That looks really good. I have saved the recipe. Thank you.

Today's squash haul from the farm gate. I got a box that I filled for $22.00. I paid a small premium for the Turbans. That boxfull is presently residing in the walk-in closet.

So it is. I didn't get that far as I wanted to look up the various squashes I can get this afternoon at a farm gate and that was all I was interested in when looking at the article. I'm definitely going to try it. Thanks for pointing that out.

I'll try that. Thanks for the suggestion, we'll see how it works out.

https://whatscookingamerica.net/squash.htm I came across this web site this morning. I thought some of you might be interested. I'm going out to buy some other squash this afternoon.

Thanks. I'll give it another try.

I got my stash of winter squash in last week. We have already eaten 2 delicata and one carnival acorn squash but the remainder should do us for a while. We have 9 delicata 5 carnival acorn and 2 butternut. There is another location where we go to buy different squash from those we have and we may take a trip on the weekend to get a few more. A couple of days ago I stuffed a carnival one with with quinoa (and some other stuff) and quite enjoyed it. @Okanagancook should you have the book Yum and Yummer by Greta Podleski of Looneyspoons, Crazy Plates, and Eat, Shrink and be Merry fame, the recipe is in there.

How do you get the crud on the seeds off? I tried washing them once and could not get seeds without stuff stuck to them.

I have 2 Cameron stove-top smoker grills. For what I want, they work like a charm. I have both the regular size and the mini. Both are induction compatible. The other day I smoked a rack of baby back ribs. Tonight I will do some fish. https://cameronsproducts.com/product/original-stainless-steel-smoker-value-pack-3-bonus-pints-wood-chips/

Not me.

@Smithy. For the mango sorbet, did you use only the canned mango sugar? How sweet were they?

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Steaming makes perfect sense. I will try it.

Thank you for responding. I was hoping someone would. If I wanted, say, to make blueberry scones and I wanted the berries left whole, what kind of liquid would I marinate them it? Juice? Water? And how much liquid?

I should have elaborated. I had a mini Kitchenaid that had a reversable slicing/shredding blade. I loved that thing but when the work bowl broke I was unable to find a replacement. My husband talked me into the 16 cup pro. I do not like the size of it as I find it much too big for my needs. I since purchased a 7-cup Cuisinart which does me just fine. If you do a lot of shredding, slicing etc. you will love the Pro. It is a fantastic machine and works flawlessly. Life is strange sometimes. A couple of years ago this building had one of those events where you bring down to the entertainment room stuff you no longer get needed. If you liked something, you would donate whatever sum of money you thought appropriate. The money and whatever was left over was donated to charity. Well, if a mini KA food processor wasn't donated! I now have a working mini!

I'd glady exchange my Breville 16 cup Pro for the one you linked to.

@DuvelPeople on this forum are notorious enablers. It's one of the reasons I have so many " toys".

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this question, but here goes. I have dried cranberries and also dried blueberries in my pantry. I would like to use them (not together) in making some baked goods e.g. scones or muffins. Do I need to re-hydrate them first and if so, in what and for how long or can I use them in a recipe as they are? If the latter, do I need to increase the liquid called for in the recipe?

I don't have anything interesting to contribute but I do like espelette on winter squash. I'm enjoying this thread. I've never done much with vegetables other than slap some butter and s & p on them so this is a great thread. I just remembered I like nutmeg on green beans. And tajin on corn.

Good news and bad news. I found a store here that sells them; they are out of stock.

I never knew there was such a thing. Thanks, @gfweb!

I have that one. Works like a charm.

They are beautiful and a real steal. Congrats!

I made the chocolate chip cookie. It's a good size, we shared it and it was enough to satisfy our sweet tooth. (Teeth?). I did add a bit of vanilla powder and used chocolate chips instead of bar chocolate. We enjoyed this cookie, I'll no doubt make it again. Looking forward to hearing what you think k of it, @Smithy. Edited to add: I doubt it took me more than 5 minutes to throw this together.

I have those ovens as well and they are the ones I use 99.9% of the time. The big oven, other than for bread, I very seldom use, usually only when my pan won't fit into the Breville. I'm still making my cookie. But it will get baked in the CSO. I'm likely to only make it once, so won't feel badly about it.

I love Lactania butter but since I use only unsalted, I can't help you. I do see that the sodium content is 75 mg. per 2 teaspoons. Their phone no. Is 800-563-1515 should you be inclined to call them.
