And I've come to love that deep, earthy taste of chipotle. Not hot. Not spicy, But warming - you hit it on the nose, Mindy.<br /><br />So this is going on the list of things to do once I get back into the baking mood. I can't say "once I'm caught up on writing stuff" like Ruthy, because I have a feeling I'll never be ahead of this game. :)<br /><br />And on the topic of fancy mixers - just think of all the baking Amish homemakers do! You won't find a fancy mixer in their kitchens!Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-66301487136992891332014-10-07T12:13:30.659-04:002014-10-07T12:13:30.659-04:00Then they flap wildly while you stir :)Then they flap wildly while you stir :)Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-80711894332525507522014-10-07T10:18:48.964-04:002014-10-07T10:18:48.964-04:00Hmm...

However, knowing that you're not crazy about spicy (hot) foods, I'd suggest you cut back the chipotle to about a quarter to half a teaspoon and then leave it out of the glaze. <br /><br />Sharp cheese and apples... Reminds me of my grandmother. She loved that, especially with her Apple pie.<br /><br />See, now I would think your little people would remind you to out out your fall decorations.

Just think what a hit you'd be with your coworkers.<br /><br />I know what you mean about walking in the heat. Not a fun prospect. I'm always amazed when I see people jogging in the heat. Then again, I can't conceive jogging in the cold. Not unless someone is chasing me with a knife. Guess it's all about motivation. :D<br /><br />And, hey, how come Ruthy gets to be friends with you in FB.

GASP. And I remember promising to try it!!!! You know, the Italian spice cookies call for black pepper in some of the recipes, and like salt vs. sugar, sometimes having that background taste brings out the other flavors. Like sharp cheese and apples. Wonderful! I need to try this once I'm caught up on writing stuff in a couple of weeks. But will I remember??????? The only way I thought to put out my fun scarecrows and fall harvest stuff was because I had Mary and Tina e-mail me to do it...and then used my daycare helpers to get it done.

Now the problem is if you're living alone and make this stuff, you have to share it otherwise we're eating it all!!! Yikes! And then all our walking or healthy choices go up in smoke.
