  1. YAY! I think they did a nice job overall.  I miss Crum Farm.   :wub:

    I miss Crum Farm, too, and the Crums! That really was the highlight for me--not just because the food was great, but the Crums were so warm and welcoming. My mom really enjoyed talking to Mr. Crum (Jim?).

    Marmish--did you notice you were promoted to principal?

    That's the easiest promotion I've ever gotten! (I'm the assistant principal, not the principal) Luckily, the crabby parent at school waiting when I got there today didn't know. She wanted the PRINCIPAL, not little old me.

    Crum Farm definitely started the let's-run-away-to-the-country-and-have-brunches-and-dinners-and-grow-stuff conversation in my house. Unfortunately, I don't think it's going to happen anytime soon. I probably should have spent more time really talking to them about the reality, but I was too busy swooning in my own little fantasyland. And eating.

  2. Burnt Sugar Ice Cream Report:  Simply wonderful!  Be sure to let the caramel cook long enough, and you will be rewarded with a completely tantalizing caramel ice cream.  We ate it with sugared and toasted sliced almonds on top, and I'm tempted to mix them into the ice cream next time I make it.

    Thanks, Ruth.

    Anyone know if I can easily double the Dimply Plum cake and use a 9x13 pan? I want to make it for tomorrow's luncheon at school, but the recipe as is will be too small. (I am also making the blueberry crumb bars from smittenkitchen.com)

  3. I think that sounds good for what my friend and I call "Back Home Food" type shower. I might suggest chicken salad as a sandwich option, and rainbow sherbet with 7 Up makes a good "Back Home" punch.

  4. These days I use the aluminum bars.  They are lighter (I've got a drawer full of these things and it barely pulls out) and much less expensive.

    I get 1/2 inch square cut into 2 - 18inch, 2 - 12 inch and 2- 8 inch pieces.  I'm sure for the right price they would polish the ends for you.  Never forget the chocolate discount - apparently I get the best rate for my bars because I always bring them goodies.

    I also have 1/4 by 1/2 inch bar cut into the same sizes - this works for two layered fillings, I lay them on the 1/4 inch side for the first layer - then on the 1/2 inch side (or replace with the 1/2 inch square bars) for the second layer.

    I have some 3/4 inch bars too - now you know why my drawer is so heavy.  Can't imagine what it would be like if they were all stainless.

    OK, so I get the square not the tube square? The measurement are a little weird--for example, if I get grade 202T43, I could get 1.5", but it doesn't tell me the rest of the dimensions (I'm assuming the 1.5" refers to height).

    Does it matter what grade I get? Can I just get the cheapest kind?

    It's so confusing being a girl! (I just set the women's lib movement back a few decades. . . )

    Oh geez, it's not genetic you know! :hmmm: You just don't have experience in that area. :biggrin:

  5. jgm,

    I agree. I skipped the market tour to go to the art museum. I only made it halfway through. I also so saw other interesting shopping that would have been fun to check out. I think KC was well planned and I never felt like we had a packed schedule, or felt rushed, which I appreciated, nor did I feel it was underplanned. But I certainly could have found things to do if there was more free time. I definitely want to return to KC to see some of those things. And eat more burnt ends. Also, I know in Chicago a number of people struck out on their own part of the time.

  6. I have the burnt sugar ice cream base in my fridge and am planning to churn it tonight -- will report back!  And I have made Dorie's marshmellow, but I didn't have great results -- I do better with non-egg-white marshmellows (I'm sure it's a character flaw of some kind).

    Please do! I am getting back into ice creams having not made any this summer until about 2 weeks ago.

    Dorie, thanks for your note re: the rice pudding. I thought someone here had made it, but I must be thinking of TWD.

  7. I suggest not pursuing the nut free line of conversation in this thread because it generally spirals out of control and will not give Fat Guy any lunch ideas for his kiddo. As a school administrator, we hate to have these types of restrictions, but it is truly in the interest of protecting the kids - and to a lesser extent avoiding putting staff in what is potentially a life threatening situation.

  8. I like Food and Wine and also will second Cuisine at Home. It has no ads and the recipes are good and well categorized. I also have a couple of their books, the grilling one, and one other. Most recipes appeal to me and there is a good balance of simple and more complicated dishes.

  9. Some answers to life's persistent questions about Crum's Farm:

    Anyway...someone asked about the crops we had planted...

    Here we go...

    bottom of the hill to top

    Hoop House...tomatoes, cukes

    Broccoli, asparagus, garlic, green beans, onions, eggplant, peppers, beets,tomatoes, kale...red and tuscan, chard, cabbage, pattypans, zucchini, yellow squash,

    At the Edwardsville field...potatoes...Kennebec, Purple Majesty, German Butterball, Banana, carrots, onions, turnips, leeks

    We have just planted the last two seasons some apple, pear, damson plums, blackberries and red rasberries. Yes...strawberries are in the plan for next year!

    We have a small herb garden. Mostly basil to go with the tomatoes, right?

    Already gone  for now is lettuce, spinach, greens, peas, spring onions and garlic, radishes...fall however is just around the corner...

    Itis rhubarb that I have started in the greenhouse...soon to be company with broccoli, cabbage, lettuce....I'm sure I'm forgetting something....

    Oh yes...our bee keepers names are Ivan and Paula Owen...their number is 913.788.5017 and they sell from their home across from Providence Hospital.

    Hope this helps answer the question about what we grow!

    Thanks, Judy, for the detailed info. I didn't realize they also farmed another field.

  10. The Ones We Have NOT. I'm sure some of you have made some of these. Can I move them to other column? Like the rice pudding, vanilla ice cream, Katz brownies. Surely someone has made those. I think I'll do the Brioche Plum Tart next week.

  12. I loved the shop and bought a 21 piece box. My husband and I have been sharing them each night after dinner. There were a few we thought were ok or were not to our taste like the bourbon pecan, which we thought had little to no bourbon taste, rosemary, which was better than I thought it would be and would probably be deemed excellent by someone who preferred that flavor more than I do, and lavender, which was rather nice, not like eating soap as I often find rose and lavender things. I wouldn't eat more than one, though. Everything else was excellent, especially the fleur de sel, vanilla caramel and some of the spicy ones. I took notes each night and will post more when I find them again.

    Note to Chicagoans, the website says they are available at Trotters To Go.

  13. Apparently I have too much time on my hands, as I went back through the thread and listed all the books mentioned. I did NOT have enough time on my hands to correct capitalization, but did try to eliminate duplicates and fix spelling where it was obvious. I removed "the" from titles, but not 'a' or 'an'. Just didn't seem right.

    I have it in a table format, which smushes title and author together when I cut and paste. Sorry about that. If you know a fix, do tell. Where there is a specialty that is not obvious from the title and was mentioned by the poster, it follows the author.

    Here's the list to date, alphabetically by title:

  14. I also want to thank Judy and Aaron for organizing this and for their equanimity throughout the weekend.  I don't think I could have remained so calm and organized (actually I know I couldn't - given my chicken with head cut off routine the first day of the chocolate conference). 

    I have just arrived back at 8:10 this morning - my day of call starting at 8am - but I got caught by the swing bridge opening to let a sailboat through.  I'm a bit of a bag from a very long day in airports yesterday - one plane cancelled, too late for my connection to Sudbury - the later flight being delayed until almost midnight due to mechanical problems...  I stayed in a hotel in Sudbury overnight rather than risk the drive on the dark moose infested roads of northern Ontario.  My luggage is still vacationing in Chicago.  I long to see my hairbrush again. 

    A little later today - if call allows I'll download what few pictures I have and post. 

    Oh, Kerry! What an ordeal. I hope they don't call you in today.

  15. I'll add my thanks to Judy and Aaron for their superior scouting and organizing skills. I really appreciate all their hard work in putting everything together. I loved Bluestem and the BBQ tour, and the space for Saturday's dinner was fantastic. Brunch at Crum Farm was a wonderful experience. I really enjoyed seeing their place. I might have to post over in the dream jobs thread now. (Since my thumb is not particularly green, it's definitely a dream). I enjoyed Kansas City and would definitely like to take a trip back for some of the interesting shops we drove by and to see the rest of the fantastic art museum. I only made it 1/2 way through on Saturday.

    My food pics definitely don't meet the quality of those with better cameras, but I'll post some general shots.

    The Crum's gave us all a bag of granola to take with. I had mine this morning on some Greek yogurt.
