4 Milk Mexican Flan

Fri, 03 Aug 2007 16:47:39 -0400

Using another of my _and why did I buy this_ ingredients - Media Cream, this recipe was shamelessly borrowed from _Daisy Cooks_ as in Daisy Martinez. Media Crema is sold in cans and found in the ethnic aisle of your grocery. It contains 40 calories and 4 g fat per tablespoon. For comparison, per tablespoon, heavy whipping cream contains 50 calories and 5g fat per while half & half checks in at about 18 calories and 1.5 g of fat.

Traditional English Cumberland Rum Butter

Wed, 02 Jan 2008 00:46:51 -0500

A lightly spiced butter, laced with dark rum - this traditional old recipe originates from the county of Cumberland in the Lake District of Northern England. In Cumberland, rum butter served with oatcakes or buttermilk scones were given to friends who called at the house to see a new baby. In turn they would leave a silver coin, and on the day of the christening, when the butter bowl was empty, the coins were placed in it. A sticky bowl, with plenty of coins sticking to it, meant that the child would never be wanting. The saying goes...... Butter symbolizes the richness of life, sugar the sweetness of life and rum, the spirit of life. Cumberland rum butter is traditionally served with Christmas pudding and mince pies; it also makes a wonderful gift for any new parents or to give throughout the festive season. -- posted by French Tart

Roasted Sweet Plantains

Mon, 02 Jun 2008 22:56:57 -0400

I first had plantains when I moved to the UK and to an area that has a large Caribbean and Nigerian population. They are yummy and sort of like a banana but not exactly as they need to be cooked. This is a really easy way of trying out plantains without being afraid of what to do with them. You don't really need the cooking spray but it wouldn't let me post a recipe with just one ingredient. -- posted by Sarah_Jayne
