The pasties are popular in the state of Hidalgo, near Mexico City. That was a place filled with mines. The English brought among other things pasty and football (soccer). The pasties are called "pastes" in Mexico.

it happens.

I know it can be frustrating to cook/bake something and it doesn't come out as expected (specially if it is something you have previously nailed). I usually let it pass without much worry. Be calm and just try other day :)

Can you used dried cranberries instead of fresh ones? Can't get them in my neck of the woods.

I feel for your loss. I felt moved by your tribute. For what I have read and seen Dumpling was a great dog and a great friend.

He is sure in a place where he can enjoy food and sleeping all that he wants.

Great idea for combining two recipes. If it resembles even just a bit to tacos al pastor, they should be great.

@Joshua Bousel. Thanks for the reply, mine have shown some signs of rusting, perhaps it is time to replace it.

BTW mine also bents from the heat.

Hi,

Thanks for all the suggestions. I think I'll be using for some brownies and maybe with some apple.

I also may try it on a hot cocoa.

Thanks again, my caramel may have a renewed life lol

French's Yellow mustard, followed closely by Guldens Spicy Brown

I've just made croissants once, it is not to difficult as it may sound but it is time consuming.

I've used the recipe found on epicurious.com and they came out great.

Go ahead and make them, you won't regret it.

Ritter Sport has always been my favorite Milk Chocolate. If you want a little more quality you should try Ritter Sport Alpenmilch (Alpine Milk).

Another good milk chocolate is Milka (from Germany also).

mmm Ritter Sport, now you gave me a craving lol

Many things,

The first two things that come to mind:

- A rub for grilling meat, chicken, fish, etc. Just remove the seeds and mix with some spices like salt, pepper, garlic powder, etc. in a mortar or in a blender.

- A salsa, just blanch some tomatoes and add them with the chiles, a clove or two of garlic into the blender for about a minute.

I would recommend the Cuisinart ICE-30BC, it's a 2 quart version of Cuisinart and it works really well, only $79.

I have one and I love it.
