2. I love braunschweiger - sad that in the seat of what used to THE Kahn’s home - I’ve never seen Kahn’s in our local stores.

   Will have to try and look for it more closely.

   I do it - and chicken livers - once a year.

   If you like cooking/cooking shows - the ‘new’ Esquire channel is running Knife Fight - a bit more bad word laced than anything on Cooking or Food but interesting non-the-less.

   I just wish that Cooking & Food would get back to the actual cooking shows - it’s either re-runs I’ve seen again and again or the ‘see what I ate’ at restaurant shows. I’ve also noticed that other then the ‘contest’ shows and Unique Sweets - dessert shows seem to have vanished from the lineups - talk about toeing the company line. I wonder if the Klingon War Bride - sets the company policy of what is being shown?

   Speaking of that there is ‘clearance’ store (think Big Lots) called Ollies - I have to run out as they have Paula Deen’s Southern Cooking Bible - for 4 bucks. By the time I die - I might have all the good ones. I just got the 1st of Julia Child volumes (DVD) - makes me think back to all the cooking pioneers - would love to see those shows again. Even though Ms Child’s French Onion soup in b/w looks like a brown mess and the beef stock that she strained into the soup - really looks disgusting in b/w.

   Taking another Culinary Institute course Baking Pastries and Desserts (which I already did via the workbook/text book) this one is on DVD (The Great Courses) - and I find that I am really a visual learner. Still trying to figure out where to pass the cakes and such I would like to make - as we aren’t big sweets/desserts eaters anymore. I’ve gone to the mini pans/dishes - hopefully we can find a friend who wants to take it.

3. Church dinners and soup kitchens might take your baked goods.

   Now that the weather is “warmer” (May starts in 2 days and it’s 44° here today) I’m thinking of making bread again. The way to learn it is to make about 4-5 loaves a day, every day, for a couple weeks. Give us this day our daily bread, and you get really good at it. OTOH, my brother has a bread machine, sitting in a box in the basement since 1989, just waiting to be used again.

4. Love, love, love bread. It was my brother (and sadly living in Kalifornia for 3 years - my ‘earth mother’ friends out there) who taught me how to make bread. I have killed two bread machines. However, with the youngest daughter required to eat gluten free - we are eating much less of the wheat stuff.

   I had a friend who made a bread - she called the 7 day loaf - supposedly Biblical based and you could (with water) survive on it for a week. Sadly I never got the recipe for it. Not that this bunch would eat a healthy bread.

   That is my other problem - they all tend to be as white and ‘fluffy’ as possible - which isn’t the best to eat and doesn’t fly anymore with the daughter.

   My bread making of late is chulupas and empanada dough.

   I could make and eat most things (there are a couple of cuisines I am not fond of - too spicy) and a couple of veggies and fruits I’m not fond of - but this crowd is same old, same old - and very limited in their food desires/likes. The son who got me hooked on Food Network and has my fridge stuffed with gochujang and German curry ketchup - is off his feed right now.

   Since I can’t breathe - so am I.

   We were at 70 a couple days ago - its 53 right now. And so very, very wet. Our backyard is going to be a jungle before we can get out and cut it down.

   Thanks for the ideas on the food dispersal. We shall see, I’m sure a friend will step up - we used to swap food back in my hubby’s college days - now that we are all unemployed - might get back to it again.
