I have had five so far (not local yet) and all of them were too firm and pretty much lacking in flavor. Worse this year than before.L

So, I've never eaten Spam, either (and no plans to change that), does Scrapple taste anything like Spam?

Mom, who was from Pennsylvania Dutch country, loved scrapple but Dad did not, so I've never had it to this day. I should change that.

'The Cabin'... I see this topic is now closed, the last post was made in '08. I'm so curious about what's been happening since. Is the SnowAngel still around? Please forgive my hijacking but I can't post to the original thread.

Yes, it is. This is not my recipe but from a source I trust. The majority of the marinade is saved ahead and later turned into a sauce (with the cornstarch) for the meat and veg.

yes! me too. I'd love to know more. When I saw the photo, I thought to myself, 'I want those'!!!

When I was a child, living in East Detroit, the ice cream truck (complete with the bells) came around our neighborhood in summer. Ice cream treats then were .07 cents. What are they today?

My goodness!!! How on earth did I miss 'The Cabin'? I just pulled up the topic and can't stop reading. The stories are wonderful, just the kind of stuff I love. Thanks, Porthos, for mentioning it, or I'd never have seen it.

I'm no expert and I don't make a lot of stir fries but from what I've observed it seems many use flank steak. I don't know about the marinades but here's one that I understand is good with flank: Beef Marinade 1 cup soy sauce, low-sodium soy sauce 6 tablespoons sherry or cooking sherry 2 tablespoons cornstarch 4 tablespoons brown sugar 1 tablespoon ginger, peeled and minced fresh

BTW, in case you can't get any of the www, some folk use a few Tablespoons of orange juice in recipes to counteract the bitterness of the regular whole wheat. It does work.

I hope you can find a source for it since, to me, it works much, much better than the more bitter ww. I know you'd be pleased. Here it is common even in our small towns

Have you tried white whole wheat such as KAF makes? I use it exclusively to replace regular ww and I like it a lot. Still in certain recipes I cut it with AP.

I'd go look but I don't currently have a box in my freezer, I portion them out into food saver bags and store that way.

Have you ever tried the egg rolls in Costo's frozen section? They're very good.

Our favorite ice cream was always Starbucks coffee ice cream. Don't know if it 's still available since there's none near where I live. I was able to buy it everywhere I used to live, even Costco.
