Kim, your recipe was very very clear. Your recipes are always easy to follow . It was my non-knowledge that was the problem. You did say to invert the cake over a bottle--I just didn't do that because I thought the cake would fall right out and I didn't know what kind of bottle etc. I didn't know that was an integral part of the recipe . But now I do! I will for SURE be making it again. Tasted WAAAAAY better than store bought. And, I only have 3 more yolks to use up lol. I also learned (after the fact) that my mom knows all about making angel food cakes, too. It seems my great-grandmother was really good at it and she learned from her. Your ribs look incredible!

Eggs Benedict --homemade english muffins, ham, eggs from my gal, hollandaise made from the yolks left over from an angel food cake, squash from the garden, leftover cheesy taters.

First good pick from the garden. A couple of tomatoes, cukes and squash.

BUMP! Anyone pickling yet? I have enough to start a small crock full. I'm kicking myself, though. Last year my husband loved the ones I made (seems like every year I do something different) and I didn't write down what I did . Sigh.

I'm so excited. I finally got brave and decided to make english muffins. I could eat every one of them right now. They turned out really good. They will be perfect for breakfast sandwiches this winter during hunting season. Muffins rising in the rings Out of the oven Toasted with butter

Seafood enchiladas using leftover crawfish tails

I knew I liked you

Ya don't know what you're missing

I'm glad you got home safely...I know the trip went way too fast for you and you're counting the days to the next one.

Ugh, I had a friend that RELIGIOUSLY threw stuff away on or before exp. dates. Drove me crazy lol. On the other hand, maybe the other guests there used some of your condiments etc. and they ended up in someones luggage.

This is my favorite cornbread recipe---it's different from any I have had. It's good, not traditional, though. Do not skip cubing the cheese. It melts into pockets of extreme gooey deliciousness. http://cakewalkr.com/kicked-up-cornbread/

What would I do without you guys and Egullet??? I'd be lost, that's what!

Ohhhhhh, ok that makes sense. I will have to buy a 6 pack of something that has glass bottles. Thank you!!!

Ok, so this is going to earn me the "dumb question of the year" award. No laughing at me. I put parchment paper on the bottom of my pan (bad move?) The cake came out of the pan perfectly....but the flip side of that is I promise that if I had turned the pan upside down, the cake would have fallen right out. What am I missing?

Ooooh, using bacon grease is really good, though. I urge you to try it.

Well, it's a pretty common recipe, but my Grammy always made it, thus, to me, it's Grammy's Here it is--written at least 20 years ago in a spiral notebook by me. Very first recipe I ever wrote down in it. 1 box chicken Rice-A-Roni cooked as directed and cooled Add 3-4 sliced green onions, 8-10 sliced stuffed green olives, 1/4 cup chopped green peppers, 1/2 cup chopped celery, 6 oz. jar of marinated artichoke hearts***** 1/3 - 1/2 cup mayo (NOT Miracle Whip--and homemade mayo is best, but I didn't know that back then ) and 1/4 t. curry. Mix and refrigerate over night. ******I always use a can of plain art. hearts. I don't care for the marinated ones.

Don't make fun of my angel food cake. Ok, you can make fun --we certainly did It tasted good, though! Things I did wrong: I didn't cool it upside down. I didn't have cake flour so I used regular. Maybe I over-beat the white a bit??? We were going to have champagne, but after all of this, we were just toooooo full.

I hope everyone had a great day yesterday and it continues on throughout the weekend! Here's what we had: Cukes and the first (tiny) tomato (that tasted like crap as the first tomato usually does) from the garden Deviled eggs ( skipped the salmon roe and used tobikko ) Cheesy hash browns --not fancy but definitely American comfort food at its best Grammy's rice salad Spicy wings done on the grill Annnnnd, I was stuffed.

Rotuts, that looks sooooooo delicious. I'm glad you shared your award winning tater salad!!! I can't wait to try it. My husband loves that stuff.

Yeah....heh....I wondered what those tab/feet looking things were for. Sigh. Well, it feels "springy" and I've eaten some the crust that was stuck to the side and it tastes good. It's still about 4-5 inches tall, so it isn't tooooo bad.

No...ooops. That was the one part of the recipe I didn't understand. I'm baking challenged lol.

So. I took my angel food cake out of the oven about 20 mins. ago. It looked beautiful. But now, um.....it's the incredible shrinking cake.....is that normal? I think I screwed up...

I have never been to a Whole Foods. The produce looks lovely.
