Making spinach ravioli with my new one dollar estate sale ravioli tray
with little rolling pin, which makes two dozen one-inch ravioli at a
time, which is good for strongly flavored ones like spinach and
mushroom, whereas my old one which made two-inchers is better for milder
ones like pesto ricotta. I use some spinach juice to tint the pasta so
you can tell the difference between the spinach ones and the mushroom
ones when they are in a bag in the freezer. You idiots.

SAY, that cranberry rhubarb pie sure satisfies your craving for
cranberry rhubarb pie. Some pies you wish you could keep eating and
eating but this one, one piece is plenty. If I were to do it again I
would chop up the cranberries first because they can be kind of bitter
when whole, but I'm NOT. It's not the worst pie I ever made.

I actually read that whole thing. I feel so proud of myself. It's

them but you feel like you've accomplished something.

That would have been the Sardine Icebox pie, right?

Close. Vinegar pie. Unfortunately tastes exactly like vinegar. Well
why would they have a recipe for it if it tastes horrible?

Roman soldiers mixed vinegar with their water.
Its called posca. That's what made 'em so mean.

Try serving that next next time for drinks at dinner.

Add frozen orange juice concentrate with the cranberries, it counteracts
the bitterness.

This Church needs a whole lot more frozen orange juice.

For flavor. Think of it as a Key Lime Pie, but without the Key Limes.

So, a guy walks into the bar and says to the bartender,
"Hey, I'd like to buy that old douchebag at the end of the bar a drink!"

The bartender says, "Well THAT wasn't a very nice thing to say about
that lady,
now was it?"

The guy then says, "You're right, allow me to buy a drink
for the lady at the end of the bar."

"That's better", says the barkeep.
So he then strolls to the end of the bar and says to the lady,
"Ma'am, the gentleman at the other end of the bar
would like to buy you a drink, what would you like?"

And she says, "A vinegar and water!"

Too salty, I'd imagine!

But there are some recipes for Amish Whoopie Pies with vinegar.

And I remember as a kid, we'd pull taffy made with a little vinegar, too!

Vinegar Taffy

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp vinegar
1 tsp vanilla or other flavoring such as orange or lemon, or use 1/2 tsp
peppermint, or 1 oz bitter chocolate, grated.

Cook sugar, water, corn syrup, salt and vinegar until a few drops of the mixture
will make a hard ball in cold water, 260 degrees on a candy thermometer.

Pour onto a greased dish or platter, sprinkle flavoring over top and turn the
outer edges of the candy in toward the center until cool and firm enough to
handle. Best results are obtained in pulling if the tips of the thumbs and
fingers are dipped in cornstarch or fat. Use only the fingertips to pull taffy.

When mixture can be handled, take up and pull out with both hands. Fold over and
pull out again. As the mixture becomes cooler and the longer it is pulled, it
will become stiffer and can be pulled out in a longer strand. Pull until it is
difficult to pull out and the mixture seems quite firm.

Pull into long thin strips and cut immediately with greased scissors and roll
each piece in powdered sugar or wrap in wax paper. Store cooled taffy in an air
tight container in a cool dry place.

If the taffy sugars, it can be recooked by putting it in a pan with 2 Tbsp corn
syrup and 1/4 cup water. Stir until dissolved and then recook according to
original directions.

Finely chopped nuts or fruit, as well as other flavorings, are added as the taffy
is being pulled.

Are you kidding? We're talking about a man who mysteriously EXHALES
vinegar fumes despite chewing on lemon rinds like they were tobacco or
Oxycontin or lemonade-flavored Oxycontin, the kind RUSH likes! I'm
surprised he doesn't make vinegar biscuits and candy.

I'll bet if you sprinkled Nenslo's urine around your gardens, NO
animals would intrude by crossing THAT line. Of course, it might kill
off the insects that pollinate the flowers, if not wither the flowers
themselves. Well, its not like I am seeking to try this, but its a
reasonable assumption.

Say, if holy water burns a vampire, I wonder what Nenslo-pee would do?

Flavoring. The twisted rationale behind it is that it was some sort of
Pioneer concoction intended as a replacement for lemon pie when there
were no lemons. Simply imagine a delicious looking lemon cream pie only
reeking and tasting exactly like a big swig of vinegar straight out of
the jug. But with sugar. Terrible. Beats out Green Tomato pie by a
long shot.

Well yeah, that is for the chemical reaction. I make that too. And
that is why I thought Vinegar Pie must be some kind of yummy treat which
would not taste like vinegar at all but I was horribly horribly wrong.

Now that you have admitted that its possible, you've opened the
floodgates. Those rubber bullets will sting like a mofo. Vinegar Pie....
duh, if you'd started with graham cracker crumbs, Cool Whip and mushroom
slices like SENSIBLE people do, you wouldna had half the trouble.

Those pioneers weren't too bright, were they? Why didn't they just pop
down to the deli and pick up a little aged balsamic vinegar? It would
have tasted much better.
