You can do it today! But the limes will be better maybe just the day before. [NT] - Charley - 3:33pm on 07/22/19

Thank you! [NT] - deb-in-MI - 5:21pm on 07/22/19

Simple syrup, now. [NT] - Marg CDN2 - 1:57am on 07/23/19

But I squeeze limes and freeze the juice in baggies. I'd save angst for other issues and do that now [NT] - Marg CDN2 - 2:00am on 07/23/19

I squeeze and freeze lime juice a lot. The quality thawed is no different from fresh. Marg is right [NT] - CathyZKauai - 3:28pm on 07/23/19
Also, Simple Syrup does not need to be refrigerated [NT] - CathyZKauai - 3:31pm on 07/23/19
Also, you and hubby should do a few test runs first to make sure, ah...the glasses don't leak. [NT] - MarilynFL - 4:06pm on 07/23/19

30997. What is this dish mold for? Photo inside [IMAGE] - MariaDNoCA - 1:46am on 07/23/19 (13)

Given the chip, it looks like ceramic? Is a baking type? Strange to have such a pattern - Marg CDN2 - 1:55am on 07/23/19

Yes, ceramic or stoneware. It�s very heavy. [NT] - MariaDNoCA - 3:51am on 07/23/19
I think it is a "jello" mold--the top would be decorative when unmolded. - Charley - 10:46am on 07/23/19

It looks like a decrorative mold to hang on the wall in your kitchen. Depending on what it is made - Janet in NC - 2:22am on 07/23/19

Did they make things that were just useless? Seems like it could go in oven. - MariaDNoCA - 3:53am on 07/23/19

Oh yes they did. Do you want another one in copper?? The price is right. [NT] - Marg CDN2 - 5:52am on 07/23/19
stilll....something French. It'll come to me at 3AM. I'll phone you. [NT] - Marg CDN2 - 5:53am on 07/23/19

My first thought was a mold for couer de creme, but - judy-mass - 11:38am on 07/23/19
Looking again, since it has the hole for hanging it may be primarily for decor but - Charley - 12:12pm on 07/23/19
Looks similar to this cake mold. [NT] [LINK] - Curious1 - 2:44pm on 07/23/19

Good job. I looked and looked!! [NT] - Charley - 2:57pm on 07/23/19

Glad you enjoyed it Colleen. Soup season is a little ways off for us, since it was 108 yesterday... - Michael in Phoenix - 3:12pm on 07/24/19

64 degrees last night here after dinner ;) BUT... - colleenmomof2 - 3:39pm on 07/24/19

I did do a quick search of other butternut squash soups after eating yours - colleenmomof2 - 3:49pm on 07/24/19

Michael, you might be able to give actual experience data for Therese's request [NT] [LINK] - MarilynFL - 3:48pm on 07/24/19

I think she was pretty close with 3 - 4 tacos per person, but I always... - Michael in Phoenix - 5:43pm on 07/24/19
Another consideration: Are the teenagers building their own tacos? If yes, you will need more meat - wigs - 2:36pm on 07/26/19

That's a good point, wigs. [NT] - Michael in Phoenix - 3:45pm on 07/30/19

My car registered 107 on Sunday in PA and 58 this morning in NC. [NT] - MarilynFL - 3:51pm on 07/24/19

31001. Years ago I mentioned an old apricot recipe that I liked but lost. [LINK] - MarilynFL - 11:17pm on 07/27/19 (19)

Apricot Diamonds Harris (from 1995 Gourmet) uses unsulfured apricots - MarilynFL - 11:27pm on 07/27/19

I remember something like this. I am allergic to sulfur so buy the unsulfered from Costco. I - Marg CDN2 - 6:03am on 07/28/19
Memories are more delicious than reality. - Michael in Sarasota - 2:58pm on 07/28/19

Lol, years ago I often made (and loved) a blueberry cheesecake pie. It dropped off my radar and - Curious1 - 5:28pm on 07/28/19

That exact thing happened with Toblerone mousse. So very simple and (I originally thought) perfect - MarilynFL - 6:08pm on 07/28/19
That can happen with sweetness, I think. You could cut back on the sugar and use part goat cheese - Charley - 3:21pm on 07/30/19

So true Michael. - CathyZKauai - 6:08pm on 07/28/19

My favorite lunch in the school cafe was creamed tuna on shoestring potatoes - Michael in Sarasota - 8:34pm on 07/28/19

Yup. I fondly remember eating "tacos" my Mom made with my Dad until we liked... - Michael in Phoenix - 3:43pm on 07/30/19

My mom did a graham wafer and coconut cake that I adored. Not quite the same as any recipe since. [NT] - Marg CDN2 - 8:52pm on 07/28/19

Do you have your mom's cake recipe? - Ann - 1:52pm on 07/29/19

Nope. Sure wish I had it. [NT] - Marg CDN2 - 6:40pm on 07/29/19

Marg, was it a bundt style cake? [NT] - Melissa Dallas - 9:30pm on 07/29/19

Oh no. This was the olden days and I'm old even. Don't think there were bundts around - Marg CDN2 - 9:36pm on 07/29/19

Does Lazy Daisy sound familiar? Vanilla cake with cooked coconut topping from 1940-ish. [NT] - MarilynFL - 2:33am on 07/31/19

OOh. No. But that was another one. We called it Hot Milk Cake with broiled coconut on top. LLLLardi - Marg CDN2 - 6:10am on 07/31/19

Please translate Canadian *graham wafer*. Is it the same as *graham cracker*? [NT] - MarilynFL - 1:18pm on 07/31/19

Yes. I didn't realize that was yet another distinction. [NT] - Marg CDN2 - 6:24pm on 07/31/19

Cathy, I could not load photos that were LIVE: those annoying 3-second shots where people move. - MarilynFL - 8:36pm on 07/28/19
Agree. Same recipe as my old peach kuchen but with white sugar. Also agree that - Marg CDN2 - 8:51pm on 07/28/19

I love brown sugar with peaches. Always sub brown for half the white in my favorite peach crisp. [NT] - Curious1 - 11:39pm on 07/28/19
Didn't like it with blueberries. Or as the English say: blue breeze [NT] - Marg CDN2 - 8:31pm on 07/31/19

31004. Deep Dish Tomato Pie Featured in Garden & Gun Magazine - Alabama Chef [LINK] - GayR - 8:00pm on 07/29/19 (9)

Does sound good and much like the tomato pie our chefs make here--in 8" pie - Charley - 9:08pm on 07/29/19
Looks gorgeous, but the added calories (heavy cream, eggs) above the usual cheese and mayo moved - MarilynFL - 12:15pm on 07/30/19

I hear you Marilyn..... [NT] - GayR - 12:55pm on 07/30/19
Me too. Like 3 full days of denying that led to a 5 lb weight gain! [NT] - deb-in-MI - 3:18pm on 08/01/19

That is a beautiful dish. Lots of calories, would be great for a special occasion and company. - KarenNoCA - 2:11pm on 07/30/19

i'm sure the cream etc. makes it wonderful but I'll bet it can be just as good - Charley - 2:48pm on 07/30/19
I totally agree Karen....I looked up Chef Grimes and she has developed recipes for Cooking Light, - GayR - 3:13pm on 07/30/19

31009. I love Kalamata Olives and came across an ad in Fine Cooking for Peloponnese Pitted Kalamata - KarenNoCA - 4:02pm on 07/31/19 (13)

The olive is grown on the Peloponese and is cured or marinated differently in each - Charley - 7:32pm on 07/31/19
I'm betting that it is related to the origin of some of the ingredients. Since at least some - Marg CDN2 - 8:19pm on 07/31/19
is that the brand name (Peloponnese)? (more) - daricem - 9:07pm on 07/31/19

Could be but kalamata olives grow on the island of Peloponese and on - Charley - 10:45am on 08/01/19

Interesting facts, all. I often see, when ordering from Amazon, different labels than what usually - KarenNoCA - 2:13pm on 08/01/19

Maybe I am not understanding but they may be made by a different manufacturer. Pelopponeese is - Charley - 2:53pm on 08/01/19

Peloponnese is both a geographic area and a brand name (more) - daricem - 5:15pm on 08/01/19

Different suppliers maybe? - colleenmomof2 - 10:06pm on 08/02/19
I�m guessing it is a label change as Colleen said. I searched at my local grocery store and [LINK] - Curious1 - 11:41pm on 08/02/19

31090. To Maria, Judy and Colleen re: Ottolenghi's Corn Polenta [LINK] - MarilynFL - 7:25pm on 09/16/19 (6)

I think I read the directions correctly. There isn't any "polenta: or grits in the recipe. - Charley - 8:02pm on 09/16/19

Yes, no polenta/grits in the fresh corn polenta, but eggplant is diced/fried - MariaDNoCA - 1:30am on 09/17/19

Yes, sounds like a reasonable workaround - colleenmomof2 - 9:55pm on 09/16/19

In my defense, I was exhausted and scattered ;) I started another batch of polenta - colleenmomof2 - 9:59pm on 09/16/19

Yes, but minus the grits. It�s just corn/feta/butter in the polenta. - MariaDNoCA - 1:27am on 09/17/19

Thanks to all of you. The work-around definitely worked. I like this dish! - MarilynFL - 1:06pm on 09/17/19
