Ginger Marmalade

OOO! that sounds delish. My Meyer lemon tree is ready to harvest here in LA.. Maybe I could substitute that for the Tangerine?

Ginger Marmalade

Anyone ever done this? I found a few recipes. What I was wondering is can you cook the ginger with the skin on and then remove the skin?
If some one has a recipe they have tried and liked that would be helpful too.
I want to make this and give as Christmas gifts

suet pudding served with pot roast and gravy

WOW, You found it. Many thanks. That sounds like exactly what I remember.

Lawhound05,

I hope you find it. My Mother was English and I am sure it was a family recipe. She was a wonderful cook and baker, and I never saw a cook book growing up. Someone had to have taught her.

Paprikaboy,

A different version, but I like it and will try it. Thanks

suet pudding served with pot roast and gravy

My Mother used to make this pudding, at least that's what she called it. It didn't have a whole lot of flavor but was great with pot roast and gravy and even fried till brown the next day. I remember there being a large linen napkin involved and the whole thing dropped into boiling water. Definitely not a dessert. Any one know what I am referring to and where to get a recipe?

Ceramic knives

I got one as a promo I think. Anyway it was sharp as a razor for a good while I guess, but now quite dull. Can I sharpen it like a steel knife?

Lemons gotten covered with mold

This is such a great resource. Thank you all.

Lemons gotten covered with mold

Thanks Will. I will do that in the future.

Peg, I thought of freezing, and I like the ice cube idea. Can one still get zest from frozen citrus?

Lemons gotten covered with mold

Every time I buy lemons at the market and bring them home they are covered with mold in a matter of days. Inside or outside the frig. The lemons from my meyer lemon tree never get moldy. Anyone know where the mold might be coming from?

Why are we wasting so much food?

chowser

I know about pretty food first hand. In the early 70's I was running commercial hydroponic greenhouses. Our product was as good tasting as you can get, primarily tomatoes, but lettuce as well. The only people we could sell the tomatoes to were chefs, because the taste was there. When it came to the markets the pretty factor wasn't there so they would not buy from us. But that was the 70's

You are not my target audience. What i am trying to figure out is to how to get the "unwanted food" to those who need the nutrition and not necessarily the prettiest food.

Why are we wasting so much food?

majordanby,

That is the best idea of all. What area are you in?

Why are we wasting so much food?

Thank you acgold7.

That is the kind of information I am looking for.
Chowser thank you as well, now we are getting somewhere.

Why are we wasting so much food?

So you are saying lawyers stand in the way of selling day old bread at a discount or slightly over ripe fruit . Throwing it away is legally more prudent.
One of my stores does sell "yesterdays grind" of ground beef at a discount. Is that illegal?

Why are we wasting so much food?

Our local markets here in New Orleans throw away so much food every day it is a crime. What ever happened to day old bread, when nearly every market these days has an in house bakery. Why does a bruised piece of fruit get tossed in the trash instead of discounted for consumer consumption. Same with cheese, a little green on a corner, that can easily be trimmed off, is tossed away. With all the hunger that is taking place in our country, and all the hard times people are experiencing, does it not seem immoral to throw away so much food.
And the same goes for restaurants.
Why are these foods not given to soup kitchens, marked down or frozen for resale, stale bread turned into bread crumbs, bread pudding. The possibilities are endless.

Any ideas as to how to make this happen?

Vegan eating in NOLA

There are no vegan restaurants here. Muriels, Bayona, and August have vegetarian offerings. As Tom Fitzmorris says to people with food issues, shop the menu for ingredients that suit your needs and ask the kitchen to fix it for you. They have the food and know how to cook. It shouldn't be a problem.

Anyone been to this restaurant on the west bank at Realty? Good Middle Eastern grocery next door with fresh goat and lamb and a million other things.

Local Knife Sharpening Service?

There is a knife sharpen at the Saturday Gretna Farmer's Market and also at a shoe repair shop on Magazine river side in that block with a whole bunch of shoe repairs where Martin's is.

Bakery on Maple Street

They do bake on sight. All kinds of breads,focaccia,muffins, gooey fruit things,hallah, there is not much they don't have

Bakery on Maple Street

I think it is Maple Street Bakery. Folks this place is divine. Cinnamon brioche that will make you cry it is soooo good and everything I have had which isn't much has been wonderful. They just opened 2 weeks ago, it is on a corner, not much of a sign, across the side street where Starbucks is, 4-5 blocks off Broadway. Go you won't regret it.
