Baking....
Comments (8)Ellen, I guess I need more practice, they're supposed to be crysanthemums, LOL. Yes, I'm hostessing the shower. Yes, I know that the maid of honor is supposed to do it, but I did Amanda's too, and my family has never been big on doing what we're "supposed" to do, we tend to do as we darned well please! that includes sending out invitations in single envelopes, instead of that "envelope inside an envelope" stupidity, that's the most wasteful, expensive and silly thing I've ever seen. Ah, well..... Since Amanda jsut got that new job where she's working 3rd shift, I've taken over the shower cooking duties, and I'll get help from the Princess and Bruvver. Fortunately, we'll only have about 40 or 50 people and Ashley wants baked beans, potato salad, vegetable pizza, stromboli, Texas Sheet cake and punch. Like me, she doesn't care for salad, LOL. Maybe a pasta salad, we'll see. Piece of cake, which will not be decorated much. (grin) Oh, and I just set up tables and chairs in the town hall, I can rent the place for $25. I do NOT decorate. Ever. For anyone. Rob, thanks for the good wishes. I do NOT enjoy weddings. I didn't enjoy weddings before I had three in the past 12 months. I didn't enjoy mine, which Elery and I did all the cooking for and I baked the cake then too. I'll just be glad when it's over. and then my nephew is getting married in the fall and he's already asked me to bake the wedding cake. He says that their color scheme is "camoflage", we'll see if the bride goes along with that! Annie...See MoreFreezing baked goods.....
Comments (11)Nearly everything I make on a regular basis ends up portioned in the freezer (bread, muffins, cake, quick breads, dinner rolls, cinnamon rolls, cornbread, scones, burger/hot dog buns...) I make casseroles and entrees in muffin tins and they get wrapped in foil and stored in the freezer. I like to use pop-up foil sheets for one/two items per foil sheet (I buy the foil sheets at Sam's Club in 2 sizes), so I can toss many things (like a couple dinner rolls or cornbread) into the toaster oven and reheat them while baking something else. We also have a "warming center" (burner) on our electric stove and I can reheat some things there (muffins, scones, wrapped in foil) covered with a glass bowl large enough to cover the item/s to keep the heat in while I make breakfast. I never use a microwave oven for reheating, but that certainly is another option. A tight wrap (plastic wrap, foil, even old-fashioned freezer paper using a butcher's wrap technique) is the best method in order to prevent ice crystals from forming. The tight wrap helps prevent the moisture inside the item from migrating through the surface. Putting things loosely in a plastic freezer bag will guarantee the items dehydrate and you'll get ice crystals forming in the bag due to the exposure to oxygen in the bag. I agree with lizbeth-gardener, removing as much air from the food is best for freezer storage. If I need to keep slices separated (sliced quick bread for instance), I'll put a piece of freezer paper between the slices. I keep a pile of the pre-cut freezer paper in sizes I often use. I like to place foil-wrapped items inside a large plastic storage container or basket so they don't get "lost" or crushed, or a zip-lock FREEZER bag will also works, but they tend to get crushed and pushed around in my freezer unless I put them on the storage space on the door. (I only have a side-by-side refrigerator-freezer.) I make a double batch of waffles or large batch of pancakes and I freeze them using this same method. I reheat them in the toaster, toaster oven, or even on the griddle. I even freeze tortillas (homemade or commercial) in portions we normally use. -Grainlady...See MoreAnnT: Cheese Danish Question for you--
Comments (10)Thanks for the super-fast response! Those Danish are such a staple at Christmas on this board that I've just been watching for someone to post about them :) Freezing ahead would be perfect! I can re-heat them a little and then glaze--practically effortless. Thanks again--I can hardly wait to try these!...See MoreAnn T's Cream Cheese Danish Question?
Comments (14)Maggie, If I was going to give one to someone a few days after they were baked, I'd freeze them first.They freeze beautifully. I wait until they are cold and then I wrap them well in plastic wrap and then into either freezer bags or I wrap them in foil and freeze. To defrost I just leave them on the counter. Damn, I wish I had one in the freezer now. It would make a wonderful breakfast today. Ann...See MoreUser
