Wow, Sandra! I love those reds! Your spools look so deep and rich!
And, just for the record, also well known in this area are the Flathead Cherries! The lake here is Flathead Lake (largest natural lake west of the Rockies) and the surrounding area is Flathead Valley. The east side of the lake grows awesome cherries and during the summer there are cherry stands all around the lake. So, I basically live in huckleberry and cherry heaven! But, the season is short!

Debbie - I googled clafoutis because there is beginning to be so many things food related on this forum that I don't know about, I was embarrassed to ask. But thank you for your humility!  I even mixed up Robbie Burns with Guy Fox! oops! They have a day for him too! Maybe we could come up with a few uniquely Canadian things...? We always can revert to poutine or how about long johns!  |

I agree, we are all coming here for a bit of fun, and if it wasn't fun we wouldn't be here. If you can match a recipe to your reels, all well & good, if you can't match the recipe to the reels but it is a good standby recipe that you return to again & again also good. Perhaps we ought to have categories such as 'Minimum faff', 'Moderate faff' and 'Chuck it & duck - it usually works ok for me!'  Agree & heartily second that thought, Rosemary! No "hafta's" here!! There are tons of recipes out there. And, I am ready, willing & able to figure out whatever needs figuring!!  So, no worries, whatsoever! |

Sandra, those cherry pies look wonderful. Is there any alcohol in that mix? Hic!

RiverOwl: Oh! I thought recipes were meant as a suggestion! I swear, I can try the same 'recipe' 3 times and get three different outcomes - usually all great, but never quite the same twice. LOL.do you actually make your soup just the way they say - or have you taken the general idea and adapted it to your own version - in which case it's a NEW recipe isn't it? i don't think any of us would mind low-cal recipes - and if there's anyone out there that actually needs extra calories (i know some people who do - so this is not as strange as it sounds), anyone can adapt the low-cal version with a few minor changes My 'citrus bowl' is in the mail today. Looking forward to the return! |
