OT-Seed Cake was .... Time for another Roll Call?
I once had opium poppies grow 3 feet tall - I saved the seeds and threw them
into the garden and not one flower germinated. I have a pic somewhere with my DD standing beside them. Will dig it out and put a link to it. Di "Dee in Oz" wrote in message ...

One of my most unfavourite memories of my childhood.
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.

Thanks, everyone, for your support. I don't start Round 2 until next
Wednesday, I feel pretty good right now. Hair is still in place, but I think round two is the one that does it in. I decided to wait until the signs for losing my hair kicks in before I cut it. (It would be my luck to cut it have it NOT fall out! Not expecting that, but still!) But I bought the wig. Been dyeing my own hair for so long I forgot what my original color was, and I intended to buy a color close to what it is now. Just for the heck of it, I tried on a darker one - and it looked more like ME! I was with a friend who knew me when and we both thought so.

I'm with you Tamara! I think that kitchens should be a place big enough
only to hold a telephone and take-out/delivery menus. Everything else is a waste! Mary in Mesa Kamalaleah wrote: I'll go next. My name is Tamara and live in Northern California with my chocolate!!! The only reason I have a kitchen is it came with the house. Tamara |

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.

In the States, it can be hard to find seed for poppies. The Govt.
prohibits the sale and propagation of Papaver somniferum, but if you go to the store and buy a jar of poppy seeds for baking, you're getting the same thing. I tried germinating some from the bottle, and they worked fine, as long as they were fairly fresh. The ones I got, 2/$1 at Wally World, hadn't been heated or treated, and their shelf life was about two years, and a lot cheaper than catalog seeds. My DD#2 used to spit up very frequently, so much so that her nickname was Barfie, and my Grandma taught me to make a tisane for her of caraway seeds with a little sugar. She liked it a lot better than plain water, and the carminative action helped to relieve her gas and upchucking. It's a folk remedy for flatulence, too. Maria in NE PA be sure they are the right kind of poppies. there is only one kind of poppy seeds you can use to bake with the others are toxic. its the seeds from the opium poppy oddly enough. in the usa the growing of those poppys is strictly monitored by the govt apparently. this was just info i found online. you might find otherwise and it might be different in oz as well. beats heck outta me, j. |
