Sorry, It is a cheddar made with Welsh brown ale and whole brown mustard seeds.
The reason I didn't include these specifics is that the cheese is unique, and you either know it or you don't!!

pecan and pumpkin pie how long will they keep?

I know that pecan and pumpkin pies are essentially custards. How long will they keep refrigerated, without becoming soggy, or spoiling?
I only bake about once a year, at Thanksgiving, of course, However, I'm not getting younger, and I like to do as much in advance as I can, as the time I can spend on my feet is somewhat limited
Thanks, everyone, and Happy Thanksgiving!

recipe for tomato condiment from L'Andana restaurant

We ate at L'Andana, in Burlington, MA recently, it was a wonderful dining experience!

Due to a head injury, my sense of smell, and therefore my ability to taste is very limited.
However, I was able to partially taste a tomato condiment they served with olive oil for bread dipping.
I am no longer able to recreate dishes like this myself, but whenever I encounter something that I can really enjoy, I want to make it at home. I am a terrific cook, if I do say so myself, but now I must depend on others to tell me whether what I have made is really outstanding. Has anyone eaten there who can give me an approximation of how that tomato ?jam? was made, and what the ingredients are?

If any of you have other suggestions for me, or know of others who have similar problems, and love food and cooking, I would be so pleased to hear from you. I have a cookbook library of over 1500 books, it is especially difficult for me, as cooking and reading about cooking has always been a major part of my life

Thanks,
