This recipe calls for vanilla extract and not flavoring. From Cd-Kitchen - Vanilla extract is a vanilla-flavored product made by macerating chopped vanilla beans in a water-alcohol solution to extract the flavor; its strength is measured in folds. The contents of ethyl alcohol is at least 35% by volume (edocket.access.gpo.gov); flavoring on the other hand has less than 35%.
Not yet rated | | Kristie writes - "I actually have a recipe that has been in my family for about a hundred years. It is an apple cake recipe, and it is an incredibly dense cake . I noticed a similar recipe on your website, but since mine isn't exactly the same I thought I would submit it to you. The secret to mine is the brown sugar and baking the cake in a cast iron skillet".
Talking about cast iron it was interesting to read on catfish gumbo's blog spot - HEAVY DUTY DECOYS - No one would make duck decoys out of cast iron, right? Wrong. The idea seems preposterous, yet hunters of the past often used them. These flat-bottomed birds, each weighing as much as 30 pounds, were set on the wings of sink boxes to provide stability and to keep the boxes flush with the water’s surface.
| | The Pecan Festival is held the first full weekend in November and is held in downtown Colfax, Louisiana. Why celebrate the pecan? Well, for one thing, many area farmers grow the crop, and pecans were native to the area. Pecans were staples of the diets of the local Native Americans, and when the settlers began arriving here from the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi, large plantations grew pecans along with their other crops. Wild pecans were grafted and new varieties cultivated, and soon the crop flourished in the rich river land soils. Local homesteaders also benefited because almost every yard had one or two trees that produced enough pecans to “keep some and sell the rest”, providing them a small money crop in the fall.
Great gift idea.

| | American culinary folklore has it that fudge was invented in the United States more than 100 years ago. The exact origin is disputed, but most stories claim that the first batch of fudge resulted from a bungled ("fudged") batch of caramels made on February 14, 1886—hence the name "fudge." [1] from Wikipedia.com. This recipe is easy enough where fudge will be fudge and not fudged.

You can list neither all the virtues of fine flour, nor all its uses, how often it serves the baker and the cook. -MARTIAL, A.D. 40-103
I call a fig, a fig: a spade, a spade.
-Menander, 342-292 B.C.
Plato was often referred to as a "fig lover" because of his extreme fondness for these succulent morsels. The ancients believed that figs, one of the oldest cultivated fruits, brought pleasant dreams and should be eaten before dinner when the mouth is at its purest.!!!

Only about 10% of the corn grown ends up on the dinner table as a side dish, while over 50% of it is used for livestock feed. The rest of the crop is used to make everything from syrup and starch to whiskey and oil. Corn flakes were so popular in the early 1900's that there was over 40 companies producing this breakfast cereal in and around Battle Creek, Michigan. Tel Plaisir Simple ! | |
