Our Carrot Roll Cake is light and moist, with bright spring flavors, making it a perfect centerpiece for spring and Easter dessert spreads.

Nutmeg is used in a wide variety of recipes, from baked goods to roasted potatoes, nutmeg also features prominently in various beef and pork spice mixes (in both dry rubs and marinades), as well as in stewed, grilled, and roasted vegetables, as well as in a variety of beverages both warm and cold, alcoholic and non-alcoholic alike.

But few names have lasted in our history books as predominantly as Frederick Douglass and Susan B. Anthony.

Instead of packing the car all the way to the top, use a cargo bag to keep your camping gear up on the roof and out of the way. Speaking of throwing random herbs on the fire, forget marinating your steak for hours before you cook it over the fire. You brought the ham, the cheese, the eggs…well, apparently the eggs didn't find your sweet 4×4 off­-road action as fun as your family did. That doesn't sound like a good time, and while it might make for a good family story, you'll be miserable in the meantime trying to figure out what to do.

We were introduced to Cascarones (Confetti Eggs) the first Easter we lived on the Mexican border. Leave the eggs in the dye for about 2 minutes each and then set them to dry. Once the eggs are completely dry you are ready to fill them with confetti. For faster DIY confetti use a cross cut paper shredder and colorful paper.

From the Sunday Times bestselling author Lisa Gardner, a gripping thriller featuring an ordinary woman who will stop at nothing to find the missing people that the rest of the world has forgotten. Frankie Elkin is an average middle-aged woman with more regrets than belongings who spends her life doing what no one else will: searching for missing people the world has stopped looking for. Resistance from the Boston PD and the victim’s wary family tells Frankie she’s on her own. The fact that so many missing people end up dead, with no-one looking for them is a sad reflection of our society today.

The process also (obviously) involves fermentation, after which the wine is fortified – meaning a distilled spirit is added to the wine. Following fermentation and fortification, sherries deemed of high enough quality are then aged (according to the process described above), and during the aging process a layer of yeast is allowed to develop over the wine, which prevents excessive oxidization. If this process sounds familiar, this is because this is more or less how port wine is produced – except port is fortified halfway through fermentation, rather than after fermentation has been completed. First up, from Williams & Humbert, we’ll be tasting a Canasta Cream, and from Bodegas Hidalgo, we’ll be sampling a Cream Alameda.

I used my griddle pan to get nice lines on them, but you can use a flat frying pan if you do not have a griddle pan. But at the start of this year I decided to see if I could shift the weight. Dave and I follow a Mediterranean lifestyle diet which is easy to summarise as follows. After that, in decreasing amounts are heart healthy oils and dairy; cheese fish and eggs; white meat such as pork and chicken; red meat; and lastly, sweet treats.

Crispy Buttered Chicken is a popular chicken dish in Binondo Philippines where seasoned and lightly coated chicken is deep fried then coated with melted butter. I am not also sure who created them but the one who popularised them was Sincerity Cafe and Restaurant, since then many followed and eateries like Estero, Good Taste Cafe, Ying Ying Tea House and Lido Cocina Tsina do serve them now. Basically it’s a fried chicken dish where chicken pieces are lightly coated in a spiced breading mixture then deep fried to a golden state before drenched in a butter sauce. Each restaurant offers something differently, some have its own secret spices used, some are garlicky, some uses soy sauce which yields a darker colour, some uses a different starch to have a unique crunch but all of them gives that creamy buttery taste which makes people come back for more.
