    I was looking for recipes for dinner rolls, but most recipes online don't call for any egg... I found a couple on here I might try, and noticed they have egg... So I was curious to find out what exactly the difference is. Found a good article, thought I'd share...

    Aww bummer! :( It looked so promising, too... I really don't like some of the tins; lol I tried a ghost once for Halloween and it looked more like Slimer than anything :D I like to try to put as much decoration as possible to detract from the lopsidedness sometimes; if I put piping in just the...

    Lol @appps, glad they turned out good :) Maybe some people just have more touchy buds, or maybe didn't eat enough dirt as a tot ha-ha :D An acquired taste, "earthy" ;) Ah, @DigMyChicks, just what I was waiting for, as I was too lazy to scroll back and find it :D I won't, however, be too...

    Works for me lol ;) It's really weird, the sugar beets from the field, the white ones, taste HORRIBLE fresh or really any way you try to cook them; I really don't know how they managed to make it to be the 2nd most available form of sugar :P I suppose because the red ones don't get near as...

    Sure thing! :) They're the first thing I plant in spring, and the last thing harvested in fall; actually causes problems sometimes lol. I went overboard and planted 18 rows of beets for spring, canned those, and the 18 rows for fall are mostly still in the ground lol; the chooks ate off the...

    Lol I used to get in SO much trouble with red beets from my mom's garden... I would mash them up in my play "stew", and then discovered the magic of dyeing anything white not stapled down a lovely hue of pink :D Then there's my little 6 year old, really concerned one day because her pee was...

    Lucky you! Lol I have some still in the garden, buried under 3' of snow :P otherwise, I have to go 100 miles to go to a bigger grocer that has beets; living in the boonies is a drag sometimes :( But I did go find a couple jars that I canned this summer... And so e pickles, and peaches, and...

    My favorite besides canned is slicing them thin and saute in butter; give them that nice crispy buttery crunch ;) Ugh lol, this is setting off a severe beet craving... And I think I saw lemon bars up there... This is not the thread to visit when expecting ROFL :P

    Oh ha-ha, I didn't put how many pounds of beets that takes... See what happens when we get lazy and try to cut and paste lol :P Let's see, 1 kg = 2.2 lbs, right? (Haven't had Mr coffee yet lol) 4 1/2 lbs would equal 2 quarts, roughly, so I guess about 1 kg per quart? Lol here's a pic of the...

    Usually I would say that the good thing about practice iis "its free education"... In a bakers' case, it might not be free, but usually we can eat our mistakes :D Oh... That might not be a good thing for the girlish figure if we make too many mistakes ha-ha ;)
