I'm interested in the nut recipe now.
Hmmm. Graham crackers and/or Ritz crackers and/or GrapeNuts. OK, I'll check those out. Thanks!
It's one of those things where I don't really need a recipe for the way I usually do it, but the thought of changing my cooking habits leaves me all, "Buh, wuh, huh, no nuts? Er . . . "
Yep, grape nuts are nut-free -- it's "nut" as in "ridiculously hard little nubbin" and "grape" as in "sweet". Ah, truth in advertising....
I'm interested in the nut recipe now.
I've always made nut crusts pretty the way I make graham cracker crusts, only with ground almonds (or more rarely, hazelnuts) in place of the crumbs. And only enough butter to make 'em stick, since they won't absorb it.
I'm interested in the nut recipe now.
It's basically the Graham Cracker recipe you just posted, except there's about half a cup of flour and a cup of finely ground nuts in place of the Graham crackers. And I usually use brown sugar. And sometimes I throw in a little cinnamon and nutmeg.
Interesting. I may try that nut thing. I've never even heard of it.
There's a crust I've made with pine nuts. Don't have it handy, though. I love pine nuts, so there's always the danger I'll eat all the crust before it makes it into the pan.
Mom used to refer to her grapenuts as baked gravel.
Depending on the flavor of the cheesecake, there's also the chocolate wafer/oreo without the middle approach.
This would not work so well with, say, a key lime cheesecake.
Yum, oreos.
I don't see why, Lee.
Excellent.
The landlord just came by to look at the damage. He's never been in my place, and I was just cleaning up the bathroom.
He stopped in the living area, where i painted one of my walls purple without permission, and said, "Wow. This place is so. cool."
Smashed ginger snaps are good with a key lime cheesecake, though. For the purpose of pie crusts, the presmashed graham cracker crumbs are a wonderful invention.
I am trying to think of an alcoholic drink to take to fireworks tomorrow. It needs to be something I can premix. It is going to be hotter than the hinges of hell. I'm thinking margueritas. Any other suggestions?
