I was asked the other day if I could share a recipe which I was pleased to do. The recipe was for scones and I realised that I don't actually bother with a recipe for them. Depending on how many I want to make, I might several...

Butter recall

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (52144) • Staten Island, New York 24 Nov 24

Costco had to recall its Kirkland butter because it did not have on its packaging that it contains milk. Apparently including milk in the ingredients list is not enough. A product has to have the phrase “contains milk.” I wonder...

The Hardest Part About Cooking...

Kitycat @KityCat (7739) • India 22 Aug 24

No it's not the cooking part , nor eating. It's cutting up all the vegetables, meat , and getting all the ingredients ready . I find it so much more harder than actually cooking . Onions got some beef with me , always making me...

Ordered One a Day Vitamins Yesterday

Kharla Jolly @kobesbuddy (78833) • East Tawas, Michigan 19 Jul 24

I've been all over the place, trying to find one-a-day vitamins without dye or artificial flavoring. Malto-dextrin is a sweetener that's very common in vitamin supplements. Why? I really don't know why they add harmful...

Brunswick Stew

TaxiLady @Ghostlady (2355) • United States 21 Feb 24

Has anyone had Brunswick Stew? My Tom has wanted to make it for a long time, and finally today he made it. It was okay, but he put in a BBQ sauce that was a little sweet. Added vinegar, but still a little sweet. I had never...

A bespoke herb and spice shelf

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 2 Apr 23

My collection of herbs and spices long ago outgrew one of those cute little racks. There are lots of other styles and designs available, many of which are really appealing and have nice features such as rotating in clever ways or...

Peanut butter pie

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169406) • United States 6 Mar 23

I have a habit of buying ingredients, then not using them. I had read a really easy recipe for peanut butter pie. I have had the ingredients on hand for Christmas. I finally made the peanut butter pie, and I will certainly do it...

Once when l stayed at a hotel in the tourist area, the bartender made me what he called - a blended fruit punch. It was so very delicious that l asked him if he would tell me the ingredients. He did and when l got home l tried...

I missed my chance!

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 12 Dec 22

The last few weeks have been so ridiculously mild that it was far more like September. I was lulled into a false sense of security. I picked the last few tomatoes in November! This is unheard of! So I foolishly thought I didn’t...

Can we trust what we see in the ingredients list?

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (52144) • Staten Island, New York 10 Dec 22

For a while now I have been using half-and-half for my coffee instead of milk. I noticed that regular half-and-half I usually buy has sodium citrate and disodium phosphate in the ingredients. And other non-organic brands have that...

Another new-to-me recipe

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 30 Nov 22

I wrote a while ago about my chilli pepper harvest https://www.mylot.com/post/3530947/how-to-store-chillies I looked at things to do with chillies and one thing I found was a recipe for sweet chilli jam, so I thought I would try...

Not giving up yet!

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 28 Nov 22

I wrote before about my experimental nasturtium leaf soup https://www.mylot.com/post/3531321/a-kitchen-experiment. That was OK, but I wasn’t really keen enough to make it again. But then I started to wonder whether the flavour...

I need a spice-case!

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 24 Nov 22

All my spices and dried herbs are in little jars in the top drawer of one of the kitchen units. If I put them on a shelf in one of the cupboards they would take up too much room and be too hard to see, and if they were just on the...

And another one…

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 16 Nov 22

Still on the subject of grapes, another thing I wanted to try was spiced pickled grapes. I rather liked the look of this recipe and saved it years ago from a magazine, probably Country Living. But I wasn’t keen enough to actually...

Experiment number three

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 7 Nov 22

In my series of kitchen experiments the next thing I tried was grape jam. I made grape jelly before and it was OK, but as a family it seems we prefer jam so I thought I would try that for a change. I found a recipe online and...

More experiments

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 5 Nov 22

Apart from an extensive nasturtium patch, the other thing we have a lot of at the moment is grapes. My partner’s parents gave us a seedless grapevine as a house-warming present when we moved here and it seems to like its home....

A kitchen experiment

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 4 Nov 22

As I mentioned the other day, a productive garden often results in me trying out new foods or new ways of preparing things. I have masses of nasturtiums right now so I wondered if they could be used, and some Googling came up...

How to store chillies

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 1 Nov 22

What’s your preferred way to store or preserve chilli peppers? I always grow a few chilli plants and they normally produce more than enough fruits to keep us going for a year or more. The varieties vary, depending on what I have...

Quince cheese/ dulce de membrillo

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 22 Oct 22

My partner’s mum brought us a bag of quinces when they visited a couple of weeks ago. They have been hanging around since then so I finally bit the bullet last night. I had been putting it off because quinces are notoriously hard...
