Thanks to all who took time to answer my question about lighting. Helped
me realize that there has been some progress in fluroscents in 30 years and
to also rethink the halogens. After visiting an actual Lighting store, I
realized that the halogens were going to be too hot for a menopausal woman
and their shadows were way too sharp for a good working light so a mix of
halogen for the display area, fluros. for general lighting and incandescent
spots for tasks will do the trick. The pull downs are a great idea if I
can find some I like. This list is great for brain storming. Thanks again.
Apple baker note: I believe there are more qualified members who can speak
to the appropriate glaze for cookware and liability, but I used to make
apple bakers as part of my normal inventory and beyond the fact that I love
the one I use, they are a fun pot to make and market at apple time. Think
of a regular bowl with a clay thumb size solid post in the center. If you
make the bowl wide enough in the inside, you can then put your goodies
around the apple which slips down over the post which aids in cooking the
center evenly expecially in the microwave. There's room to stuff some
goodies inside the center too if you don't make it too thick. You can also
make monkey bread in the pot for a double use. Just play with the idea and
what works for you.

Dear Candice,
I am building up a picture of he Apple Baker but "Monkey Bread" I do
not know. Is this a cultural variation of a fruit loaf?
Best regards,
Ivor Lewis.

Monkey bread is made with refrigerated bread dough. You cut each little
biscuit into quarters, dip them in milk and then into cinnamon sugar, pile
them in a well greased baking pan, dribble melted butter over them and bake
at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Pull it apart to eat. Don't know where the name
same from. Very popular with the small kids in military circles. Hey- maybe
that's where the name came from!

Ivor,
Monkey bread is a ring of pull apart bread often made in a bundt pan,
American Southern in origin, I think. Simply mix up a batch of yeast
bread, make ping pong ball size rounds, roll in butter and either garlic
and herbs or cinnamon and sugar and layer in the pan. Bake according to
directions. For cheaters and the apple baker size pot, you use a can of
biscuit dough from the grocer instead. For pure decadence, my
sister-in-law would lay a sheet of piecrust into the apple baker, poking
the dough over the center post, core an apple and put it on the post, wrap
the dough around the apple after seasoning and make a dumpling.

Dear Candice,
Thank you for the recipe.
But cultural differences cause me to raise another question. What is a
Bundt Pan?
Is it one of those circular tins with a central hole? If it is I make
those on the Wheel and use them for honeyed brandy fruit cake.
Best regards,
Ivor Lewis.

Hello Ivor,
Of course now you realize you need to tell us your recipe for honeyed
brandy fruit cake.
This sounds like a fruit cake one would like to get to know better.
