Hi Everyone! I'm in the Smithtown (Suffolk County) area of Long Island, New York and was wondering if there is anyone near me? Thanks! Genie

Hi, I'm a little late but I purchased a capon at a local turkey farm (they raise all kinds of poultry) and I paid $2.49 a pound for an 8 pound bird. It was extremely tender and delicious. So maybe you can find one that is more reasonable than what you have seen. Good luck and hope you had a...

Hi, Here is another thread about making hard boiled eggs. I only use this method and it works perfectly! https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=115799 Good luck! Genie

Hi All, I get very uneasy about buying ground hamburger in a supermarket or even a butcher shop, as I feel I don't know what's in it. I did grind some meat years ago with my KitchenAid mixer, but it is 22 years old now and is starting to act up making bread dough. So I thought I should give...

Hi, I have 29 hens and I was down to 2-4 eggs a day. I added some light to the coops and I'm now getting 9-12 eggs a day. Not perfect, but a major improvement! Genie

Hi, Just wondering if anyone else is "nutty" enough to get dressed up for Halloween and go to a costume party/ball? My daughter and I have been going for the past three years and this will be the fourth time we dress up! My husband isn't into this but he doesn't mind us going out. In fact...

Hi, I love eggs but don't eat them often because by the time I get done fixing them for everyone else, it's gotten so late that I just don't bother--just too much trouble to cook another breakfast. But, sometimes, I'll eat them for another meal. When I do eat them, I like them sunny side up...

Hi, I noticed some posters have problems getting their bread to rise and I thought I would tell you what I do. This may not work for everyone depending on how your kitchen is set up but I can do it and it works great for me. For the first rise, I put the bowl of dough in the oven, like most...

I am new to baking with yeast so that's what I've been working on. Yesterday I made a pizza and it tasted really good (used mozzarella, reggiano parmigiano, and asiago cheeses) but I have to work on getting a crispier (is that a word? ) crust. I ordered a baking stone, so I'm hoping that...

Hi, Well, I did it now! I ordered and received the Super Peel to transfer my breads to the baking stone that I also ordered, but didn't receive yet. Since I don't have everything I need, I haven't tried it yet. I was busy today (baking Gump bread ) so I looked at the instructions VERY...

Quote: I have made this bread several times and it turns out great. Then, I too, tried the cinnamon rolls and got the same results as you. Stuck to the pan in carmelized sugar, light brown, hard rolls. I'll be watching for an answer but wanted to let you know you're not alone. Hi, Thank...

Hi again, I need HELP! I attempted to make the cinnamon rolls from the Gump bread and all did not turn out so well. This is what happened - the sugar melted and caramelized and went to the bottom of the pan and the buns got stuck and I had to pry them out of the pan with a spatula. Because...

Hi, OMG, this has to be the best bread I’ve ever tried. This is only the second time I have baked bread “from scratch” (been using my Zojirushi bread machine) and this is the perfect recipe for a beginner like myself! Since I am so inexperienced, I was really worried about how it would turn...

Mrs. Fluffy Puffy : Quote: I love Italian wedding soup. I didn't think anybody would know what that was! Glad to know at least one person does! I also LOVE Italian Wedding Soup! Those tiny meatballs are delectable!

Well, since it is after midnight, it was really yesterday - an everything bagel with lox and scallion cream cheese!

bigmike&nan : The fact your motor did not heat up is a good sign. I had an older style Kitchen Aid and it worked great - except when I overloaded the bowl and what was in it was stiff: ie heavy cookie dough and my cheese wafer dough... For making bread you are fine. Of course you have...

Quote: Hi, Fortunately, my mixer doesn't need and has never (yet) needed repairs. I think you're right, from what I've read, the old machines are better. I think I will try some more bread and just keep an eye on the motor, it it's not straining and doesn't get hot, I will continue. I made...

Hi, As others have said, this is difficult to narrow down! Okay, my first two: Capresso drip coffeemaker (previously had 3 Cuisinart coffeemakers, which either got returned or finally went in the trash, even though they were still working - not at all happy with them but the Capresso is...

Hi, I use the method described in this thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=115799 and it works like a dream! I wouldn't do it any other way. Good luck! Genie
