[KitchenWitch]

4. Is that a classical or steel stringed guitar in your avatar?

Just wonderin'

[alarcojon]

9. It's a classical, at least I hope so

check my profile.

:hi:

[KitchenWitch]

12. It looks like a classical

That is why I asked...

My son plays a classical, and an electric.

[alarcojon]

14. Your son has good taste!

I have three classicals, one a cutaway with a pickup.

[KitchenWitch]

17. My son inherited his classical from me

I used to play...

He would also like a dreadknought...because the sound is different. But he loves the sound of the classical.

6. mmmm! Even better

although I'd settle for just some butter on it right now. SOOO HUNNNGRY. But down to lentil soup and peanut butter.


....


Oops, make that just peanut butter. (but not quite as hungry now!)

3. I made monkey bread, today.

double mmmmmm...

[RevCheesehead]

5. OK, I plead dumb.

What's frybread? and Monkey bread?

[KitchenWitch]

7. Not sure about monkey bread

Frybread is a plains Indian bread...basically deep fried bread dough, Usually the dough is a bit on the sweet side, it is sometimes served with powdered sugar.

8. heh - around here we call that "doughnuts" or "funnel cake"

[KitchenWitch]

11. It is more substantial than donuts or funnelcake

I need to get a recipe for it...it is soooooo good.

[anarch]

16. I usually just use a mix, but I found this:

The secret is getting it shaped so that it fries right...takes some practice. Anyway, I am out of flour right now...and luck, apparently.


2 cups flour
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 cup milk
Deep hot fat in frypan or fryer


Sift dry ingredients. Lightly stir in milk. Add more flour as necessary to make a dough you can handle. Kneed and work the dough on a floured board with floured hands until smooth. Pinch off fist-sized limps and shap into a disk -- everyone has their own characteristic shapes.(Shape affects the taste, by the way because of how it fries). For Indian tacos, the disk must be rather flat, with a depression -- almost a hole -- in the center of both sides. Make it that way if the fry bread is going to have some sauce over it. Smaller, round ones are made to put on a plate. Fry in fat (about 375°) until golden and done on both sides, about 5 minutes. Drain on absorbent paper. (Phyllis Jarvis, Paiute)

10. Monkey bread is canned biscuits torn into pieces

with margarine and cinnamon and nuts slathered all over it and put into a greased bundt pan.
To serve it, you just tear a piece or two off, I guess like a monkey would do. :shrug:

[KitchenWitch]

15. That sounds delish!

[Lars39]

18. It is pretty good; haven't had it in years.

Here's a recipe for it :9:

MONKEY BREAD
Printed from COOKS.COM

3 packages of buttermilk biscuit tubes
1 cup sugar (divided)
2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar

Take 3 packages of buttermilk biscuit tubes (10 per roll) and cut each roll into 4 pieces. Drop roll pieces into 1 cup sugar and 2 tsp. cinnamon. drop sugar coated pieces into a well buttered bundt pan (don't squish roll pieces when placing them in the bundt pan).

Put 1/2 cup of the left over sugar/cinnamon mix and 1/2 cup packed brown sugar and 1 cup of butter (2 sticks) into small sauce pan.

Bring this mixture just to a boil, take off heat right away. Carefully drizzle over the roll pieces.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 min.

Cool slightly in an upright position, then tip pan over onto a plate to remove monkey pull-apart bread.
