It is completely dairy free, you puree the potatoes and the corn after cooking and it is incredibly creamy.

When you get a minute, and if it's not too much trouble...... could you send me the recipe or post it?

I'm thinking delish wif crumpled bacon on top

[Jestgar]

Sorry Suze. Count me out. Had Mexican a couple days ago (corn) and body is not very mobile today. At what age are we truly old enough to know better?

[jerseyangel]

:Psillies - get here fast. Need diggers. Body is not holding out and things still need planting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hee! Too bad we can't decend on yer yard en masse--gardening gloves and shovels at the ready! Then we could move to mine--a lady at Mark's office gave him a bag full of daffodil bulbs that need to be separated and planted.

I know nothing about this

[Mtndog]

Wait? Julie's having Joe the plumber over for corn chowder tonight and Nikki's's got some major Atonement to do for her Toffee Sugar Yummy Plum Cake while Emily's wearing deli meat for Halloween? I'm so confuzzled....... :wacko:

POeter, you and Jacquie should come over to this island party! We can be a formidable Dinka Tribe, and you of course would be the Wise Medicine Man. Wif plates in our lips and twenty rings stacked around our weakened necks, we'd strike a formidable pose. . . . . .....

Emily's Tribe is Dinka and the Ballcocks?

Patti . . . sorry to hear about yer cousin and their grandaughter. Glad to hear they will be OK.

Me too- glad they are OK. have never understood hit and run- how could you not stop to make sure others were OK. I'll keep them in my thoughts!

My casserole was a hit--all gone now too! So I mastered another cooking art!!! Yeaa!!!!!

Amanda! Sounded really good too!

I had a Wildlife Crisis last night. Went to Pier 1 (DANGER) and as I got out of my car this couple yelled "Be careful!!! There's a blah blah blah in the tree!!!!!!!!"

Well, I looked up and THOUGHT I saw a huge owl but looked again and realized it was a racoon. A big racoon. The couple's car was wright under the wispy little tree and we have rabid racoons here. So I called the police after finding out there is NO wildlife rescue in this area. Cops talk to me like I'm an eejit- :" M'am, that is a common place to spot a racoon and they are nocturnal."

No s$#&e. But they generally don't hang out in newly planted saplings in the MIDDLE of a mall parking lot!!!!!!! The couple finally just bit the bullet and got in their car. When I left ($50 later) poor little guy was still there!!!! I hope he got down once the crowds left. Hmmm...maybe he was waiting for the opening of Nordstrom's rack.

When you get a minute, and if it's not too much trouble...... could you send me the recipe or post it?

Yes, I'll be a pest also and ask her to post it

Sorry Suze. Count me out. Had Mexican a couple days ago (corn) and body is not very mobile today. At what age are we truly old enough to know better?

dear gawd, I know. I really SHOULD stop digging and reFUSE. but - no huge deep holes like I used to - I do hire out for that.

Jess - you had a Mexican? was it Benicio? :swoon:

but seriously.......corn demobilizes you? HEINOUS

[jerseyangel]

Gawd Jess--I'm sorry

This is the phirst day in a week I haven't had squeezing sinus pain from trying to sneak in some dairy. When in hell do we learn?

but the raccoon - - OMG. Poor thing.........and yeah, what WAS it doing there?

we had VICIOUS raccoons in Monterey, several in my 'hood - Tika and Annie were lucky - stayed inside at night - but the dog next door got in a savage fight with one - was badly injured but made it, after many stitches.

Sillies - I am stalling from digging. many things to be planted still. Help me.

and WHERE ARE Goosey, Laura, Karen, Lynn, we have heard NOTHING about their trip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<stomping foot>

[nikki-uk]

Gorgeous mans!!!!!.....this I gotta see

Susie how is your back?? And the Weasel's bee eating?

Bee poo cairns??

Potato Corn chowder is on the menu for dinner tonight! I found my old recipe that I used to make a few years ago, but haven't had it in a while. I was thinking it was going to be cooler today and it sounded perfect so I got all the ingredients, tis a warm sunny fall day however! Oh well

Julie's got the cooking bug!

Did not even click on this link (not easy to do anyway with no idea where me cursor is) . .. . But I'm picturing it. .. . . . ...mmmmmmmmmm. .. . ...... ..

I can have a piece of sumphin' like this if I inject a lot of insulin. . . . never a good idea, but man, is it tempting sometimes. . . . . ......

GADS, sorry Em ...but can you use artificial sweeteners in cakes and such or does that also do terrible things ????

Don't worry about clicking on the link, I think that may be the most confusing recipe I've ever seen.

Yeah thanks Bunnie,

I did include a conversion link

I sometimes find American recipes difficult to follow...different measures/terminology etc....but I find with a bit of research, I have a go and it usually turns out alright .

[jerseyangel]

Nik--that cake of Tel's looks devine! This sugar is intreguing.......brown and crunchy--yum!

All of a sudden it got dark here like it's gonna rain! I have to turn the light on!

[Jestgar]

Gawd Jess--I'm sorry

This is the phirst day in a week I haven't had squeezing sinus pain from trying to sneak in some dairy. When in hell do we learn?

Well, I'm thinking that you're marginally older than I am, so we need someone even older and wiser to tell us when we can expect to stop acting irresponsibly (And how in hell do corn chips and dairy count as irresponsible?! Next time I'm cheating with half a bottle of single malt. )

[DingoGirl]

T'is unrefined sugar, brown in coloUr....reaaal crunchy, caramelizes on top like a dream

Oh! well then, I think here we call this - wait for it - brown sugar. or, maybe raw sugar? the name you guys give it sounds so........exotic.

It does involve a wee bit of mathS, but converting isn't so hard, methinks...........esp. when one has the conversion chart handy.

Bee poo cairns??

*snort*

:lol:

she didn't eat enough. she has to eat tons for the bees to poop out whole, I guess. and it only happens once every two weeks once a week, when she is out doing the front yard with me, all the bees are out there. I want to rip out those ugly little hedges, but, the bees do like them and.......we have a BEE CRISIS, people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All of a sudden it got dark here like it's gonna rain! I have to turn the light on!

Oh! we'll be there in a few hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please have Tel's cake ready for us.

Creamy cauliflower, rapid raccoons, Madonna's marital mishaps. . . .....

Do you think your diabetes is Celiac related? Just curious...

Yep, absolutely. One in six type ones is also celiac. Statistics that can't be dismissed - - one can "cause" the other, or trigger it, to be sure. My diabetes "started" when I was seven, and my silent celiac was diagnosed just three years ago, by chance.

What an interesting case study I remain .. . . ...

Can you bake with Splenda? I didn't think you could with other artificial sweeteners of the past, but for some reason i am thinking you can with Splenda?

Splenda does fairly well when cooked... .. it ain't sugar, never will be, but it fills the void. I rarely use it .. . . it is twenty times the price of sugar, and I don't like what I know about it chemically......it is chlorinated sugar, after all. But every now and then . .. . . ....

Psillies - get here fast. Need diggers. Body is not holding out and things still need planting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You need yerself another Stinker, Sooozie!

Bevel can stand in for Leeesa for precis updates if ever needed. . . . . .

Jess - you had a Mexican? was it Benicio? :swoon:

As long as it was NOT Dimitri the God of ALL Greekness. . . anybody but him, puuuleeeease!

GADS, sorry Em ...but can you use artificial sweeteners in cakes and such or does that also do terrible things ????

"Oh, my gawd. . . ..this is devastating. . .. ...I've just found out that I can no longer have sex!!"

You have yer share of this heinousness, too, Julie And still you help me wif me baking

That soup looks really good! I will be making it sometime this weekend--it's supposed to get much colder beginning tomorrow. Thanks hun

[curlyfries]

Maybe your cursor is the cause of me computer glitches this morning! Everything seems to be working phine now, so I assume you have it back?

Well that explains it.........the cursor must've been messin with MY computer last night, then headed for Patti's.........hmmmmm......is the Jester behind this somehow?

Psillies - get here fast. Need diggers. Body is not holding out and things still need planting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll have to opt out, also...........should we add a gardener to our escape plan list?.........note: must have long thumbs

have never understood hit and run

Happened to me years ago. I was stopped at a red light, just sitting there, when I got hit. You know he had to have been drunk. Hubby swears it is the reason for all my problems......he's probably right. My health went downhill after that.

When in hell do we learn?

I know........my cheat is bbq sauce and spaghetti sauce. I know there's sugar in them, but keep hoping my body won't notice.

[jerseyangel]

I know there's sugar in them, but keep hoping my body won't notice.

Only here would people know EXACTLY what you mean!!

[elye]

You have yer share of this heinousness, too, Julie And still you help me wif me baking

It's so true. . .. .you guys have things SO much worse than I. I can't imagine life without dairy, legumes, corn . .. . .. ..gad.

Would you guys give up sex for your intolerances?

Sex for chocolate... . . . ..... . .lentils. . .... . a fudge sundae........ ..

Oh, boy. . ... . . ...this is gettin' tough. . . ... ......

I'm thinking delish wif crumpled bacon on top

Everything's better wif a bit o crumpled bacon on top!!!

[jerseyangel]

Everything's better wif a bit o crumpled bacon on top!!!

True dat!!

[JNBunnie1]

Yeah thanks Bunnie,

I did include a conversion link

I sometimes find American recipes difficult to follow...different measures/terminology etc....but I find with a bit of research, I have a go and it usually turns out alright .

I just meant I was reading it, and the directions went like this:

Prepare sponge (I'm guessing that means dry cake part)

do something else

Add rest of sponge ingredients.

Maybe I'm just retarded, but that didn't make any sense to me. I don't mind the math of converting it, the actual directions stumped me!

[elye]

Everything's better wif a bit o crumpled bacon on top!!!

One could crumble Canadian back bacon on top o' me Canadian Lumberjack tarts.... . . ..

[Jestgar]

Yum! Leave out the sweetener and maybe add a little basil to the mix...
