  20. I completely agree with Leslie - dough too thick and bake longer. As for the "tradtional choux and a pie crust type dough" option, Bo Friberg has a recipe for what he calls "Swedish Profiteroles" on page 597 of the fourth edition of the Professional Pastry Chef. It calls for a thin disk of sweet short dough placed on top of the piped choux before baking. I've tried the recipe in the past and liked them quite a bit - the short dough adds crunch and flavor. Something like this may be what you're looking for. ← This sounds like what I have read about Papa...it is pastry wrapped around the choux and they are baked onsite from frozen.... T

    Sandwiches!

    After working in delis for almost 20yrs now, my first thought on hearing Sloppy Joe was a whole nuther thing.......Triple decker on rye with russian... turkey swiss corned beef and coleslaw. Except for the russian its a mighty fine sandwich I am currently working in an Italian deli and all I eat all day is thin slices of semolina bread dipped into the bruschetta topping and topped with our handmade mozzerella If I order a sandwich out its usually roast beef lettuce onions and OV....or Taylor ham and egg T

  23. being a lover of cashews...i have to wonder just how on earth they could contain the poison u mention....and if they do contain it why on earth do they even bother to harvest and sel these things?...wouldnt that be a bit dangerous? ← I thought this was the case so I looked it up..... "The kidney-shaped cashew nut is encased in a hard shell with two layers. In between these layers is a black substance called cardol, which is extremely caustic and can cause blistering of the skin upon contact. This substance is removed during the shelling process and is used in the making of such products as varnish, insecticide, paint, and even rocket lubricant. For this primary reason, cashews are never sold in the shell." .....here http://homecooking.about.com/cs/atozfoodindex/a/cashew.htm
