Caraway seeds (Was Time for another Roll Call?)
I think caraway is one of those things that a lot of people love and a
lot of people hate. I'm in the "love" category, but it can be a rather strong flavor, so I can see why people might not like it. I've never had it in a cake, but have a couple bread recipes with caraway that I really like. My Potato Soup recipe (from "Recipes for a Small Planet") calls for both caraway and dill seeds.

Caraway Seedcake, I used to spend hours trying to pick out all the seeds, even then the flavour lingered. I could never cope with it, but everyone else loved it I'm just awkward I suppose. Ruth Sydney. "Sally Swindells" wrote in message ... My Granny made seed cake - a plain cake - prob. 2 eggs, 4oz margerine, 4 oz. of self-raising flour and 4 oz sugar, with caraway seeds in. |

Poppy seed muffins are good, with either almond or lemon flavor.

Poppy seed cake isn't common but as you saw it is available Every year I get poppies coming up in the garden, considering the number of seeds that I throw back in the garden maybe I should save them and make a cake....lol Dee in Oz "nzlstar*" wrote in message http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/sear...e&publication= poppy seeds perhaps, Dee. those little teeny tiny black seeds. sometimes seen on top of breads, muffins etc. just did some googling and reading on this. the seeds were used in ancient greece for athletes to boost their energy, hmmmm. seems the baking seeds do indeed come from the opium poppy. other poppys seeds are toxic. also you can apparently toss the seeds you buy at the supermarket into the soil in autumn for flowers the following spring/summer. what you do with all the seed pods harvested could be interesting. in usa growing them is under strict control and illegal by private citizens. gee, i wonder why, lol. ) poppy seeds can have an effect on the results of tests done on athletes after competition. i dont have the details tho. j.

OT fat cookies was-Seed Cake was ....
On Wed, 06 Feb 2008 03:05:55 GMT, Taria wrote: You should taste my apricot Kolache. I keep a stash of home grown apricots in the freezer for them. I do my dough in the bread machine these days. I have done other fillings but the apricots are so good I just usually go with those. I'll do a couple of trays next week to take to dad's. We do a remembrance day on mom's birthday every year. Funny though she never much baked like grandma did. I don't do the yeast style ones. I do the sour cream pastry ones. I only done biscotti once. For a cookie they are pretty low fat so I should do them more. Maybe tomorrow? You do realie that a LOT of the eastern european cookie recipes that call for sour cream can be very low fat, right? Some of the Scandanavian ones too. I baked Norwegian kringle recently. They have no shortening to begin with, and using low fat sour cream worked just fine. They are a bready little cinnamon cookie. You just have to experiment with the lower fat sour creams to see which ones work. Overall, even using full fat sour cream a lot of the recipes are lower fat because they take little or no added shortening. Even when they do call for butter, it is usually not a lot and using a low fat sour cream can balance that out over the batch of three or four dozen cookies. Especially with things like the pastry style kolache, or the ones I can't pronounce (let alone spell!) but translate as "love letters" (1) according to the cookbook I got them from, where you have almost as much filling as you do cookie. Biscotti are sneaky. Some of them have as much fat as a drop cookie, but they have a rep so a lot of people don't think about it. One of the reasons I make my own food by preference. I know what goes into it. I'm not a total food nazi, when you need something for a dish you need it, but there is no reason to eat overmuch of something without knowing it. That goes for fats, sugars, salt, and many other things. If we are having fried corn with supper, I don't want much more fat and sugar on the table that night for example. DH might grump about having a cornstarch sauce instead of a roux gravy, and yeast bread instead of biscuits, on the table with it, but there is no call to put a pound of fat on the table for one meal if you don't have to. Mind feast days get an exemption being special occasions. But a rich meal a couple of times a year is within reason. They are balanced by fast days anyhow. NightMist (1) a cinnamon meringue with walnuts (black walnuts by preference) folded in, in a QST folded square of pastry -- Nothing has been the same since that house fell on my sister. |

I agree ... I think of caraway seeds as belonging with a savory food, not a
sweet. Caraway is nice in cabbage dishes, including Cole slaw and sauerkraut. Now, poppy seed bread or cake is a cake of a different color, so to speak! I love that stuff. PAT "Hanne Gottliebsen" wrote in message news:foct4a$1jg$1@qmul... Me too! And _nothing_ will disguise the taste or the smell of them. I never heard of them in cake, but in bread (white or black), sure! And in cheese too. Each to their own, I suppose :-) Hanne in London Shirley Shone wrote: You are not on your own Ruth, I have always detested Caraway seed cake. Shirley |

Haven't had it for years, maybe I'll bake this weekend Lizzy YEP!! Caraway seeds, but i use a plain yellow cake mix. easier and faster and tastes just as good!!! amy in CNY Victoria sponge cake is so easy though And that way I know my eggs are free range. As well as being so much better for the hens, the free range eggs over here in the UK are also largely salmonella free which means the boys can enjoy licking the bowl and the beaters . Lizzy |

Time for another Roll Call?
Thanks for the new roll call!
Let's see...I'm still a SAHM living in central MA. I still quilt when time permits. I still prefer to hand-piece and hand-quilt ( and yes, I'm still a procrastinator 'extraordinaire' so it takes forever to complete any project! ). I'm still involved in rubber stamping/card making, knitting, and needlework. I've added yet another hobby: I'm learning to paint in the watercolour medium. Our DDs are growing up before our eyes. They are in the 6th and 4th grades, respectively. DD#1 took a quilt class and made a crazy "quilt-ette" so the tradition is being passed along! I spent the annual RCTQ Quilt Week mentoring her in the intricacies of hand-piecing and embellishing with embroidery. - dlm. in central MA |

It was a lovely way to spend the week. I'm almost ready to turn her loose on my stash. She has her eyes set on some lovely Robyn Pandolph FQs that I've been hoarding for years. They were just too pretty for me to cut up, but I'll let her have them! LOL One more thing that I forgot to mention...I STILL love chocolate and coffee! All the better if the two are combined. So, if anyone has either ( or both ) that they need to have checked out, I'm more than willing to give it a go. S - dlm. in central MA |

FAO Sunny
I've obviously clicked on something and reordered, which has ended up
with me reading some threads that I hadn't read before, but are a couple of weeks old. I found this from Sunny. So I quilt. Don't sew. Not crafty. Have one dog -- Jojo. He's a beast. I live in Washington State about 3 miles inland from Seattle. Love it. I cannot imagine why we spent 20 years in Phoenix. For some reason I thought you were in Eastern Washington, Sunny, you must live very close to me. We need to compare notes about shops, you've said you've had some difficulty with sewing machine shops, I've had wonderful experiences! Cheers Anne |
