My Recipe Box - Crustless Blueberry Pie
July 2018 - Toronto ON
Source
I made no changes other than using all-purpose gluten free flour and slightly reducing the sugar.
.
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
1 cup all-purpose flour gluten free
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract, or to taste
1/2 to 1 teaspoon almond extract, or to taste didn't have any
2 cups plus 1/4 cup fresh blueberries, divided (I used frozen, and also have used raspberries)
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a 9-inch round pie dish very well with cooking spray; set aside.
To a large bowl, add 1 cup sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and whisk to combine; set aside.
To a medium microwave-safe bowl, add the butter and heat on high power to melt, about 45 seconds. Wait momentarily before adding the eggs so you don’t scramble them.
Ad the eggs, extracts, and whisk to combine.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry and stir to combine; don’t overmix.
Add 2 cups blueberries and stir to combine; batter is very thick.
Turn mixture out into prepared pie dish, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula.
Evenly sprinkle 1/4 cup blueberries over the top.
Evenly sprinkle 2 tablespoons sugar over the top and bake for about 34 to 39 minutes, or until edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs but no batter. I prefer to underbake slightly (35 minutes) for a more gooey center but it’s personal preference and since all ovens, climates, and berries vary, watch your pie and not the clock. Allow pie to cool in pie dish on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Optionally serve with whipped topping or ice cream. Pie will keep airtight at room temp for up to 5 days.

My Recipe Box - 3 Ingredient Macaroons
This was my inspiration for 3-ingredient coconut macaroons. However our condensed milk is 300 ml or 10 ounces. Since the coconut and condensed milk are equal, I used
INGREDIENTS
1
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat.
In a large bowl, combine the sweetened flaked coconut, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract and stir until well combined. Using a small ice cream scoop or two spoons, scoop out 1 1/2 tablespoons of the mixture and arrange the macaroons on the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
I got 25 good sized macaroons for about $6.
Bake the macaroons for 15 to 18 minutes until they’re golden brown.
Bake the macaroons for 15 to 18 minutes until they’re golden brown.
Mine too 15 minutes.
Remove the macaroons from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a rack to cool completely.
I made melted chocolate but it was difficult to drizzle. So I found this recipe for a drizzle that will harden.
INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons melted margarine or 2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
2 tablespoons hot water
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla
DIRECTIONS
Combine melted margarine or oil, cocoa, and hot water.
Blend in confectioners' sugar and vanilla.
Pour or spread on brownies or cake.
Glaze will harden when cool.

February 2015 - Bangkok Thailand
In looking through my photos about World War II I realized that I had never done a detailed post on the River Kwai.
Our full day activities.
The Kanchanaburi War Cemetery (known locally as the Don-Rak War Cemetery) is the main prisoner of war (POW) cemetery for victims of Japanese imprisonment while building the Burma Railway. It is on the main road, Saeng Chuto Road, through the town of Kanchanaburi, Thailand, adjacent to an older Chinese cemetery.
There are 1,896 Dutch war graves, the rest being from Britain and the Commonwealth. Two graves contain the ashes of 300 men who were cremated. The Kanchanaburi Memorial gives the names of 11 from India who are buried in Muslim cemeteries.

It is on the main road, Saeng Chuto Road, through the town of Kanchanaburi, Thailand, adjacent to an older Chinese cemetery.
It was designed by Colin St Clair Oakes and is maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. There are 6,982 POWs buried there, mostly Australian, British, and Dutch. It contains the remains of prisoners buried beside the south section of the railway from Bangkok to Nieke, excepting those identified as Americans, whose remains were repatriated.

My Recipe Box - Jambalaya
Why have I never posted this recipe???
We took a cooking class on our first trip to New Orleans.

I also made it in the slow cooker, adding all the ingredients except the shrimp, at the same time and cooking on low for 7-8 hours. Add the shrimp just before you serve.
You can add uncooked rice when there is 2 hours left in the cooking time. UPDATE I added 2/3 cup of rice and it was way too much, also two hours is too long, next time I would just do 60 - 90 minutes.
