Aside from the fact that I wouldn't want to be the one to grind my coffee whatever roast it may be after someone who just finished grinding their two pounds of mocha java super blueberry pumpkin spice decaff, you have no idea of how often those machines are cleaned if at all. Coffee contains oils and those oils like anything else can get rancid. I guess you can go to your local roaster to get your beans ground, but the best way is to get your own grinder and grind as you use them. Coffee grounds are kind of like bread. Best when fresh and it only goes downhill from there. If you're going to do beans and keeping in mind that coffee beans can actually get pricy if you really want quality, the next best thing you can do is get a quality grinder and after that is an accurate digital scale that can weigh to the gram.

Re: [CnD] Dinner Last Night - Stuffed Mushrooms
That really sounds good! Yummy! Becky Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: Food Dude via Cookinginthedark Sent: Wednesday, August 23, 2017 3:05 PM To: cooking in the dark Cc: Food Dude Subject: [CnD] Dinner Last Night - Stuffed Mushrooms Howdy All, I was making baked spaghetti last night and when I got out the mushrooms to slice and add to my spaghetti, I found some really nice large ones. They were about 2 and a half to 3 and a half inches in diameter...quite nice for white mushrooms and they were perfect for stuffing. I had some Stove Top stuffing so away I went... I used 2 cups of the stuffing and a cup of water, combining in a microwave safe bowl. I also added about 1 teaspoon, maybe closer to 2 teaspoons of salt and 2 teaspoons of Old Bay to the stuffing and water.. I tossed this in the microwave after stirring it around a bit to combine the salt wit & Old Bay with the stuffing...I probably should have done this before adding the water, but no harm no foul because it was after I added the water that I remembered I had a can of crab meat in the pantry. I microwaved the stuffing on high for 4 and a half minutes with the Magic Chef Talking microwave confirming this information when I started it. While the stuffing was cooking, I picked 8 nice, large white mushrooms that would be spared from being sliced and added to my spaghetti and would instead be stuffed! I broke off the stems and set them aside. They will be great chopped and tossed in the spaghetti. I cleaned he mushroom caps with a damp paper yowl and set them aside to wait for the stuffing to be done. While waiting on the stuffing, I grated about a cup of mozzarella cheese. When the stuffing was done, i carefully removed the lid so I would not get burned by any steam that would escape when the lid was cracked. A couple of quick fluffs with a fork and the stuffing was ready for the next addition...the crab meat! I added the crab meat and the cheese, stirring to combine and mix well. The stuffing was hot so the cheese began to melt in and after a small test, I knew I had hit a home run! I pulled a small pan, 8 by 12, from the cupboard and added about a cup of water to it. Then I generously stuffed each mushroom cap and put in the pan. When all 8 mushrooms had been stuffed, I put them in the preheated 325 F oven to bake for about 30 to 45 minutes... actually I put them in and then finished making the baked spaghetti and let the mushrooms and the spaghetti bake for about 30 minutes...so the mushrooms had about 45 minutes of total bake time! They were awesome and really enhanced the baked spaghetti! These will be coming to a Cooking In The Dark Show soon! They were too easy and so good! It would be a crime not to make them on the Cooking in The Dark Show for all our listeners! Keep on Cooking!

Longtime list member Alice Jackson has passed away, and I'm forwarding her obituary. I am going to miss her very much. When I got out of law school and had lots of time because I didn't have a job, Alice helped me improve my cooking skills. But we didn't just do cooking. Around the holidays I still remember a lesson on wrapping packeages. But we didn't just do boxes. She showed me a lovely way to wrap a liquor bottle if it didn't come in a box. What a special person she was! Alice B. Jackson, 64, of Hamden was called home to the Lord on Sunday, November 20, 2016 after a brief illness. The daughter of the late Fred and Frances (Barnum) Jackson, Alice was blind from birth, but she did not let it stop her from living a very full and productive life. Alice was raised in Norwalk, and was one of the first disabled students to be "mainstreamed" in the public schools. She graduated from Norwalk High School and attended the University of Connecticut, where she earned a master's degree in social work. She had a long career with the state's Services for the Blind, teaching people who had lost their vision how to regain their independence. Alice's intelligence, grace, courage, humor and warmth brought her a wide circle of devoted friends. She was a capable advocate for the disabled all her adult life, serving as president of her local Lion's Club, and active at both the state and national level in organizations for the blind. Alice was extremely musical. She sang in the children's choir at St. Paul's church, and in her teens she gained widespread recognition for her heartfelt interpretations of folk songs, accompanying herself on the guitar. Later she studied voice and often lent her fine lyric soprano to classical performances in the area. Alice was also a talented cook. All of her friends and family looked forward to her Christmas cookies each year. She was an accomplished knitter and crocheter, an avid reader, a technology enthusiast and a lifelong cat lover. Alice's life was strongly rooted in faith. She was an active member of St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Cheshire where she sang in the choir for many years. She studied faith healing so that she could minister to those in physical or emotional pain, and became a powerful "prayer warrior," praying each day for healing and peace for our troubled world. Alice is survived by her three brothers, Fred (Ted) Jackson and his wife Vickie of Lakeland, Florida, Daniel Jackson and his wife Mary of Ridgefield, and John Jackson and his wife Emily of Milford; her sister, June Jackson of Edmonds, Washington; as well as many nieces and nephews. Relatives and friends are invited to attend a Memorial service for Alice on Saturday, December 10, 2016 at 11:00am at St. Peters Episcopal Church, Cheshire. Visitation with Alice's family will take place on Friday, December 9, 2016 from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm at BEECHER & BENNETT FUNERAL HOME, Hamden. Interment will be private. Memorial donations in Alice's name may be made to the Lion's Club at www.lcif.org, or the American Federation of the Blind, 2 Penn Plaza, Suite 1102, New York, NY 10121 or St. Peter's Church, 59 Main St., Cheshire, CT 06410.

My new electric stove seems to heat intermittently, in that the burners will cycle on and off rather than staying on steadily until they reach temperature. I really think this is where the problem is. Does anyone have an electric stove that works in this way, and if so, have you been successful at making fudge on said stove? Any ideas on how I might get my fudge to turn out right again? Thanks in advance for any he lp!

Re: [CnD] Oops disaster for long-time cook
I guess my worst problem came when I dumped a can of pork and beans into my, ready to refrigerate, jello. I now label most things in the pantry with braille--time consuming but safer at least. - Original Message - From: Linda Yacks via Cookinginthedark cookinginthedark@acbradio.org To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org; 'rebecca manners' rebeccamann...@hotmail.com Sent: Monday, November 10, 2014 11:04 AM Subject: Re: [CnD] Oops disaster for long-time cook I put syrup in my baked beans. Let me tell you that honey mustard salad dressing does not make a good replacement for catsup. Yep, grabbed that bottle and liberally covered my meatloaf with it. That's the second time I did that. The first time, I thought, might be good and baked the meatloaf. Nope, don't do that again. So the second time, I wiped it off and used the catsup instead. All I can say is: smell, smell, smell or taste prior to using. I am sure many of us, including our sighted friends, have had surprises in their food. My mom has bought the wrong item at the store just because it was on the shelf with the item she actually wanted.

I was making some baked beans for a church event a few weeks ago. I was following my mom's recipe. She uses catsup, mustard, brown sugar and (I think) worcestershire sauce. Anyway, I grabbed a flat bottle which I assumed contained mustard and stirred it into the beans. I smelled it and then tasted it noticing that something was odd about the mixture. To my horror, I discovered that I had used chocolate syrup in place of the mustard. OOPS!!! Fortunately, we were able to add mustard and the beans were not that bad.

So don't get discouraged as you'll see, things happen to all of us, old or new cooks. You can laugh at me or with me whichever. I was making a sauce for meatballs that required some bouillon granules. I made a large batch as I was going to freeze it. Saw a jar in my cupboard that was the same size that I ordinarily get bouillon in. I opened it and sniffed and didn't look at the size of the granules. When I had eyes available, I discovered it was actually yeast. Oh brother. Had to regretably throw out the sauce. See, old cooks make mistakes sometimes too through carelessness. So much for that sauce. Lesson re-learned. So to all the new cooks out there, take care to know you have the right ingredient that you think you have. Sigh.

Hi Linda. Welcome to the list. My name is Becky and I am from Georgia. Both of these recipes sound delicious. I hope you enjoy your time here; this is a great list.

Hi, My name is Linda and I live in Michigan. We moved from Colorado where I was born in 2013. I have had a zillion hears of cooking experience as a totally blind woman. This recipe is a family favorite and is great for the holidays. The first is for dinner, the other is a great breakfast dish because you make it the day before and simply put it in the oven in the morning. The breakfast dish is a tradition on Christmas morning. Make Ahead Potatoes 8 medium potatoes peeled , cut into bite size pieces and boiled OR 1 package frozen cube hash browns. 2 8-oz cream cheese 2 cups milk 2 bouillon cubes or 2 tsps granules 1 tsp Italian seasoning 18-20 drops of Tabasco Shredded cheddar cheese Directions: Place potatoes in a 9-13 or 10-10 baking dish. In a saucepan or a microwave safe dish, melt the cream cheese, milk, and the seasonings mixing until smooth. Pore over potatoes. You can cover them and place these in the fridge or bake immediately. They taste much better if they are made the day before an Refrigerated overnight. Bake at 425dg until fairly firm about 40 minutes. Sprinkle top with cheese and return to the oven to melt the cheese. Make-ahead Breakfast Casserole 1 lb pork sausage 8 medium potatoes peeled , cut into bite size pieces and boiled OR 1 package frozen cube hash browns. 2 8-oz cream cheese 1 cup milk 1 tsp Italian seasoning 18-20 drops of Tabasco 6 large eggs Shredded cheddar cheese Cook the sausage and drain. Place potatoes in a 9-13 or 10-10 baking dish and mix the cooked sausage with them. Melt the cream cheese, milk, and seasonings in a saucepan or microwave safe dish. Blend until smooth. Beat the eggs and gently add to cheese mixture. Pore over potatoes and sausage. At this point, cover and refrigerate overnight. Bake at 425dg until set up. Takes about 40-45 minutes. Cover with shredded cheese and return to oven to melt cheese. You can bake either of these at lower temps if you have something else in the oven. We love the potatoes with ham. In fact, I have been known to dice ham in the potatoes and cook. You can make larger batches. My daughter buys a 5lb bag of the shredded hash browns and uses 5 cream cheese, etc. Just be sure you adjust all the measurements. I hope you will try these and enjoy. They really are delicious.

Re: [CnD] Black Bottom Cupcakes or Cake
Thanks for your help with this request. This looks very similar to the one I had planned to send from my favorites; I would suggest making the cup cakes rather than the cake. - Original Message - From: Kathy Brandt via Cookinginthedark cookinginthedark@acbradio.org To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Sent: Tuesday, October 28, 2014 12:16 PM Subject: [CnD] Black Bottom Cupcakes or Cake BLACK BOTTOM CUPCAKES (or CAKE) Recipe By : Rebecca Robbins McLane of San Francisco Serving Size : 24 Preparation Time :0:30 Categories: ChocolateChronicle Desserts Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method 12 ouncescream cheese 2eggs 1 2/3 cups sugar 10 ouncessemisweet chocolate chips 1 1/2 cups flour -- sifted 1/4 cup cocoa powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup water 1/3 cup cooking oil 1 tablespoonvinegar 1 teaspoon vanilla INSTRUCTIONS: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange 24 cupcake liners in muffin tins or liberally grease a cake/bundt pan. Blend together the cream cheese, eggs and 2/3 cup of the sugar in a large bowl. Stir in the chocolate chips. Sift the remaining sugar, the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt into a mixing bowl. Stir in the water, oil, vinegar and vanilla; beat until smooth. Fill cupcake liners 1/3 full with the chocolate batter; spoon the cheese mixture on top. If using a cake or bundt pan, scrape the batter into the pan, then top with several layers of the cream cheese topping, spreading it thinly because it will sink in deeper after each application. Bake until the cakes test done -- 30 to 35 minutes for cupcakes, 40 to 45 minutes for cake. Let cool 10 minutes before turning out on wire racks to cool completely. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - NOTES : Yields 24 cupcakes, or 12 servings of cake From www.recipesource.com ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
