    Yorkshire Pudding

    I found this recipe on the web almost a year ago and it hasn't let me down once. Btw, the Yorkshire I had in GB was made in a cake pan that must have had an inch of fat in it when the batter was poured in. When you cut a piece of it you had to hold it over the pan to catch the drips of fat...

    Yorkshire Pudding

    I have it on good authority that angels come and take the fat away.....;-):lol: Karrie, if you have a new muffin pan that hasn't been used for anything but Yorkshire Pudding and you brush a bit of the fat up the sides of the muffin cups you can get away with one and a half teaspoons. If you...

    How many here have beef fondue occasionally?

    Jenn we drag our oil fondue out on New Years Eve and it usually gathers dust for the rest of the year. We took it out and fired it up a few days ago and quite enjoyed it. It's the only meal that keeps us at the table for an hour and a half....Very relaxing..;-)

    How many here have beef fondue occasionally?

    That is almost exactly the way we handled it. By the time our kids were about ten or eleven years old they were cooking their own. Both our children are now married and have kids of their own.

    Funny. We have both of the cookers and quite a few recipes for both cheese and chocolate fondue but we've never tried either for some reason.

    We finally had fondue last night. We used beef tenderloin, fresh large mushrooms, and large, raw tiger prawns. We also had a salad, and fresh, homemade bread, as well as a nice bottle of Cabernet Souvignon. The real treat with fondue is that the meal is very leisurely and relaxing and takes...
