Happy return: Has anyone heard of Shamrock Farms Dairy? I discovered this milk at Sprouts, omg I love this milk. I don't know what it is about it, but it tastes amazing. Sprouts is the only grocery store around here that sells it. I believe it comes out of Phoenix, Az. If you ever come across it give it a try. They also have cottage cheese. www.shamrockfarms.net. I don't use milk very often, but I love it in my coffee and it froths great.

On Wednesday's Andrea and I volunteer at a senior living facility here in Tampa. We instruct the residents in making baskets. Here are a couple of our basket weavers. Every Wednesday we make a treat to take with us. So this past Wednesday we took, Applicious Sheet Cake. It neat because it uses apples 3 ways, Apple Butter, dried apples and regular apples (I used ambrosia apples, but I would think you could use whatever is your favorite.) I found the recipe for the apple cake in a Shape Magazine years ago in a section called Sweet (not even sure this magazine is around any more.) They ladies fell for it 'hook line and sinker.' I'll post the recipe for you.
Also, the other night we made a squash recipe that was to die for, Cashew, Coconut and Squash Curry. I found it in Sunset Magazine. It did not have the usual curry taste so don't get turned off by the sound of it, the recipe uses curry leaves instead of curry power. I will post this recipe as well. We bought the curry leaves at the Asian market, Oceanic Oriental Supermarket
on Tampa St. but I believe you can also buy them at most Indian markets as well. In the recipe I mentioned we used 1 Serrano chili, the heat was mild, so if you like it hot you might want to use two. Don't forget that onions and I don't agree so we use shallots. You should definitely try this, it is a keeper. You can also substitute other things for the squash, like shrimp or tofu.

I couldn't think of any other way to post the recipes without having to retype them.
It's good to be back, I've been away too long. I will try to be more consistent with posting.
