These are also, often, the people who don't like raisins in their cookies, so even if you try to rebrand it as a dried fruit pie, they don't want to risk it.Gigi Norwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00495357787099352860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-9482220495955970742019-12-15T17:19:32.485-05:002019-12-15T17:19:32.485-05:00I do that cornbread thing but with buttermilk.

It is a regional recipe from my hometown in Maysville, KY where Magee's Bakery made them for 60 years. The transparent puddings, as we called the small tarts. were a staple in our house and in every house in Maysville and the surrounding area. They are George Clooney's favorite, too, and he would usually visit Magee's and get some when in the area (his parents live down the road in Augusta, KY). Magee's just this last year sold its store to an organization in town, and I hate to say it, but when I tasted the tarts at the new store, I found them just a bit lacking. Hopefully, that will improve. Anyway, here's an article you might enjoy about transparent pie and tarts. It tells you the difference between it and chess pie, which people erroneously often confuse it for. https://www.mycountrytable.com/transparent-pie/<br />Kathy Reelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17004247271452356577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-91298758983193428652019-12-15T14:53:49.810-05:002019-12-15T14:53:49.810-05:00Disgusting things?

My mom loved calves liver with onions, which I didn't like, but a year or so ago I tasted a friend's in a French bistro in London and it was delish. My mom made brains with scrambled eggs, not a success with me. But sweetbreads I loved! Still do. Funny that people cooked them because they were cheap, but now you only get in fancy French restaurants!<br /><br />I'm not much of a baker, in spite of loving Great British Baking. But this year I may make Laurie Colwin's Old Fashioned Gingerbread. And I just saw a recipe from Deb Perlman (Smitten Kitchen) for super easy sugar cookies that I may try.

It is strange. I had problems with dairy in the USA, though in Britain and Europe, I never had problems with dairy. I recently learned that wheat does not like me so I cannot eat wheat anymore. Sourdough seems ok, though. I was at the family Thanksgiving and despite dishes with dairy and wheat, I managed to find lots of food without dairy or wheat. There was turkey, salad and green beans. I ate the pumpkin pie and left the crust. I always figure a way around my allergies so I can enjoy eating. <br /><br />I have been looking at dairy free gluten free recipes among the 36 cookbooks that I have. <br /><br />DianaBibliophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07764234701385787238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-22317514848004309782019-12-15T13:47:18.174-05:002019-12-15T13:47:18.174-05:00me too!me too!Bibliophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07764234701385787238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-50879840402319213832019-12-15T13:11:28.539-05:002019-12-15T13:11:28.539-05:00Disgusting or dubious things I used to eat?

I figure if the batter didn't taste good the final product wouldn't either. So consider it a public service. My maternal grandpa used to put a piece of leftover cornbread in a bowl, add milk and sugar, and mush it up. He'd eat it for breakfast. I've never been tempted to try that one. As kids we loved to help Mom make bourbon balls but hated eating them. Didn't like the flavor. I'm still not wild about them. I did see a similar recipe recently for margarita balls with tequila I might just try.Pat Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12732230586783432052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-77005198949718711562019-12-15T13:04:23.991-05:002019-12-15T13:04:23.991-05:00I've never tried blancmange.
