Yum! This looks delicious-I might have to try it next with my son (so far we’ve done mashed bananas, steamed apples, & rice cereal). It looks so good I think mommy will have to eat some on toast-great idea!

How embarassing. You gave me a compliment about “how do I do it”, and I didn’t even see your post until 2 weeks later. I’m so sorry. The reality is I wish I could do and share more and sometimes (as in this case) get behind. I’m glad you like the info and I hope you’ll keep reading.

Um we are supposed to do things the hard way just because you wish technology to remain in 20th century?

Thanks for writing about this. There’s a mass of important tech information on the internet. You’ve got a lot of that info here on your site. I’m impressed – I try to keep a couple blogs somewhat ongoing, but it’s a struggle sometimes. You’ve done a big job with this one. How do you do it?

Comment on What Are Those Little Black Things? (Organic Mini Banana Bran Muffin Recipe) by Administrator

The closest explaination I can find is from Harold McGee’s On Food and Cooking: The Science and Lore of the Kitchen. He talks about produce (blueberries, bananas, carrots) and nuts (esp. walnuts) when in cake and muffin batters often changing color due to the mix of baking soda and alkaline pockets created when mixing. Some of these items, such as banana, are senstive to this pH of the alkaline batter and change color.

Comment on Slow Cooker: Need it or Not? by auntygabby

I use the slow cooker a lot for stock, but I’ve also made some other dishes in it (pot roasts, stews. I find the flavor is up to you — fresh herbs, good spices, as is is the variety of vegetables you incorporate. Slow cooker food can taste like Aunt Fanny’s Bad Beans, or it can be flavorful and interesting. I’ve adapted oven recipes for the slow cooker and also used the book “not your mother’s slow cooker.”
I’m not a slow cooker acolyte, but I think it has some uses — making something once a week in it is not unreasonable. But, it’s also not as easy as throwing everything into the pot. Some dishes require more set-up than we might expect. Meat needs to be browned, for example, to help draw out its flavor.
