Glad your covering the goods in CT. You must check out the doughnuts at Dottie's in Woodbury, CT. I like the doughnuts at Cofffee An', but I LOVE the ones at Dottie's.

FLorian Bellanger made it on Martha Stewart, and although I have not tried my hand at the recipe, I have eaten his Kouing Aman, and they are my choice for part of a last meal. Here's the link to the recipe.

I left the eggs out of Nigella's chocolate loaf cake. It was undelicious. I had to appologize....for something chocolate...

Porterhouse. Peter Luger is the best!

I'm doing Nigella's ham in coke. I asked people on this boad which kind of ham (Nigella isn't that specific). The recipe is much lauded round the net.

I'm going to look for an uncooked cured bone-in. Her other recipe for ham in coke from another book calls for the bone. sounds better. thanks all, and if anyone has any comments from making it, I'd love to hear them. I'm going to make it for christmas, so I have time to think about it.

Thanks for the link, but she also states a "mild cure" and gives direction should one have a "salty" piece...fresh ham as we know it should have neither and is just a cut of pork leg, I believe.

pecan pie. I have not outgrown it, but unfortunately nobody else in my family likes it, so I'm making apple (as required by my brother "a good guest would bring apple...")

Ina's chocolate cake - Beales (?) I think she calls it. Everyone asks for that recipe. I love her coconut cake a little too much.

What about Dr. Mike's in CT?

What about the MARATHON BAR? The candy bar, not the newfangled energy bar. It was my childhood pick when I found change in the couch.
