When you say anise do you mean Tarragon? If so, this [LINK] - orchid - 3:01am on 05/21/10

I bet she means fennel. [NT] - Marianne - 1:49pm on 05/21/10

Hmmmm. Because she listed anise along with the herbs, and tarragon - orchid - 2:49pm on 05/21/10

The sign on the row said "Anise" -- I googled and found a pic and site - it's really Anise Hyssop.. [LINK] [IMAGE] - Tess - 1:59am on 05/22/10

18246. I am catering a lunch/celebration at the principal's farm on Tuesday. - Dawn_MO - 8:10pm on 05/21/10 (22)

I think a classic Caesar would be best here. Curious posted my favortie from Food and Wine [LINK] - Joe - 8:17pm on 05/21/10

I don't like using raw eggs if not really fresh. Recently made this version using mayo. Excellent. [NT] [LINK] - Curious1 - 1:27am on 05/22/10

Which brings to mind that serving a luncheon crowd with a raw egg ingredient could be risky [NT] - FloriSandy - 5:56am on 05/22/10

When I do this recipe for catering, I whisk the yolks with the lemon juice in a double boilier - Joe - 2:40pm on 05/22/10

Brilliant! No wonder I'm *dying* to take your cooking classes. [NT] - Traca - 3:30pm on 05/22/10

Thank you so much for this tip Joe,the latest FC has a new Caesar salad recipe I'm anxious to try. [NT] - Curious1 - 12:53pm on 05/23/10

You're welcome, Curious. I only think it's necessary if you're making the dressing ahead of time. - Joe - 2:57pm on 05/23/10

I begg to differ Joe. For Caesar Salad, two hours maximum. [LINK] - FloriSandy - 4:53pm on 05/23/10

Actually, I agree. If I do the dressing the day before, with the poached egg yolks, - Joe - 6:30pm on 05/23/10

You can buy eggs that are pasteurized in the shell. More from Wikipedia >> [LINK] - cheezz - 6:12pm on 05/22/10

Or if you have 5 minutes, Danilo shows how to pasteurize the eggs yourself >> [NT] [LINK] - cheezz - 6:13pm on 05/22/10

menu sounds perfect and so does Joe's recommendation on a caesar salad... you've nailed it! [NT] - cheezz - 12:55am on 05/22/10
What about the quantitiies, do they sound about right? - Dawn_MO - 3:30am on 05/22/10

Quantities, would ou make that. Acckkkkkkkkkk! [NT] - Dawn_MO - 3:32am on 05/22/10

Oh acckkkkkkkkkk! Never mind. [NT] - Dawn_MO - 3:33am on 05/22/10

Dawn, first determine what your yield would be for each item (in ounces) and how many ounces [LINK] - FloriSandy - 4:18am on 05/22/10
Your two pans of meat lasagna are enough for 24, I presume. The extra pan of veggie lasanga - Joe - 2:46pm on 05/22/10

18247. One more question about my big dinner party tomorrow night - Kathleen - 8:35pm on 05/21/10 (7)

If you are worried about the safety of cooling it at room temp for two hours, you could... - Michael in Phoenix - 10:55pm on 05/21/10

Pulling it into chunks would have the added benefit of allowing you to check... - Michael in Phoenix - 12:05am on 05/22/10

Could you reduce the cooking temp a few degrees and leave it until you return from the game? [NT] - Curious1 - 1:21am on 05/22/10
I would turn the oven off (or leave it on very low) & leave it in there - Music City Missy - 2:37am on 05/22/10
So, I took Michael's suggestion but have one more question... - Kathleen - 12:29pm on 05/22/10

Crock pot probably won't dry it out as much. - Michael in Phoenix - 3:32pm on 05/22/10

How did it go, Kathleen? [NT] - DawnNYS - 10:58pm on 05/24/10

18248. This sounds great: Grilled Marinated Chicken Breast with Yogurt and Asian Spices [NT] [LINK] - Meryl - 9:45pm on 05/21/10 (1)

18249. What type of chocolate would you use...... - Music City Missy - 2:42am on 05/22/10 (8)

Are you adding chocolate to the caramel frosting or using it in the cake? [NT] - Meryl - 3:56pm on 05/22/10

Meryl - it's for the frosting [NT] - Music City Missy - 8:46pm on 05/22/10

Depending on how much sugar is in it, I'd use a high percentage semi-sweet or 60-70 per cent - Meryl - 9:16pm on 05/22/10

Chocolate Caramel Ganache - Marcel Desaulniers [LINK] - Meryl - 9:17pm on 05/22/10

Chocolate Caramel Ganache - Pierre Herme - Meryl - 9:18pm on 05/22/10

mmm.... both of these sound marvelous! [NT] - cheezz - 3:41am on 05/23/10

Sounds like you'd want a good quality cocoa powder (like Droste) for the dark chocolate color [NT] - cheezz - 6:18pm on 05/22/10

Or unsweetened chocolate bar? Otherwise it may be too sweet, I'm thinking. [NT] - cheezz - 6:19pm on 05/22/10

18250. Question of the Day/Week: What recipe sounds absolutely horrid but when you tried it. . . - mistral - 8:07pm on 05/22/10 (15)

Chicken Marbella from the Silver Palate Cookbook. - EvaN - 8:18pm on 05/22/10

I tried this one and just didn't get it! I read so many good things about it... - Sandi in Hawaii - 2:24am on 05/23/10

I agree Sandy. It was perfectly acceptable but that's all. [NT] - elaine - 3:35am on 05/23/10

Same for me...when I walked into our neighbors home and that wonderful smell hit me in the face - KarenNoCA - 5:05pm on 05/23/10

Pineapple cheese casserole [LINK] - MariaDNoCA - 9:22pm on 05/22/10

My aunt made one similar to this when I was a child. Her recipe used soft bread crumbs. [NT] - Curious1 - 12:51pm on 05/23/10
This seems to be essentially a pineapple cheesecake that is served . . . - mistral - 4:34pm on 05/23/10

I would never make it without some kind of endorsement... - SallyBR - 2:12pm on 05/23/10

18251. Weird gardening question - thoughts on "giving" my BY over for a shared garden - MariaDNoCA - 9:19pm on 05/22/10 (5)

BTW, have no idea who/how to find out if anyone would want it [NT] - MariaDNoCA - 9:23pm on 05/22/10
Hi Maria, this is not unheard of. Gardeners often "share crop," using someone's property in exchange - Joe - 11:59pm on 05/22/10

Better check with your city council/zoning rules. Dallas is going out of its way - Melissa Dallas - 4:23am on 05/23/10

Sad. One does not conflict with the other. In fact, I think growing you own makes you picky.. - Joe - 5:01am on 05/23/10

Yes sad, but then, no one has ever - Richard in Cincy - 6:11pm on 05/24/10

Can you sub turkey bacon? [NT] - Dawn_MO - 11:50pm on 05/23/10

It's not a pork thing, it's a nitrate/nitrite thing. [NT] - Meryl - 11:52pm on 05/23/10

Does it exist without the nitrates? [NT] - Meryl - 11:53pm on 05/23/10

I can look into it through the buying club/co op I belong to. I will let you know - Dawn_MO - 11:55pm on 05/23/10

Yes, you can buy it without nitrates. It's hard to find. [NT] - Curious1 - 2:29am on 05/24/10

Believe I've seen it at Whole Foods. [NT] - Pat-NoCal - 1:01pm on 05/25/10

Meryl, I often sub bacon with chopped green olives. Can you eat that? [NT] - EvaN - 7:02am on 05/24/10

I can eat them, but I find them too salty. I haven't eaten bacon in eons, and I have a feeling - Meryl - 7:40am on 05/24/10

Making your own bacon is easy. As for olives, if they're too salty, give them a soak. [NT] - Traca - 8:01pm on 05/25/10

I am going to be selling them prepackaged at the Farmer's Market. - Dawn_MO - 10:38pm on 05/23/10

Great thread folks! Thanks bunches! *�* [NT] - Glennis_NoCA - 8:19pm on 05/30/10

Make sure you only add the dressing after the pasta is cold. [NT] - EvaN - 9:44pm on 05/23/10

Maybe making sure all the ingredients are cold when made might help too. - Dawn_MO - 10:47pm on 05/23/10

One pound of all-purpose flour is 4 cups, and a pound of white, granulated sugar is 2 cups. Muffins - DawnNYS - 2:41am on 06/03/10
The weight varies according to brand.I use Gold Medal Unbleached AP Flour, & it weighs 4.5oz per cup [NT] - Meryl - 2:50am on 06/03/10

And it depends on what method of measurement you use, ie, spoon & sweep vs scoop and sweep - I use - Meryl - 2:54am on 06/03/10

So, cheezz, to be absolutely accurate, invest in a scale. It's worth it! [NT] - Meryl - 3:02am on 06/03/10

I would say she needs to check the age of the yeast and her oven's temperature. - Amanda_Pennsylvania - 9:57pm on 06/02/10

I don't think it's the yeast - Richard in Cincy - 10:38pm on 06/02/10

It's odd--I've never had bread collapse halfway through the baking. - Amanda_Pennsylvania - 1:08am on 06/03/10
When I've had quick breads collapse, it's because I was too lean with the flour. Maybe that? [NT] - Steve2 in LA - 3:22am on 06/03/10
Se mentions the "quick rise" system. Does that involve extra yeast? It's possible the problem - Joe - 3:41pm on 06/03/10

18339. FRC - What am I missing? Coconut water = salty, flavorless dishwater - DawnNYS - 2:45pm on 06/07/10 (11)

Dawn, I don't know how you are getting the coconut water but. . . - mistral - 2:51pm on 06/07/10
It's full of electrolytes and it has been used to replace blood in emergency situations. [NT] - Marsha tbay - 3:27pm on 06/07/10

Hmm! That's interesting - yeah, blood plasma, that's about what it tasted - DawnNYS - 12:29am on 06/08/10

Dawn I've not wanted to even try coconut water here. In Jamaica someone opened a coconut for us - Marsha tbay - 1:32am on 06/08/10

I've found it just the opposite - milk/water from the young is tasteless, mature is delicious :o) [NT] - DawnNYS - 2:12am on 06/08/10

I found a review on Amazon--Ouch. - Richard in Cincy - 3:16am on 06/08/10
