this is a hoot!Somebody somewhere likes it though,, or they just stuck it in the book to fill a page,,
I often wonder how they come up with these recipes... Its really a great read here everytime loving the knowledge of what is out there. I went to a book flea market and saw thousands of cookbooks the other day and though wow you would be the perfect person to bring with me... its like a critic for movies but with recipes... I just love it!
I've always wanted to make a retro ring mold recipe...but I don't have a ring and the all the ones I see at thrift stores have rust spots on them...but I don't want to make this recipe it seems too plain and a waste of pecans...thanks so much for sharing a link to my recipe.
To me, this just sounds like an old fashioned stuffing/dressing recipe put into a ring pan. I'd sub in some chicken or turkey broth for the milk, though.
As soon as I saw the title of this recipe, I started laughing, before I even visited your page. Sunset again....I bought a couple of cooking magazines last night and in one of them was an advertisement for a Sunset cookbook. I thought of you, lol! Thanks for my Wednesday laugh Melynda!
Ground celery? Huh? Do you like put it in a food processor and mush it up? And fill it with what? Sweetmeats? Come on now!!
I've never heard of ground celery! Everything ground? I just cannot picture how this will look like! Thanks for sharing, Melynda! :)
LOL. That is so funny!
Not too appealing but that Pork Roast was a big hit. I forgot to defrost it so I stuck it in the crockpot frozen and smeared the mixture over it. 8 hours later we had a perfect roast.
I am not a fan of celery, this one looks like too spicy.
You picked a good one this week! Or maybe I should say a bad one. That sounds just plain icky! Thanks for including me!
Weird. I can't even fathom this dish. And you are right--a lot of work for something creepy. Lots of good links though.
Hi Melinda,
I just took a seat.Lovely post and I enjoyed reading.
Hi Melynda,
We really ate that? I can tell that you are having so much fun in those old books. Thanks for your feature about my White Cake, it is an oldie but goodie at our house. Thanks for sharing and hope you are having a great day!
