Wow! Ragmop, you are definitely the champion color name finder! When I have my
first child (heaven forbid, at age 54, with no husband) I'm coming to you for a
name.

However, I think ya'll (that's Texan) have come up with so many better ones
than are on this list. If someone could compile them and then post it for
everyone to keep that would be so helpful. I'll try, but don't count on
getting it anytime before then millinium!

outta the blue, picked the Cardinals (and by default, Big Mac).
YEEEE-HAH, Helen!)

The very best pancakes Kim ever made used mashed yams/sweet potatoes and
whole wheat flour and a few other things, including chopped pecans. I
know it doesn't fit all the color names, but mashed sweet potatoes in
dough/batter can be VERY nice indeed.
And I know this isn't in your colors either, but... a little coarsely
chopped crystallized ginger in the mashed sweet potatoes is just
fantastic.

Isn't is great that we picked such a great baseball team. Since I grew up in St.
Louis, I of course wouldn't have picked anyone else. I went to many ballgames
this year and seen a lot of Big Mac's homeruns. I even put the offer on the table
to our very own Miss Sarah to come to St. Louis and I would take her. I even have
field box seats. Lot of balls hit our direction.
It has been a great year even though we finished 19 games out of first but it was
still very thrilling. I'm just proud to say I'm from St. Louis. There are even
thinking of re-naming one of our major highways to Mark McGwire Interstate 70. I
think that was the whole name.
I've had fun in the baseball swap too. I don't know what I'm gonna do without it.
Can't wait till next year.

In one of my "Martha-inspired" moments last fall, I seized on a recipe from
the local paper to make your own homemade crystallized ginger. It took a
while, but boy did it sure make the house smell good!

Must have been wonderful! This thread now reminds me of one of our
favorite the-holidays-are-approaching cooking tasks: making candied
citrus peel. Torrey in particular LOVES the stuff, and it's a great way
to make the kitchen smell like orange zest, lemon, or whatever variety
of peel you've managed to save.
The best part... I call this "making heaven out of trash." You take
stuff you're normally going to throw away -- the peels from oranges,
lemons, grapefruit, tangerines, limes -- blanch them lightly in boiling
water for a few minutes, then cook them in sugar syrup (equal parts
sugar & water) till they're translucent and most of the water is
evaporated.
Take them out of the sugar-water mixture, roll them in dry granulated
sugar, and set them on a drying rack. When they're cool and dry,
they're *wonderful* -- fragrant, incredibly piquant to bite into, and
just busrting with the brilliance of summer.
Some people like to dip these in chocolate and serve them as elegant
home-made dessert goodies. We always figure we'll use the candied peel
in various holiday baking tasks (it's the ONLY thing to put in Dresdener
stollen, for example, and WORLDS better than the candied peel you get in
the store), but the stuff never seems to last... I nibble a piece, Kim
snacks on a couple, the kids take a few as they pass, and the next thing
you know the jar has nothing but some citrus-scented sugar granules in
the bottom.
Good stuff, though.
(WORST thing I ever did this way: candied ripe red serrano chiles. MAN
that was bad! Oh, yeah, they tasted incredibly great when you first bit
into them, sweet AND hot all at once, but what I hadn't figured on was
that candied chile peppers stick to your teeth. And when something as
hot as a serrano gets stuck to your teeth, it keeps leaching capsaicin
into your gums, your tongue, your cheeks, anything it touches. I named
these little things "Napalm Nuggets" shortly before I threw them all
away...)

Oh Thanks a lot Boyd - now I'm craving my favorite type of pancakes - honey and
oatmeal. *sigh* I know what my family is having for breakfast tomorrow.
