Hi Ben,

I've done a lighter version of this, using turkey or chicken breast,
and they're every bit as good as the veal, without the mess of frying.

Thanks for writing.

I found it in my brother's recipe collection. I'm not really into
veal because a friend told me that it is comparatively cruel to
animals. I
like the idea of coming up with alternatives. Here's a recipe for

I've never tried it with tofu. We've played around with tofu over the
years (not recently) but never did a lot with it. The turkey or chicken
version of wienerschnitzel is a lot more animal friendly than veal but
the tofu would work (well pressed) for non meat eaters.

Some other folks in the house got out a waffle iron and started
playing a game called Will It Waffle? They put leftover homemade
mashed
potatoes and freshly sauteed onions into the waffle batter, and then topped them with shredded cheese and sour cream. To mine i added some spicy mango pickle. I thought it was amazingly delicious.

Sounds like fun, something a group of young folks would try. I've
stopped eating waffles and pancakes--grew up drenching them in maple
syrup and it would be too hard a habit to break. I'm keeping an eye on
my sugar intake, don't want to go back on insulin.

Hi Ben,

Sounds like fun....and you can try a wide variety of things to see how
well they will or won't waffle. I can see my younger daughter trying it with her boys. (G)

I lost a round of Will It Waffle this morning where i learned that no, coconut flour will not waffle, despite having 3 separate binders in
the batter (banana, chia seeds, and eggs).

Chalk it up as a learning experience. (G)

Will be bringing another Ocracoke Fig Cake to the American
Legion get together next week.

What an interesting cake! I saved the recipe and intend to post it
and try it later.

It has become one of our favorites. When I brought it to the Legion
dinner, I had 3 requests for the recipe within 15 minutes of people
starting dessert. I'll have to check our fig preserve supply, don't
think I need to make any this summer but the tree will be going
gangbusters on production shortly.
