Alfredo Sauce

1 cup butter
1 cup thick cream
pinch of grated nutmeg
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Place the butter and cream in a small saucepan and bring to the boil
(gently). Simmer slowly for about 10 minutes. Stir in the nutmeg and
salt and pepper to taste.

Meanwhile, cook pasta of your choice until its al dente - and then
drain. Once this is done, pour the Alfredo sauce over the pasta and
toss.. Then you can add the Parmesan and stir (gently)... Serve immediately

Enjoy!

Notice that the butter and cream are boiled for 10 minutes; boils away
most of the moisture. It looks like a good recipe to me, in spite of
the "1 cup of this, and 1 cup of this, and 1 cup of that."

Best regards,

LOL. Found this "recipe" on a packet of spaghetti I bought. Just thought
that seeing as how we hadn't "discussed" this for at least a month, it
might be worth a laugh

I tried to make kettle corn the other day in the wok. I guess the temp
was too high, as the sugar scorched pretty badly (although not a
complete loss).

I'm convinced people are lying when they intimate they make kettle
corn that isn't scorched. I've tried making it too many times not to
have that attitude.

I've never liked kettle corn. It was a HUGE seller at the "art" show in
Burnsville, MN, but it smelled burnt to me. I made it once at home and it
just wasn't to my liking. But kettle corn was the only thing that was
selling. Loser show, even for the "crafters". (I walked around and talked
with other exhibitors.)

I'm thinking of trying it with the popcorn popped first in the air
popper, then put in a hot pan (wok) with some butter and the sugar and
salt, then briefly tossed about.

Kettle corn doesn't have butter on it, but a light coating of butter
*would* help the sugar to adhere to the popcorn. I've sprinkled
Splenda on microwave popcorn, and it wasn't half bad.

Wouldn't that be more like unbaked carmel corn? I think I'll just
stick to opening a package of cowboy corn. It's easier and
delicious.... I just never know where to buy it. Someday, I have to
ask the person who brings it to work occasionally where she finds it.

You're wrong. Ask Crash about my kettle corn.

Kettle Corn

Recipe By :Carol Peterson
Serving Size : 0 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Signature Dishes Snacks-Sweet

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
vegetable oil
popcorn
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
salt -- for sprinkling

In a three-quart saucepan (or "kettle") with a tight-fitting lid, pour
enough oil to cover to a depth of about one-half the size of a popcorn
kernel. Add two "test" kernels of popcorn, and turn heat to medium
high. When the test kernels pop, the oil is hot enough to continue.

Quickly pour in enough popcorn to cover the bottom of the saucepan in
an even layer. Sprinkle the sugar over the unpopped kernels, and
place the lid on the pan. As the corn pops, shake the pan
occasionally to assure that unpopped kernels reach the bottom of the
pan. When the lid starts to lift off the pan and the popping slows or
stops, remove pan from heat.

Pour popped corn into a large bowl or several smaller ones. Dust
lightly with salt.

Yield:
"12 cups"

Mine never scorches, honest. I use the pan below (but I've always had
good luck in regular pans) and add 2 tablespoons of sugar the *second*
the first kernel pops. Honest. It works.

OK, I'll give it one more try - but I don't have a popcorn popper. I
just use my trusty 4 qt. caphalon pot that I can cook perfect popcorn
(but not kettle corn) in every time.

mine is a pre-glass lid version though

Really, ;-( maybe we'll have better luck next time.

Too busy cussing and discussing kettle corn, which by the way, I don't
scorch anymore. I did until I started using a heavy bottomed stock pot
and shake the heck out of it once it starts popping.

If you really want to make this dish look toward higher powers it's
extremely important to
buy a 1lb hunk of Regianno Parmesan, and grate it very coarsely over the
pasta
just before serving.

More Cheers,
Kent
Adjust salt after you have added the cheese.

Why is 1 pound the magic number? I told my husband that only
yesterday and came home to his first attempt at home made macaroni and
cheese. It was pretty good, but he said he ran out of cheese....
which was the perfect opening for me to say "I told you so". LOL! It
was *good* stuff, just not as cheesy as he wanted. It was fine by me.
