Abort Mission I had 5 good days in Missouri and we went to a petting farm and u-pick fruit attraction. We picked the equivalent of a gallon of berries. I about fell out of my shoes when the clerk told me the berries were $51.87. The infectious disease doctor has wondered if this is where I...

In The End It was good, company raved, but it was too confused and too sweet for my taste. Last night I made a custard pie for dessert and finally I have something that tasted good.

The Grand Finally The cake is then topped with meringue icing. Instead of water in the sugar syrup I used lemon juice which keeps the meringue soft and never sticky. Not wanting the edges of the cake to dry I frosted the sides as well.

But Wait There's More Whipped cream is folded into the curd and layered over the apricot spread as you stack the layers. I found aseptic pack whipping cream at Trader Joe's. Its .99 cents a cup, has unlimited shelf life, whips very stable and is great to be sure you never run out of whipping...

Yippee Two Appliances The warm curd is put in the blender while cold butter is added making the curd ready to use without cooling.

Step 2 The cake has an apricot spread with a lemon curd filling. I'm liking all these steps. Curd is cooked in a double boiler.

Even Steven I used a scale to be sure each pan had the same amount of batter. These are Corning Cornflower cake pans. I have two and have been looking solidly for the 3rd. (When I was putting them away one of the corn flower cake pans hit the floor) Must be the sign to go back to aluminum 9...

Long Story Short Its a butter cake using ground almonds in addition to flour with the addition of beaten egg whites. The cake shows three layers and the recipe directs using 4. I used three.

I have been craving cake and after desperate attempts at making cake using mixes while staying at a friends house, I was hot to bake when I finally got home from the hospital. Something I never do is use a recipe and I am amazed at how laborious it is to read and cook from a recipe. Recipe...

Changes During my time in Seattle I spent one night at my ex-wife's in our old condo. Its totally changed, all new furniture, paint and décor. I was surprised to walk in the kitchen and see the Amana bottom freezer gone, replaced by a BOL Frigidaire. She said the old fridge was making a...

Internet Heaven I'm sure you've heard me complain about the awful service Hughes Net provided for $114.95 a month. Being so remote it was our only option. Dish network has just rolled out it's own system and bundled with premium TV, I have amazing internet service and it's $89.00 a month for...

Warrantee 2006 Kia Sorento purchased new in Seattle. Free oil change for life at the local Kia dealer. Moved to Kansas City in 2007, all required maintenance, only repair a power steering unit. Moved to Beaverton in 2012 and Kia of Beaverton was awful. Price gouging, repairs not done...

The Miele White Pearl stopped dead mid stroke. I took it to my favorite vacuum repair where its getting a new cordwinder, service and telescoping electric wand. It will be ready next week, $302.00 with tax. I asked about occasional black spots on laundry which later wash out in the Maytag 806...

Max Extract On our Atlantis max extract extended spin time with out any additional spray rinse. I could never tell a meaningful difference in dampness when using this option. The Ensignia had knobs rather than buttons and a taller more sculpted back splash. The Ensignia was also one of the...

Paint Away The surfaces are neither porcelain or exposed to heat. For ease of application and later touch up I used liquid paint and a foam roller. No drips, runs or worry from over spray. Rustoleum makes an newer product that contains a primer. I used it to paint my daughter's Kitchenaid...

Smelly Stuff With work, determination and help from Laundress I can compound most modern projects to clean sufficiently I miss the "real" Joy before it became a bargain brand repository I miss the light lemon fragrance and performance of Sears Laundry detergent I miss the fragrance of Dash I...

1 2 3 When Peter's not home I sleep the first night on the right side, the next night in the middle and the third night on the left. Then I change the sheets after 3 nights of sleeping on fresh, crispy sheets. When we're together I change them daily because I don't like wallowing in body...

Corrected Thank you for clearing up manufacturer confusion. The name Broan went completely out of my frame of reference.

Dacor. General Electric I have always been a huge fan of compactors. Over the years I learned the narrower body machines created greater ram than Whirlpool so my choice was Dacor marketed under General Electric. If it was wet or food based it went in the disposer and everything else into the...
