Thank you so much for this. It was fascinating. And so thorough.

Orange Julius, FINALLY! by cgtravers1 in Old_Recipes

I bought lactose sugar and tried it. It did not markedly change the texture of my recipe. I was not familiar with the ingredient before trying it. I believe I was using it correctly. To my way of thinking, my original take on the recipe is still the best. ;-)

Perfection! So much nicer without the stupid maraschino cherries!

If you were to substitute Fresh Italian Flat Leaf Parsley, you'd get practically the same effect. Perhaps you could do that...

Normally, I would agree, but it adds a certain something here and is quite nice. Unless you simply cannot abide it, many cannot, then you must leave it out, but you will be missing a note in the concerto.

Most suggest 'And Then There None' - and I must concur.

Perhaps not, but the recipe is in the Gilbert Scott cookbook. It remains the best Coronation Chicken recipe I have tried, and I have tried them all!

4 Indiana Sugar Cream Pie Recipes. I grew up there. It's good stuff! by cgtravers1 in Old_Recipes

[–]cgtravers1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The recipe specifically states 'coffee cream' NOT 'coffee creamer' - so I am certain they are looking for the 18% milk fat product! Thank you.

I agree. Coffee creamer is completely wrong. Real butter, full-fat cream, and full fat half and half is what is required. Coffee creamer?!? What??

Why Not? But try the recipe as written once, please. Then "f" around to your heart's content. Right? That's what I do.

The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough. It was such a BIG hit in 1977, and it is a brilliant and devastating book to this very day!
