Hi Dave,
DD> That sent me to the search engines. I don't get peanut flavour in the
DD> stuff I get (It's Your Churn brand) I find that they do sell a "Peanut
DD> Moose Tracks" variety - which I have never tried. The disclaimer on
DD> the "Extreme Moose Tracks" says "Contains milk, soy. Produced in a
DD> facility that uses wheat, egg, peanuts and tree nuts." It's Your Churn
DD> is made by Denali Flavors.
RH> I don't recall what brand of ice cream this was, but we were in western
RH> NY when we got it. I'm half inclined to say Hershey's but not 100% sure
RH> on it.
DD> So back to the search engine - I've never seen Hershey's I scream.
DD> Which makes sense now that I know they are a east and northeast U.S.
DD> company. (The Ice Cream part anyway)
Yes, we have seen it down here (NC) from time to time but the last place
that we knew that had it closed a while back. A new bbq place opened in
the same location but without the ice cream bar.
DD> Of course, that branched me to:
DD> Denali Flavours is a Wisconsin company which originated Moose Tracks -
DD> to wit: Moose Tracks is a branded flavor of ice cream owned and
DD> licensed by Denali Flavors Inc. (first made in 1988) The name "Moose
DD> Tracks"
DD> came from a mini golf course in Marquette, Michigan located in the
DD> Upper Peninsula of Michigan, which was right down the street from
DD> Jilbert's Dairy, the first ice cream shop to carry Original Moose
DD> Tracks.
DD> Many different brands license the Moose Tracks flavor including
DD> Strohs, Belmont (ALDI), Market Pantry (Target), Private Selection
DD> (Kroger Co.), Dean's, Signature Select (Safeway/Albertsons), Mayfield,
DD> Kawartha Dairy Company, and Publix.
DD> No mention of Hershey's. And you, of course, are correct that peanut
DD> butter cups were a part of the original Moose Tracks - The Original
DD> Moose Tracks product description is as follows, "vanilla ice cream
DD> with peanut butter cups and famous Moose Tracks fudge"
DD> According to Denali's web site there is no peanut butter in the
DD> "Extreme! Moose Tracks - A chocolate lover's dream of Chocolate ice
DD> cream, melt-
DD> in-your-mouth Moose Tracks Fudge-filled cups, and Famous Moose Tracks
DD> Fudge!"
Now that one sounds like one I'd order. Last night's cone was chocolate
on the bottom, raspberry on the top. The young lady that works Wednesday
nights knows my regular is chocolate bottom, something else on top. She
was training in a new worker last night.
RH> starts cooling off, I'll pull out all the stops and do sauerbraten with
RH> red cabbage and (usually) noodles. Eating out, OTOH, we'll range all
RH> over the planet.
DD> Living single - my housemate seldom is on my meal schedule, nor does
DD> he partake of wehat I make except on rare occasions - I tend to do
DD> very simple meals for the most part with the occasional foray into
DD> something more elaborate that freezes well.
RH> I cook for me and Steve most of the time. This morning/afternoon we
RH> were down south of Raleigh, stopped at a Peruvian restaurant. Steve had
RH> a 1/4 chicken (dark meat), maduros (sweet plantains) and black beans. I
RH> had a 1/4 chicken (white meat), maduros and green beans, brought about
RH> half of it home. I just don't eat a lot any more so we have a lot of
RH> leftovers at home, take homes at restaurants.
DD> Plantains are not bananas, but they are close relatives. They are
DD> starchy, less sweet, and usually cooked before eating. And since I
DD> have a bananana allergy I believe I'll have to pass.
Smart idea, don't need any more trips to the ER.
DD> Sauerbraten is fairly easy and can be made with slow cooker - as I did
DD> when I made the venison sauerbraten for the Y2K picnic that I hosted.
RH> I used to use the crock pot but switched to a dutch oven some years
RH> ago. Not sure why, but it seems to have a better flavor. (G)
DD> I can't use my current Dutch oven on my stove. It's a flat-top
DD> electric and the pot has cast-in stubby legs that hold it off of the
DD> heat just
DD> enough to screw things up. At my previous place I had electric coils
DD> so it worked just fine.
I've got both cast iron and stainless steel dutch ovens. The place we
rented in WF had the old electric coils, bought a new stove when we
bought the house and this one has the flat top. If I had my druthers,
I'd ruther have a gas stove but Steve has nixed that because of my
asthma. BTW, the fall RV/radio net rally will be in Pigeon Forge, TN so
I've already told Steve that we're going to visit the Lodge outlet.
DD> Fair enough. I do .... mostly for the flavour.
DD> MMMMM--------------------------MARINADE-------------------------------
DD> 2 1/2 c Water
DD> 2 c Cider or red wine vinegar
DD> 1/3 c Sugar
DD> 2 md Onions; peeled, sliced,
DD> - divided
DD> 2 tb Mixed pickling spice;
DD> - divided
DD> 1 ts Whole peppercorns; divided
DD> 8 Whole cloves; divided
DD> 2 Turkish bay leaves; divided
DD> 2 tb Oil
RH> I use bay leaves, juniper berries, whole peppercorns, whole allspice
RH> berries and whole cloves in my spicing. Also usually use red wine or
RH> cider vinegar (depends on what's on hand, sugar, onions and water.
DD> I mostly stay away from juniper berries unless they are in a spice mix
DD> already and not prominent in the flavour.
DD> TO MAKE GRAVY: Strain cooking juices, discarding onions
DD> and seasonings. Add enough reserved marinade to the
DD> cooking juices to measure 3 cups. Pour into a large
DD> saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until
DD> gravy is thickened. Slice roast and serve with gravy.
RH> I do a gingersnap gravy, about a dozen of them crushed with a bit of
RH> sugar to a couple of cups of the cooking liquid. I usually do a double
RH> batch of gravy so I have some to freeze with the left over meat.
