Recipes needed to use up a 4 pound jicama
My neighbor gets a misfit vegetable box delivery and gives me what she doesn't want or recognize, which lately included a 4 pound jicama. Now, I like jicama, but didn't think there was any way we can finish 4 pounds worth, however, several people on the garden thread convinced me to try. All I've done previously was add it…

US coronavirus stimulus payment may require you to have filed a tax return for 2018 or 2019
I have some friends and family who are not required to file tax returns and have let them know about this, and thought I would do the same for my MFP family. (You can still file a return even if you are not required to do so.) Disclaimers:* This is pending legislation, not yet law. It has passed the Senate and is expected…

Bread of the Week
So I seem to have developed a pattern of trying a new yeast bread recipe each week. Last week it was these: https://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/potato-onion-rye-rolls-recipe and previously I've made the ATK Almost No Knead bread, and Milk Street's pita bread. I used to be terrible at moderating fresh homemade bread,…

Cleaning and using old iron crank meat grinder
Some time ago, my Mom was going to get rid of her old meat grinder, so I brought it home. I recently ended up with too much chuck stew beef, so am going to grind some of it for a recipe calling for ground beef. It's a little rusty - any suggestions for cleaning it? And then tips for using it? I've read the parts and meat…

Pumpernickel bread recipes?
Anyone have any good pumpernickel bread recipes? I'm looking at https://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/classic-pumpernickel-bread-recipe but am not sure about the potatoes. I have rye flour which I assume I can use in place of the pumpernickel. I'd also like to use a higher proportion of wheat to rye flour. I'm also…

Mixing cookie dough by hand vs stand mixer
I'm not in love with my stand mixer, an ancient Sunbeam I inherited from my OH's mother. Never the less, when a recipe calls for it, I use it. It certainly doesn't save me any time or dishes, and I hate motor noise, so I'm wondering if there are any technical reasons I should be using a stand mixer. The particular recipe…

Attn: pizza makers - are pizza peels worth it? Which one?
Because I don't have a pizza peel to transfer uncooked pizza, I haven't been preheating my cast iron pizza pan like several of my recipes say to do. I did preheat the pan when I made pita bread last weekend and really liked how the pitas came out. However, when I went to Amazon to buy a peel I was overwhelmed by all the…
