OK, very simple..

You need a Spring Form Pan, purchase some regular brownie mix and follow directions on box and cook in spring form pan (I will sometime add Chocolate chips to the mix prior to cooking) once the brownies have cooled, take 1 Can of WHole Berry Cranberry Sauce and spread over top of brownies still in pan, take 1 container of Cool whip and 1/4 cup of Cranberry Juice and mix together then spread on top of the Cranberry Sauce, I will sprinkle Chocolate chips on top. Place in refridge for about 1 hour, when ready to serve open the spring form pan and serve on the bottom piece, and I slice it like a pie and serve in wedges....

Real simple...enjoy

Thanks I will have to try that.

My Mom's all-time favorite dessert is bread pudding. I honestly have never tried it. Just the name has always sounded icky to me. Maybe if they have it on the cruise, I'll try it. Oh yeah, that's just what I need...another "favorite" dessert!

I also never ate it and then tried it a couple of years ago and enjoyed it. I now make a french toast strada and that is yummy and easy!!

A U T O P with food of course!!!

Well There are so many cookbooks out there now not sure if it would be worth it, and most of my recipes are not original...I don't want people to think I make these things up, most of them I have found over the years in magazines, internet, and cookbooks, etc

Maybe I can come up with a DIS Cruisers Double Scoop Cookbook, there are others on this board with recipes also, we could publish it and sell it on the boat, we would all profit

Great idea, I don't know about the selling part but we could all give out 5 favorite recipes or something.

 

[itdjbw]

Now those are 2 ingredients I do not have a recipe for.....

How about fried pickels, heard those were good.

 

[chip&dale&fun]

How about fried pickels, heard those were good.

They are -they are - they are....as are fried green tomotoes---yummy....better than chocolate......

copied this from the web.....but honestly, I have never deep fried anything....This would be something I would buy at the Fair.

1 egg, beaten
1 c. milk
1 tbsp. flour
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
6 drops hot sauce
3/4 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. pepper
3 1/2 c. flour
1 qt. sliced dill pickles
Oil for deep frying

Combine first 5 ingredients, stirring well. Set aside. Combine 3 1/2 cups flour, salt and pepper, stirring well. Dip pickles in milk mixture and dredge in flour mixture, repeat process. Deep fry in hot oil, 350 degrees until pickles float to surface and are golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

Add red pepper or sauce -even better.....

Quiet evening at the library tonight. Thanks to all this talk of chocolate/garlic and pickles I'm not the least bit hungry. Now the bread pudding... That was always my favorite when we went to Hometown Buffet for breakfast. Last time we were there they had put an omelet station where the bread pudding used to be . I guess I just wasn't meant to have any. Must teach DS that even though it's and 'all you can eat' place you must exercise moderation. But then again, he's looking forward to his unlimited Hawaiin pizza on the cruise.

Thanks, OM! That hit the spot after the movie today! (Kevin left it here) We only ate one, honest, hon.

Alicia has been wanting to see "She's the Man" and we finally made it today. Second choice was "The Wild", but I told her I'm pretty sure she can see that on the ship. Yes, she's 15, really. But she's a Disney kid.

So what are you using???

I'm a geek,....I have a comb binder!

So if someone wants to collect the recipes and publish them, they can send me the file and I can print it and comb bind them all.

weird, I know, but it's been SOOOOOOO helpful with school!

Would have sent more but as it was you got 1/3 of my batch! Thought if Mike came home and smelled cookies and I showed him the few that were left he'd think I was nuts!

He wouldn't think you were nuts, he'd think you were a pig! I didn't say you were, I only said what he would say if the cookies were all gone...so don't go postal on me...again....I guess I can quit the code talk...Kevin knows he got COOKIES in the mail and NO ONE IN FLORIDA did.

 

[justmestace]

Jim....I'LL send you cookies...my own special recipe.

AMAZING!

They're known as microfiber cloth, they're becoming real popular in collector car circles too, any auto store that has good car care products should have them.

One word of warning, wash them in mild soap, something like woolite or such, something that is just pure laundry soap, no addtives like fabric softener.

 

[sjtracey]

Warning - we are geeks that like to have matching t-shirts

Reminds me of when I was 17 and drove cross-country with my parents and brother. When we stopped at the Grand Canyon, my mother thought it would be a WONDERFUL idea for us all to wear RED shirts. Why red? I have no idea. But at 17, I was horrified and embarassed. These days, if Jim and I accidentally wind up in the same color shirt, one of us has to change. Sounds like I need therapy for this, huh?

(Great... a U TOP with my nutty parents...)

Sounds like just about the same thing as the little cloths I use to clean my glasses...the ones the eye doc gives you. I hand wash them, rather than put them in the machine, because you can't get fabric softener on them.

I know "why red?" So you'd stick out like a sore thumb! My mother ALWAYS put me in red when I was a kid -- she later told me it was the only way she could find me (I liked to wander off every chance I got - gee, I wonder why?!!!). There's nothing quite like traumatizing (also known as "embarrassing the daylights") out of the children!!
