Excellent! Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Bill....

Absolutely outstanding! Dense, chewy, moist and bursting with flavor. I actually did this 1/2 recipe in my bread maker, although I did most of the kneading by hand because the dough is fairly stiff. A bunch of us are planning a trip to a local winery in March. I'm going to make it again and take a g...

Well, the Russian Black Bread is in its final rise before going into the oven. I have a hearty beef stew simmering on the back burner and am going with a bottle of dry red wine with it. I made a half recipe for just one loaf. Instead of coffee crystals, I used good strong coffee left from this morni...

It was recommended in Smart Computing magazine, so I checked it out as my old recipe software just wasn't doing what I wanted. You can download a trial first and see how you like it. Their support at the website is also extremely impressive. I love the video how-tos.

You can check it out here.

I got the stuff today and plan on making the Russian bread this weekend. I just imported it into this wonderful cookbook software I got a couple of months ago. I pretty much just copied and pasted from MM into the cookbook, linked each of the ingredients to the database, imported the picture and thi...

Those of us who do a bit of cooking could spot a phony recipe in a second! I don't doubt this one a bit. I think I may have had one of those hard pieces of coffee this morning! I made it a bit stronger than usual as it was just hideous out today and I had to work outside all day. Freezing temps, sno...

I might try it out next weekend myself, Madea! Maybe we can compare notes...

Oh, yeah. Ale, cheese and fruit with that one! Sounds wonderful.

Oh, my, Sophie, that's going right into my new recipe software I just downloaded! Rasberrys and chocolate - doesn't get any better than that! I'm starting 6 new rasberry plants this year and can't wait for them~

Very cool, Katsmom! I was wondering if you had attempted that installation yet. I agree with Hawka; the sound to me was a tiny bit scratchy on my 98SE computer too and sounded much better with earphones. I think I'm the one who still has your old Amber game, Hawka. I can't wait to find out how Light...

Yup, gonna have to relent and get this one.

Actually if you hover your pointer over the URL box, it will also tell you in case you forget where you wrote it down. I, on the other hand, NEVER forget where I put things!

We all know breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But at 4:30 or 5:30 am, eating is the last thing on my mind. I heard this recipie on NPR one day and ran to the website and downloaded it. It's from a cookbook by Nigella Lawson. They are really, really good. I'll just post her whole thing...

They are also my personal favorite for an apple pie.
