My mom used to make baked apples. She'd core the apple and fill it with mixture of chopped apple, flour, currants and sultanas, cinammon (maybe allspice too) and sugar, and bake them. I don't know about nuts though. I'll have to get her recipe. They produced a nice juice and had a wonderful spicy apple taste. We'd eat them with vanilla ice cream.Monique said:Anyway, I made a delicious apple ball:
Take an apple, peel it and remove the core.
Take a square of puff-pastry and put some beaten egg on it, together with a layer of sugar, cinnamon and some zest of a lemon.
Place the apple on the middle of the square and fill the core of the apple with a mixture of almond paste and raisins (that were hydrated in hot water or liquor).
Fold the puff-pastry so that it encloses the apple and cover with some egg and some more sugar.
Bake in a hot oven for 30 minutes and enjoy

I will definitely have to try apple balls.
I think soaking the raisins, currants or sultanas in rum would make for a nice dish.
I also love rum cake.
Funny you mention this. PF has helped me gain several pounds over the years. Mostly from beer though.nismaratwork said:*DROOOL*
You know it never occurred to me that I might put on weight because I read PF. :

turbo-1 said:OK nismar, I'm going to ruin your diet right now. Get a couple of large cloves of fresh garlic and put them in a preheated oven on a cookie sheet with a potato. When the baked potato is done, split it and mash the center a bit. Nip off the ends of the baked garlic cloves and squeeze the now-soft garlic into the baked potato. Add salt, pepper, and some butter to the potato and then cram in some nice sharp cheddar and pop that sucker back into the oven until the cheese is melted and starts to brown.
Better make extras! My wife had a bad case of the flu about 30 years ago and I couldn't get her to eat anything until I came up with this easy treat. Then, the garlic/cheese potatoes became a staple. They are SO good.
I hope Greg can withstand the damages.nismaratwork said:Oh god that sounds absolutely amazing. That said, when I die from cardiac failure my estate is suing this thread. :tongue:
Whenever my wife or I make mashed potatoes, we boil them with the skins on, along with onions and peeled garlic cloves. Drain, mash everything, add salt, pepper, and butter and serve. Mmmm! My grandmother would have insisted on adding heavy cream before mashing, but she was a product of Depression-Era farm culture. I ate more butter and cream when I stayed with them (a week or two each summer) than I ever got at home. My grandfather was a heavy-equipment mechanic, tall and strong as an ox, and he burned it off. He had cream and berries on his cereal every morning before he got his fried eggs, bacon, buttered toast etc, ate a heavy lunch and supper, and polished off a big bowl of French vanilla ice cream every night.nismaratwork said:One of my favorite potato applications is: boil in salted water, sweat some onions, then add smashed garlic and sautee... finish with freshly grated horseradish. Mash it all together with the potatoes and enough cream and butter to stun a rhino at a dozen paces. I recommend this with lamb or steak.

I know you cook an awesome steak too!Ivan Seeking said:Heh, well, yes, but I'm the cook around here, and that ain't saying much! I do, however, make a very fine taco. I thought I should learn how to cook at least one of the major food groups.
Toast and cereal are about the extent of my wife's cooking. She used to cook, but I'm lucky if I can get her near a stove once a year now.
YUM! Do you have a recipe?Astronuc said:My daughter made a leek, potato, sausage, carrot and kale soup this evening. It really good, especially given how cool it has become. She added some chicken broth and some half-and-half to make it creamy. The sausage is a sweet Italian type, mildly spiced.
It was bascially scratch, but I'll see if I can reconstruct the process including quantities of ingredients and the order in which they were added.Evo said:YUM! Do you have a recipe?
Phrak said:I've recently rediscoved Hummus. It's the pasty stuff they put in peta bread sandwiches. I spread it on Boogotti or toast. Sabra brand is what I found wonderful. Then I bought Tribe brand which is much too tart with much too much added citric acid in my taste.
For me it's all about the garlic. The hummus is the perfect medium for the garlic. The boogotti is for the hummus so you have something to chew on.

I never ate even half this much food.
You're posting in the wrong thread, this thread is about recipes, cooking methods, cooking untensils, books and tv shows about cooking.Je m'appelle said:I'm currently on a weightlifting program, with muscle hypertrophy as a goal, though I don't intend to become a professional bodybuilder or even get that much muscle mass, the diet must be pretty rough in order to achieve considerable results. I'm currently in a "bulking" phase, which means I'm gaining mass, so I have to eat like a monster.
My wife has a (mild) anaphylactic reaction to bell peppers.Monique said:How can you go wrong with bell peppers?
That's too bad, it's really puzzling why the human body can have such an exaggerated reaction to products that are completely harmless. I've found myself reacting badly to certain food items this past week, I'm not sure what happenedDaveC426913 said:My wife has a (mild) anaphylactic reaction to bell peppers.
Bell peppers are the "filler" of modern meals. They are in EVerything.
Eating anywhere other than home is a Herculean task of communicating with waitpersons and cafeteria staff.
Oh, and what doesn't have peppers in it has eggs in it. Guess what else she has an allergy to?
