Fruitcake - I have a recipe for an ALMOST flourless ‘fruitcake’ that has no candied anything, just walnut halves, dried apricot halves, date bits (the kind dusted in oat flour) dried cranberries or cherries (optional, for their color and tartness), eggs, salt and brown sugar. It has only 1/4 c. flour per small loaf and although I haven’t tried it, I bet any flour could be substituted for wheat.
Curry - How about a garlicky, ground pecan, chickpea, red curry spread? It can be served cold with pita chips or vegetables or warmed on noodles or naan. It’s interesting and delicious but you have to chew gum after eating it!
Roast beef - I developed a deep craving for it while pregnant and it has persisted to this day. Lack or iron maybe??
For dinner tonight - anything that requires minimal clean up. Lots of guests coming and going tomorrow through the weekend and I’m going to be busy.
psue - I would love that fruit cake recipe. Sounds like something that could work. The flour substitutes are pretty good these days,
The curry spread sounds good - pecans are great.
Roast beef craving - probably just because it's awesome!!!
Have fun with your guests. Sounds like a lot of work.
golden, what is the best way to share that recipe with you, PM?
In another life I would travel the world searching for the best French Dip sandwich!
Happy All Hallows Eve everyone! Dinner tonight?: leftovers from lunch with NC friends. Sooooo lovely to see dear friends - we have a 25 year history with them. I had to restrain myself from locking them in the basement to keep them from leaving!
I hate when I forget to write down recipe alterations!
In the good old days, I used to make a dark fruit cake and a light one as was the custom then. And sometimes a Dundee cake.
It's OK to make up variations when cooking and not record them, but baking is touchier and it pays to write down variations that work.
Mother used to make a lovely cherry pound cake which was festive, but nice any time of year.
And I used to make marzipan (almonds blanched, and ground in a hand grinder - you couldn't buy blanched and ground in those days) then shaped into fruits, and whatever, and decorated. Lots of fun and very tasty.
Looking up Dundee cake……..
Cherry pound cake sounds beautiful! I make a glazed sherry (not cherry) cake that I would surround with sherry glazed Italian plum halves from my tree. My tree now belongs to someone else (sniff, sniff)
My mom and I both love marzipan. Did your recipe have food grade rose water in it? I looked for it once to try making some for her it but gave up.
and this one for the cherry pound cake. It looked just like that.

Mother actually used a Madeira cake recipe and added the cherries.
Re marzipan, I don't know that I had a recipe. Certainly I didn't use rose water. I think mother just showed me how to do it. I blanched and ground almonds, mixed them with egg white and powdered (icing)sugar and added almond extract. You got a feel for the right proportions. This recipe would be like it but of course we didn't have a food processor - it was all done by hand. https://skandibaking.com/marcipan-almond-confection/
Your glazed sherry cake sounds awesome - surrounded by glazed home grown plums!!!
I need to quit reminiscing and get back to sorting out my little freezer. It's home frozen meals till we use most of them up. I need to know what is hidden in there.
However, I think that the recipe calls for uncooked hamburger, then baking it all together inside the pepper, like making a meatloaf.
Next, saving myself some trouble, stir frying it all together, peppers cut up in a casserole, add spanish rice.
This morning, facing delays in getting my coffee and waiting 2 hours for dH to wake up, I decided to prepare breakfast in a hurry from the home frozen meals in the freezer.
We had microwaved Green Chile Pork and Sweet potato mashed. Dh did not say a thing, I just handed him a plate and he ate it. No discussion, no waiting, breakfast was done by 9:30 a.m.
Coffee came later.
I liked the change, and I was hungry for anything hot.
Later, I sat outside for two hours (in the car) and watched an entire family of red-tailed hawks learning to fly, dive bomb, and hunt. Beautiful days, colder nights.
How long will it take to work off Thanksgiving dinner?
🥧🥧🥧🧁🧁🧁🥧🥧🥧
It depends on what you’re having for Christmas dinner!
For the last 5 years I’ve ended up with 5 extra lbs. at the end of every year that absolutely, positively does not budge unless I give up dinners all together.
taking notes. forgot about taking xmas dinner into account.
i think my only hope is to stop eating from today till thanksgiving.
bundle of joy
🥧🥧🥧
🥧🥧🥧
🧁🧁🧁
🧁🧁🧁
😇😇😇
Bundle, just get a stomach virus, spend 2 days in the bathroom. Then you will be good to go, eating 🥧 🥧
Nacy, I gave my kids Pedialyte and it did seem to help. When they finally asked for peanut butter on toast I knew they were on the mend.
I hope you’re both back to your peppy selves soon!
I'm thinking the spicy chicken mole soup must be very good. Have a great visit.
Peasuep, when I was a kid I called soup pointless. I still get confused why so many people love soup. Maybe when I grow up I'll like it 😆
Anyways, my hubby needs to thank you, you were talking about desert, and I was thinking of things you could make, then I got a craving and made apple crisp.
Muchly enjoy your company!
😋
Turkey necks and sauerkraut here. It's so easy and smells good!
I spent a lot of time yesterday baking with GD and then half of this morning cleaning up! Cooking with kids is fun but messy and uses twice the usual number of dishes.
