    My only experience with almond extract is adding it to my cherry pie filling. About how much almond extract would you recommend using? I'm not that familiar with it. 1/4 teaspoon?

    I just looked at that recipe. Do you mix all the wet together and then add it? The recipe looks like you put each wet ingredient into the well and then mix it all together.

    I love you guys!! I don't know how we ever would have managed without your advice and guidance. I can't wait to start experimenting. Bought a box of Auntie tonight (before reading the rest of your comments). Tell me this - how do y'all feel about powdered buttermilk? I started keeping a...

    Breaking In

    Thanks for coming across as a real person looking for some perspective rather than a slick sales person. Personally, we don't have the budget for fancy coffee. We buy MaxHse and get compliments from our guests who are shocked to find out what brand it is. If we had to take inventory, place...

    Do y'all make your pancakes big & give them two? Or medallion size three count? Do tell. When we do waffles (we give them 3 of the four quarters) or french toast, we serve with bacon and scrambled eggs on the same plate. I have to have protein (eggs) with my breakfast, so I try to make sure...

    I have a single-serve applesauce floating around my fridge that I've been wanting to use in my muffins. I agree that it adds a nice change to baked goods aside from making them healthier. Maybe oats and applesauce are tricks I should try. Thanks!

    Do you think quick-cook oats (raw) would work out? I've seen some recipes that call for soaking the oats overnight. Wonder if that would help since I don't ever have cooked oatmeal sitting around waiting for a purpose.

    Good tips. Yes, my griddles are an issue. And if I have to keep turning them so they don't burn, it ruins their fluffiness. My griddles gauges are by temperature - I do my bacon at 325*. What do you recommend? Do you warm your plates? I tried that, but then they were too hot for me to...

    I've really got this idea in my head against serving things that some people won't like. Ok, don't laugh... While I think my chocolate chip waffles are orgasmic (yes, I said it and it's true!!!) I don't think all my guests would agree. The majority of my clientele are retirees, so I try not...

    Pancakes

    We've been getting repeated requests for pancakes. We've never done them for several reasons. I want to start experimenting with pancake recipes in hopes of hearing, "These are the best pancakes I've ever had!" I'm not looking for fancy (I've done the lemon ricotta pancakes), I'm looking for a...

    Fruten Glee!

    I've been very disappointed in his show for a long time. For awhile he was giving great medical information with effective visuals and back-up data. But, you are all right, now every time I see him he's touting facial injections, tummy firming vibration therapy, stupid crap like that. It's a...

The couple will operate the five-room inn, serving both dinner and breakfast, as well as providing ferry service for guests and all other tasks from chef to maid. They're not...

    Your thoughts on Indoor Google Streetview?

    My, my isn't that interesting.

    I got smug.

    LOL I always ask at check-in, "Do any of you have any food allergies or anything you WON'T eat?" Had a guy tell me no Tree Nuts when he checked in. At breakfast, I put his plate down and he quickly picked it up, "I don't eat pork, but I didn't touch them. You can have it back." Moron... Same...

    Crepe maker

    Yes, I let it sit. Thought crepes were supposed to be real thin. But, a little extra flour and thickness would definitely help the problem. I quickly figured out that I needed to add less ingredients and treat it gently. I'm the proverbial "Bull in a China Shop". Not much gets treated...

    A new policy

    Mom was proud of me for owning a business, until she realized I clean toilets for a living That's my favorite. When we talk to anyone about work, it's always "we clean toilets".

    Crepe maker

    The only two issues I had were: 1- The green onions in the crepe did not cook thoroughly when I made the crepes. Needed to cut them much thinner. But, it was still good. 2 - The crepe is so darn thin, it rips easily.

    I got smug.

    That's insane (as is she). I agree with the others - just ask her what she normally eats and give her that. We've done that several times when we were stumped and it all worked out. Recently, a lady brought her own cereal and milk We made her a fruit cup. She was content. Good luck. I say...
