Can you tell me where the recipe is? Thanks!

I used to make the Jacques Pepin's Potatoes Fondant a lot until Fine Cooking produced "Crowd Pleasing Crispy Potatoes" in it's January, 2007 edition. These are spuds that are boiled, flattened and baked in the oven in olive oil. Delicious. But, I can't wait to try these Crash Hot Potatoes. I think the crusty bits on top will be delicious. Thank you for the link.

Where did the recipe come from? Can you share? I'm always on the lookout for new spud recipes.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I made a note of this and will try them out. I often make recipes from Epicurious.

Kerry, that filling sounds interesting. Any chance you could post it? Elsie ← Don't have any quantities - Thinly slice some red onions and caramelize in a bit of butter and olive oil. Add some balsamic vinegar. Set aside to cool. Make a custard with an egg and some heavy cream. Put some onions in the already baked tart, pour a bit of custard over, top with a chunk of bleu cheese (I used danish mild). Bake at 350 until cheese starts to melt. Top with a bit more onion. ← That sounds yummy. I will have to try this. Thank you! Elsie

What is a hob? It is not a term used in Canada. We have cooktops and we have ranges. Ranges have a cooktop and an oven(s).

Wow! That sure is pretty. I can't wait to try it out. This is one of the best things I've heard about all year.

I picked up a package that looks very much like yours on the weekend. But, it is Satay Powder. It is a 200 gram package and you use 30 grams of the powder to 120 ml of water or coconut milk. This stuff is made by Hyson Food Industries out of Singapore. I realize that Satay Powder is not what you are looking for, but maybe this company has what you are looking for? The listed ingredients are: peanut, sesame, sugar, dried prawn, chilly (chilli?) salt, coriander, onion, garlic, tumeric, ginger, spices.

I for one would be interested. There is a chocolate shop here that sells cake imported from Belgium by the slice and I will often pick up a piece but then I have to go home to eat it. I would love to be able to try several desserts at one time - in moderate pieces, of course!

I make my lemon butter sauce ahead of time and then reheat. If I don't temper first time around, it breaks when I reheat... ←

I looked him up in Wikipedia and there is no mention of him being "Lord" of anything there, either.

Do the biscuits turn out as flat crispy ones or chewy ones?

I don't know where Oneida is manufactured these days, but they started life in Oneida, new York in 1880. I have had a set of their stainless steel flatware since the early '70s and am still fond of it, although they don't make the pattern any longer. Given that you only paid $15 for the pan, I'd say you got a bargain. Enjoy! (How come I can never find deals like this?)

How are you planning to use your BBQ to smoke the bacon? What kind of wood are you going to use for the smoke?

I would like to try this. Can someone please tell me exactly how I would go about doing this? Do you do this as you would for popcorn as in, put some oil in a pan, add rice (or whatever), cover, and shake pan while poppIng?

Those are absolutely beautiful!

How about chocolate mousse?

i like to add some Herbs de Provence in my beef stew.

I use a Cuisipro. It has a 4 qt. capacity and has three disks - fine, medium and coarse. It is stainless steel. I'm not sure it will fit on your stock pot though. I just measured my Dutch oven and it is 10" across and the food mill fits nicely on that but I'm not sure if it will span 11". If it fits your pot, I'm sure it will work nicely for you. I think they sell for between $40 - $50 in the States.

I got curious about this so looked it up on wikipedia. It doesn't answer your question (no, I don't know anything about the sauce you are asking about) but I thought you might find it interesting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soy_sauce

I had an el cheapo hand mixer that I could only use for whipping cream or egg whites. It wouldn't as much as cream butter and sugar together for making, say, cookies. I had to drag my KA stand mixer out to do that. After listening to me curse it (the cheap one) numerous times, my husband bought me a kitchen aid. It is a wonderful machine and can do pretty much anything. I love it.

Thanks for the reminder. I made it a couple of years ago and had forgotten about it. We loved it. I just happen to have a pork tenderloin in the freezer so will make it again the next time I cook one.

I don't know anything about the book you are asking about but I have a niece who has lived in New Orleans for many years. She claims that the best book is the Lee Brothers Southern Cookbook. I don't have it so I can't substantiate her claim, but perhaps others on this board have.

I recently had some prepared the way tino27 described. So simple, so good!
