Serious Eats: jdolanie's Profile

I love it. It was something I would beg for after an good Italian dinner when I was a child. During the Christmas season Dreyers /Edys makes a special Spumoni flavor. It's not that good though.

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Bacon of the Month Club

I love it crisp, but not crunchy, baked in the oven then cooled and chopped up in quiche!

I saw this, and live too far away from Duni, and I took it upon myself to bake this cake for Easter. Wow what a cake. I decided if I'm gonna make dulce de leche like this, I'm gonna make a lot. Now I have 4 cans of this stuff. 4 cans 4 hours boiling, and 8 hours cooling overnight in the water bath. The next day was the cake. Made in a kitchenaid pro, and with 9 inch pans, and magi-strips the cakes came out smelling heavenly and dense. While the cakes were cooling the caramel was made, and the tres leche filling was created. I goofed up and added an extra ingredient. whole, condensed, evaporated, and heavy whipping. Otherwise everything else turned out just fine. The frosting of the cake was a bit of tricky. The cake was very moist and absolutely divine!

Spumoni: Love It or Leave It?

Hey- I grew up and live in Tennessee. We have Spumoni here. My Dad grew up in southern GA. He had it as a child there. We both love it.

I think it is just a matter of taste and if you go to the right places outside of areas with Italian populations.

And I think its popularity it on the rise! In my city there has only been one place to get it that I ever knew of, and now there are two or three. It is a city, but a small one.

New Green Milk Jug Design Cuts Costs But Is Difficult to Pour

You know, while I was pouring milk (without spilling any) from the container I got at Sam's Club, I wondered - Did Costco lower the price any from before they switched containers? You know, now that there isn't all that (expensive) heavy duty cardboard between flats of containers on a pallet?

I bought the massive, ill designed Costco container twice. That was all it took. Now milk is on my Sam's list vs. my Costco list.

New Green Milk Jug Design Cuts Costs But Is Difficult to Pour

I don't get to Costco regularly, but I remember buying these and not liking them. I can't remember why. It wasn't just the pouring issue (although if you had little kids trying to pour milk, I could see it being a problem). Maybe it was taller and I had to adjust the shelves in the fridge to make them fit? Or maybe it was trying to hold two of them in one hand? I guess I didn't think about it again because my Costco is far enough away that I only go a few times a year. I would still buy the milk if it saved me a lot of money.

Yea, saw this in the paper yesterday and immediately thought, "uh, those people are idiots to complain about cheaper milk." That was probably a tad harsh, but it's crazy that people would buy a more expensive product because they cannot pour from the new one. Uh... right.

Gin and tonics are my favorite for something cool to drink while sitting on my patio.

Mint juleps! Forget mojitos, I prefer this classic work of art in bourbon, mint, sugar and ice - the perfect compliment to relaxing on a porch swing or rocker.
