Yes, most things that are had over and over and over get old, such as your
experience as a child. I loved all of those things, but must say didn't have
them really often as a child, mostly when I stayed overnight once a week or
so with my childhood friend from Arkansas. I loved that food her mom made!

Unless it's potato kugel or potatonik I don't want potatoes for
breakfast... okay, I'd eat a potato k'nish any time. So who else
knows the difference between a knish and a k'nish?

Yoo-hoo! I still live in the South. Grits were just not something
that was on our and any of my relatives table. 'Hashbrowns' I think,
are a relatively new invention for breakfast. The potatoes I saw on
a few friends table were just plain sliced and fried potatoes; no
grating involved.

Grits are still unimpressive to me and you are welcome to my portion.

Lucky you! I thought it was just hard to find here, but I had a

she says it's not easy to find there either.

My Safeway doesn't carry it. It's the flagship store for this area,

Ophelia, don't laugh or sneer, now, but mix jar of red currant jelly with
an equal amount of yellow mustard and use it as a sauce on little cocktail
wieners or meatballs. So good!

I imagine it would work. It would have the sweetness, the texture, the
sharp flavour.

My wife used make up BBQ sauce with red currant jam or jelly in it. I
always thought it was a good way to use up red currant jelly because I
never much cared for it and my mother used to make lots of it and give
it away. I know a couple places where I can buy it but I can't remember
seeing it recently in any grocery stores. I know it is at the local
produce stand and at the bakery where I get my bread.

I can't tell you the recipe because it's all done by eye. It's a standard shortcrust though. The fat is cut into the flour with my fingertips. This is done with room temperature ingredients although I use ice water and let the dough sit in the refrigerator for at least a half hour. I think the dough should be cold when it's rolled.

I precook the filling so I can optimize the temperature of the oven for the crust, which should be baked in a hot oven. Near as I can figure, the high heat causes the water to flash and separate the fat/flour layers from the water/flour layers. The pastry was brushed with cream before going into the oven.

I have no idea what you mean. I was talking about you saying you hated corn
meal mush and I responded that things do get old when you have them over and
over and over like the mush, what the Hell does that have to do with
reading?

OK, I did that when I made Jamaican hand pies a few days ago - but
your crust looks better. I thought mine was fine until I saw yours.

Next time, I'll buy beef fat from the butcher to use and see how that
goes.

We differ there. It should be cool, but not cold. I have to beat it
into submission when it's cold. Not fun.

Near as I can figure, the high heat causes the water to flash and separate the fat/flour layers from the water/flour layers. The pastry was brushed with cream before going into the oven.

I never think about doing that when I should, and I always have cream.

I've turned down the heat in my cooking. I must be getting old!

Hmmm I bet you still eat it hotter than I could stand

I interpreted it the same way as you. I had forgotten, for a brief
moment, that Cheri would never say anything nasty.

I've noticed this many times here. People often read the wrong thing
here in what someone says. It's happened to me too. We need to explain
thoroughly what we are saying and not assume that others get it right.

I always brush my pastry with beaten egg. I've never thought to mix it with
cream.

I agree. When pie dough it too cold it does not roll out nicely. It
needs to be just a little cool.

FWIW.... I have a pie in the oven right now. Our son is coming for a
birthday dinner tonight and his request was peach pie rather than a
cake. The first thing I did today was to make up a batch of pie dough. I
cut it in two, rolled it into balls and pressed them into discs, wrapped
them in wax paper and stuck them in the bridge. Then I turned on the
oven to pre-heat while I peeled and sliced the peaches. When the
peaches were ready I took one disk out and rolled it out for the bottom.
Then I rolled the second one, put the fruit mixture over the bottom
crust, dotted with butter, put the top layer on and stuck it in the oven.

LOL, sorry for the misunderstanding too. I agree about the negatives making
one jump to those conclusions, but I really was talking about repeat foods
becoming tiresome. No harm, no foul.

I would have thought that the "most things that are *had* over and over and
over get old" would have gone right back to the mush, and was suprised that
it was taken differently. Oh, and just for the record. I absolutely LOVE
"memory lane posts."

You might be right. I ordered some curry at a Thai restaurant and was given the choice of 4 heat levels: mild, medium, spicy, and Thai spicy. I took the Thai spicy. It wasn't all that spicy - they should have just called it "spicy."

You might be right. I ordered some curry at a Thai restaurant and was given
the choice of 4 heat levels: mild, medium, spicy, and Thai spicy. I took the
Thai spicy. It wasn't all that spicy - they should have just called it
"spicy."

I'm not a big fan of Thai foods but the kids love that stuff so we'll probably be going again. I'd order it again.

We went there because it was my friend's mom's birthday. I had brought a cake for her and the waitress took my cake into the kitchen. Later the chef brought this out:

The chef came out and sang happy birthday. I looked at the phone video I took and realized he had planted a kiss right on her lips. Hoo that was a little little shocking - especially for a 90 year old Chinese lady. I'll have to ask my friend if he saw that. Hoo boy.

I'm not a big fan of Thai foods but the kids love that stuff so we'll
probably be going again. I'd order it again.

We went there because it was my friend's mom's birthday. I had brought a
cake for her and the waitress took my cake into the kitchen. Later the chef
brought this out:

Ophelia, this laptop doesn't quote properly, but no, not "hot" English mustard, but a bright yellow kind like the US's "French's." This is the same kind that is popular on hotdogs and hamburgers here.
