So just before the holiday that Dumpdiggers calls Christmas started, Tim Braithwaite (stonebottles) bought a beautiful beaver jar at a local auction sale and posted this close-up photo of the crisp embossing in the Dumpdiggers discussion forum, and of course this caused me to wonder about fruit sealers and crisp beavers in general, and how they came to be so coveted? … and what about those ‘le
This is a great dessert to prepare if you have canned alot of pears this past summer. I have 48 jars of pears sitting in the pantry waiting to be eaten and I used 3 jars for this dessert. It was very tasty and unlike most pears, this dessert did not taste grainy like pears texture can get. It was very refreshing heated up with vanilla ice cream and would make a great winter dessert to warm a
It was brass monkey weather, there was a lengthy midweek trek to Leicester and there was not much hope of points.

Leicester were on edge, their crowd expected plenty and we almost upset the party. .There was an amusing start to

Never had elk before but as I have an adventurous palate and was drooling over the deer I kept I wanted to try this semi-exotic meat. Glad I did as it was chewey and steakey but less gamey than venison and this was cooked perfectly and the juices really exploded in your mouth. I was impressed.

Remember when I gave you the recipe for a faux apple pie... tastes and looks like like apple but made with zucchini? Recipe here: Zapple Pie. With the huge amount of zucchini I had that year I made a lot of zapple pie filling and canned it. A couple weeks ago, on a cold, snowy Midwestern day I got the urge for a nice hot Apple Crisp. We only had 1 apple in the house (a Granny Smith) but I had a quart of zapple pie filling all ready to go!A quick Apple Crisp was soon baking away in the oven. 1 quart zapple pie filling1/2 c butter, melted1 c sugar1 c flour1 c oatmealMix the butter, sugar, flour and oatmeal.

Nestle’s Coffee Crisp is a bar that has a very dedicated fan base. When I first heard of it, it was though an online petition that was demanding it’s distribution back in the United States. I found it recently on the shelf at a convenience store I happened to be in, and I couldn’t help but wonder what all the hype was about.
It is described as a coffee center surrounded by light wafers and covered in milk chocolate. Sounds harmless enough, right? Unfortunately, I wasn’t ready quite for what I was about to taste.
It was greasy. Seriously, it gave me a gross feeling on my fingers on just handling the bar. I took a bite and it didn’t taste much of anything. I didn’t taste chocolate or coffee. Isn’t that supposed to be the point? I do feel obligated to say that the wafers were nice, at least. Perplexed as to why the bar lacked flavor and had such a strange texture, I turned it over to look at the ingredients list.

I am twenty-six years old. The candies I love, however, are often significantly older than I am, even older than my parents, and, in some cases (what up, Tootsie Roll?) older than my grandparents as well. I suppose it’s easy to take the classics for granted, with so many new and delicious treats pouring onto the shelves each year, but I’m embarrassed to admit that my excitement for new and limited-edition candies had actually caused me to forget how much I loved the Nestle Crunch bar.
How could I forget the greatness of the Nestle Crunch? The crisped rice and milk chocolate bar to end all crisped rice and milk chocolate bars! The A-Team to Krackel’s B-Team! The bar that Peter Venkman rewards Egon Spengler with in Ghostbusters! Oh, sweet scary Zuul, how could such a thing have happened?

Coco Crisp, Patron Saint of Stupid Names

You’re probably wondering how such a simple scheme can have such an infinitesimally small chance of failure. The idea stems from Social Differentiation Patterning Theory, or as it is more commonly known, the Coco Crisp Theory.
To understand the theory, ask yourself this: as an adult, how frequently do you encounter other adults with completely bizarre first names? Perhaps as a child, you knew someone with an unusual name, but you no longer know people like that because, simply put, they’ve all become famous. Think about it, famous athletes – Peerless Pryce, Coco Crisp, Milton Bradley, famous actors – Skeet Ulrich, Yahoo Serious, famous nobodies – Dweezil Zappa. It was impossible for these individuals to not become famous. Mor
It's no secret I absolutely loved the quick and simple Lemon Cookies I posted about recently (photo above).

On Monday we had fun picking apples at the orchard. Now we are having fun eating them!
Last night half of our apples got sliced, topped and baked as they were transformed into apple crisp. We love it so much I make it in a lasagna pan to make sure it doesn’t disappear in one sitting.
Apple crisp doesn’t last very long in our house. We eat it for dessert, as a snack. This morning we ate it for breakfast. In my mind apples + oatmeal = breakfast. I bet it is healthier than eating a bowl of Apple Jacks.
I learned how to make apple crisp from my grandmother (dad’s mom) and it is her recipe that I continue to use today. Since I use a much bigger pan I double the recipe, so keep that in mind if you try it out.

Yes, the headline reads like a narrative cartoon word balloon. But an incident involving the Mariner Moose and Red Sox fielder, Coco Crisp could have been a serious issue.The Moose was starting his routine that involved the ATV in front of the Red Sox dugout. As Crisp took the field, the Moose pulled forward and clipped the Boston outfielder on the leg. Crisp fell to the ground, but quickly regained his footing and went on his way to his position in center field. "It hit me, not flush, but it hit me," Crisp good-naturedly explained. "I didn't see it. I just heard it and I jumped back. I'm sure he didn't mean to take me out."Obviously this brings up the story of the Tennessee Titans mascot, T-Rac, and his calculated golf cart homicide attempt on Adrian McPherson, then-Quarterback of the New Orleans Saints. The ex-Saint actually filed a lawsuit seeking $15 million in punitive damages. The criminally insane mascot pictured here attempting to abduct a young fan. RIGHT in front of the pa

I admit that my home canned pickles (dill) get soft and it drives me crazy. I've used recipes completely from scratch, I've used dill pickle mixes. I've used 3 different kinds of cucumbers. Nada. The odd thing was that one season I had 2 quarts stay semi-crisp but the rest got soft. Now that was confusing!

Quentin Crisp does make great soundbite. But of course he was more than that. The word legacy is the first that springs to mind. Gorgeous old puff are another three. And according to Grand Dame himself, he was "born reluctantly on Christmas day in 1908", to his "dismay" he found himself to be "the son of a middle-class middle-brow, middling parents who lived in Sutton".Near the end of his life, he was still as dryly self deprecating by describing himself on income tax forms as a "retired waif".
Well, you could use it as a ringtone, or you could just play it for a quick cheer up on a Monday evening. (By the way, the pic on the right is of Mr Crisp).Quentin Crisp (download)
I am a vector geek. When it comes to printing, vector graphics are the best. Nothing looks better to me than crisp clean printed type. As a vector geek, one of my pet peeves is type set in Photoshop.
When type is set in Photoshop, more often than not, the files that get sent to the printer are flattened (no layers) 300dpi TIFF files. This is absolutely perfect for images, but for text?
The thing is, when you set a line of type in Illustrator or InDesign and it gets output to any device- office printer, inkjet, platemaker etc. vector data (text) is output at the highest resolution possible by the imaging device. This means that for most office laser printers, your text is 600dpi. In the printing world, you text is being output anywhere from 1600dpi-3600dpi! These nice sharp solids are now being output at only 300dpi; in the case of most printing companies, that is about 1/3 of the standard resolution!
The worst part is that when Photoshop rasterizes type, it is no longer solid! Look at
We’ve been fans of Ina Garten since we first saw her show, Barefoot Contessa, on the food network. Her recipes are simple to follow and emphasize flavor. The way I see it, if you are worried about calories, eat a smaller portion or make it less often. This apple crisp recipe is based on Ina Garten’s “Old Fashioned Apple Crisp” recipe from her book, Barefoot Contessa Parties! The first time my wife made this we knew we would be making it again and again. What sets this apple crisp apart from your average apple crisp is the presence of orange zest and nutmeg.
A lot of apple crisp recipes have nutmeg, but usually only a fraction of a teaspoon. An entire teaspoon would be overpowering were it not for the added zests and juice of orange and lemon, which carefully balance the freshly ground nutmeg flavor. This isn’t apple-nutmeg crisp—the citrus, nutmeg, cinnamon and apple flavors balance each other very nicely and are complimented by a buttery brown sugar
According to Eric Savitz of Barron's, the demand for solar power is so high that the solar industry has eclipsed the semiconductor business as the world's leading consumer of silicon wafers. This high demand has created a shortage of polysilicon, a material used in the manufacture of solar panels.The obvious play on the polysilicon shortage is MEMC Electronic Materials (WFR), one of the world's largest producers of silicon wafers. Unlike some of its rivals, MEMC produces most of its own silicon, and in fact sells some excess supply back into the market. The result is that MEMC benefits from soaring wafer pricing without suffering the associated increase in raw-material pricing.With solar energy catching steam in California, if solar panelled roofs become part of the government's agenda, stocks like WFR and ESLR will be huge winners.The recent correction in this stock presents a great buying opportunity at or below 37.-- Faisal Laljee

Cookies are all-time "must haves" at my place and since they are easy to make, and good for take along or for later (if they remain - which rarely happens!!!) I often make them.

Note: Dough will be very soft but don't panic bcoz that is the way it should be.Stir in chocolate chips. Drop dough by 3/4 spoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten this with bottom of a buttered glass.Bake for 6 to 9 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Enjoy!!!
Getting stuck on chardonnay this summer I decided to have another white wine with dinner the other night and decided to try a Sauvignon Blanc. A lot of times I find that Sauvignon Blancs are a little bit to sweet for my palate but the Grgich Hills Fume Blanc promised Dry Sauvignon Blanc so I thought, why not? And it kept it's promise. A great crisp, medium bodied wine with light rhubarb and floral on the nose. Nice acidity and grapefruit on the palate with a long finish. This is one of the best Sauvignon Blancs I have had and truly enjoyed it.Grgich Hill Fume Blanc 2005Napa ValleyDry Sauvignon BlancBuy it direct from the winery at www.grgich.com for $25 or find it for a bargain at www.wine-searcher.com from $10.95
