I don't know how to feel anymore.
I just want to go numb forever.
I don't wanna feel a thing.
I just wanna slip into a never ending sleep.
I never want to wake from this
feeling of Euphoria
That allows me to feel
Nothing at all,
Until I hit that wall
That shakes me awake.
And makes me Face

The Four Kitsunes and the Shikon no Tama1 Reviews
rated PG-13 for Inu yasha's language and such...basically the story takes place like any other Inu adventure would....during thier search for Naraku after.. (spoiler)... ....so spoilers , depending...
"Inu yasha! Watch out!" Kagome shrieked as the three headed hydra snaked around the dog hanyou's guard and lunged at him.
"Don't worry Kagome!" He said as he sliced two heads clean off the body.
"Inu yasha!" the girl shrieked yet again.
"Huh?" he landed on a tree, his shirt had been torn off, baring the two rather large gashes on his chest the demon had made. He turned towards his friends that were on the shore of the great, white rapid river they had come to rest by. While he was staring, to make sure they were all safe he noticed that Kagome was staring beyond him, and pointing. The third and final head of the hydra came at him with such blinding speed he didn't have time to defend himself from the jaws that closed over his entire side.
"Damnit!" he gasped as he was rushed into the side of the cliff wall. The demon's head was starting to chew, working the poison saliva into his flesh. The dog hanyou gritted his teeth as he swung his great sword at the hydra's head. He let out a small sigh of relief as the head and body released its hold on him, falling into the rushing waters below.
"Inu yasha!!" Kagome kept calling his name praying that it would give him the will to keep holding on as she ran towards the cliff. He looked so helpless just dangling there, barely gripping the edge of the cliff, his whole side full of blood while still never releasing his grasp on his precious sword.
"How did this happen to him?!...maybe if I had used my arrows more carefully I could've..." She continued scolding herself all the while trying to reach him in time.
"Kagome..." Inu yasha groaned. He could feel his strength fading fast, the stupid hydra's saliva, claws, and teeth were poison AND razor-sharp. The saliva was what caught him off guard.
He chuckled slightly to himself remembering how he so carelessly thought that he could kill it with a single blow, only to have it backfire on him by the hydra almost biting his arm off....it had barely nicked him but the poison spread rapidly rendering his right arm temporarily numb. He was getting too cocky these days. He managed to turn his head just enough to look at the rest of his friends on the shore. Shippou was running around frantic and crying, Sango had Miroku's head in her lap, and running her fingers through his hair, trying to sooth the monk, Miroku had been stabbed by one of the hydra's claws in his right shoulder trying to help Inu yasha when he fell to the ground holding his numb arm. He had also been scratched badly on his chest and was bleeding profusely. He was obviously in too much pain from blood loss and poison to be lecherous to Sango. Then he saw Kagome...she was crying again, while running up the cliff towards him.
"Don't worry Kagome...I'll be alright..."He breathed the words in such a low tone the she couldn't hear him, as his blood loss and his poisoned state was already getting to him. Moment later the Tetsuiga diminished in size until it was it's normal useless self. The earth to which he was holding onto crumbled. As he fell into the white rapids below his mind fell into welcomed numbness as he blacked out...
It had been hard to get away from her two older brothers. They were always asking her where she was going and when she'd be back. Finally she got away by saying she was going for a bath (even thought she knew she didn't need one yet). She twirled a piece of her long raven black hair between her fingertips.
"It feels good to get away from those two for awhile..." she sighed silently giggling to herself. She stopped walking, sat down on a rock and admired her surroundings....suddenly she had the urge to fuss over her appearance. First she pulled up her mesh t-shirt she had on under her white tank top, the mesh shirt was a gift from her brother which went up to the middle of her neck...kind of like a turtle neck...She carefully tightened her red sash that she always wore...While she was tightening it she remembered who gave it to turn...Before she reduced herself to tears she quickly moved on to something else. She pulled at her black leather gloves making sure they were comfortable; she pulled up and dusted her baggy blue-ish grey pants. She tied her boots over again before turning to taking out plants and twigs that had caught in her hair and Black, silver-tipped fox tail.
After she was done she noticed a pungent smell in the air...Her slightly bigger than normal, black, fox ears perked up on the side of her head where human ears would've been. She thought she faintly heard someone groan in pain...by the river. Her tail twitched in uncertainty...There! She knew she smelt blood, and there was lots of it. She paused for a moment unsure what to do...
"What if it's a demon stronger than me?!....and what if it's hungry?" She thought to herself. After a few minutes contemplating what to do, she made a dash towards the river.
"I swear my curiosity will kill me one day..." she thought as she ran towards the smell.
Well that's the end of chapter one! hope you like it.....oh yeah any comments on his story, then please comment 8D. oh yes i was getting requests from some of my actual friends for it to turn yaoi....welll its up to the demand on here...oh yes and the pairings too are up to you guys... okay well I'll get the other chapter up and going SOON!
And if it's too short please ask for longer chapters...

The only way Calia is going to play a factor in the future rulership of Lordaeron is if she happens to have succumbed to the scourge and is now, secretly, among the ranks of the Forsaken. And it's pretty clear that's not going to happen either, although it would make an interesting storyline for Sylvanas to have to content with that for an expansion. But she'd win out in the end. Blizzard is far too fond of her.
Also, http://www.wowhead.com/quest=27098 makes the notion that Blizzard is setting Sylvanas up to be a future raid boss patently absurd. It's quite clear they want her to be seen as someone essentially good at heart. She's only arguably evil at all in the "end justifies the means" sense. And "deepening madness"? She's not mad to begin with, just frighteningly ruthless.

Show Review: Alex Koll CD Release Party
Alex Koll is a long time staple of San Francisco Bay Area comedy. He performed "Boomtime" with Moshe Kasher and Brent Weinbach, co-produces "The Business" at the Dark Room Theater, won multiple regional air guitar championships, directs, hosts, and headlines while cultivating amazing, abstract absurdity. Recently Koll released his debut album, "Wizard Hello" on Rooftop Comedy's label and on January 17, 2010, he threw party at the San Francisco Punchline to commemorate the milestone.
Emily Heller opened the show as well as commanded hosting duties. For the uniformed, Heller is a premier comic, Bay Area Laugh Leader finalist and resident Punchline performer. She warmed the crowd with confident self-degradation, well-placed wit, and casually cynical social commentary. She also started the night's theme of discussing the San Francisco Giants by screaming expletives at the state of Texas. Heller created a soothing, sarcastic rhythm as she dissected bumper stickers and feminism recruiting folly all before a crescendo of comedy and compliments to Mr. Alex Koll.
Next performer: DJ Real. DJ Real is an intricate performance artist who blends props, acoustic musicianship, flashy dance moves and boombox background singers. The set included a number of songs off Real's latest release, Personal Growth, as well as classics from his back catalog. Combating technical issues and performance gaffes (one of his fairies went rogue), DJ Real remained poised and endearing with his winning whimsy and careful corniness. The curly-haired virtuoso left the stage without his shoes but not before leaving an impression.
After a brief Heller-lude a bombastic baby faced man bounded the boards. Sean Keane brought the show's second helping of stand-up comedy, a steaming dish of embarrassing stories and regional humor. Keane poked fun at adult and adolescent awkwardness in a fun, relatable manner. He also broke down the Giants in relationship to the City's neighborhoods and took jabs at Oakland's sports fans. The West Bay crowd was very receptive to Keane's metered, polished, gabbing. The Raider fans shook their heads forlornly as they chuckled.
Bobby Joe Ebola and the Children MacNuggits proceeded to the penultimate performance position. The subversive, indie-folkish, duo of Dan Abbott and Corbett Radford, acoustically peddled catchy, Zappaesque, tunes dripping in irony. Most of the group's songs boasted a dark subject manner, juxtaposed with jovial chords and cheerful harmonies. In the middle of their set Radford expressed sincere commendations to his long time friend, Alex Koll and his career accomplishments. Then, immediately thereafter, the band sprung into a rousing melodious tale of going postal at work. Both gestures were extremely heartfelt.
The man of the hour closed the show to conclude the night's festivities. Alex Koll began with gratitude, thanking the audience before addressing the absence of his previously characteristic beard. The comedian's routine not only reflected his physical change but also a stylistic shift as he performed new material excluded from his album. "Wizard Hello" is rife with surreal set ups and side swiping punchlines. This performance featured anecdotal material of Koll's hell gigs, previous day jobs, and his Jewish ancestry. The bridge between the two Alex's is Koll's skilled wordplay and heavily detailed delivery. The show concluded with a hilarious tale of a baseball game in relation to a chubby childhood and insane summer crickets.
The term "release party" was a bit of a misnomer. There was no cake, few cone hats and absolutely no piñata. "Party" translated that night to an oddball, innovative, nerdy variety show featuring harmonious artists, best friends, and brilliant minds all residing in the house of Alex Koll.
Update: I should have wrote "… brilliant minds all residing in the Alex Kollection".
Occasionally The Business will blog. Not often though. Hopefully this post will create more posts in the future. Probably not but it's still a good resource on the guys and the project. Just remember to look at the date or you'll psyche yourself out.
The Business w/ Nato Green @ Dark Room Theater (12/1/2010)
Tonight. 2263 Mission St. San Francisco. 8 PM. $5.
The Business is happy to welcome back our regular guest star - and unofficial Fifth Businessman - Nato Green, SF Weekly's Best Comedian of 2010. He's an SF native, a political satirist, a Huffington Post blogger, a father of twins, and the creator of the popular shows "Iron Comic," "Laughter Against the Machine," and "Laughing Liberally 415." We're happy that we were able to collectively bargain for his appearance this week.
Mr. Green is gearing up for an exciting month of shows, including a New Mexico performance with Marc Maron (and Businessman Alex Koll) and a series of New Year's Eve shows at the SF Punch Line with Greg Proops. Nato's getting in all these amazing shows before 2010 ends, and his turns back into a pumpkin. An organic, locally-grown pumpkin, which will later be slow-roasted and combined with a selection of artisan cheeses. Because while Nato is the top comic for 2010 only, he will be SF's Biggest Foodie indefinitely.
We've also got the rest of your favorite Businessmen - Alex Koll, Bucky Sinister, Chris Garcia, and Sean Keane - helping you kick off a December full of treats. Since all of our fans are on the Nice List, admission is just five bucks. 8 PM, Wednesday, Dark Room.

Nato Green with envy to anybody who goes to this show. I'll be there, Madrone, and everywhere.

Eddie Edwards
Real Name
Eddie Edwards
Date of Birth
December 30, 1983
Place of Birth
Some further details are being revealed about the incident that caused WWE to release Alberto Del Rio. According to reports, the former world heavyweight champion is claiming that an employee that works in the information technology department said something racist to him. He did not deny slapping the person, so we can be sure that actually took place now.
August 8, 2014
A little stir was created earlier this week on WWE.com, as the website teased a dream match between Sting and Undertaker, which is something that fans have been clamoring to see for the last several years. Unfortunately, though, nothing is in the works at the moment, as this was simply something concocted by the technology department to increase traffic.
April 26, 2014
When the company gave away free trials of the WWE Network, there were a lot of concerns because of the amount of technical issues that were being reported. Vince McMahon put an emphasis on resolving those issues before Wrestlemania 30. Considering how smooth things went this past weekend, the CEO has to be quite pleased with the efforts of the technology side of the company.
April 7, 2014
During Wrestlemania 30, WWE gave the fans a taste of what was to come the following year. The teaser video for Wrestlemania 31 revealed something that most fans already knew. The event is going to be held at the brand new Levi's Stadium in San Francisco. Vince McMahon is touting that the event is being held in Silicon Valley because he wants WWE to be featured as a technology driven company.
April 7, 2014
As expected, there were several people who had issues with signing up for the WWE Network earlier today. An official statement about the matter was released. Vince McMahon was informed ahead of time that something like this was very likely to happen, as technology is an unstable beast. A lot of the issues have been resolved, but some are still having problems.
February 24, 2014
From the way things have been looking as of late, it appears that Chavo Guerrero is taking a little break from the professional wrestling industry. The former WWE and TNA star has been working on various business deals, some of which are in the technology field.
February 6, 2014
In a move that seems almost too petty to believe, it has now been confirmed that the official WWE account on Twitter is no longer following CM Punk after he walked out before Monday Night Raw this week. The decision could have been made by someone in the marketing or technology department as opposed to Vince McMahon or Triple H.
January 29, 2014
WWE has been pushing the wrestlers to use Twitter more often, especially on weekends, in order to get the fans talking more about the performers and company. The belief is that management has noticed how much of a buzz Ryback has been able to create through the social media website.
January 19, 2014
During a recent interview, Stephanie McMahon touted the WWE app by revealing that it has been downloaded more than eight million times.
October 31, 2013
Citing a desire to spend more time with his family and focus more on his technology company, Tyler Reks asked WWE to release him from his contract, and the company granted that request. The move comes a week after he and tag team partner Curt Hawkins debuted a new stripper gimmick on Smackdown.
August 21, 2012
Could Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards be gone from TNA as quickly as they came in? That's the speculation going around right now, as it has been revealed that the contract for the Wolves expire at the end of this year. Management does have the option of extending the deal for another year, but a lot of people are skeptical since the company has been letting a lot of people walk over the last couple of months.
August 28, 2014
While working a tag team match with Eddie Edwards at a TNA live event in Pennsylvania, Davey Richards suffered a serious leg injury. Upon being rushed to the hospital, it was discovered that he has a broken fibula. Richards is expected to be out of action for approximately 6 weeks, which means that TNA will need to figure out what they want to do with the tag team titles.
August 16, 2014
Wrestle-1 ran a live event this week, and a couple of TNA stars were on hand for the show. Rockstar Spud, Ethan Carter, Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards were all sent to Japan by Dixie Carter to participate. Great Muta even teamed up with Spud and Carter in a match. The belief is that we will be seeing more talent exchange situations between the two companies for the foreseeable future.
July 7, 2014
Fans have dream matches that they want to see. Professional wrestlers, though, have dream matches that they want to work. Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards are big fans of Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy, and word going around the locker room is that the TNA World Tag Team Champions were honored to be in the same ring as a tag team that they looked up to.
June 27, 2014
As of right now, TNA has not announced the opponents for Ross Von Erich and Marshall Von Erich, the sons of Texas legend Kevin Von Erich, at Slammiversary 2014. Some rumors are floating around that they might be paired up with excellent ring workers in Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards, but others believe that they will be working against a heel tandem in order to generate a good reaction in front of their hometown fans in Dallas.
June 7, 2014
"I always found it funny when I heard reports that I was one of the higher paid guys on the roster. I'd look at my paycheck and I never thought I was one of the higher paid guys. Essentially my contract was one of those where you only made a lot of money if you worked a lot, and I certainly wasn't working as much near the end of my contract as I was a year ago. I don't think that financial reasons were the reason I wasn't renewed. I don't know if they thought our act was tired or they wanted to go in a different direction. I'm not sure why that's the case, especially when I felt like there was a simple and great program in the works between us and Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards, but apparently the guys on the creative team didn't have the same desire to see that program take place." - Christopher Daniels discusses his contract situation with TNA
May 8, 2014
Despite being against the odds in a 3-on-2 handicap no disqualification match at TNA Sacrifice 2014, Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards were able to walk away from the pay per view as the new world tag team champions by beating Zema Ion, Robbie E and Jessie Godderz.
April 27, 2014
Life has been on the upswing as of late for Eddie Edwards. Aside from the American Wolves being picked up by TNA and being featured routinely on Impact Wrestling each week, things are going rather well for Edwards in his personal life as well. He has revealed that he is now engaged to Alexxis Nevaeh, an independent wrestler. The two are doing a wedding next April.
April 24, 2014
A message from Davey Richards on Twitter, where he asks MVP to give he and Eddie Edwards a match against Zema Ion, Robbie E and Jessie Godderz at TNA Sacrifice 2014.
April 17, 2014
Even though he already has a hold of the X Division Championship, Seiya Sanada has his eyes on another belt in TNA, as the Japanese star will be teaming up with another newcomer, Tigre Uno, in a triple threat tag team match for the tag titles. Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards will be the defending champions, while Robbie E and Jessie Godderz will attempt to reclaim the belts they once held.
March 14, 2014
Late last month, Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards captured the TNA tag titles at a live event from the BroMans. At the Wrestle-1 Outbreak pay per view, Jessie Godderz and Robbie E recaptured the championships. Great Muta really wanted a title change to take place at his show, so Dixie Carter and her company complied with those wishes.
March 2, 2014
Over the weekend, Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards captured their first championship in TNA, as the duo was able to wrest the tag team titles away from Jessie Godderz and Robbie E at a house show. The move had been expected since Dixie Carter wants to send Edwards and Richards to Japan to work for the Great Muta on his Wrestle-1 Outbreak pay per view.
February 24, 2014
While management has been impressed with Davey Richards as well, it appears that TNA is especially high on Eddie Edwards. The feeling backstage is that he can eventually become a breakout star down the line. Edwards was the one that ROH management was hoping would stick around instead of jumping ship.
February 20, 2014
One of the biggest reasons why TNA is pushing the American Wolves on Impact Wrestling is to send a message to people in WWE. A lot of them, especially William Regal, were said to be upset that the two were not given contract offers. By pushing Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards, Dixie Carter can let performers know that her company could be a viable place of employment for others.
February 16, 2014
It has been heavily rumored that Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards are going to be given a run with the TNA tag titles very soon, and it looks like TNA could be preparing for that, as the American Wolves are working with Jessie Godderz and Robbie E at live events in Texas over the weekend.
February 16, 2014
After driving through a menacing snow storm and working live events in Michigan and Illinois this weekend, several of the TNA performers, including Brutus Magnus, Robbie E, Ethan Carter and Eddie Edwards took a trip to visit former Knockout Tara at her restaurant, The Squared Circle, in Chicago. A couple of pictures have been posted on Twitter.
February 9, 2014
There were initially plans to have Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards winning the TNA tag team championship while the company was on their European tour, but management opted to hold off on that, as they felt that it might be too soon for the fans to accept hem as title holders. They should still be in line for the belts in the coming months.
February 9, 2014
While officials ultimately decided that they were not good enough for WWE, William Regal, who has become a top recruiter within the organization, was said to be heavily pushing for the signing of Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards. Obviously, he was quite disappointed when the two of them ended up on Impact Wrestling instead.
February 8, 2014
It looks like the talks about Low Ki staying retired were a bit premature, as it has now been revealed that the former WWE star is heading down to Australia this weekend to work a show, where he fill in for Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards, who had to pull out when they signed with TNA.
February 6, 2014
Bully Ray, who has been gaining power backstage lately, is said to be a huge fan of Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards, as the former world champion has been pushing management to utilize the former ROH stars immediately in an upper tier program.

José Valim and Aaron Patterson at RailsConf 2011 by @j3z_hh
This year me and José Valim had the pleasure of going to Baltimore, in the US, to one of the biggest Rails events of the world! RailsConf is definitely the best place to have the opportunity of meeting and talking to a lot of great Rubyists and Railers, and also attending their talks.
Not only that, we also participated (though briefly) in BohConf, the official RailsConf unconference, which was great and very well organized! The talks covered a myriad of topics, guided the exploration on some technologies and counted with the presence of the Ruby Mendicant University students. José Valim presented a tutorial on his own Elixir, showing how to build a chat server using some cool stuff that both Elixir and Erlang provide. The code used on the tutorial is available on Valim's GitHub.
Also, José Valim presented a talk on the ongoing Rails refactoring, guiding through the SOLID Principles and the changes in rails' own code. You can get the slides at his RailsConf page. While you're at it, please rate and give your feedback if you watched it live!
In this edition of RailsConf, DHH presented the "assets revolution" part of Rails 3.1 and why CoffeeScript was adopted. It doesn't matter if you're into CoffeeScript or not, Rails now has amazing internals to deal with assets, raising them as "first-class citizens". You can have this on the latest Release Candidate that was released last week. The keynote is available on Youtube.
Regarding Keynotes, RailsConf 2011 had amazing ones. I strongly recommend you to watch Eric Reies' Lessons Learned, regarding delivering products and learning from your mistakes, from his upcoming book with the same title.
Tenderlove (or sometimes known as Aaron Patterson) presented a very good talk about database query caching and proposed a future Rails refactoring to restructure the rack middleware stack in order to make it better and faster. A must watch talk! Check it on Youtube: Aaron Patterson's Double Dream Hands: So Intense! (fast forward to minute 40 or so for a surprise)!
The talks themselves were good, in general. Highlights, in my opinion, are:
- Aman Gupta's Rails Performance Tools was the first time I saw Aman Gupta's presentation live. Even though he got his slides from other conferences, I have to say I was very impressed. He really knows what he is talking about and the examples were very applicable to everyday's work. You definitely should check it out.
- Jim Weirich and Matt Yoho's Securing your rails application began slowly, showing easy-to-avoid security issues, but it picked up nicely, showing live examples on how to replicate the security issues described, very cool!
- Joe Ferris' Testing the Impossible was a very good talk. At PlataformaTec we always discuss the best ways to test code and it was very nice to see someone else's effort on the subject, I was able to confirm some ideas and learn new ones!
- Yehuda Katz' Building Rails Apps For the Rick Client explained why Rails is much more than simple view helpers and then moved on to discuss API implementations. The proposed bulk api was particularly interesting and is a good example of a private protocol between the client (SproutCore) and server side (Rails) for advanced transactions and performance!
All in all, it was a great RailsConf! I had a blast, meeting people and having drinks at the parties was also one of the best parts of the conference! And what about you? What is your opinion about RailsConf, did you like it? Which were your favorite talks?
See you in 2012!

2010 – A year in reviewBy Vinicius Baggio
This year is coming to an end and it was amazing for us at Plataforma Tecnologia. We are proud to share with you, faithful reader, our accomplishments in 2010, which weren't few.
Open Source
The year has begun on fire. In February, José Valim made his way into the Rails Core team and has been doing a great work since then, including many contributions to the Rails 3 release.
We are also really proud with Devise. It got very mature, achieving the 1.0 version this February. Since then, Devise is becoming one of the best solutions for authentication in Rails and also one of the most watched repositories on GitHub.
In August, Devise 1.1 was released with Rails 3 support and a bunch of cool features. Recently, a lot of work is being done towards the 1.2 version, which includes full support to the awesome OmniAuth gem.
We also released SimpleForm this year. SimpleForm is our take on building forms in a simplified way lead by Carlos Antônio who recently did a great work on HTML 5 support.
Other gems were released, such as ShowFor, which is a DSL to simplify how you show your objects in views and also Responders, a collection of Rails 3 responders.
Eariler this month, José Valim's book entitled Crafting Rails Applications has been released by the highly acclaimed publisher Pragmatic Bookstore! The book covers internal aspects of Rails 3 and how you can bend it to your will. The reviews and buzz has been great so far, even though still in beta. Grab your copy now!
This year was also very productive in terms of events. We've been to a lot of events, heck, George was even able to go to RailsConf, in Baltimore! Also, José Valim has spoken in various events, including Euruko 2010 (includes video), RubyConf Brazil 2010 (talk in portuguese) and OxenteRails 2010.
Carlos, Hugo and George did their share as well, speaking at various events, from smaller and user-group events to bigger ones such as OxenteRails, RS on Rails and QCon SP.
The company itself is getting more mature and increasing. At January 2010, PlataformaTec was composed of 6 people, and up until December 2010, 5 other people joined the company (including myself)! We also have started playing with iOS development, something we believe to have a great future, expect future blog posts on the subject.
Great 2011!
Have a great New Year! We wish you all the best for year to come. We have high expectations for 2011, so stay tuned!

Apple cider season, what are some of your interesting uses
My daughter and I just made a batch of apple cider caramels that came out so nice and chewy. Excellent use of apple cider! http://www.imbibemagazine.com/Apple-C...
What creative ways do you use apple cider? Cocktails, baked goods, sauces?
Apple cider pound cake, bread and muffins, custard, pork loin chops, apple cider honey roasted lamb .... .............
re: HillJ
J, perhaps one of these would be a good jumping-off point for the custard?
re: goodhealthgourmet
Hey there ghg! I've missed you! And, leave it to our favorite search junkie to land a few target recipes over here-THANKS! I can't say I've ever had cider custard before. You? Any particular recipe wow you from the link-list?
Today I had an apple cider slushy at the marketplace and officially kicked off fall with Macoun apples and cider in my cart!
re: HillJ
aw, thanks - i've missed you too! my Hounding has ben pretty limited lately.
i personally haven't had cider custard either, but as far as those links, i think i'd go with the Serious Eats recipe...maybe playing w/the spicing a bit. i like that it doesn't call for as much sugar as the others. the F&W recipe is more of a cream pie, but it sounds divine!
i'm glad you're enjoying the season's apple bounty. i can't really think about fall comfort food yet with temps in the 90's here!! we had a whopping 2 days of cool, rainy weather before the mercury shot back up.
re: goodhealthgourmet
You should see be shuttling btwn the warmth of CA and the early fog of NJ week to week. Sometimes I wind up with the wrong suitcase in tow! But Fall on the eastcoast is not to be missed....hence the urge to squeeze in as much fall food love as possible.
I'm going to have to give this cider custard a look see. The pumpkin custard is going fast and furious around here (MS's recipe) and Indian pudding is on the simmer right now. But those apple cider caramels are to die for!
re: goodhealthgourmet
Yaaaaaaaaaaay! She's back!!
re: mamachef
yes, yay!
re: magiesmom
i love you ladies :) now if i could just find my lost cooking mojo, i'd really rejoin the CH fray. i can't remember the last time i prepared a proper meal. it would help if it wasn't so HOT here - makes me not want to turn on the stove or the oven!
@J, those caramels sound positively crave-worthy, and Indian pudding & pumpkin custard are two of my favorite Fall foods!
re: goodhealthgourmet
ghg, every time I make a batch of your black bean dip I smile ;0) the perfect cooler for a hot day!
lots of experimenting to do yet but fall is my favorite time of year. the sheer # of new pumpkin-y products on the market blows my mind. Just saw
Thomas' pumpkin English muffins this morning on the shelf.
and, OT, yesterday I bought my first retail pint of Mr. Green Tea Ice Cream in fresh ginger for $4.99 after waiting what seemed like a century for the label to be sold direct to the public. WF & Dearborn Farms carry it near me. Also comes in green tea, red bean, coconut, pistachio, mango and strawberry. Quality.
re: HillJ
you're killing me with the ice cream - i'm off dairy these days. i could do without the strawberry & mango, but i'd gladly snarf a serving or two of the others. have some for me!!
i haven't made my black bean dip in ages - maybe i'll whip up a batch today. guess i should go out & get some fresh cilantro...
re: goodhealthgourmet
It's going to be warm in NJ today...so I'm thinking a batch of finger foods and dips is a great way to kick off the evening.
you're off dairy? holy 'cow' no Greek yogurt? wow...ghg...that's gotta be difficult to decide!
re: HillJ
well, i've worked my way back to a splash of organic half & half in my a.m. coffee, and a bite of cheese on occasion, but that's it. as much as it pained me to give up my beloved cottage cheese & Greek yogurt, my system really wasn't handling that stuff well anymore :( i'm hoping it's not a permanent change, but for now i'm steering clear.
"warm" would be nice - we're roasting here again...back up to 100 on Wednesday.
BTW, if you have access to decent ripe avocados, guac is a terrific complement to the bean dip :)
re: goodhealthgourmet
I wound up going in a hummus direction last night but next weekend I'm going to assemble a fish taco vs sushi roll bar and include the black bean dip & gauc (which I made on the thin side, more like a drizzle bottle thickness) on the serving table.
It pained me to give up raw mushrooms (I even grew a few from a coffee grind sack) for the same reason.
Right now I'm making a cider scone recipe for the morning. I'm thinking a cider glaze with a walnut crumble on top.
re: goodhealthgourmet
Hmm, I like the idea of a spiced pecan
re: LindaWhit
Oh yes, I'm keeping a new pumpkin products log just for giggles...it's mind boggling how many new ones come out each year! They tasted "interesting" with the little bits of pumpkin kinda bothering my texture issue...but my dh enjoyed them with pumpkin butter.
re: LindaWhit
Linda, I'll be curious to hear what you think of them.
also avail in bagels...where I think the cream cheese would work out beautifully.
re: kattyeyes
;) an addiction to be sure!
re: HillJ
Over @ CHOW Supertaster is trying out some less than yummy pumpkin spice products...didn't even scratch the surface...but his sentiments about what we all said....too much of a band wagon jump.
re: LindaWhit
My local bagel shop has pumpkin coffee. Actually when I was at Trader Joes I was starting to think that the pumpkin craze has jumped the shark, so to speak.
re: coll
Yeah, I'm going to have to agree with HillJ on this - pumpkin coffee (at least here in New England) has been a pretty regular thing for awhile at Dunkin Donuts every autumn. Now it's the K-cups, lots of pumpkin sauces on restaurant meals, etc. But I guess it's no different than Springtime when asparagus or fiddleheads come into their very short local season. But thankfully, we don't see asparagus or fiddlehead coffee, bagels, etc. :-)
re: LindaWhit
Asparagus bagels, lordy...that visual just made me gag........rofl!
A pumpkin curry hummus is in my frig....what to use it with/on?
re: LindaWhit
I'm a major pumpkin lover, so guess it took awhile for me to think it was all too much.
re: LindaWhit
Right?! And the broadcasters testing the PRINGLES new "fall" flavors on camera couldn't hide their disdain...band-wagon jumping is never a good idea.
re: HillJ
Wait, it gets worse. I thought you were joking! Sadly, no. White chocolate peppermint and cinnamon & sugar? What were they smoking?! VILE. Simply vile.
ETA: "Pumpkin Pie Spice, which is available only at Walmart"...AH HA HA HA!
re: kattyeyes
No joke! On morning news the broadcasters taste tested all of the new fall flavors and then had to rate them....hard to watch. lol...
re: kattyeyes
And while it's straying from the original theme of the thread, in case anyone wanted to know what Pringles actually are:
re: LindaWhit
Don't look at me--Munchos are my favorite potato chip-like snack. :)
re: LindaWhit
It just gets better and better. In the comment section..."At least Pringles are still "considered" a food...wow.
re: LindaWhit
And even MORE pumpkin insanity? I just got my latest Trader Joe's Fearless Flyer. The pumpkin items listed:
Pumpkin Bread Mix
Pumpkin Ice Cream
Honey-Roasted Pumpkin Ravioli
Pumpkin Cream Cheese
Pumpkin Spice Granola
Nonfat Greek Yogurt flavored with Pumpkin
Pumpkin Spice Rooibos Tea
Pumpkin Macarons
Organic Canned Pumpkin
Pumpkin Butter
Pumpkin Soup
Pumpkin Pancake & Waffle Mix
Pumpkin Spice Chai
Pumpkin Chocolate Mousse Cake
Pumpkin Pie Spice
Pumpkin Cheesecake
Pumpkin Spice Cake
Pumpkin on a Stick (decorative use)
Pumpkin-Flavored Dog Treats
This Pumpkin Walks Into a Bar cereal bar
and finally, regular jacko-lantern pumpkins
That is 21 items that are pumpkin-related. Oy freakin' vey. Canned pumpkin, jack-o-lanterns, and the pumpkin pie spice are about the only items I'd say are regular. :-)
re: LindaWhit
I think the young ladies in front of me at TJ's last weekend must have had at least one of everything on that list, and multiples of some. They kept jumping out of line when they discovered something else with pumpkin in it. "Pumpkin!"
re: LindaWhit
The Aldi's stores have 27 products with some form of pumpkin.
The pumpkin-sage ravioli from Costco were awful.
re: HillJ
Not as much as the pumpkin coffee I get at 7Eleven and similar places. Then again I'm still not in love with the whole keurig concept yet, it was a surprise gift and I'm trying to enjoy it but sort of miss my old Mr Coffee type machine. Everything tastes weak to me, including this flavor. I figured Green Mountain would be good, but it's just "eh".
re: coll
I actually agree. My college kid uses a Keurig for boiled water in his apartment, so we bought the K's to try out. The whole bean pumpkin spice from Green Mountain is what I'm drinking this morning and I do enjoy it. A gf mentioned the 7-11 Pumpkin to me this week and she's loving their blend. I wonder what blend it is.
re: LindaWhit
I just want to say for the record that I predict curry will become the next pumpkin spice....while stumbling so easily upon the latest list of pumpkin spice infused products (my list topples 100) this season, I've noticed an interesting number of curry-spiced products also appearing on the shelves....
re: kubasd
everythings coming up pumpkin!
Tonight I had a pumpkin-walnut bagel, toasted with honey-walnut cream cheese @ Panera (dinner meeting)....actually not a bad entry into the pumpkin funnel of products.
re: LindaWhit
Just remembered a pumpkin product I tried recently that gets a big thumbs up. Pumpkin Spice Irish Creme, Molly brand. Didn't expect much but it's really nice.
re: coll
Hey, now! Along those lines, I've been enjoying Fulton's Harvest Pumpkin Pie Cream Liqueur. It's even nicer with a splash (!) of bourbon, said the kat with the heavy hand...
re: kattyeyes
A shot of Irish whisky for me, in keeping with the theme.
re: kattyeyes
How about a scoop of pumpkin gelato or ice cream in your coffee?
re: goodhealthgourmet
I love ghg's searches. And I miss seeing her posts as well. :-)
As for me and apple cider, I tried using some of my unpasteurized cider in a baked chicken recipe a few nights ago. It was an unfortunate use of a cup's worth of cider, as the chicken, onions, etc. that were baked didn't have an apple cidery taste at all.
So I'm going to use this thread to see how else to use it. A pumpkin-cider bread recipe resides in my MasterCook at home; that might be one way to use some of it later this week.
re: LindaWhit
aw, thanks Linda, it's nice to "see" you! :)
i'm thinking you'd have better luck with that chicken dish if you reduced the cider to a glaze and coated everything with it.
re: goodhealthgourmet
Yeah, I agree. Wish I had thought it it myself on Saturday. LOL!
re: LindaWhit
There's a cider-braised chicken parts recipe making the current rounds on either ATK or Cook's Country. They use cider and apple brandy, plus maybe diced apple, if memory serves. There was discussion about trying various things to bump up the apple flavor before settling on the brandy.
re: greygarious
That would have been my first comment if I were on that thread. A bit of Calvados is always a good add. :-)
re: goodhealthgourmet
I just looked up the James Beard recipe, which I had ignored becauseI usually find cider pies too sweet. But this modification will be our dessert tomorrow, So thanks yet again, ghg.
Apple cider season coincides with Brussels sprouts season! Brussels sprouts braised in apple cider are a favorite in our house.
re: cayjohan
cayj, how would you go about infusing the cider? right from the start of the braise or roast sprouts then braise in cider?
re: HillJ
I'm a path-of-least-resistance gal here - some methods call for precooking the sprouts, then braising, but I don't bother. Hot skillet, some oil, toss in the trimmed sprouts to spottily brown up. Add some garlic, salt, then the cider, and head toward preferred doneness. Sometimes I use less cider and less time for a lighter sweetness; other times I keep adding cider as it reduces and slowly braise to a thick-ish glaze on the sprouts. It's pretty hard to screw up, really, however you tweak it. This week I glazed them pretty heavily and served with knockwurst. Great combo. And the sprouts are good cold out of the fridge as a snack - a delicious little candied cabbage bite. I generally use a Honeycrisp cider, as I like the slight acidity with the sprouts. The only drawback is we like the dish so much that I rarely cook Brussels sprouts any other way. But as ruts go, it's not a bad rut. This time of year we get bitten by the seasonal bug pretty bad, and have this once or twice a week until the farmers' market supply of sprouts and fresh cider dries up.
re: cayjohan
I grabbed a niced stalk of sprouts from the local market and I'm going to give this a try. I have some spicy chicken sausage I'll probably grill to go with. Thank you for sharing your approach, cayj!
re: cayjohan
I just tried this after a visit to the farmer's market this morning. Delicious!
re: SarachkaInBrooklyn
Isn't it? I've been doing the same thing with chard lately, too. Stems cooked down with apple cider first, then toss in the ribboned leaves. Had it with buttermilk mashed potatoes and ham steak tonight. It was like...like...like...chunky, leafy jam, If that makes any sense? I think I'll have the leftover cider-cooked chard for breakfast tomorrow - on toast, with some fresh chèvre. If you like the sprouts+cider, play with some chèvre too...it's wonderful.
re: cayjohan
oooh, that sounds delicious, too! do you think it would work with kale in place of the chard? I have some kale sitting in the fridge, and also so fresh chevre, so it would be perfect...
re: SarachkaInBrooklyn
Yes, yes, yes...works wonderfully with kale. The reason I've been using the chard is that the dang critters at my community garden ate all my kale. In fact, I prefer the kale over the chard, if only for the sturdier texture.
re: HillJ
cayj, I hope I've done you proud....after cleaning the sprouts from the stalk, slicing in half and washing well (they were soooooooo dirty) I roasted them in the oven for a 30 mins with just oo, s&p. while preparing a cider glaze on the stovetop which consisted of equal parts apple cider & pomm molasses, orange and lemon peels and just a dash of nutmeg. Then, once removed from the oven I brushed the glaze on the sprouts and returned them to a low broil until caramelized. I like a bit of tooth to b-sprouts so these were not uber soft but later today they will be part of a salad I like room temp....b-sprouts, diced Anjour pears, and pomm seeds over greens.
re: cayjohan
A combo dressing of rice vinegar, olive oil, wee bit of mashed garlic and chards of blue cheese.
Thanks cayj. You really got me using the cider and stalk sooner than later. They came out delicious.
re: cayjohan
Oh now I'm mad. Why didn't I read this thread this weekend when I had Brussels sprouts? This would have been perfect.
re: LindaWhit
Careful...they're kind of addictive. My formerly-sprout-hating Mr. Cay begs for them and, as good as B sprouts are, I have to sometimes say no. Elsewise, we'd be eating braised Brussels sprouts at every darn meal this time of year.
I've been making apple cider doughnuts since returning from New England. Thankfully, I can give them to others, so I'm not really eating them myself.
I used a Smitten Kitchen recipe the first time, it's a cake doughnut made with cider that's reduced by half. Pretty good, for a cake doughnut.
The second go-round was a bomboloni recipe from Gena DePalma, which I've always loved. I subbed out some of the proofing water for reduced cider. These were very tender.
I am home making chocolates today and would really like to play around with an apple cider caramel filling, but alas, am out of cider.
re: rabaja
rabaja, I just bought 2 jugs of apple cider to make several batches this weekend. Our weekend guests are going to love them. Too bad trick or treaters can't enjoy homemade sweets anymore!
re: HillJ
There are no longer any young kids in this neighborhood, but when I DID have trick or treaters and gave out homemade goodies, I used ziplock baggies - on the inside of the bag, I stuck one of the scores of return address labels that come in charity fundraising mail. I pointed this out to the kids and told them to make sure their parents knew the treat was identified. Hopefully this reassured parents that the contents were safe.
re: greygarious
Interesting way to address a parents concerns...my dh would be more concerned giving out our house address to strangers :)
OTOH, so much of the trick or treating is now private parties/gatherings with the neighbors adding the caramels to our giving table will be easy.
re: rabaja
I must admit I'm not a great doughnut maker. I leave it to the pros but today when I spotted apple cider doughnuts for my hubby I thought of your post.
re: rabaja
I hope your trip East was fun, rabaja! And apple cider doughnuts are da bomb....fresh from the fryer at an apple orchard. :-D
re: LindaWhit
Our trip was wonderful, LW, thank you!
Such great weather, with just enough rain, bluster and sunshine to enjoy the fall foliage. It's getting so I never want to leave.
I'm still thinking about the ultimate cider doughnut...are they often cake doughnuts? Seems those are the most common recipes when I went searching, but I prefer the yeasted variety.
re: rabaja
I've only had cider doughnuts in the cake version, never yeasted.
re: LindaWhit
And I had pumpkin donuts at the cider mill this weekend. DELISH!
re: kattyeyes
pumpkin doughnuts?! Now those would be good with some mulled cider too!
re: rabaja
Yes, they were! :) Even better than the apple cider ones.
re: kattyeyes
What cider mill do you go to, kattyeyes?
re: kubasd
The Old Cider Mill in South Glastonbury for ol' times sake (plus I like to see the animals), but I'd like to try the little house across from Dondero, farther up the hill past Belltown, when I run out. Um, and as I was typing, I got up to pour myself a glass, shook the container AND THE PLASTIC LID POPPED RIGHT OFF (guess the cider was starting to go) and sprayed cider all over my face and glasses. So, yes, now that I stopped laughing, I will be stopping up near Dondero this weekend to give them a try.
ETA: In keeping with this thread's theme, "what are some of your interesting uses"--how about an unintended facial? ;P
re: kattyeyes
Is that where you are Kattyeyes? Some of my favorite people live there, and I love all the orchards and fresh produce around.
re: Chocolatechipkt
Oh, I do, too, but no--I'm south and across the river in Middletown. But I misspoke above: the donuts are from Belltown Orchards (my favorite), up off of Foote. They change the donuts with the seasons. My spring fave is cherry, but the pumpkin is great.
re: kattyeyes
That's about 2 seconds away from my family. I bet they go there, too. :)
re: kubasd
Maybe you remember The Old Cider Mill more by how it looks than the name. I think the Riverview Farms people (Robb's Ice Cream et al) run it now. Nothing like fall in New England!
I heat it a bit in the microwave and add spiced rum. Maybe a cinnamon stick as garnish?
re: coll
Now I almost need to run out and buy some. We made mulled cider to go with the doughnuts and it was so comforting in this dreary, grey weather.
I simmered the cider with some orange zest, cinnamon stick, and a tiny piece of star anise. It hit the spot.
I can totally see adding some rum after five today ;)
re: rabaja
Star anise is a good idea, could serve it in a clear pitcher so it's decorative as well as flavorful. Capt Morgan is especially good for this though.
re: Terrie H.
I've seen this served in bars, it's usually called Witches Tit for some reason.
re: kattyeyes
I do half and half myself. Gotta keep warm!
Never heard of Tuaca before, now I'll have to pick some up for the holidays.
re: magiesmom
Me too!
re: magiesmom
I wish I could get my hands on rabbit and goat more easily.
re: magiesmom
just made rabbit braised with a mustard-cream-cider sauce. used fresh local cider and grass-fed organic cream. swoony good.
re: hotoynoodle
This sauce would have done very well for my weekend's chicken dish. Will have to remember to try it.
re: hotoynoodle
there's something about mustard, cream and cider. Great with pork also.
Warm cider with ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and Laird's 7 1/2 year old apple brandy - a fall at the NJ Shore staple for us.
HillJ, besides mulled cider, my alltime favorite use for it is as a braising liquid for a dish I call Chicken Sebastopol: flattened chicken breasts that I stuff w/ a bread/walnut/apple/celery/onion stuffing; roll and tie them, brown them, and then add the cider when they go into the oven. I finish it by swirling in some butter. And every now and again, I use half white wine or chicken broth w/ the cider. I also like to make cider "jelly" with fresh gelatin; the little cups are very refreshing.
re: mamachef
Oh my mamac, they both sound terrific. Thanks!
One of my standard, recipe-less soups, is kielbasa/cabbage/apple. Always contains seared diced sausage, chicken broth, onion, cabbage, caraway, carrot, celery, garlic, diced apple, balsamic vinegar, and apple cider. Variables are a choice of wild rice, barley, or white beans.
I use apple cider instead of water when making whole wheat pancakes from my favorite mix, Kodiak Kakes. I have also used it in place of half the liquid with cornbread mix and some quickbread/muffin mixes that were gifts from a friend.
re: greygarious
greyg, that kielbasa dish sounds so comforting! Adding cider in place of water makes perfect, delicious sense, thanks!
re: kattyeyes
You're reading my mind (once again, kattye). We were thinking of various ways to spike the caramels just this morning. Apple jack, whiskey a go go, bourbon for sure, kahlua, dark rum, etc. and some variations on salt too...like an anise salt..or a vanilla bean salt.
I gotta get more wrappers!
re: HillJ
Question for you gals about spiking caramels - and I *love* this idea; as HillJ says, endless delicious possibilities! When are you adding the booze, in the beginning with the sugar, cream, etc. or later in the process? I've never added liquid extras to caramels but obviously your booze additions aren't tanking (wow, there's a pun there I think) the results. How much would you add for an 8x8-in pan's worth?
re: Caitlin McGrath
For the bourbon I added 1/8 cup just before pouring into the pan. It was my last addition to the mixture, while still good & hot. Quick fold to incorporate.
re: ipsedixit
I had a fabulous apple cider sorbet at a little restaurant here last year. Maybe this year I'll have to make some of my own ...
There's a recipe I adapted from the Frog Commissary Cookbook. Boil 4 cups of good cider down to 2. Add a big jar of sauerkraut (rinsed) and a couple of tablespoons of caraway seeds. Transfer to a baking dish and bake at 250-300 degrees for an hour and a half. Brown pork chops with thyme and add to the dish, burying in the kraut, adjust oven to 350, and bake an additional half hour. (Add a little more cider if the dish is drying out.) Serve with baked potatoes.
I just made the Apple Cider caramels from the King Arthur blog.
Those also are great. I just took 1st place in the candy division at our state fair with them. Smitten Kitchen is very reliable, but the KA caramels were dead easy. If you make them, please report back and tell me how they compare.
re: chazzer
I don't use corn syrup in caramels but thank you for linking the KA recipe here for those CH's who would give the recipe a try. For me it's a texture preference and the inclusion of brown sugar in the SK recipe really makes it for me.
Congrats! on your 1st place award, chazzer!
re: MrsJonesey
Ditto, I'd love to learn more about your method and sald preparation, petek.
re: MrsJonesey
<Would love to have your recipe and also, your favorite salad ingredients to use it with, if you don't mind sharing. :-)>
Don't mind sharing at all.
In a blender throw in cider reduction,s&p cider or champagne vinegar,chopped shallots or even better sweet vidalia onion,bit of honey start blending, slowly add a neutral oil(veg or grape seed) check seasoning(I like my vinaigrette a bit more acidic so...
Goes great with arugula(or spinach),crisp apple slices,walnuts,Stilton and sun-dried pear.
I use apple cider to sub for the rum in my fruitcakes. I use Alton Brown's Free Range Fruitcake recipe, and it's just delicious.
re: greygarious
greygarious, you remind me to pick up a little gelling attempt I tried a couple of years ago: Waldorf salad in gelled apple cider. I set apples, walnuts and celery in a cider gelatin; it was only *okay*, but it has potential. The biggest problem is that it lacked the tanginess I associated with Waldorf. Now I'm thinking I might add a bit of mayo to the works and see what happens...I hesitated the last time with the mayo specially because of the color problem. I seem to recall you also share a certain affection for gelatins...ever try a Waldorf?
re: cayjohan
Love Waldorf salad. Haven't had it in FOREVER. Yum!
re: kattyeyes
Go forth and experiment! I know I'm going to! The refreshment factor is big for me; Waldorf salad is refreshing, gelatins and aspics are refreshing, and apple cider is refreshing...I figure there's got to be some nexus there, right?
re: cayjohan
Exactly! Do report back if you land on something magical--and I'll do the same! :)
re: cayjohan
We had to make Waldorf salad in 7th grade home-ec class. Back then I would not eat mayo or anything with vinegar. So I never tasted it again, though now I adore sweet&sour. I think you could try either buttermilk or mayo, though if the latter you might want an additional splash of vinegar. I have no idea if acidic ingredients interfere with gelling at some point but would be cautious about that.
re: blinknoodle
blinkn, I'm going to link the recipe because I agree with you, it's a marvelous fall salad.
re: HillJ
Hillj, thank you for this delicious recipe, and for success in my first -other than fudge - foray into candy. DH and I had a fun little assembly line going...I cut the caramels but the.lines.kept.melting.together...aargh...the finished product though tasty looks decidedly amateurish but hooo boy they taste some good! I spinkled some sel de mer on top of each piece...I think I'll make them next on a nice and chilly day. In my alwayschilly kitchen ;-)
So very tasty- thanks again!
re: Byrdy
Did you think you cut the caramels too early or was the candy still too soft?
My last batch late last night included some espresso coffee and a chocolate cocoa bean on top of each piece, no wrapping-just plated. Each time I've made the recipe the set up improves (because I am still quite new at candy making myself) with practice.
Here's a simple recipe for Pork Chops with Apples and Onions that uses cider. I made it with some free-range Maine pork chops, and it was really delicious.
re: Byrdy
I have much better success preparing a pork loin (bone in or out) than I ever do chops. Thanks for the link. I adore apples & onions together. On skewers we make an apple/onion/porkloin cubed on the grill with a molasse glaze.
One of my versions is to cook down the cider infused with a broken cinnamon stick, a pierced vanilla bean, one star anise and rough cut white onion and slather that over the pork loin, foiled and roasted until done.
Yum.. I love apple cider. I made apple cider "doughnut" muffins that use apple butter and cider. Also a really simple chicken recipe from BBC good food that basically just has onion, garlic, apples, apple cider, and chicken. I usually boil some little new potatoes with it and have them together..
re: rstuart
Do you have a recipe you would share for the muffins? I did a quick web search but didn't see one with apple butter in them. TY!
re: Terrie H.
this may be it:
re: goodhealthgourmet
Oh my dh would love muffins those in the morning!
re: Terrie H.
It's an Eating Well recipe
But I can assure you that it doesn't taste "healthy"!
re: rstuart
Thank you so much. Healthy on top of delicious is a bonus!
re: Terrie H.
Perfect now there are two versions re: muffins. One with a sugar-cinnamon topping & one with a streusel topping-my dh loves apple cider muffins, doughnuts, pancakes, french toast (egg & cider dip), crepes (cider glaze)....I'll be busy this weekend!
Not food related...but if you go through every idea here and still have some left-over...cider vinegar makes a great clarifying hair rinse.
You want to dilute it, and rinse with plenty of fresh cold water. It's great to use ~before~ coloring or adding any other chemical process to the hair (don't use it after!).
re: charles_sills
Sounds scrumptious - will try this. Thanks!
You are getting some good recipes and ideas for cocktails, but this tea-totaller loves hot mulled cider, no spirits needed. Someone on another thread told me that true apple cider cannot be "pasteurized." Well, whatever that apple stuff is, all spiced up in the crock pot for a few hours, with slices of orange, with cinnamon sticks poking throught them, just floating around... its delicious this time of year, right on through the Christmas/ Hanukkah/ New Year season.
May I recommend J Crow's Mulled Cider Mix- spices that are "just right" for mulling great cider? they are a company out of New Ipswich, New Hampshire. We have enjoyed their mix for years.
website: www.jcrows.com
On the other hand, the widely-available Aspen mix has a real artificial taste to me. I avoid Aspen at all costs.
Just pulled out a frozen gallon of last year's cider to thaw, since we are pressing again in two weeks.
Last year, we made boiled cider syrup and I'll make some again tomorrow. Reduce the cider slowly until it's thick and syrupy, a gallon down to a pint or so. Excellent in lots of places, but we love it best with bourbon. Oh, man.
re: girlwonder88
I do this any time I have more cider than I care to drink - it's such a useful thing to have in the kitchen. Great in mixed drinks, splashed into seltzer, salad dressings, sauces, soups - anywhere you might want a little sweetness and acidity.
re: girlwonder88
About how long would it take to reduce a half gallon of cider to syrup, gw88? And how long would it keep? I have some cider syrup in my fridge, but it was store-bought. Would love to make some myself, it it keeps well. Is it freezable?
re: LindaWhit
Gosh, it took me an hour or so, maybe, to reduce a full gallon? Watch it closely as it gets close to being done, as it thickens up fast at the end. I think it'll keep indefinitely. You can absolutely freeze it, and I don't see any reason why you couldn't safely can it in a boiling water bath-it's high acid since it's just apple juice.
re: girlwonder88
Great, thanks gw88!
I put a little bit in with my apples for pie. Also my dog gets a teaspoon a day, it helps with a condition she has of bladder stones. The vet recommended it after her surgery.
I'm planning to make a gallon or two of LIquid Apple Pie AKA Apple Pie "Moonshine" or Apple Pie Boilo :-) It's made with cider, spices, and grain alcohol or high-proof rum or whiskey. Not considered classy in some circles but it is so tasty! LOL Also planning to make a huge batch of pumpkin butter which uses apple cider as the liquid.
I like braising pork cheeks in a mix of stock and cider with some sweet potatoes, fresh ginger, shallots, garlic, celery and whatever else I might be inspired to add.
Back on topic, I'm thinking a base cake like this could be easily enhanced by pouring the apple cider caramel over the cake instead of making chewy candies....stay tuned!
re: HillJ
235 degrees F on the caramel sauce, eh? Is THAT the magic number--right in the middle of thread and soft ball? I am dying to know the right answer as o/w, caramels tend to come out too firm. I was going to try 220 next time, but I welcome your guidance. I also never heard of putting sour cream in caramel--interesting twist.
And what, you don't wanna talk about those nasty chips anymore?! J/K! ;)
re: kattyeyes
I so enjoy your laughter, katty-e! I'm gonna give this cake a go on Thurs, see what we can do with it.
nasty chips......ha!
Speaking of caramel and apple, has anyone tried the fairly new Werther's caramels with a hit of apple? They're not half bad.
Apple cider is a superb braising liquid when making a dried fruit compote, or a seasonal mixture of fresh and dried, like peeled/cored/sliced Bosc pears, a firm variety of apple, prunes, dried apricots, and raisins or craisins. I like to add honey and Tokaji Aszu or another sauternes-type dessert wine, and use golden raisins which I add at the end, off-heat, so they don't swell too much. Once upon a time, I had access to fresh quince, which was great in this type of compote.
Not sure if this was mentioned upthread, but cider makes a wonderful cheap air freshener for your home. Heat the cider up on the stovetop with some whole allspice, some clove, and a cinnamon stick. Later add water as it slowly cooks down to keep the house smelling lovely all day.
You can drink it too if you like.
