Doesn't evap milk need to be icy cold to whip it successfully? [NT] - AngAk1 - 2:39am on 02/21/16

The recipe does say to put in freezer. Never mind [NT] - AngAk1 - 2:46am on 02/21/16

Is it evaporated milk or condensed milk? Recipe says evap, instructions say condensed? [NT] - MoNJ - 12:08pm on 02/21/16

If it is an old recipe (I don't have it) evaporated and condensed were the "same" - Charley - 12:33pm on 02/21/16

I used Carnation Evporated milk. I think the Condensed milk would be too sweet - KarenNoCA - 3:18pm on 02/21/16

No it isn't sweetened condensed milk--it is evaporated. 50 years ago they used these - Charley - 3:24pm on 02/21/16

I did a search and this recipe is the closest I can find to Traca's recipe [LINK] - KarenNoCA - 4:00pm on 02/21/16

That recipe makes "sense" to me because it says to whip the cream cheese and milk - Charley - 4:26pm on 02/23/16

I agree the recipe needs to be rewritten, but that is not my strong suit. Someone else? Happy to - Traca - 8:25pm on 02/21/16

Ah, so it does have cream cheese in it? The original post did not call for it. - KarenNoCA - 12:13am on 02/22/16

The recipe that Traca posted calls for 8 oz of cream cheese - is that the one you are using? - LisainLA - 5:39am on 02/22/16

Very welcome, Barb .... enjoy it....remember it is a very sticky dough. [NT] - GayR - 1:32am on 03/19/16

After having it on the 2nd and 3rd day after baking - IMO it would need to be toasted - LisainLA - 4:02pm on 03/19/16

Yes, Lisa in the recipe he states that it tends to become stale if held too long...... [NT] - GayR - 5:21pm on 03/19/16

People are so clever:) [NT] - deb-in-MI - 10:57pm on 03/17/16
It is amazing, am I the only one who would rather have what it resembles than what it is? [NT] - Curious1 - 11:10pm on 03/17/16

No, I am in your corner. Was wondering that myself. Kind of like folks who won't eat meat - KarenNoCA - 11:25pm on 03/17/16

Will corned beef go on sale today (post-St. Paddy's Day)? - MarilynFL - 12:09pm on 03/18/16

Yes - the beef was one of those commercially vacuum sealed packages, - LisainLA - 2:29pm on 03/18/16

Thanks! [and will you be sharing the leftovers with hubby? I won't tell.] [NT] - MarilynFL - 5:04pm on 03/18/16

We polished them off last night for dinner! :-D [NT] - LisainLA - 4:00pm on 03/19/16

I made a good one last night using Charlie's recipe, similar to using a slowcooker, I think, as it - Curious1 - 6:31pm on 03/20/16

I had to try out my new pressure cooker, but I think I'll go back to that slow oven method [NT] - charlie - 8:46pm on 03/20/16

I don't have one but wondered if it would be good for corned beef. Curious as to why you didn't - Curious1 - 12:06am on 03/21/16

I LOVE LOVE my PC. I think I had the same "question" about whether doing something - Charley - 10:10am on 03/21/16

I'm looking forward to doing all those things. The beef turned out well in an hour and fifteen... - charlie - 11:48am on 03/21/16

I think some corned beef is saltier when cooked than others. I used to soak mine a little - Charley - 12:04pm on 03/21/16

It was one of those no nitrate beasts from a "gourmet" supermarket. That's probably the best. - charlie - 4:27pm on 03/21/16

28561. Confession-I buy a butt half ham a couple of times a year when they are cheap - Melissa Dallas - 12:11pm on 03/20/16 (16)

Yum! - sjs1952 - 2:18pm on 03/20/16
I'm sorry, Melissa, but I can't get past saying *I buy a butt* over and over. - MarilynFL - 1:12pm on 03/21/16

and that song is going through my mind now: I buyyyy butt, and I cannot lie. . . - mistral - 4:50pm on 03/21/16
I'm a Fat Bottomed Girls fan myself;) [NT] - Melissa Dallas - 1:28am on 03/22/16

Aldi's. 10 pounds, 10 bucks - Melissa Dallas - 1:32am on 03/22/16

Really???? I never, ever, EVER find deals like that. And a bone is absolutely necessary for - MarilynFL - 12:15pm on 03/22/16

Aldi's for me also. If you have a BiLO in Florida--or up in NC, they often have great ham specials. [NT] - Charley - 4:04pm on 03/22/16

Do you guys buy the whole, bone-in ham? I sure like those better than the spiral cut ones - KarenNoCA - 6:34pm on 03/21/16

I only like spiral cut for sandwiches & it should barely be warmed up - Melissa Dallas - 1:34am on 03/22/16

Years ago, we had a honeybaked ham in our community. I loved their - KarenNoCA - 3:02pm on 03/22/16

They are good but really outrageously expensive. If you do have one, they sell their ham bones! - Charley - 4:03pm on 03/22/16

I have bought their bones before; worked for my recipe. Michael - MarilynFL - 4:22pm on 03/22/16

Karen, here's their recipe for Ham Salad - MarilynFL - 6:49pm on 03/22/16

I think some finely chopped celery is also a good addition to ham salad. [NT] - Charley - 12:02pm on 03/23/16
