Jane HenegarJuly has fled fast away, and that means school is upon us. (Remember the good old days when nothing academic happened before Labor Day?) Requests are several; first the old, then the fresh: Town and Country’s cinnamon coffee rolls and hamburger steak, Fehn’s fried chicken, Lott’s roast beef, shrimp from the Shrimp Boat near Eastgate and breakfast in a jar. Fresh off the inbox, how to dry roast nuts, one-minute muffins and cake in a mug.
Micayla Allen has been looking for dry-roasted cashews and cannot find them, so she thought she might roast her own, if you can help. She also wants a recipe for one-minute muffins that calls for almond meal and for a one-serving cake that is prepared in a mug in the microwave.
Rose Jackman found this recipe as suggested in last week’s Exchange. She wrote that, “I didn’t know what a Kirby cucumber was but evidently they are good ones for making pickles.”
Half Sour Pickles
5 Kirby cucumbers (or however many you can fit into your jar)
