I've spent half my life wondering how to make a meat pie. What a great taste! Do not listen to reviewers who advise skipping the allspice or cutting it back. It's essential! We did add about a 1/4 tsp. garlic salt, some more pepper. We also followed the advice of the Scottish reviewer and dribbled on a little beef broth just before putting on the top crust. Served with onion gravy as a couple of reviewers suggested. Delicious! Oh, and my rich pastry required about 40 minutes in the oven.

Chocolate Velvet Ice Cream

Reviewed: Jun. 18, 2009

Put in 1/3 Plus 1 Tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon SUPER DUPER double-strength brewed expresso, cooled completely, and 1/2 cup or so crushed almonds, and guess what you get? The best Jamoca Almond Fudge Ice Cream you'll ever eat! Try it!

Coconut Ice Cream

Reviewed: Jun. 6, 2009

No better ice cream can be produced. Use the flaked coconut. This freezes up hard but creamy. If you like coconut, you will be astounded! (Oh, I added 1/2 teaspoon very good vanilla extract.)

Easy Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

Reviewed: May 10, 2009

This is the best! Some alterations. I used pure peppermint flavoring, which is peppermint extracted into various oils without alcohol. I tripled the peppermint--maybe the non-alcohol-type flavoring is not as strong. I doubled the vanilla. I halved the salt. No color. Cut back on the sugar, perhaps by a fifth. Then, I put the whole mess into the blender with the chocolate chips. Still a little too chunky for me. Next time I'll leave the blender on longer.
