Recipe Question

Post by Anna »

Is there a reason why I don't see anyone post recipes on this forum ?

Just curious.

I've got some family recipes that were passed down to me if noone minds if I post them here.

The reason you don't see recipes on this forum is because the site is intended for Beaver Island related topics. If you have a recipe that great-great grandma Bridget brought over from Arranmore, go for it!

Personally, if I want a recipe, I go to a Recipe Site, if I want news/comments about Beaver Island I come to this site. :roll:

Recipes

Post by Anna »

Suzieq I've seen more then just News/Comments about the Island on this forum.
I too am able to hunt for recipes on-line if I want them.

I only posted what I did because I was curious and I also wanted to share. Isn't that what this forum is all about ? Sharing ideas,and maybe even some humor.

That's no reason to use the rolling eye icon at me. I don't feel my query deserved the response it got from you. I meant no one any harm. :(

Sheesh. This is the "Main Beaver Island Open Discussion Forum", as for as I can tell. I do believe that recipes fall under open discussion.

I'm interested anyway, Anna. :)

If anyone is interested, I have a recipe for a Christmas Ale.
5.5 gallons will be bottled tonight.

Does Beaver Island have any homebrewers?

I'm interested.

I'm a homebrewer, and a soon-to-be commerical wine and hard cider maker. I'm not on the island though. Yet. :)

I've never seen fennel in a beer. How does it turn out with all of those spices? I tried growing hops - the chickens ate the plants when they came up.

I mail-order nearly 100% of my brewing supplies anyway. :)

I'll know in a couple weeks. Might get a taste tonight.
Fennel would add a bit of a licorice flavour. I tried it once in a stout and it worked out rather well.

I tried replicating Great Lakes Brewing Co's. Christmas Ale this time around.

recipies

Post by BERNIE MILLER »

hi anna, I just wanted to say that some of the best food, made and created by the best cooks, I have ever had, has been on the island. I personally would love to see some traditional Beaver Island recipies being posted but that is just me. have you ever checked out the Beaver Island cookbook. It was put together several years ago and it is a fun book to use. I can not seem to remember if it is still sold. Maybe some one else knows??

Place the potato-crusted salmon filets in the pan. Cook until browned, 3-4 minutes,then turn and brown on the other side,2-3 min.

Transfer the salmon filets to a non-stick cookie sheet and place in the prheated oven to keep warm.

Hello Bernie

Post by Anna »

Bernie,
No I haven't had the pleasure regarding the Beaver Island cookbook.

I've never seen anything about these well known excellent cooks nor their recipes mentioned on this forum. I would love it if those people would post some of their recipes.





I once made up my own recipe for perparing pork chops but now I can't recall what ingredients I used. Maybe I'm in training for my senior moments :lol:

Anna,

Sorry if I offended you with the rolling eyes. It was meant as a joke. (Humor)

If you scroll to the bottom of this page it tells you the purpose of this forum and I believe that's the way it should be. But that's just my opinion.

I've already had the pleasure of reading the purpose of this forum.

Since someone has already mentioned that there is a Beaver Island Cookbook created by the excellent cooks on the Island then I would think that the "Recipe" question I posted earlier on this thread would be a suitable topic for this forum for discussion. Wouldn't you agree ? :-)

You didn't really offend me I was using some humor too.

Martha Miller's candy apple recipe

Post by Kathleen Dvoracek »

Bernie - Do you have your mom's candy apple recipe? Every year around Halloween I think of your mom because of her tradition of giving them. As a kid, they were the best part of Halloween!
