Thanks Texas for all your work,explaining this to me. After I paste the recipe it is perfect.but after I click post,it scrambles all together.This is the crazy thing,that the Mac does not have a work pad. I will see,what Marlene finds out,since she has the same computer as I am.But I will try later again,when I have more time.====================================I have to pack,but since my DH still has the flu, I am not moderated yet. We wanted to leave tomorrow.Renate=================================================================================================================================================================Twinkle,thanks for the yummy recipes. Now I have to make a turkey soon,since I have your recipes.I still have goose in my DS freezer,but the last one I made was tough.Maybe I have to cut the bird into pieces and bake it in a sauce.=====Renate

Hi All!

 

I am finally back from my weekend in Lansing.  I arrived Saturday am and by noon the snow had started.  My GF and I spent the rest of the day and all day Sunday baking cookies.  We got about 8 inches total.  The worst of the snow went a little south of us, down around the Ohio border they got about 14 inches.

 

We made 6 batches of Pecan Tassies - my GF's grandmother was a pastry chef and she makes the absolute best Pecan Tassies.  My GF is training me.  We also made 3 batches of Cherry Crowns, 2 batches of Russian Tea Cakes, 2 batches of 7 Layer Cookies, and because my GF supports a lot of fund raisers, we also made pre-mixed M&M cookies, pre-mixed White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies, and pre-shaped sugar cookies, which we decorated.

 

Renate - I don't remember exactly what I wrote but apparently I was not clear - in order to space between paragraphs - at the end of your paragraph double space instead of single space.  Hope this helps you!!

 

 

Picasso - Renate and I both have mac computers. She wondered if I could help. I tried your suggestion of double spacing and it doesn't work. It may with another computer but not our macs. My son is an IT person and arrives home for the holiday late on Thursday. So maybe Friday I will have a solution for Renate and I. Marlene

Oh I hope he can help you!  I have used a Mac in the past, but not very much.  I feel for the frustration caused when you can't get something to work.

 

 

Hey everyone!

Hope you get your computer problems solved! I know how frusterating it can be!!

Today dh and i went and ate Mexican for lunch....it was so good! Its one of my favorite rest. in town....

I'm at work right now, so I don't have any recipes with me......maybe I can post some later..

All the recipes sound like winners to me!

Later Jet

Renate,

 

Do you have any kind of word processing on your computer? I also have Microsoft works so my special recipes can be copied there too. They also have "special format' under edit and "unformatted text" where you can copy those recipes that have boxes around them.

 

Also, you can post your message there and put paragraphs in. Just copy and paste from there and it should work on the new BB. Maybe your son can find a resolution for you if these options don't work. I hope you find an answer soon.

Texas,thanks for trying to help me. I am furious ! I had lots and lots of recipes and German Corners in my bookmarks and they are all gone.All of Twinkles threads and recipes from Ericka. I looked two days ago and I still found them there. I thought they were save there,thats how much I know about computers. They whole thing is just crazy. I think I just had enough. Renate

I have had this recipe for a long time.  The original recipe is very good, and the tweaked version is also very good and even healthier.  Both versions are filling and satisfying.   My changes are in ().

Texas,how can you bump up an old post ??? I can look at all the recipe,which are posted,but there is not a place,where you can put your name in or the name of the recipe you are loking for and bump it up,as I used to do. The only place is on top and it only brings up TOH recipes,not our own.

 

Answer No. I - How to find recipes by recipe name:

 

For recipes go to the Recipes forum. Put in the name of the recipe in the search box. Click on Community and then scroll down to the very last recipe and beneath that post it says, "More options". Click on that. Then to to "Date filter" and click on it. Choose the length of time going back from all to one year or to various weeks and days time period. Click on your choice of time periods. Go back to the name of the recipe on the top and hit search. To bump, click on reply and this should bump up the post.

 

Answer No. 2 - How to find recipes by nicknames:

 

Go to "Forums Message Board" on right below red bar. Then go to "short cuts". Click on "Find a User". Put in the name in "Listing of Members of the Community." Click on "Search.

 

Scroll down to beneath the tan/gold colored bar and click on "user name" and got to our "My page". Click on bottom left corner "Search for posts by _________ (put in the nickname of person you are searching for) and post by that particular nickname/person will come up.

 

Gee I know this is complicated but I have tried it and if I didn't forget anything it should work for you.
