Cakespy: CupShake, a Cupcake Milkshake

I say, Why not! I love cake and milk, cake and ice cream and I really love to take my homemade brownies with frosting and have it with ice cream and once in a while I will chop up the brownie and mix it in the ice cream. It is definitely a decadent treat and not meant for everyday. Is this any different than Cookie and Cream ice cream? I do think hand stirring would be better than blending but then that is my personal opinion. To each his own, I guess.

The Crisper Whisperer: Zucchini and Corn Fritters Rule the World. For Reals

Wow, after reading more comments, I learned some more. I didnt know you could cook kohlrabi. I thought all you would do was eat it raw. Well, if my six are still good, we will be trying something new this evening. Thank you and yes, we need more on kohlrabi. We need to spread the word. When I mention it, people look at me and say "What?'.

LOL, OMG, I am LMA off here. Thanks for telling us what CSA meant, I was wondering also. I had seen that before but couldnt remember.
As for the "Sneak a Kohlrabi into your neighbor's crisper" Day. I have my own, tyvm, about 6 of them harvested about 6 weeks ago. They are starting to look a little mangy but I dont have the heart to throw them out yet.
As for the zucchini, we harvest every day and hubs always manages to miss a couple so you all know what happens to them. It is attack of the killer zucchini the next day. I think he has hurt his shoulder tossing them. We do a lot of things with them - SHARE THEM, make zucchini fritters with corn and without, eat them raw, shake with Bisquick and fry, but the best is sauteeing them up with leftover cut off corn on the cob. Saute in olive oil to begin with and then add a pat of butter at the end so it coats and makes everything look glossy and yummy.
Long live the zucchini gods!

Cook the Book: 'Endangered Recipes' by Lari Robling

My fondest memories are eating at my grandmother's. She always had a meal for us when we came to viist. She always had leftover cooked bacon sitting on a plate on the stove and we could have a bite. Sometimes she would call up to the little neighborhood grocerier and order lunchment(liverwurst and pimento loaf) and other stuff and we would walk up and get it for her. She made the very best apple pies and she listened to Kitchen Klatter every morning on the radio and wrote down the recipes. I have a whole collection of her bits and pieces of paper with recipes on them.

Making Butter at Home

Yes, we made lots of butter when I was young as we had dairy cows and lots of cream. We had one of those jar butter churns. Now I make it once in a while when I have cream to use up and I use either my mixer or a jar depending on how much I have. It is wonderful stuff on most anything. Especially good with new radishes from the garden.

Seriously Delicious Holiday Food Giveaway: Russ & Daughters

Well I dont live close enough to go to Russ and Daughters but I perked when I saw this article as they were on the Martha Stewart Show on Dec 22. They brought bagels, cream cheese and smoked salmon for the show guests and my mouth was watering. If I ever get to NYC, it will be on my list of places to visit for sure.

Cook the Book: Jamie at Home

One of my favs is a beef potato hash made with leftover roast beef, raw potatoes, onion (all roughly ground in the FP) and leftover gravey or broth, seasoned to taste and then cooked until thick and hashy. Yummy with homemade bread or biscuits.

Cakespy: CupShake, a Cupcake Milkshake

Actually, Sonic (the chain restaurant) made a "birthday cake shake" for their 50th birthday in 2003. Theirs was pretty good, though a bit too sweet for me.

I have to admit that I let my curiosity get the better of me and I made one of these last week.

And it was pretty awesome.

Bleagh! I feel quite ill... bad enough blending cake with icecream, but then adding double cream???? Gross.

When I was 17, I had jaw surgery and my mom had to puree everything so I could at least "eat" with everyone else - so she pureed chinese food with homemade chicken broth, etc.

I would've adored something like this. Sounds like it would've been heaven. Next time I have any cupcakes, I will try this. Sounds sweet and yummy.

Where I live (central NY) we have Perry's ice cream, which has a wonderful flavor called "piece of cake". It is yellow cake flavored and has hunks of cake and fudgy chocolate frosting in it. So, no need to make this shake. Just buy a half gallon and dig in. (I usually go to the ice cream stand and get a scoop of this kind with a scoop of French Roast Coffee...thus, having coffee and cake) Mmmmmmmmmm!!

Love the bowling idea, and my husband used to play baseball with zucchini bats as a kid in real life. Next week's post will indeed be about kohlrabi!

Yes, please...further suggestions as to uses for kohlrabi! I only planted 6, ate two raw when young, gave two medium-sized away and now have two giant ones left languishing in the garden. A friend suggested I drill three holes in them and use them as bowling balls to knock down an array of "zucchini pins"!

This look delicious and I LOVE the column. I adore zucchini and am, I think, the only one enjoying the surplus of it in my basket. Baked Zucchini & tomatoes anyone? Or, even better, Chocolate-Zucchini bundt cake!

AMAZING RECIPE! I love these fritters I made them sans cilantro (i'm not a fan) and substituted some garlic for the onion (missed it in the store) but they were wonderful! The salted zucchini with the sweet corn and a healthy dollop of some Fage yogurt sent me to heaven! Thanks for sharing,

Made these last night and served with mixed greens and balsamic vinaigrette. Perfect light dinner!
The only change I would have made is adding some salt to the mixture before cooking the fritters - the salt from the zucchini doesn't really come through in the mixture.

I've had zucchini fritters before but I just love the idea of adding corn, too. What a great summer dish. Yum!

@ JethroSpanks

To bake the batter heat a cake pan with some oil in the over then, after a few minutes, poru the batter in and let it bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the bottom is browned and bubbling (you'll be able to see it on the sides). You may want to put it under the grill if the top didn't get enough color.
I gave up frying the batter when oil exploded all over my kitchen and, consequently, on me. Fresh corn is very hard to come by in France and I resorted to drained canned corn... too much water... not such a good idea.
the batter is still tasty when baked!

Cook the Book: 'Endangered Recipes' by Lari Robling

most of my favorite food memories are from when we used to go camping. I don't know why, but everything always used to taste better when camping. I think my favorite food memory was the first time my dad cooked turkey on a grill (while camping of course). Not only was I amazed that you could cook a turkey anywhere but the oven, it was also the best turkey that I had ever had.

My fondest childhood food memory is anything with my grandma. Seems she was cooking all the time, and the kitchen really was the heart of the home. Wether it was eggs and bacon for breakfast or a large family celebration, grandma always did it all, and with love. I do remember that she had to make meat and potatoes for grandpas lunch everyday!

my fav childhood memory regarding food centers around anything my grandmother let me get involved in making. but the memory that stands out the most is distinctly remembering making homemade gnocchi with my grandmother many times...rolling out the dough, cutting it into small pieces and then using our thumbs to make the indent....

Everything my Grandma cooked was delicious but her breakfasts were my favorite. As a kid I couldn't wait for morning to come! She'd bake biscuits from scratch mixing with the scents of bacon, home fries and scrambled eggs with vegetables.
