Want to use my a recipe my Mom copied from someone but unfortunately there is no leavening in the recipe. (Double unfortunately Mom passed 3 yrs ago) It is a banana muffin recipe and has the usual ingredients of flour, egg, sugar, oil, spices and 1/2 cup milk. I looked up several muffin recipes and some use baking soda, some use baking powder and some a combination of both. How do you determine which should be used in the recipe? I'd greatly appreciate some help from someone who understands the chemistry here. ]]> kua http://www.timebomb2000.com/vb/showthread.php?428995-Baking-powder-or-baking-soda http://www.timebomb2000.com/vb/showthread.php?428388-Canning-Question&goto=newpost Sun, 12 May 2013 02:57:30 GMT I am starting to can meat and have followed the directions in the Bluebook. I am new to this and I am wondering why the can continues to bubble as it is cooling. It still seems to be sealed and the lid hasn't popped so I think it still good. Can anybody explain this to me. ]]> Spanky http://www.timebomb2000.com/vb/showthread.php?428388-Canning-Question http://www.timebomb2000.com/vb/showthread.php?428049-Got-a-Canning-Question-(Greens)&goto=newpost Sun, 05 May 2013 22:58:10 GMT Wife's been putting up a some mixed greens, collards, turnips & mustard. We usually freeze them, but decided to try canning some. Didn't look at the book, only pressured the pints for 40 minutes, as we do most garden veggies. But, looking at the Ball book today, she noticed it recommends 70 minutes for greens.

Only 12 pints, so no problem to toss, if necessary. Our method of canning, jars are hot, greens are blanched for 3 minutes, to reduce bulk and allow fuller filling of the jar.

Got another bushel basket getting ready to can.

3/4 to 1 cup regular grits
1 leftover fried chicken breast
4-5 cups milk
serves 4
WOW, that was good.
I took about a cup of regular, not quick GRITS, put them dry in a dry Revere ware pot (an iron pan would have burned them because it doesn't cool off quickly) and TOASTED the dry grits STIRRING CONSTANTLY in the pot over a medium heat till a nice corn aroma came off them and they were a LIGHT TAN color.

THEN I added at least 4-5 cups of milk, a leftover, cut up, fried chicken breast, (with skin, I like the skin and coating)cut into big chunks, and a whole can of CREAMED CORN.

I cooked it stirring constantly, the grits, milk, chicken and creamed corn for about 20 min adding milk as necessary to be able to keep cooking for 20 min. It comes out as a THICK food you eat with a fork not a spoon. I topped it with butter and REALLY enjoyed it.

The only other thing I might have added is broiled mushrooms, like I had in a very very similar dish in Italy.

I ate about a third of it and poured the remainder into a smaller loaf pan to cool into a "loaf" that I could slice, heat and eat with chicken gravy tomorrow. (If it lasts that long.) I am already hungry for "seconds", eyeing that pan. ]]> ainitfunny http://www.timebomb2000.com/vb/showthread.php?427690-Been-having-some-tummy-problems-needed-a-bland-but-hearty-meal... http://www.timebomb2000.com/vb/showthread.php?427609-mixer-questions-please-help&goto=newpost Sun, 28 Apr 2013 17:03:43 GMT does anyone understand what the difference is with the $300+ dollar kitchenaide mixers?

artisan vs professional vs classic vs all those attatchments........ ( I still use a cooking spoon for cakes and a bread machine for hard work)

I asked at Kohls and at Belks, and JC Pennys on line link is a hundred bucks higher !!! than amazon, but the Kuhl's sales clerk was of absolutely no help as he has probably never even used a $9 hand mixer

sure could use some advice from ya'll please ]]> NC Susan http://www.timebomb2000.com/vb/showthread.php?427609-mixer-questions-please-help
