Looks nice.

Unfortunately, I don't have a spiralizer. I'm not sure that I'd even have counter space for one, what with having already on it the Speedy Slicer, Veg-O-Matic, Handy Peel, Vegetti, Hostess Twinkie Electric Maker, Rapid Ramen Cooker, Miracle Blade Ceramic Knife Set, Talking Kitchen Scale, Moo Mixer, Apple Pro Peeler, Provita Nutrition Maximizer Blender, Easy Eggwich, Smart Planet Super Pretzel Maker, and Hostess Mini Cupcake Maker Electrice Cupcake Maker. hahah. In case you don't realize it, I'm joking. But, all of the above are actual "As Seen on TV" kitchen gadgets (with the possible exception of the Veg-O-Matic)!

In all seriousness, great posts. Thanks.

There's a joke about the dump cakes that I make, but I'll save it for later.

It so happens that I gave my niece a Spiralizer for Christmas. Her present included the cookbook.

I had no idea that you could buy a Hostess Twinkie Electric Maker. I wonder if the shelf life of the home made ones are the heat death of the universe, like the commercial ones?

I suppose that "weelicious" comes the name of the author's website, weelicious.com, and I suppose that that comes from the fact that the recipes on the website are for children. Get it? Wee, children? ha

Give kids some choice—strategically allow them to have more input and control over what goes into their bodies so they can “own” their choices.
From first-food favorites such as Sweet Potato-Coconut Puree and The Teething Cookie to family-friendly Veggie Nuggets, Rice Cooker Mac and Cheese, Chicken on a Stick, Shrimp Tacos, and Cheesy Chicken Taquitos to treats like Banana Bread Cake, Raspberry-Cream Cheese Heart Tarts, and Chocolate Velvet Beet Cupcakes, these recipes are perfect for little taste buds and sophisticated adult palates alike—and best of all, every single recipe has been created with health and wholesomeness in mind.

I don't think so. Not distilled alcohol. But, maybe it is permitted in certain jurisdictions.

I'm a nondrinker, so my knowledge on some things will be weak. But, if memory serves me correctly, "distilled" alcoholic beverages have the alcohol content artificially increased by the distillation process. Maybe people using the phrase "distilled beverages" also would include in the meaning of that phrase beverages which are "fortified," I think that the word is, in which alcohol is added directly to the beverage in order to bump up the alcohol content.

I spoke of alcohol content being "artificially increased." The natural process of fermentation will produce an alcohol content of only a maximum of around 10%. That is because (again, if memory serves me correctly) at that point the alcohol that the yeast produced will start killing the yeast! I think that beer and some wines (the unfortified ones) have the alcohol content that they do solely from natural processes--no distillation or fortification is involved.

I think that just about everywhere in the U.S. a person is allowed to make his or her own beer, wine, or other non-distilled, non-fortified alcoholic beverages, as long as it is not sold and maybe also with the qualification that it is just for their own personal use.

Making distilled beverages with their higher (potentially much higher) alcohol content are a different matter. Again, I don't think that it would be allowed anywhere or much of anywhere in the U.S. In the U.S., at least, there is this drink called "moonshine" that people make (it seems like the "stills" that I have seen in photos and videos always have a car radiator and curling copper tubing involved); it used to be done much more than it is today. Moonshine is a distilled beverage and it's illegal to make it. Part of the reason is that there isn't the quality control that there would be elsewhere and people have died from drinking it--seems that if you're not careful the still will make methyl alcohol (methanol), too, which is deadly, along with the ethyl alcohol (ethanol) which will make you happy. But I'm sure that part of the reason, too, is that it's distilled.

Mobilereaders, help me out! Tell me about my inaccuracies.

[KyBunnies]

I know in Kentucky it is legal to make any beverage for personal use only. If you make with the intent to sell then that is a problem. If you make moonshine and sell it then the DEA will be after you and you will go to jail for years. There was a man in Virginia that the DEA did this to after he sold the moonshine he made. He was a very old man and just trying to supplement his income.

Good shine is clear as water and does not have much of a smell. it will have a nice smooth taste and does not burn the mouth or when going down. However when it hits the stomach it burns like fire. This is good shine.

If the person does not know about making shine then it will be cloudy or brown. It will have a strong smell and taste. Will burn the mouth and going down. Basically this is rot-gut / bath-tub gin. Horrible and not worth drinking because you will feel worse after waking up from the drunk.

Moonshine will have an alcohol content between 140 - 200%. It varies on how it is fermented/processed.

Disclaimer: No I do not make moonshine personally but I do know the process and what is classified as good shine or bad shine.

Note to GA Russell: The commonwealth (usually misrepresented as a "state") of Kentucky is, let's say . . . . "different" in a lot of ways, to put it kindly. haha

Just kidding. I love Kentucky. I grew up there. Close family live there. I just told KyBunnies the other day that I was fond of it.

Great information. Not something that you could get from Wikipedia.

Oh Yeah. Kentucky is different is a lot of ways. That is why we are hillbillies and walk around barefoot so much. We do not know any different.

But, to bring things back to cookbooks and recipes (the purpose of this thread. uhum (*clearing throat*)), there are some great dishes that have come out of Kentucky. Like Derby pie. Yum. I wish that I had a big piece now. Now I won't be able to get my mind off of it. Maybe a chocolate chip cookie will suffice.

[GtrsRGr8]

Cookbooks are always a crowd-pleaser. ha

Everyone wants to know about cookbooks if there are photos of the dishes after they've been repaired. Yes there are photos of the dishes.
