Crisp

When I first moved to western North Carolina it was August and I had just left steamy, hot, overcrowded Florida. I had always loved North Carolina and was over the moon about finally living here. But when I discovered the bounty of local summer vegetables and how easy it was to get fresh ripe South Carolina peaches, I thought I had died and gone to heaven. A short drive east of the Brevard area yo

We don't always do healthy recipes here at Easy Desserts, but this one is definately a healthy choice. High-fiber, low-calorie, and full of vitamins, oats are a boon to any dish. Another plus for this recipe is that it can be made ahead and warmed in a 250º oven while you eat dinner. It's great served with low-fat vanilla ice cream.INGREDIENTS:Filling: 9 cups peeled, sliced Gala apples (about 3 p

Word is on the street that watermelon (Citrullus lanatus), God's gift to summertime family reunions, may produce a Viagra-like effect. As a commenter on reddit put it: "They cool you above and fire you up down below."This effect is apparently made possible by an amino acid called citrulline, which is found in both the rind and flesh of the watermelon. It's also found in mammals, where it is presen

I am a huge wine lover. I haven’t had a chance to imbibe in the last year due to my pregnancy and now due to breastfeeding. So it’s been a pretty dry household. However, last week, I broke down and decided to get a bottle of white wine to go with fish we got at [...]

It seems like history is repeating itself and once again Harry Potter actress Miss. Watson's copy cat skills have prevailed. Because this time, on hearing that fellow actor Radders had got his hands on a brand new spanking crisp factory, she too went along to her local factory seller and bought one. "Two can play at that game!" The posh and slightly slutty millionaire said "And my crisps are going

Even though I ate this Butterfinger Crisp about a month ago, I kept the wrapper for article writing purposes. Now I find myself sitting here, sniffing the wrapper and desperately wishing it still had some candy inside.

I've held off on baking for a few weeks now and couldn't resist the urge last night. Although a luscious cake sounded good, I knew something using fruit would be a better choice so I made a 'crisp' with rhubarb, cherries, and apples.

Normally I leave the sweets to my sweet. But every once in a while I venture down the avenue toward a dessert. This one turned out pretty tasty. I was sort of flying by the seat of my pants, as I often do, and I managed to turn out a tart-like crisp that I could be proud of. I had planned to make this for the Royal Foodie Joust, but I had not been feeling very well over the past few weeks and

So the first wine I had at Yosemite was at the wonderful Sierra Restaurant at the Tenaya Lodge in Wawona in western Yosemite. As places like this go the wine list was a nightmare wurh every big California name and no vintages to boot! Did not wanna mess with that so I BYO'ed some 2006 Georges Descombes Chiroubles Vieilles Vignes and I am glad I did as this went extremely well with the "local cuisine", elk. Never had elk before but as I have an adventurous palate and was drooling over the deer I kept I wanted to try this semi-exotic meat. Glad I did as it was chewey and steakey but less gamey than venison and this was cooked perfectly and the juices really exploded in your mouth. I was impressed. Wpuld love to see how Chang or Dufresne would prepare elk in an east coast stylee. Onto the De

I had a blast in Yosemite and Napa/Sonoma except I got burned to a crisp on my shoulders and arms. It is completely my fault as I used no sun protection and ran around with my shirt off for a whole day in Yosemite. But other than that it was awesome. Full report coming soon.

Remember when I gave you the recipe for a faux apple pie... tastes and looks like like apple but made with zucchini? Recipe here: Zapple Pie. With the huge amount of zucchini I had that year I made a lot of zapple pie filling and canned it. A couple weeks ago, on a cold, snowy Midwestern day I got the urge for a nice hot Apple Crisp. We only had 1 apple in the house (a Granny Smith) but I had a quart of zapple pie filling all ready to go!A quick Apple Crisp was soon baking away in the oven. 1 quart zapple pie filling1/2 c butter, melted1 c sugar1 c flour1 c oatmealMix the butter, sugar, flour and oatmeal.

Nestle’s Coffee Crisp is a bar that has a very dedicated fan base. When I first heard of it, it was though an online petition that was demanding it’s distribution back in the United States. I found it recently on the shelf at a convenience store I happened to be in, and I couldn’t help but wonder what all the hype was about. It is described as a coffee center surrounded by light wafers and covered in milk chocolate. Sounds harmless enough, right? Unfortunately, I wasn’t ready quite for what I was about to taste. It was greasy. Seriously, it gave me a gross feeling on my fingers on just handling the bar. I took a bite and it didn’t taste much of anything. I didn’t taste chocolate or coffee. Isn’t that supposed to be the point? I do feel obligated to say that the wafers were nice, at least. Perplexed as to why the bar lacked flavor and had such a strange texture, I turned it over to look at the ingredients list. On the Nestle website they list

(image from CandyDirect.com) I am twenty-six years old. The candies I love, however, are often significantly older than I am, even older than my parents, and, in some cases (what up, Tootsie Roll?) older than my grandparents as well. I suppose it’s easy to take the classics for granted, with so many new and delicious treats pouring onto the shelves each year, but I’m embarrassed to admit that my excitement for new and limited-edition candies had actually caused me to forget how much I loved the Nestle Crunch bar. How could I forget the greatness of the Nestle Crunch? The crisped rice and milk chocolate bar to end all crisped rice and milk chocolate bars! The A-Team to Krackel’s B-Team! The bar that Peter Venkman rewards Egon Spengler with in Ghostbusters! Oh, sweet scary Zuul, how could such a thing have happened? There are times when the universe comes together to shake the Crunch-neglecting sleep from your eyes. My time came today, when I opened a brand-new Nestle

Coco Crisp, Patron Saint of Stupid Names Step 1: Find a breeding partner capable of producing with you a male child. Step 2: Produce such a child. Step 3A: Name the male child in a bizarre fashion. Wait approximately 20 years. Step 3B: Success! ****** You’re probably wondering how such a simple scheme can have such an infinitesimally small chance of failure. The idea stems from Social Differentiation Patterning Theory, or as it is more commonly known, the Coco Crisp Theory. To understand the theory, ask yourself this: as an adult, how frequently do you encounter other adults with completely bizarre first names? Perhaps as a child, you knew someone with an unusual name, but you no longer know people like that because, simply put, they’ve all become famous. Think about it, famous athletes – Peerless Pryce, Coco Crisp, Milton Bradley, famous actors – Skeet Ulrich, Yahoo Serious, famous nobodies – Dweezil Zappa. It was impossible for these individuals to not become famous. Mor

It's no secret I absolutely loved the quick and simple Lemon Cookies I posted about recently (photo above). So I was happily surprised when I 'stumbled' upon a similar recipe but this one called for rice cereal in the recipe. Hmmmm. Interesting. This one calls for butter instead of oil and the addition of 1 cup of rice cereal, otherwise it's like my original lemon cookie recipe. I'm

Since I bought gluten-free oats, I was excited to try the oats out in a gluten-free apple crisp. I confess, I missed the oats in my first gluten-free apple crisp recipe. I kept the sliced almonds from my first recipe though- I like the extra crunch in my crisp. If you want [...]

On Monday we had fun picking apples at the orchard. Now we are having fun eating them! Last night half of our apples got sliced, topped and baked as they were transformed into apple crisp. We love it so much I make it in a lasagna pan to make sure it doesn’t disappear in one sitting. Apple crisp doesn’t last very long in our house. We eat it for dessert, as a snack. This morning we ate it for breakfast. In my mind apples + oatmeal = breakfast. I bet it is healthier than eating a bowl of Apple Jacks. I learned how to make apple crisp from my grandmother (dad’s mom) and it is her recipe that I continue to use today. Since I use a much bigger pan I double the recipe, so keep that in mind if you try it out. Amish Apple Crisp 4 cups sliced cooking apples (6 medium sized) 1/3 cup unsifted all purpose flour 1 cup uncooked oatmeal (quick or old fashioned - I prefer a mix of 1/2 cup each) 1/2 cup dark brown sugar 1 tsp. cinnamin 1/3 cup melted butter Place apples in a

This is an Ina Garten (Barefoot Contessa) recipe that I made for dessert tonight.It was a hit with both the husband and the boys.Very sweet with a hint of cinnamon.I will be making it again when it gets cooler.The recipe uses ingredients that I usually always have on hand.And it is very easy,although cutting the fruit is a bit time consuming. I did not peel the fruit for a more rustic dessert.The pears and apples came out very tender ,which was wonderful with the crisp topping.Apple and Pear CrispIna Garten 2 pounds ripe Bosc pears (4 pears) 2 pounds firm Macoun apples (6 apples) 1 teaspoon grated orange zest 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg For the topping: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 3/4 cup granulated sugar 3/4 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1 cup old-fashioned oatm

I was in a warm fruit mood, and since we are half way between winter and spring here in Adelaide (it was 70 F/21C today!!), apples, pears and strawberries seem to be the most abundant fruit around me. So I decided to make an apple, pear and strawberry crisp with five spice and fresh vanilla bean ice cream. Read more! »

Yes, the headline reads like a narrative cartoon word balloon. But an incident involving the Mariner Moose and Red Sox fielder, Coco Crisp could have been a serious issue.The Moose was starting his routine that involved the ATV in front of the Red Sox dugout. As Crisp took the field, the Moose pulled forward and clipped the Boston outfielder on the leg. Crisp fell to the ground, but quickly regained his footing and went on his way to his position in center field. "It hit me, not flush, but it hit me," Crisp good-naturedly explained. "I didn't see it. I just heard it and I jumped back. I'm sure he didn't mean to take me out."Obviously this brings up the story of the Tennessee Titans mascot, T-Rac, and his calculated golf cart homicide attempt on Adrian McPherson, then-Quarterback of the New Orleans Saints. The ex-Saint actually filed a lawsuit seeking $15 million in punitive damages. The criminally insane mascot pictured here attempting to abduct a young fan. RIGHT in front of the pa

“The young always have the same problem – how to rebel and conform at the same time. They have now solved this by defying their parents and copying one another.” Quentin Crisp (1908 – 99) British writer

photo: instyle.comHere's the thing. My complete adoration of Cameron Diaz's spunky style totally crept up on me. One day I was simply regarding her as a sweet, fun comic actress, and the next I realized that I was idolizing her for her amazing style and gift for wearing the "just right" thing all the time. First it was one great outfit. Then another. Now it seems like Cam can do no wrong in the fashion department.

I admit that my home canned pickles (dill) get soft and it drives me crazy. I've used recipes completely from scratch, I've used dill pickle mixes. I've used 3 different kinds of cucumbers. Nada. The odd thing was that one season I had 2 quarts stay semi-crisp but the rest got soft. Now that was confusing! I came across the advice from people 'in the know' - the makers of Bell and Kerr

Quentin Crisp does make great soundbite. But of course he was more than that. The word legacy is the first that springs to mind. Gorgeous old puff are another three. And according to Grand Dame himself, he was "born reluctantly on Christmas day in 1908", to his "dismay" he found himself to be "the son of a middle-class middle-brow, middling parents who lived in Sutton".Near the end of his life, he was still as dryly self deprecating by describing himself on income tax forms as a "retired waif".

I am a vector geek. When it comes to printing, vector graphics are the best. Nothing looks better to me than crisp clean printed type. As a vector geek, one of my pet peeves is type set in Photoshop. When type is set in Photoshop, more often than not, the files that get sent to the printer are flattened (no layers) 300dpi TIFF files. This is absolutely perfect for images, but for text? The thing is, when you set a line of type in Illustrator or InDesign and it gets output to any device- office printer, inkjet, platemaker etc. vector data (text) is output at the highest resolution possible by the imaging device. This means that for most office laser printers, your text is 600dpi. In the printing world, you text is being output anywhere from 1600dpi-3600dpi! These nice sharp solids are now being output at only 300dpi; in the case of most printing companies, that is about 1/3 of the standard resolution! The worst part is that when Photoshop rasterizes type, it is no longer solid! Look at

We’ve been fans of Ina Garten since we first saw her show, Barefoot Contessa, on the food network. Her recipes are simple to follow and emphasize flavor. The way I see it, if you are worried about calories, eat a smaller portion or make it less often. This apple crisp recipe is based on Ina Garten’s “Old Fashioned Apple Crisp” recipe from her book, Barefoot Contessa Parties! The first time my wife made this we knew we would be making it again and again. What sets this apple crisp apart from your average apple crisp is the presence of orange zest and nutmeg. A lot of apple crisp recipes have nutmeg, but usually only a fraction of a teaspoon. An entire teaspoon would be overpowering were it not for the added zests and juice of orange and lemon, which carefully balance the freshly ground nutmeg flavor. This isn’t apple-nutmeg crisp—the citrus, nutmeg, cinnamon and apple flavors balance each other very nicely and are complimented by a buttery brown sugar

According to Eric Savitz of Barron's, the demand for solar power is so high that the solar industry has eclipsed the semiconductor business as the world's leading consumer of silicon wafers. This high demand has created a shortage of polysilicon, a material used in the manufacture of solar panels.The obvious play on the polysilicon shortage is MEMC Electronic Materials (WFR), one of the world's largest producers of silicon wafers. Unlike some of its rivals, MEMC produces most of its own silicon, and in fact sells some excess supply back into the market. The result is that MEMC benefits from soaring wafer pricing without suffering the associated increase in raw-material pricing.With solar energy catching steam in California, if solar panelled roofs become part of the government's agenda, stocks like WFR and ESLR will be huge winners.The recent correction in this stock presents a great buying opportunity at or below 37.-- Faisal Laljee

The rock band Recoup have released their new track called “Remind You” nothing unusal about that you say, are but there is. This CD release is the first to use a recycled cover, and the cover is a used crisp (Chips) bag.

This would be part of Palm Springs High School. Since this town has less than 100,000 people, there's only one high school.

And this is just the shigh school, the whole city has very strict architectural requirements. Even

Cookies are all-time "must haves" at my place and since they are easy to make, and good for take along or for later (if they remain - which rarely happens!!!) I often make them.

Flatten this with bottom of a buttered glass.Bake for 6 to 9 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Enjoy!!!

Getting stuck on chardonnay this summer I decided to have another white wine with dinner the other night and decided to try a Sauvignon Blanc. A lot of times I find that Sauvignon Blancs are a little bit to sweet for my palate but the Grgich Hills Fume Blanc promised Dry Sauvignon Blanc so I thought, why not? And it kept it's promise. A great crisp, medium bodied wine with light rhubarb and floral on the nose. Nice acidity and grapefruit on the palate with a long finish. This is one of the best Sauvignon Blancs I have had and truly enjoyed it.Grgich Hill Fume Blanc 2005Napa ValleyDry Sauvignon BlancBuy it direct from the winery at www.grgich.com for $25 or find it for a bargain at www.wine-searcher.com from $10.95
