Fishweave!!!!

*glomps*

So nice to see you here!


Good morning, SparX and everyone - although it's now afternoon here for me. :P

I was wondering...does cheesecake normally have egg in it?

I can't remember if it does or not...

It sure does. This one from the Cheesecake Factory uses 5 eggs.

I've been meaning to make The Cheesecake Factory's Pumpkin Cheesecake, but I haven't gotten around to it yet...

And the one I made yesterday came out of a box and all I added was butter and cream cheese.

I've never made cheesecake before. Is the box kind good?

Yep. It's pretty tasty. My husband was eating it before it was fully refrigerated for 2 hours.

LOL That sounds like a hubby thing to do. ;-)

-weeps- boxed cheesecake is both vile and amazing. it tastes cheap but is easy as heck to eat

Tomorrow, I might be able to duck off to Omaha to get quail eggs. I have to see what things look like, weather-wise. This week's been overcast and rainy since Wednesday, when we had severe storms.

I'm still looking for a place around here that sells quail eggs. Of course, if I ever did find them, I'd be asking all of you for recipes. ;-)

I don't know if I said this already, but a nice super cheesy omelet is also awesome.

Has anyone had mini quiches before? Those are really tasty too. :D

I've always wanted to make one but never have Dx

I've never made mini quiches either, but I'm thinking they would be really easy. Spray oil into mini muffin tins. Whip up eggs with whatever you want in them. Pour the batter into tins and bake until puffy. =)

I love mini muffin tins XD
I've made huge (small) reeses out of them before XD
I would want to make sure to have bacon or green pepper in them too for the quiches

I've never made Reeses before. The only candy I've ever made is fudge. I bet that was tasty. :D

I'm having a problem with the chocolate. I want a butter based one, but it was not thick enough to hold it's shape without being chilled.

I use butter with my fudge and then chill it, but once it's been chilled it usually holds its shape pretty good.

I've made Buckeyes, which are peanut butter balls that are coated with chocolate, but the very top remains exposed so that they look like the nut. They taste like Reese cups too...you have to use a LOT of powdered sugar in them.

Oh my. Those look so incredible!

They are very yummy...and now I want some.

I have quite the sugar craving now. @_@

There is another thing we make sometimes called potato candy. It's potatoes, lots and lots of powdered sugar, and peanut butter. Just looking at them will rot your teeth.

I've never seen or heard of that. What does it taste like?

sugar and peanut butter. It's so strange too. You boil the potatoes and then as you add the sugar it liquefies them. You actually have to add a lot of sugar because you need to potatoes to be dough like.

Interesting. I'd like to try one some time.

I've never seen them sold anywhere, maybe they are but so far as I know it's strictly a home made sort of thing.

sounds like it would taste good if it was fried afterwards to give it a crispy shell

I just made something that tasted kind of like reese's!
I only made it because I had all the ingredients on hand. And in the process I got rid of some leftover chunky peanut butter and pretzels.

That looks really yummy. :D

the Potato Candy? No, they aren't fried. I've never had them fried and I'm not sure I would want to do that.

those peanut butter pretzel bars look good.

lol, I was gonna make some flan today, but it's getting late so I was going to make it tomorrow. But now I am torn between making potato candy or flan. Maybe I will make the flan tomorrow and then make potato candy on Saturday.

Otherwise my husband won't eat the flan and will eat the potato candy instead. XD

Maybe. There is a lot of work to potato candy, but it's well worth it. I hope that he likes it, though.

Oh drats. I was hoping that it was going to be easy to make.... O.O

*is worried now*

It takes a lot of time, and a LOT of powdered sugar. Just a warning, the more potatoes used the more sugar needed. The larger the potato, the more sugar needed. I would just start with one smallish potato.

Thanks for the tip! I'll be sure to use the smallest potato. lol. XD
