I used it once, and finally gave it to my brother & s-i-l. I don't miss it. I cannot imagine ever bothering with one again, although I know a lot of people really like them.deenbathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14048621996080763158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2776528175296070663.post-68206010788041267762013-09-17T05:20:35.890-07:002013-09-17T05:20:35.890-07:00That recipe looks really good.

They're delicious, not too sweet, and they come together fast in the blender. You don't have to use the raisins--I never bother--although dried cranberries would be good if you like them. You don't need muffin tins if you buy the foil baking cups: the paper layer goes on the inside, touching the batter, and the foil layer goes on the outside for structural reinforcement. <br /><br />For the lightest muffins, mix lightly just until the wet and dry mixtures are combined. It's OK to leave a few streaks of unmixed flour. <a href="http://www.bhg.com/videos/m/32071627/folding-ingredients-together.htm" rel="nofollow">This video</a> shows you the proper folding motion. <br /><br />The only sticking point is the orange peel: for the whole orange, you need to find organic or else scrub the orange hard with soap and a brush to remove the pesticide wax. It's not just bad for you, it will ruin the taste of your finished dish (I found out the hard way when I served an inedibly bitter Shaker lemon pie to some guests). I've found that the bigger the orange, the bigger and lighter these muffins will be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2776528175296070663.post-73155270681811919942013-09-16T15:14:25.853-07:002013-09-16T15:14:25.853-07:00When I made a pot roast on the crock-pot(not thril...When I made a pot roast on the crock-pot(not thrilled with the results, but I'm working on that), I at least had the sense to cut the roast into pieces before I cooked it, so I could package up leftovers without trying to hack up the hot meat.KF-in-Georgiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04124517222143949956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2776528175296070663.post-18422594803693195892013-09-16T15:07:13.698-07:002013-09-16T15:07:13.698-07:00Kathy, I wouldn't have thought it possible tha...Kathy, I wouldn't have thought it possible that I could have recipes for anyone, and I have friends who would laugh hysterically at the idea - but, I may have some you can use. I'm the laziest cook in the world, and 10 years of being a grad student enhanced the cheap cooking habits I learned as a kid. I'm a huge proponent of freezable left-overs, as I hate eating the same thing two nights in a row. I learned long ago to freeze left-overs in meal-sized portions so that we can have home-cooked "frozen dinners" for the many, many nights we don't feel like cooking (or washing many dishes, which we both hate).deenbathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14048621996080763158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2776528175296070663.post-54876253251731209072013-09-16T12:18:19.165-07:002013-09-16T12:18:19.165-07:00I enjoyed reading this and getting to know you bet...I enjoyed reading this and getting to know you better!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
