'Wot RoTT' exchange

[Scoopie]

Tuning in to the cooking channel here! Skimmed through the recipies. Like Sharon, I have a kitchen because it came with the house. I do NOT like rhubarb, nor do I like gooseberries! But, my DH LOVES rhubarb so I make him a rhubarb pie every Father's Day (no strawberries added, per request) and don't eat a bite of it!

But as I metioned before, I DO make a killer stoopwafel! The recipe I have is supposed to be a friend's family's cherished, 'secret' recipe, but I have found recipies on-line that are VERY similar to this one! So, since I am sworn to secrecy, you'll just have to take my word for it, these are GOOD! :lol:

Thanks for the information Rosemary. I am sure we just had the common variety, but would like to find the champagne variety and try it raw.
Like trying new things, but that black pudding is totally out of the question.

Should we ask TQS for a separate Forum topic in the Board Index for Recipes? There are too many great recipes being shared! :P I'm starting to copy them into Microsoft OneNote (allows me to create a Notebook) so that I can refer to them again and again. Right now, Rita's Irish Tea Brack is in the oven! Soaked the raisins and sultanas last night in strong English Breakfast Tea. Had to put it in one tin instead of two (will have to go out and purchase a second one), but will let it cook a little longer and hope that works. Thanks, Rita!!!

Dawn -- there were times I was thinking I was the only one on the planet who didn't like rhubarb. LOL You made my day. Now if you girls want a yummy zucchini bread recipe, I'm the girl for you. Going to the sewing room now.

[Renata]

Who would not want a yummy zucchini bread recipe? Please do share when you get a chance!

Yes please!

You girls are spoiled rotten, so here goes.
Zucchini Bread
3 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 C. vegetable oil
1 tsp. vanilla
8 ounces of cream cheese, softened
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon, but I put in more cause I love cinnamon
1 tsp. salt.
1/2 tsp nutmet
2 cups shredded zucchini

Oven at 350 two 9 x 5" loaf pans or 7 of the little ones (don't know the size)

Here at altitude I bake it about 45 minutes, but you can watch it. Also you can add nuts -- it also freezes very well.

Dang that made me hungry, guess I will make some this afternoon. LOL

Hugs, Sharon

I remember eating rhubarb raw when I was a child. It grew in the wild where we lived in Idaho. I'm sure my mother made rhubarb pies but I don't remember eating them. Back then I wouldn't eat much of anything cooked but did like almost everything raw.

As promised yesterday, I soaked raisins and sultanas last night. Today I made Rita's Irish Tea Brack and I love it (so does DH ). I think it turned out a little more moist than intended only because I did not have two small tins to divide the mixture into and so I baked it a little longer but might get a different result if there were two tins and the bracks were smaller. But, absolutely delicious! Thank you for the recipe, Rita. Can't promise when, but I will try Rosemary's recipe with yeast too (a lot on my plate--tea brack?--to do another recipe at this moment). Since I was so intent on getting away from the sewing machine and into the kitchen, I started feeling guilty... so this morning at the crack of dawn I finished Month 1 of Sedona Star and will post it shortly on Show and Tell. In the meantime, here is Rita's Irish Tea Brack in photos:

[Renata]

Oh my gosh, Renata. Your tea brack ( I think I got that right) looks great!! I copied the recipes and plan to try them, too. After all, one can't live by quilting alone - sometimes you've got to have a treat!!! When my husband and I were on our honeymoon in Maine over 13 years ago, we had a wonderful bread in our bread basket one evening at a fine restaurant that was made with Earl Grey tea and it had such a pleasant flavor. I don't remember if it had any fruit in it, but maybe a few golden raisins. I love this sharing of foods. Nancy

[Renata]

Nancy, I am so glad Rita shared her recipe because it was so easy to make and is delicious! The directions were perfect and if you follow them to the letter, you will be very happy with the results. When the raisins were ready the next morning, the first thing I did was turn on the oven. Then I prepared the tins with parchment paper. By the time the ingredients were sifted and incorporated, the oven had reached the temperature required to put the tin in the oven. Voila', done! This recipe is for sure a 'keeper!' Renata

Awesome I am going to try this one too!
And back to rhubard was I the only child who snuck the sugar bowl out to the rhubarb patch to dunk a stalk of rhubarb in it and chew a big ol bite? Those were teh days. Good old summer days as a child. Our rhubarb is sweet and bright red. delicious.

Me too, My brothers and I snuck the sugar bowl out to the patch and dunked a stock in the sugar and chewed away! So sweet and so good!
