Brie

Lets talk Brie. My dear friend Shannon makes an outstanding Brie. Regular old puff pastry, a slab of brie, brown sugar, and toasted nuts...mmmmmm. Big fish in Crofton makes an Ok brie. I would eat theirs again. Shannon serves hers with pears and crackers. Big Fish uses apples. I dont know but the hot melted cheese and the pears are outstanding. Apples arent bad, but the pears just melts right into it. I had brie on a cheese table along time ago at resturant(name leaves me) but it obviously wasnt that good cause I cant even rember it. Brie should be savored. If anyone else has had a good brie=speak out!!!!

new favorite restaurants

We need to talk about our favorite places to eat. For breakfast may be it is the Amish market in Annapolis, or Double T, I think we need new ones. We know the eggs are not greasy in either place. What else is there?? as the church lady on Sat nite live use to say, Discuss...... lets that be the topic of this week............

pecan pie-next day

Ok we learned a few things about pecan pie last nite. Ok the filling is fine. the crust is great.(refridgerator store bought is safe) but lets watch our temp on our oven.
350 is a great temp but the time in the oven is what we learned is not always the same. The recipe calls for at least 60 minutes but with Mikies oven we should start watching it at 50 minutes. Also take note pecan pies bubble over-big time. This is a great pie to do in a self cleaning oven!!!
Other wise we have ok reviews on this pie. Mine was a little on the dark side, next time better.
The other note is I remembered the recipe. Really amazing!!!

pecan pie

Ok, we all know i like to make pecan pie- I have used my recipe till it everyone is sick of it!! But would you believe I have forgotten the recipe-- It is over at my old house( my kids are guarding it for safe keeping!!) So we have a test recipe in the oven.
1 pie crust
3 eggs
1 cup karo syrup
1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp of vanilla
and 1 1/2 cups pecans
350 degree oven
put the pecans into the pie crust and set to side. Mix everything else together and pour over pecans in crust.
Bake for 60 minutes or until u think the thing is done( the clean knife in the middle test works sometimes with this one!!!)
I am hoping the amounts are right for the sugars. I will post the out come. I should be able to do this in my sleep as many pies as I have made!!! Enjoy!!

looking for a recipe

I am looking for a baked pineapple recipe. All i have researched are with cheddar cheese. The new husband says the one he ate had bread (?) in it.... Any suggestions? thoughts,, Maybe i will make the one with cheddar cheese and report on the findings.
