Had never heard of that breed before, so googled them - Wow! Very majestic, beautiful dogs! I read that they are herding dogs. I wonder if they'd be good at protecting chickens? I sure wouldn't mind having one of them, but my dog Brutus probably would. Lol.

it is one of the best herding breeds and yes start them young 6 to 8 weeks the protection is ingrained natural to the breed

chickenmom...you are Debby? Gosh I wish I could MEET everyone of you and put a face to the posting. I now have Whole Wheat Honey Bread 2 Super recipes. Will try them both. Violin Player...your Simple Whole Wheat Bread was from All Recipes...I copied it from
the site...I could NOT print or I did not want to wait for all the reviews

I am baking today too...Italian One Hour Bread (in a tin). I am NOT brave enough to try on cookie sheet. That will come. Fond regards, to ALL Aria

It is a day off for Veterans day observed so of course I am baking!

This is the second time baking the king Arthur flour basic sourdough sandwich bread.

It is kneading in the kitchen aid mixer now. Can't wait until it is ready!

I also took the opportunity to clean out the starter jar. Gotta love sourdough!

What a tease...wish you could really share your bread

BTW - my new starter arrived today. So maybe I can make my own again soon

Hi Aria, sorry but no, I'm not Debby. Lol. I know what you mean, it would be nice to meet everyone beyond this thread. I'm still kind of a newbie on here myself, and don't know most people's real names.

How did your Italian bread turn out?

 

[pennyJo1960]

The coconut cream pie turned out well yesterday...I was happy the filling set up nicely and DH ate 2 pieces so this one might be a keeper. DH did say he thought a long time ago I had made a coconut pie that was baked and he liked that one best but I don't know where that recipe went to. If any of you have a baked coconut pie recipe, I'd appreciate a copy.

COCONUT CREAM PIE FILLING
3 Cups whole milk
1/2 Cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 Cup cornstarch
4 large egg yolks
2 Tab unsalted butter
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 tsp coconut extract
1 1/2 Cups sweetened flaked coconut

1. In large saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch & salt. Mix well, then slowly whisk in milk & egg yolks. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil & stir 1 minute. Remove from heat.
2. Stir in butter & extracts. Add coconut and mix thoroughly. Pour immediately into pie shell (I used a graham cracker crust).
3. Chill in the fridge at least 2 hours before serving. Garnish with whipped cream.

That recipe is similar to mine. I do mine cold with cool whip or bake it with merengue, both are delicious. I don’t use coconut extract.
