commonly contains pig liver for a little extra flavor. Tasso and Andouille are two other Cajun pork products that use salts and smoke as preservatives. Cajun food is famous for being very well seasoned which is sometimes misunderstood as spicy. Seasoning is one of the most important parts of Cajun cooking, and that comes from much more than a heavy helping of cayenne pepper. Most dishes begin with a medley of vegetables based on the French mirepoix. The holy trinity of Cajun cuisine utilizes onion, celery, and bell pepper (rather than carrots) to provide a flavor base for many dishes. Garlic is never far away from any stove, either. Paprika, thyme, file (ground sassafras leaves), parsley, green onions, and much

[CnD] Black Bean Chicken
Here is a fast one I made last night... Ann Bliss sent me this recipe a while back and it is always delicious. I used 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, one 15 ounce can black beans and one can of hunt's diced tomatoes with roasted garlic about 14/15 ounce can. This is also great with two cans of Rotel tomatoes or just a can of diced tomatoes. ... Preheat your oven to 350 F. I lined a 9 x 13 cake pan with foil just to make clean up easier. Dump in the can of black beans, undrained, into the cake pan and spread out. Next do the same with the tomatoes... Now place the chicken breasts on top of the beans; be sure to not let the chicken touch if possible. Season the chicken, I used a little fresh ground pepper, Adobe seasoning, and a sprinkle or two of garlic powder. Cover the pan with foil, and bake for about 45 minutes... Served over a bed of greens, i use romain lettuce and spinach leaf, pasta, rice, or it is great over nothing too. I used spiral pasta last night! To serve, put a chicken breast on top of your bed, greens, pasta, or rice... Cover the chicken breast with the black beans and tomatoes from the pan. Enjoy! Keep on Cooking!

[CnD] Beer Butt Chicken
We usually do this on the grill or smoker, but this one I did in the oven. I used a 5 pound hen, seasonings and rubs, and a can of beer...I choose Budweiser. Lower your oven rack to its lowest point. Preheat your oven to 250 F. I removed the organs from the bird's cavity and wash it under running water. I salted and peppered the cavity and I next separated the skin and used a little of my favorite dry rub on the breast meat of the bird. Then after pressing the skin back down, I rubbed a little olive oil on it. Ready for salt and pepper and a little Adobe too. The oven was preheated at 250 degrees F and was ready to receive the bird! . Now with the bird seasoned and ready to go, I opened the beer and put it in the birds cavity, open end up... I transferred the bird and its beer to a 10 by 13 baking pan, and with the bird standing upright on the beer, slowly and gently placed the bird in the oven... it looked like it was standing in the oven! I baked it for 3 and a half hours. I checked the temperature of the bird's thigh and my talking cooking thermometer gave me a temp of 181 F. Perfect1 I pulled the bird out and let him rest for a few minutes...probably about 10. My wife said it looked delicious standing there! I lifted the bird up and at the same time pulled down on the beer can. Be careful, the can is a little hot and so is the beer that is still in the can. With the beer removed, we practiced our Thanksgiving Turkey carving on it and it was delicious! ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark

Jim, Welcome to the list. The Koschutta store at Blind Mice Mega Mall has slow cookers/ crock pots. They have the simple models, with settings of off, low, high,and warm. Unfortunately nothing digital is adapted with speech for the blind.

I'm a bachelor who is hardly ever home and doesn't have time for a lot of cooking, but I'm also hoping that will change because it's expensive to eat out a lot. I can do a bit more than boil water, but don't ask me to cook, for a ton of people, things that aren't easy. Anyway, here's my question. Being new to the list, I have absolutely no idea if this question has been asked, and if so, please forgive the repeated question. So, after about 20 years of having a very simple slow cooker, it's time for a new one after I was somewhat careless and breaking mine a little while ago. I'm a bachelor, and slow cooker or Crockpot recipes are great for me because I don't have to worry about much effort when it comes to cooking. However, lately, I seem to be getting home later than before, easily being out of the house for twelve hours. Some of the recipes I've done call for cooking somewhere between six and eight hours, and after twelve hours, some foods kind of dry out or become somewhat sticky or like paste grin. So, do any of you have any recommendations for a good slow cooker or Crockpot with perhaps a timer function that would be accessible to blind people? I somehow doubt there'll be one that does what I'm looking for, but I just thought I'd ask.especially blind people who might have similar experiences. I've been online, looking at the supposedly easy programmable ones, but what scares me is the digital setting ability. Any suggestions would be great.

Re: [CnD] Question About Using the Mandolin
Shirley, I place the mandolin flat across a bowl. I place the little finger cut outs at the blade end on one side of the bowl and the handle on the other. This allows me to hold the mandolin and also slide the food item through the blade using the finger guard of course. The food slices off and falls into the bowl. You can select the thickness of the slice by sliding the bar on the back of the mandolin up. With it all the way down, towards the end with the blade, it will be closed...the platform will be even or a little above the blade. The slide bar has three thickness settings. The first stop is very thin... I use it for potato chips... Hope this helps. Dale How do you get in touch with Dale to ask him to give you instructions on how to use a product?

I've gone back to using it, but I'm a lot more cautious now, especially with keeping fingers tucked so as not to come too close to the blade. I can't figure out how to use the finger guard.

[CnD] 4th of July Recipes?
Okay Folks, Share your favorite recipes for the 4th of July or any summer outing...Memorial Day, Labor Day, a family reunion... My favorite thing to take is Dale's Broccoli Slaw! I will post it shortly. Peace, Dale Campbell Host The Cooking in the Dark Show Cooking In The Dark List Owner ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
[CnD] Dale's Broccoli Slaw
This broccoli slaw will be a big hit and it is so easy to prepare It makes quite a lot so I sometimes will mix it up in a 12 quart pot... I got it word of mouth from an old neighbor at a neighborhood pot luck. The horseradish in it gives it a unique taste that will have them coming back for seconds and maybe thirds! I have made a few changes to her original recipe so without delay, here is: Dale's Broccoli Slaw Ingredients: 2 10/12 ounce bags broccoli slaw *I have used regular Cole slaw if not available. 1 10/12 ounce bag broccoli florets or small whole broccoli head 1 pint sliced white mushrooms 16 ounce jar/bottle mayonnaise 2 to 4 tablespoons prepared horseradish 6 slices bacon, crispy 1 10/12 ounce bag shredded cheddar cheese 1/4 cup sunflower seeds Directions In a large bowl, combine broccoli slaw, broccoli florets, and mushrooms The broccoli florets and mushrooms should be in bite sized pieces. You might need to cut the broccoli florets into smaller pieces and break the mushroom slices into smaller pieces too. Fold these together with your hands just to mix them a little and set aside. In a second bowl, the 4 cup Pourfect Mixing Bowl works great here, combine the mayonnaise with the horseradish. This controls the taste of this awesome salad. If you are not sure how much to put in, start with a single tablespoon, mix it into the mayo and give it a taste. You want it to be noticed...kind of like a salsa that has just a little bite to it. I use about 3 tablespoons for family outings and 4 tablespoons for my Monday Night Football Crowd. Now add the crumbled bacon, cheese, and sunflower seeds. Now it is time to get messy! Combine the mayo/horseradish with the slaw misture. (Note: Be sure to remove jewelry. You might also want to turn on the water at the sink to rinse your hands...don't forget a towel too) Bet your hands into the mixture and mix it up thoroughly. Be sure to get the stuff at the bottom to the top... Once the mayo has coated the slaw misture, scrape off any of Dale's Broccoli Slaw that might be clinging to your hands and fingers... Notes: Add about a cup of Golden or Purple Raisins once a while too. I have done it with when I left the party, the bowl was empty!. grapes sliced in half lengthwise are a nice substitution for the raisins. Enjoy!

[CnD] O/T: Schwans No Longer Producing Braille Documents
Howdy Everyone, I received the message below from Brenda Mueller. Please take a minute to read. Another valuable service for the blind is no longer being provided. *** For years I have been ordering from Schwans, and one of that company's outstanding features was that it provided braille catalogs and cooking instructions to its blind clients. Today I called for a current copy of the product catalog and a current braille copy of its cooking instructions that would cover the new products such as baked zitti. As it turns out, according to the representative, Schwans is no longer producing the brailled catalogs or instructions. I really took advantage of that service. I would think that other blind customers have done the same, and I think the blind users should be notified, so that we can make our views known and perhaps restore the brailled ordering catalogs and cooking instructions.

Today I called for a current copy of the product catalog and a current braille copy of its cooking instructions that would cover the new products such as baked zitti. As it turns out, according to the representative, Schwans is no longer producing the brailled catalogs or instructions. I really took advantage of that service. I would think that other blind customers have done the same, and I think the blind users should be notified, so that we can make our views known and perhaps restore the brailled ordering catalogs and cooking instructions. Since Schwans is a home delivery service it provided a more convenient way to obtain foods without paying taxi fares to the groceries store Thank you. Brenda Mueller Please share this with other blind friends. I will be calling Schwans Monday to lodge a complaint and voice my dissatisfaction about this matter. I encourage you to call also. Schwans 188-724-9267 a list member asking to pass along. Keep on Cooking, Dale Campbell Cooking In The Dark ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
[CnD] Beer Bread! Delicious and EASY
Hi Folks! The Cooking in the Dark show is back after a brief, well a long brief break! Here is a recipe we make on the first show of the season! It is easy and delicious! Beer Bread 3 cups flour 3 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup sugar 1 12 ounce beer, a dark or stout beer works best... I used Shiner Boch do not use light beer like Miller Lite, Bud Light, etc. Directions: Combine and blend all dry ingredients. Add the beer and mix well. Put into a 3 by 8 loaf pan sprayed with vegetable oil and press down to even out in the loaf pan. Hint: wet your hands under the faucet before handling the dough to reduce sticking... the dough will be pretty sticky. Bake at 400 degrees F for 60 to 70 minutes. or until the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on top The crust will be pretty hard but it will be soft and tasty inside! Add our pod cast address to your pod catcher and never miss a Cooking in the Dark Show again! http://www.CookingInTheDark.libsyn.com/rss Visit the archives of Cooking in the Dark at http://www.CookingInTheDark.libsyn.com ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
[CnD] Ooey Gooey Caramel Cookies
Howdy Ya'll, I do not remember who posted this awesome cookie recipe. I apologize for that. My notes to myself concerning this recipe are also included. These are slightly different than the original's notes. And just as the person that posted this said, These will go fast... And they will! Ooey Gooey Caramel Cookies 1 cup butter, softened 3/4 cup packed brown sugar 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1 egg 2 tsp. vanilla extract 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tsp. baking soda Pinch of salt 6 squares (1 oz. each) chocolate, chopped or use semi- sweet chocolate chips ** I substituted 3/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips. 25 individually wrapped vanilla caramels, quartered (I recommend Kraft Caramels) ** I substituted 3/4 cup caramel tidbits. Much easier and faster. 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional) ** Go ahead, add the nuts! Walnuts are a good substitute. Instructions: 1. Preheat oven to 375°F/190°C ** (I baked at 350°F/180°C). Line cookie sheet with parchment paper. This is a must. The cookies will stick to the pan if it's not lined with parchment 2. Cream butter, sugars, egg and vanilla in a large bowl on medium speed of electric mixer until light and creamy. 3. Combine flour, baking soda and salt. Add to creamed mixture, beating on low speed until blended. Stir in remaining ingredients by hand. ** I used my impeccably clean hands to mix. I got a good feel when it was mixed well. Drop spoonfuls at least 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheet. The cookies will bake out to about 3 inches in diameter. ** If you are careful and keep your cookie dough on the parchment paper, clean up will be a breeze! Bake for 8 to 12 minutes ** I baked mine for 12 minutes. at 350°F/180°C). 5. Cool for 5 minutes then transfer to rack and cool completely. ** After letting the cookies cool on the cookie sheet for five minutes, I just slid the parchment paper from the cookie sheet to the cooling rack. After about 10 minutes, the cookies were cool enough to lift off the parchment paper. After lifting the cookie off, I put it back down on the parchment paper until completely cool. The bottoms of the cookies will remain sticky until completely cool. Note: You may substitute white chocolate chips or chunks for the semi- sweet chocolate. Makes 3 dozen (3-inch) cookies. ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark

Re: [CnD] making tacos
First go to the cooking in the dark archives and listen to one of the shows Dale does making tacos. If you squeeze the meat, tit will be crumbly feeling when cooked. It will still feel soft and doughy if not browned completely. If you stir slowly from the outside edge of the pan towards the center of the pan, y0ou won't be as prone to flipping the meat out of the pan. Some folks us a small, about 4 quart, pot to brown their taco meat. Another suggestion is to use a skillet called a chicken fryer. It is usually about 12 to 14 inches in diameter and has tall sides, about 3 inches or so that are perpendicular to the pan bottom instead of angled like a regular skillet. I use chicken a lot for our tacos. I toss in about four boneless skinless chicken breasts, usually still frozen into a skillet. I add about a half cup of water, cover and let steam/cook for about ten minutes on medium heat. I flip the breasts over and let go another 5 to 6 minutes. Then I turn the heat to low, pull the chicken breasts out and put under cold water to cool. I shred the chicken breasts, return to the skillet, and add my seasoning. Mix everything together. You can stir in little wisps, starting at the edge of the skillet and moving towards the center of the skillet or take a spatula and just scoop up some of the meat and turn over...repeat either procedure a few times. Cover and let simmer for about 10 minutes on medium low. Take the lid off and mix again. Cover and let simmer for another 10 minutes or so. Then mix again and this time leave off the lid. Let the meat continue to simmer uncovered for another 10 minutes or so. This will help cook off some of the liquid in the chicken. Turn off the heat, fill your shells, add your favorite toppings like tomatoes, lettuce, salsa sour cream jalapenos, etc and enjoy. For crispy shells, hang them on your oven rack and heat for about 3 or 4 minutes just before eating! I start heating the oven at 350. While the oven is heating up I hang the shells on the oven rack. slide in the rack and let them bake for about five minutes. Turn the oven off and the shells will stay hot until you are ready for them. We pull out a few and leave the rest in the oven until we are ready for them. Dale Hello all. Tonight I had my first experience making tacos. I had a few issues, and a couple of questions. How do you guys tell when the meat is completely done? When I thought it was done, sighted people said there was still some red meat there. Also I had a lot of trouble stirring in the seasonings and water and getting incorporated. I was afraid I was going to start throwing the meat everywhere, so for that reason I'm a bit timid. Do you guys have any tips on making taco meat? Thanks so much.

Re: [CnD] Better techniques for spreading
Will, After a little practice you will be able to feel through the knife or spoon where the spread you are applying is either on the bread or where it is not. I practiced with a piece of toast at first and after getting the technique down, I practiced with untoasted bread. Toast is a little firmer and a little rougher than a piece of bread so it gives a good tactile reference to allow you to feel through the knife where you have or have not buttered it. run the knife across the toast without any spread on it so you can get to know the feel of it through the knife without anything on the toast. I used peanut butter to practice with since it is a little thicker and stickier than regular butter... plus I love peanut butter and enjoyed practicing and eating my mistakes and successes! (grin) To butter, I usually start at one edge and spread towards the middle. I do the same at the opposite side buttering again towards the middle. Then I spread from the middle to the two edges that I did not butter. After doing this, I trail the knife blade along the edges, from corner to corner, to hopefully completely cover the entire piece of the toast. As you spread the peanut butter on the toast, be conscious of the feel of the toast and peanut butter under your knife... you should be able to detect where there is peanut butter and where it is missing on the toast. When you reach the point where you think the peanut butter is covering the toast, go ahead and inspect your work by taking a look at it with your fingers... Practice makes perfect! The more you do it the easier it will become. Remember, there is no right or wrong way to apply a spread, butter, peanut butter, mayo, mustard, etc, and this is just my technique... After a bit of doing it I am sure you will have great success doing it your way! Good luck...

Re: [CnD] Spreading Peanut Butter, and Fancy Lines on Frosted Cakes and Brownies!
Howdy Members, ACBRadio, our host for the cooking in the dark list, will be moving servers. This move will start Monday and could take until Wednesday to complete. So folks if the server is down, you are not getting e-mail from the list, or you are unable to post to the list, this is why. Please read the following blurb from the folks at ACB Radio concerning this move for more information. Thank You, Dale Campbell Cooking in the Dark ** We will be temporarily moving to the Implex server until the new datacenter has the new server online. The Implex server currently houses the acb.org, brailleauthority.org, ccbnet.org and cclvi.org websites. The only drawback in the short term is we won't be able to have all of the on demand archives available due to disk space limitations. Now to get to this point we are going to have to transfer the domains from one server to another so this means there will be some extended outages on the ACB Radio streams as well as the lists and websites. The lists that will be affected are the lists that have acbradio.org as their domain. These lists include friends, mm-friends, mailto:annou...@acbradio.organnou...@acbradio.org, cookinginthedark, christianjustice and other staff lists associated with ACBRadio. Much of these changes will begin tomorrow evening and may last well in to Tuesday.

[CnD] Everyone Please Read: Changes to ACB Radio - Might affect Cook n Dark List
Cooking in the Dark List Members, Pasted below is a message we received from ACB Radio concerning a move to a new server. This move could disrupt service on the Cooking In The Dark List from Monday, January 14th until Wednesday January 16th. Give the following a read if you would like to know what they are doing and why. Dale Campbell Owner: Cooking In The Dark - Original Message - From: mailto:kc8...@bellsouth.netLarry Turnbull Sent: Sunday, January 13, 2013 8:20 AM Subject: [Friends] Important changes coming to ACBRadio over the next fewdays Hello everybody: I have some exciting news about some changes coming to ACB Radio. First of all we will be moving to a new server. Unfortunately it won't be the final new server quite yet as that server isn't quite ready. We will be temporarily moving to the Implex server until the new datacenter has the new server online. The Implex server currently houses the acb.org, brailleauthority.org, ccbnet.org and cclvi.org websites. The only drawback in the short term is we won't be able to have all of the on demand archives available due to disk space limitations. Once we get to our final new server that will be resolved. On Tuesday January 15, 2013 we will be launching the new ACB Radio website. This site is in drupal and will give us much more capability in adding more features such as rss feeds, easy to use contact forms and much more! When it launches it will have the current schedules for ACBRadio Interactive, ACB Radio Mainstream, and ACB radio World News and Information. The schedules will be in the US eastern time zone. Other time zones may be added at a later date. The schedules will be very easy to get to with out having to hunt all over the site to find them. All you will have to do is click on the ACB Radio schedule link on the main page and choose the day of the week you wish to inquire about. On that page you will see the times for your favorite shows grouped by stream. For example you would see a heading for each stream and the shows and their times listed under that heading. Then to listen to ACB Radio you would just click on the listen to acbradio link and scroll down to the stream you want to listen to. Each stream will have its own heading and under that heading you can choose the link for your connection speed and player of choice. The on demand won't be available when we go live but we will be bringing in the archives and making them available as quickly as possible. Also in the near future we will be working on adding the rss capability for the front page and for each show that we are currently airing on ACb Radio. Eventually we will be bringing the mainmenu.acbradio.org website in to drupal but that will be a while yet. Now to get to this point we are going to have to transfer the domains from one server to another so this means there will be some extended outages on the ACB Radio streams as well as the lists and websites. The lists that will be affected are the lists that have acbradio.org as their domain. These lists include friends, mm-friends, mailto:annou...@acbradio.organnou...@acbradio.org, cookinginthedark, christianjustice and other staff lists associated with ACBRadio. Much of these changes will begin tomorrow evening and may last well in to Tuesday. We hope to have everything completed by early Wednesday morning. Also we are launching a new stream. The new stream is called World News and Information. It will reside where world is now. This stream will feature news and information from around the world 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The content will come from outlets such as Voice of America news, United Nations Media and others. We are looking to launch this stream no later than Friday January 18, 2013. Please be patient as we go through these changes and we will keep you posted on what is going on as soon as we have updated information. If you have any questions feel free to send them to me at mailto:la...@acbradio.orgla...@acbradio.org. ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
Re: [CnD] dumplings.
I got this recipe from Sally. This recipe also doubles easily for more dumplings! I use it when I make chicken and dumplings Dumplings One cup flour two tsp's baking powder 1/2 tsp salt. 1/2 cup milk two tbsp's salad oil Stir until all is moistened. I have added just a little more flour for more easily handling but you want them to be somewhat moist. Drop on boiling stew. Cover tightly and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 12-15 minutes. (do not lift the cover until finished cooking. When measuring each dumpling dip the spoon in the hot soup as the dumplings will slide off the spoon more easily that way. I usually go in a clockwise fashion when putting the dumplings in the soup. ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
Re: [CnD] Looking for A Recipe Using Rollos and Pretzels
I imagine it would work with foil too. You might lightly spray the foil with a little vegetable spray just incase the chocolate melts a lot onto the foil.

[CnD] Slow-Roast Turkey with 40 Cloves of Garlic and White Wine Pan Gravy
Slow-Roast Turkey with 40 Cloves of Garlic and White Wine Pan Gravy Prep time: 1.5 - 2 hours, divided over a couple of days Roasting time: 3 - 4 3/4 hours for a 12 to 20-pound bird that is not stuffed Total time: 4.5 - 6 3/4 hours Yield: Serves 8 to 25 depending on the size of your turkey The gravy broth can be prepared a week ahead and frozen; the garlic and turkey seasoning can be prepped a day in advance. Slow roasting whole cloves of garlic with the turkey takes the buds from raunchy to sweet and as endearing as a babe. They scent the pan juices and mellow your gravy. I guarantee that this recipe will not clear the house or your sinuses. In fact, I think garlic, like certain chiles, has a lovely mellowing effect on gatherings. If you can, season the bird the day before. Remember that once the turkey is cooked, it needs 15 to 25 minutes of rest this is your grace period to warm up sides, make the pan gravy and breathe. If you need to hold off serving, the turkey could be turned down to 275º F, but donât let the breast meat cook beyond 170º F on an instant-reading thermometer. Cook to Cook: As for selecting a turkey, my personal preferences run something like this: The best buy for our scant dollars is a basic supermarket turkey (not self basting youâre paying for water and salt). It will work brilliantly here. For more money Iâd choose a turkey raised solely on vegetarian feed (free range or not). If your ship is coming in, I would go for a certified organic or heritage bird. When youâre ready to roast, be sure to use a large, shallow pan, not the usual deep turkey roaster, and nurture the bird with its own juices by basting often. Ingredients Seasoning the Turkey (do a day ahead, if possible): 4 to 5 heads of garlic (yes, that's right, heads) 1/2 medium onion A generous 1/2 teaspoon each whole all spice and black peppercorns, ground very fine, or 3/4 teaspoon of each spice, pre-ground 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves 1/3 cup tight-packed fresh basil leaves 1 generous teaspoon dried basil A generous pinch hot red pepper flakes 1 tablespoon tomato paste 1 tablespoon honey 8 large garlic cloves (from the garlic above) Juice of 1/2 a lemon, or more to taste 1/3 cup good tasting extra virgin olive oil 2 thick slices of bacon 12 to 20 pound turkey (see Cook to Cook), giblets, neck and wing tips saved for the gravy One recipe: White Wine Pan Gravy Roasting: Coarse salt About 1 bottle dry white wine (sauvignon blanc or pinot grigio) 3 stalks celery with leaves 2 medium onions, cut into 1/2-inch thick rounds 2 large carrots, cut in half lengthwise Garnish: 5-6 springs of pine or 2 large bunches of Italian parsley or 2 bundles of fresh thyme Instructions 1. Up to a day ahead, prep the garlic. Don't break off the cloves, just set the heads, root down, on a work surface and give each head a whack with the bottom of a sturdy saucepan. You want to break up the head and partially crush the cloves so you can slip off their skins. Slip them off. Bring medium size sauce pan of water to a boil, boil the cloves 2 minutes, drain in a colander and rinse with cold water to chill. Set aside the 8 cloves needed for the turkey seasoning. If not using the garlic right away, put it in a container, loosely cover (don't seal it) and chill. 2. A day ahead if possible, season the turkey. Put all of the seasonings (except for the bacon) into a food processor with the 8 garlic cloves. Purée everything. Taste for a distinctive taste of lemon add more if needed. Then purée in the bacon. Now season the bird under its skin by starting with the breast down at the cavity end. Gently run your fingers under the skin up to the top of the bird, and spoon in several tablespoons of seasonings. Do the same with the thigh and leg areas as well. You will probably have a third or more of the seasonings left. Cover it up and store in the fridge. Put the turkey on a platter, loosely cover it and chill over night. 3. The next day, take the turkey out of the refrigerator an hour before roasting. Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Cluster the celery, carrot and onion in the center of a shallow roasting pan so they make a rack for the turkey. Rub the reserved seasonings over the entire turkey and into the cavity. Sprinkle the bird on all sides with salt. Set it breast down on the vegetables, and lower heat to 325ºF. 4. Count on roasting the turkey for about 13 to 15 minutes to the pound, or until an instant reading thermometer tucked into the breast reads 170º to 175ºF. 5. After the first 30 minutes, pour 1/3 of the wine over the bird, and baste frequently with pan juices. After another half hour, add another 1/3 of the wine. Then baste with pan juices. When the turkey is 90 minutes from being done, add the garlic with the remaining wine to the pan juices. Keep basting the bird as usual. Take care that the garlic doesn't burn keep it moistened with pan juices. 6. An

Squeeze cookie near the tip and again near the center of each to give the impression of knuckles. You can also cut into the dough with a sharp knife at the same points to help give a more finger-like appearance. Arrange the shaped cookies on the baking sheets. 4. Bake in the preheated oven until the cookies are slightly golden in color, 20 to 25 minutes. 5. Remove the almond from the end of each cookie; squeeze a small amount of red decorating gel into the cavity; replace the almond to cause the gel to ooze out around the tip of the cookie. list end ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark

[CnD] Tried Pea Pod? Re: SHOPPING FOR GROCERIES ON Amazon
Have you tried Pea Pod for groceries. Unfortunately, they are not in every market. Visit Peapod.com. You can check on line by entering your zip code to see if they are in your area. If they are available in your area, they are an easy and great way to shop. I used them all the time until they pulled out of Houston. Tim and Cheryl use them in Boston. They charge a small fee and 1 or 2 percent of your order total. All in all, on an order of about 250 dollars, the fee was under 10 dollars. That is well worth it to me not to have to go to the store. If you get something you are not happy with like produce, they will take it back at the time of delivery. they even will help put things away...or at least they did here when I used to use hem.

[CnD] Chicken Tacos with Chipotle Sour Cream
Chicken Tacos with Chipotle Sour Cream BY TED ALLEN I loved taco night when I was a kid, when it meant yellow cheese, seasonings from a packet, and machine-molded tortilla shells -- essentially, an insult to all of Mexico in one convenient box. It is, of course, better to make real tacos with sweet fresh flour tortillas. 2 servings 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 1 medium red onion, chopped 1/2 red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and chopped 2 teaspoons smoked sweet paprika 2 teaspoons chili powder 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 medium tomato, chopped 2 cups shredded cooked chicken 6 (6-inch) flour tortillas 2 teaspoons minced canned chipotle peppers in adobo 1/2 cup sour cream Shredded lettuce 3 scallions (white and green parts), chopped Crumbled queso fresco (fresh, white Mexican cheese) 1. In a sauté pan over medium heat, warm the oil and cook the onion, bell pepper, paprika, chili powder, oregano, cumin, and salt until the veggies are soft, 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Stir in the tomato and chicken, and cook until the filling is heated through, stirring, about 3 minutes. 2. Warm the tortillas in moistened paper towels in the microwave for 30 seconds, or for a few seconds in a dry skillet over high heat. Stir the chipotle into the sour cream. 3. Pile the filling into the tortillas, topping with chipotle sour cream, lettuce, scallions, and queso fresco. ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
Re: [CnD] Keeping lettuce.
When I buy lettuce, I don't purchase iceberg... I usually buy green leaf or romain. These lettuces have a nutritional value where as iceberg is basically just water. To store the leafy lettuces, dampen a paper towel... I will wet one corner of the towel and then wad it up so the rest of the towel absorbs the water... again you want it damp, not soaking. Wrap the paper towel around the lettuce and replace in the plastic bag it came in from the grocery store. I have had a head that has keep fresh this way for about a week now. Peace ya'll!

[CnD] Top Secret Recipe: 5 Star: Urban Tavern's Spice-Braised Pork Ribs
A 5 star secret recipe from one of the best restaurants in San Francisco. Urban Tavern is located in the heart of the city and features a delicious gastropub menu. Their braised baby back ribs are always in demand. These slow-cooked ribs are so tender and richly flavored with an interesting blend of spices. To prepare these ribs at home you will need a very large roasting pan to fit the 2 racks of ribs. New 5 Star Secret Recipe =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Urban Tavern's Spice-Braised Pork Ribs Spice rub: 1/2 cup fennel seeds 1/2 cup coriander seeds 2 tablespoons ginger powder 2 tablespoons ground nutmeg 1 tablespoon smoked paprika 2 tablespoons kosher salt 1 teaspoon black pepper 1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder In a medium sauté pan heated over medium heat, toast the fennel and coriander seeds until aromatic, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cool completely. Grind the fennel and coriander seeds to a fine powder using a spice mill or coffee grinder, then combine with the ginger, nutmeg, paprika, salt, black pepper and cayenne powder to form a rub. This makes a generous 1 cup rub, and you may not use all of it for the final recipe. Store the rub in an airtight jar or sealable plastic bag in a cool, dark place up to 4 to 6 weeks. Braised pork ribs: 2 racks pork ribs, preferably St. Louis-style, silverskin removed Spice rub 1 cup apple cider 2 cups chicken broth 2 cups beef broth 2 bay leaves Salt and pepper 2 1/2 cups diced apples, about 2 apples 2 1/4 cups diced onion, about 1 onion, Scant 1 cup diced carrots, about 2 carrots 1 1/2 cups diced celery hearts, from about 1 bunch Coat the rib racks generously on each side with the spice rub. Refrigerate, uncovered, overnight to season. The next day, in a large saucepan, bring the cider, chicken and beef broths and bay leaves to a boil over high heat. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat the oven to the broiler setting. Place the rib racks on a rack over a rimmed baking sheet. Broil the racks until browned on each side, about 2 to 4 minutes per side, depending on the heat of the broiler. Reduce the oven heat to 300 degrees. In a large roasting pan, combine the diced apples, onion, carrots and celery heart, and place the seared ribs on top (pour any drippings from the rimmed baking sheet over the ribs). Pour over the hot broth. Cover the pan tightly, first with parchment paper, then a layer of plastic wrap, then with a layer of foil, creating as tight a seal as possible. Place the covered pan in the oven and braise the ribs for 3 hours. Remove the pan from the oven and cool the ribs completely. Skim the fat from the pan and set the ribs aside. Strain the braising liquid (we had about 1 quart) into a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the sauce by half. To reheat the ribs, place the ribs in a roasting pan and pour the sauce over. Place the ribs in a 325-degree oven and heat until the ribs are warmed through before serving.

Re: [CnD] Cooking bacon in the microwave
Randy, In the Blind Mice Mart store in the blind Mice Mega Mall, www.blindmicemart.com a bacon cooker is sold for the microwave. There is a large one and a small one. The large one holds 7 to 9 slices of bacon. A smaller one holds about 4 to six slices. Do a search for Microwave bacon and it will pull both of them up. These can also be stacked to cook more bacon at a single time. Both drain off the grease while the bacon cooks. We will be recording a microwave show featuring the new Magic Chef Talking microwave and some of the things I will be doing is cooking eggs and bacon in it among some other stuff. The show will run in about 2 to three weeks. As the other wonderful members on the list have pointed out, the starting point for bacon is about 1 minute per slice. This varies with the bacon, thin or thick, and with the individual microwave. Two microwaves with identical wattage will most likely cook differently. You will need to experiment a little and cook some bacon as the wonderful members have suggested. When I use the bacon cooker, I line it with a couple of paper towel. Then, as Brittany and others do, I line up my bacon, about 8 slices, and then cover with another paper towel. I microwave it for 7 minutes and let it stand in the microwave for about 4 o 5 minutes more. Remember, foods cooked in a microwave will continue to cook even after it has stopped. The microwaves are still active. This method produces the bacon just as I like it, well for microwaved bacon. Go ahead and grab yourself a plate, line it with paper towels, put some bacon on it, and then cover. Start with the 1 minute per slice and after it is done, let it stand in the microwave for another minute. Then remove it and see where it is at... If it is too crisp, then reduce your cooking time a little bit...if it is not crisp enough, increase your time a little. After a couple of try you will figure out exactly what amount of time is needed for your bacon. Plus, you get to eat the experiments! Bacon is Good!! Keep on Cooking, Dale ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
[CnD] hummingbird nectar
hummingbird nectar Hummingbirds eat a variety of different things, but the food they are most attracted to in many birders backyards is the basic hummingbird nectar recipe. This recipe simulates the natural sucrose content of nectar producing flowers and offers the birds a healthy source of energy and calories. Classic Hummingbird Nectar Recipe To make hummingbird nectar list of 3 items 1. Combine one part white sugar and four parts water. 2. Heat the solution for 1-2 minutes to help the sugar dissolve and slow fermentation. 3. Allow the solution to cool completely before filling feeders. list end Nectar Recipe Tips list of 8 items If your tap water contains heavy chemicals, consider using bottled or purified water for purer nectar. You can also boil the water before adding the sugar to help purify it. Do not use honey, brown sugar, molasses or artificial sugar substitutes for any hummingbird nectar recipe. Honey and molasses (brown sugar contains molasses products) are too heavy for hummingbirds to digest efficiently and can ferment more quickly, creating a mold that is fatal to hummingbirds. Sugar substitutes do not have the caloric energy that hummingbirds need for energy. While boiling will help slow the fermentation of the nectar initially, the nectar in hummingbird feeders is contaminated as soon as it is sipped by a bird. Therefore, it is not necessary to boil the nectar once the sugar has been dissolved. If you use extra fine sugar no boiling may be needed. The ratio of sugar and water can be slightly adjusted, but a solution that is too sweet will be difficult for the birds to digest and one that does not contain enough sugar will not be suitable to attract hummingbirds. The 4:1 water to sugar ratio most closely approximates the sucrose levels in natural nectar. Hummingbird nectar must be completely cool before filling feeders. Hot nectar can warp or crack both glass and plastic hummingbird feeders and warm nectar will ferment more quickly. Commercial hummingbird nectar products may advertise different flavors, vitamins and other additives that are supposed to attract additional birds. These additives are not necessary for hummingbirds health and a simple sugar solution will attract just as many birds as more expensive commercial products. Unused hummingbird nectar can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week. When making your own nectar, adjust the recipe quantity to only make enough for one week to eliminate waste. Clean hummingbird feeders at least once a week and refill them with fresh nectar. In warm weather or when multiple birds are using the feeder, clean them more frequently. list end ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark

[CnD] Dr Seuss Recipes from This Weeks Cooking In The Dark Show
Happy Birthday to Dr Seuss! Here a couple of fun recipes from our Dr Seuss Kitchen Cookbook. Item # r122 This weeks Cooking in the Dark show featured Zan's Cans Chili and Blueberry Bumplings from the cookbook! Last year we made Roast Beast! A full list of the contents of the book follow the recipes if you are interested. Here is the download link for the Dr Seuss Cooking Show: http://www.sendspace.com/file/2p0sp0http://www.sendspace.com/file/2p0sp0 Here are the recipes: ZANS' CANS CHILI At our house We open cans. We have to open Many cans. And that is why We have a Zans.. A Zans for cans Is very good. Have you a Zans for cans? You should. From One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish Even if you don't have a Zans--and few do because of the bans--you should still try to make the Zans chili from cans. 15-1/2 oz can kidney beans 15-1/2 oz can pinto beans 14-1/2 oz can diced tomatoes with sweet onions and roasted garlic or similar 1 lb ground turkey or lean beef 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper 1 tsp paprika 1/4 tsp chili powder, or more if desired 2/3 cup grated mild Cheddar cheese 1/4 cup sour cream 4 sprigs cilantro 1. Drain the beans and put them in a large saucepan with the seasoned tomatoes. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Simmer until the beans are heated through and flavors have blended, about 7 to 10 minutes. 2. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and crumble the turkey or beef into it. Season with the salt, pepper, paprika, and chili powder. Cook until browned, stirring occasionally, about 7 to 10 minutes. 3. Stir the seasoned meat into the beans. 4. Divide the chili among 4 bowls. Top each with cheese, then sour cream, and stick a cilantro sprig in the middle. Makes 4 servings *** BLUEBERRY BUMPLINGS Donuts,dumplings, blueberry bumplings, Chocolate mush-mush, super sweet. Clam stew, ham stew, watermelon wush wush, Oh, the stuff that I could eat! From The Cat in the Hat Songbook The Cat's bumplings are plump things surprisingly like blueberry scones, just right for breakfast or snacking. 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1/3 cup sugar 2 tsps baking powder 1/4 tsp salt 4 ozs butter, softened and cut into small pieces 1/2 cup fresh blueberries (1/2 cup frozen may be substituted) 1 large egg 3/4 cup half-and-half 1. Preheat the oven to 400F. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. 2. Add the butter and mix well with your fingertips until crumbly, then add the fresh blueberries. (If frozen, add them after step 3.) 3. In a small bowl, mix together the egg and the half-and-half, then quickly beat into the flour mixture. Do not overwork. 4. Pat the dough out between sheets of wax paper or plastic wrap until about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into 2-inch circles, squares, or triangles. 5. Place the cut-outs on a baking sheet, non-stick or lined with parchment paper, and bake until golden on top, about 10 minutes. Serve hot.

[CnD] Everyone Read! Purpose Of Cooking In The Dark
Howdy All, When this list started, it was to be used as an aid and teaching tool dealing with cooking. This covers a huge range of topics...a lot larger than just trading recipes back and forth. They include everything from getting the food to cleaning up afterwards. Tips, Ideas, Strategies, how to questions are all welcome and encouraged. I remember what it was like when I first lost my sight... The unknown scared the hell out of me. Getting information on how to cook and be independent in the kitchen was hard to come by...I had lots of questions and no where to find the answers. This list is intended to change all that. Topics about grocery shopping, labeling food items, cookware, and products, food storage and prep, how do I do something...cleaning up afterwards...are all welcome here. As long as it can be related to cooking the topics are welcome. Now how to download a file on a computer or how to wash clothes, vacuum a floor, etc are not for this list. Jessica, the questions you want to ask, She wrote: I was going to ask other questions like how to load and unload a dishwasher and how to make food look good when you are going to be serving it to a bunch of people and how to tell wen all of the ingredients are mixed in to the food properly and lots of other stuff as well. These are perfectly fine here...Everyone on this list should stop and put themselves in the other person's shoes and just think about what that person is really needing help...it is hard enough to get up off the couch and start living life as a blind person. We should applaud everyone that does this and wants to learn how to do things in the kitchen as a blind person. Everyone on this list has different skill levels in the kitchen and I love it when we help each other! Now, how about getting Jessica some answers to her questions? How to load a dishwasher? How to present food to a large group of people? How to know when the ingredients are mixed in...I get my hands in it! Feeling around in the mixed ingredients ill tell you allot. I fell around the edges of the bowl above the mixed portion when doing whet ingredients, feeling for dry mix that is not in the wet mix part... Get your hands in it and feel around! food presentable when serving? Great information and awesome support...and fabulous recipes. Not to mention the wonderful cast of characters we have on this list... it all equals Cooking In The Dark! Let's not lose sight of what this list is here to do...no pun intended! Now, If anyone has a question or a problem about what someone else is posting, contact me or steve off list. Forward us the message and your concerns about why you don't think it should be posted to our list. My address: cookinginthed...@att.net Steve's Address: stev...@suddenlink.net (And ya'll might want to congratulate Steve on his upcoming wedding in April, off list please, and also thank him for the work he does for all of us on this list.) We will handle the matter discreetly and privately.

Prep20 min. Inactive25 min. Cook30 min. Yield:about 1 1/2 dozen . Level:Easy. Ingredients 1 1/4 cups apple cider 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon cream of tartar 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature 1/2 cup granulated sugar, plus 3 tablespoons for rolling 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar 1 large egg 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons finely chopped red and green crispy apple chips, plus whole chips for garnish 2 teaspoons apple pie spice Directions Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Heat the cider in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until it comes to a boil. Continue to cook until syrupy and reduced to about 2 tablespoons, 12 to 14 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly. Whisk the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl until smooth. Beat the butter with 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar and the light brown sugar in a separate bowl on medium-high speed until fluffy and smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in the reduced cider and the egg (the mixture may look slightly curdled). Stir in the flour mixture and 1/4 cup of the chopped apple chips until combined. Stir together the remaining 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of chopped apple chips and the apple pie spice in a small bowl. Roll heaping tablespoons of dough into balls, using lightly moistened hands if the dough is too sticky, and then roll in the spiced sugar mixture. Place the dough balls 3 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets and top with a few pieces of whole apple chips. Bake until the edges are just set but centers are still soft, 11 to 13 minutes, rotating pans halfway through the baking time. Cool 2 to 3 minutes on the baking sheet, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. CTelevision Food Network G.P.

Add anything else you want. Place in the mic for a minute and 20 seconds and cook on high. Stir before placing it in the mic and then stir again when it comes out. My husband liked a little butter and brown sugar in his. HTH.

I learned the hard way that you don't put water and oat meal in the same cup and boil in the microwave. The oat meal expands, and it goes in your microwave oven. It makes quite a mess. It's better to boil your water, then add the oat meal after that. That works best. -Original Message- From: Nicole Massey ny...@gypsyheir.com Sent: Tuesday, December 06, 2011 2:18 PM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Subject: Re: [CnD] Oatmeal and the microwave What kind of oatmeal? When making instant I just heat the water for three minutes and the add oatmeal and other ingredients. A lid or one of those covers Dale talked about on a recent show might help, as would a larger container, as I suspect it's bubbling over during the cooking process. -Original Message- From: cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org [mailto:cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org] On Behalf Of Allison Fallin Sent: Tuesday, December 06, 2011 1:16 PM To: Cooking in the Dark Subject: [CnD] Oatmeal and the microwave Hello, Whenever I cook oatmeal following the package directions, it ends up all over the carousell in the microwave.
