<br /><br />
Guess what I'm making this weekend... blackberry cobbler. Hey, with home-made ice cream. Yum!! Thanks Link. How many should I expect? <br />Bassy
Ok I deserved that! <br /><br />I'm a man and I can change, if I have to, I Guess!

<br /><br />I think I'm going to plan a trip (don't know when) with Mrs.Link to Texas. I was born in Houston but moved when very young and have never been back expect for work a couple times at Ft Hood and we never got off the base.<br /><br />We plan to retire in about 9 more years and I'd love to get out of here even if it was for only 6 months at a time. And Texas is sure sounding good by all the posts around here. Pssst dont tell Mrs.Link.

<br /><br />Ive never seen Old Bay Seasonings around here but am going to look tomorrow. If I cant find it Ill do a seperate post on this but if you want to try a recipe that calls for it and cant find it there either, here is what I found.. Mrs.Link and MIL want to try ASPECKS squash recipe tomorrow night.<br /><br />Would most likely be better fresh anyway<br />--------------------------------------<br />Question: <br />Really like your site! Provides lots of fantastic variety to our routine weekly family menus. Thanks a lot! <br />From you biographical info, I see you are in Oregon. I thought the "Old Bay seasoning" called for in the crab cakes must be regional, but since I am in Forks, Washington, I must just not know this seasonong. Where can I find it, and is there a suggested substitute? - Doug Ferris (11/6/99) <br /><br />Answer: <br />Check with your grocery store manager -- Often Old Bay is found in the seafood section or with the gourmet spices. If you still can't find it, following is a recipe for the seasoning. <br /><br />OLD BAY SEASONING <br /><br />1 tablespoon celery seeds <br />1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns <br />6 bay leaves <br />1/2 teaspoon whole cardamoms <br />1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds <br />4 whole cloves <br />1 teaspoon sweet Hungarian paprika <br />1/4 teaspoon mace <br /><br />In a spice grinder or small food processor, combine all of the ingredients. Grind well and store in a small glass jar. Best if used within 6 months (date your jar).
