I always share recipes, yet I have family members who guard some like they're national secrets!<br /><br />@Pat. When it comes to rolling pins, I guess it's what you grow up with. Mom's rolling pin had "stationary" handles, but the middle was somehow separated, so that it "spun" faster. I have one with wooden handles, but the middle is made of marble...great for pie crust. To see one hand carved, probably by my great grandfather as they lived on a farm, was just amazing to me!hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03306622656461205674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2138075587509083863.post-3119635947958807822012-10-10T16:47:01.965+05:002012-10-10T16:47:01.965+05:00"Catholic stock pot" is the unexpected, ..."Catholic stock pot" is the unexpected, morning belly laugh out of nowhere.

It's always interesting to see how peoples variations differ around the world. I was incredibly shocked when I first saw a recipe from America involving putting a whole chicken in a deep fat fryer.

Normally they are constructed of plastic and double as slot in / out cookie cutters. They are but a shilling to buy (ok, £5.99) and can be found in places like Morrisons and Sainsburys. Avoid them like the plague!<br /><br />Vegetarian haggie is packed with extra barley and oats and contains less fat than the norm. They are sponges when it comes to absorbing flavour, plus you can slice them extra thick without them breaking or getting soggy. Another good tip, I use a lot of turkey bacon as it is healthier and you cannae tell the difference in taste or texture.<br /><br />The only traditional item I cannae stand on my breakfast plate is a Scotch pancake.
