I think I would like to come to your house for dinner too.. That sounds so good! It would be great if everyone could get together some day.
My father in law and I love meatloaf. I would love your recipe for it.

I know Carter Cty. well, JGlass. Used to explore the caves up there.

I'm down in Madison Cty., about 30 miles south of Lexington.

As for dinner: come on down. It's only 90 minutes.

You have been to Carter Caves I take it,
Been through them when I was a kid...before I got claustrophobic lol.
I was in Frankfort KY a few years ago for some business my husband had at the Department For The Blind. We didnt get the sight see or anything. I had to get back home and take care of my dog and the fat blue rabbit that is my avatar.

Hi Jg,

I will post the meatloaf recipe in the beef forum section. You know the more I think about your bread the more my mouth waters! The sun-dried tomatoes must really add to the flavor!

Thanks for sharing, Cathy

[KYHeirloomer]

Yeah, Jglass, been to Carter Caves a number of times. Also to the surrounding area---both exploring caves, fishing, and canoeing some of the streams.

If you're near a bookstore (like the one in the park) you'll find a copy of "Hiking Kentucky," the preeminent guide to the trails of Kentucky. I'm the author.

On your bread recipe, I'm guessing I can just mix up the ingredients in my stand mixer, and go on from there? I don't have a bread machine.

[jglass]

Oh yeah you can do it in a stand mixer.
I take the lazy route and let the bread machine do alot lol.
I will definately pick up your book.

Im not sure exactly where I ran across that recipe.
I love pretty much anything with sundried tomatoes.
I took a elderly friend a french bread style loaf of that earlier today.
He is a diabetic so I told him not to eat much bread at once.
I called this evening to see if he liked it. He goes I love it. Im taking it easy though and not eating much at a time..got little less than half left
You guys know how big a loaf of french bread usually is. Less than half in three hours is ALOT of bread. Im gonna have to watch making him bread lol.
I dont want to kill him. His wife just had knee surgery and cant really cook.
Better make them a pot of soup or something next time and skip the bread

[KYHeirloomer]

Im gonna have to watch making him bread lol.
I dont want to kill him.

What if you tried shaping it like an epi loaf? That would determine portion size---provided he realizes that one ear is a portion.

I'm definately going to try this bread, though.

Tonight's menu:

Won-ton cups filled with Maytag-blue cream and gingered pears (starter)

Mahi-Mahi in papaya-port sauce
Pearl cous-cous with tomato
Carrots with ginger & soy

Other than the starter, these are all from the freezer, having been prepared as part of other meals.

[Cook Chatty Cathy]

Dear Kyh,

Can You Post The Recipe For The Mahi-mahi Please!!!!

Thank You, Cathy

[KYHeirloomer]

Actually I can't Cathy. The dish is OK, but nothing spectacular. Certainly not worth the work involved. So I tossed the recipe (Friend Wife had downloaded it from somewhere).

Sorry.
