  2. That book is huge. i brought it to last years workshop. I drove to last years workshop and I had to get a new shock absorber on the wheel where it was packed….there is no way I’m packing that in my suitcase…..
  3. Funny, I brought mine last year and Bernie “tried” to take take it home….lol….
  4. I best get my you know what in gear…..
  5. I grew up eating Eccles and these look absolutely amazing
  6. Sorry I’m late to the party, this is what I use. Best spray I’ve ever used
  7. We are having a roasted pig for NYE. Invited several couples over, everyone brings an appetizer or a dessert and their own beverage of choice.
  8. Sorry I haven’t responded sooner, I was on vacation and didn’t see your request. This was from King Arthur https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/easy-pecan-pie-bars-recipe Easy Pecan Pie Bars…. hope it’s ok to put the link up….
  9. Pecan Pie Bars. Very easy, very rich, very calorie dense
  10. Before I got a full size slab of marble I would go dumpster diving at the local marble/stone fabricating companies. They always had cutouts from sinks (etc) from kitchen work. Some companies will sell the cutouts and polish them, others just say take what you find. On those that haven’t been polished on the downside (back side) I bought some cork and glued it to the backside.
  11. Yesterday was an anniversary of something important to me so, I made a dessert that has been intimidating me for 25+ years….HA….I succeeded…. Apple Squares
  12. I’ve been boiling those cans for 50+ years and never had an issue. Of course, never open a hot/warm can of DDL just out of the boiling water (as my college friend did) as you will have a ceiling full of DDL (as he did). Out of the water and into the refrigerator….
  13. Headed off to a Potluck tonight and decided to make a Coconut Cake. Fingers crossed it tastes good As it’s for a party, I will try and remember to get a picture of a cut piece…. As you can see, they chopped the (you know what) out of the cake
  14. Lemon Bars with a little meringue for fun
  15. I made a large Eccle today, turned out pretty decent. I think I was kind of skimpy on the filling, or…I just made it to large….
  16. Put me “on the list”
  17. It looks like Kerry wasn’t to happy with me in one of Bob’s pictures….
  18. We have Amazing sponsors. One of our first is Renee Drolet of Chocolat-chocolat. not only has she supported us every year, but, she is one awesome, friendly and generous woman!! She brought enough molds to allow a drawing where every participant received a mold but she also brought several for us to use during the workshop. Now that my friends is Amazing. thank You Renee
  19. A little behind - dinner last night was in NOTL at a little place owned by Twin Sisters winery ribs with broccoli….
  20. Some of you who have been to several previous Workshops may recognize this place. It’s where we are hanging our hats for the night. It’s here, in the lobby, where Kerry and I met the inimitable, wonderful Ruth, who became a close, lifelong friend…. but, i digress. We hit the road and enjoyed several (I stopped counting) glasses of wine from various NOTL vineyards. (We were sent on a mission to bring Icewine home for several friends) of course, we had to sample other varietals as well….
  21. Breakfast in Johnstown, PA….aka Flood City. We had breakfast at a small diner next to the ACE Hardware, supposedly run by a fellow who retired, left Johnstown, but came back and was so bored (but, then, who would not be bored there?) so he opened up Jax’s diner…. the food was quick, hot, and quite tasty… Really not to bad for $7.99….itmwould have been better if they had real Vermont maple syrup instead of Maple Syrup flavored Karo
  22. In Johnstown, PA (known for their floods) to see family - dinner was a mishmash of Chinese and Pizza - no picture of the Pierogi Pizza (?????)
  23. Forgot our libations From yesterday Doug had a local dark beer; I decided on a Meiomi Pinot Noir and Barb had a Pinot Gris … yes; we are also paying homage to our other group D3 -
