I submitted the question last winter :)


Looking for a Greek Liqueur That Tastes Like Apple Crisp

thank you for all of the suggestions! I don't live in a huge metropolitan area and our liquor stores aren't stocked with a ton of variety, but I think I can try and recreate it at home now.

I'm particularly intrigued by the rakomelo...I'm pretty sure I can at least get my hands on grappa and play with infusing that. I also have a bottle of Tuaca at home, but I'm not sure that would be the right base for this, it already has a really strong orange and vanilla aroma and taste but the Tuaca Hot Apple Pie sounds delicious on it's own!

This sounds like an awesome holiday gift- approximately how many cups does the fished product yield? I'd love to tackle this, but I don't want to come up short because of evaporation.

I'll keep my nonstick pans, and they can keep their oil.

I'm completely intrigued, and a little grossed out at the same time. How does the milk not sour and kill you when you drink it? Is it the alcohol that prevents this?

low and slow. The slow cooker is your best friend for venison. It has a tendency to get tough and dry fast, so it works well in stews, chili, really any winter slow cooker dish you love.

I use ground venison for meat sauces with spaghetti.

Also, tenderloin marinated in brown sugar and soy sauce wrapped in bacon is heavenly. Pan seared quickly, and finished in the oven.

Can you change him? Nope. Can you trust him? Well, did you trust him before?

My fiance is not a foodie. My world revolves around food. But I see it as a challenge. His food vocabulary consisted of pasta, campbells canned soup, and some weird chicken with canned gravy over noodles (so more pasta).

So now that we're to be married, I have to come up with creative ways to get him to eat things that he thought he didn't like, or wasn't adventurous enough to try. And that is exciting. Even if it consists of making lasagna cups with spinach and ham opposed to a pan of traditional lasagna, it's a step in the right direction, and it exposes him to new things, while still keeping me happy in the kitchen. Will I ever get him to voluntarily choose a trendy thai restaurant over olive garden? No, probably not. But that's okay, because I know he'd at least try it for me.

I think people are missing the point here. The point is not to save money, it's to play with something that may seem unobtainable to others. I never knew how to make yogurt before, and well, now I know. And hey, if I can save a few pennies here and there along the way, awesome. And when you think about saving .75 cents, PLUS not having to buy a yogurt maker? you're definitely coming out ahead.
