Really easy too. If you have a store nearby that sells flour and grain in the bulk department, you don't have to commit to a lot of ingredients to try it. I make it in wide mouth 1 pt jars, much easier to come by for me than an actual coffee can.

I just had a craving for it a few weeks ago, decades since I'd last thought of it, and posted on facebook - and my parents sent me a can for my birthday! But I'm told there are homemade versions that are better. I know it's steamed whether it's storebought or homemade but I've never tried making it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/foods-you-make-once-a-year#post-1864991 Mon, 04 Dec 2017 04:46:43 +0000 Anonymous 1864991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use the Italian Cream Cake recipe from Cooking Light...actually not too unhealthy as desserts go but is a winner that does not taste healthy.<br /> I thought of another...gingerbread men cookies and bourbon balls once a year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/foods-you-make-once-a-year#post-1864960 Mon, 04 Dec 2017 03:10:23 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1864960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sal, that’s how latkes are for me. We have no cultural/religious connection to them. I just like them. That is, I like eating them. I do not enjoy cleaning up after making them. After I make them, it takes about a year for those memories to fade and for me to decide I want some more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/foods-you-make-once-a-year#post-1864896 Sun, 03 Dec 2017 19:36:00 +0000 Sal 1864896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Christmas Cake, Christmas Mince Pies!!</p> <p>There are few other things I probably only make once a year but not deliberately ( Lemon meringue pie being one - I love it but just don't get around to making it often). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/foods-you-make-once-a-year#post-1864873 Sun, 03 Dec 2017 17:37:30 +0000 Neelie 1864873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Potato Latkes!&nbsp; Delish, but so oily and the house smells for days from the frying.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/foods-you-make-once-a-year#post-1864849 Sun, 03 Dec 2017 13:59:36 +0000 Gail 1864849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I make a Christmas Cake and Mince pies.

Family and friends still laugh thinking of the time I was invited to&nbsp;dinner by a dear lady I know. She promised me a "specialty" of hers. When I arrived I found out that it was pumpkin dumplings. Well, I eat everything, the only thing that I dislike is pumpkin. Of course I ate them and pretended that I liked them a lot ... </p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/foods-you-make-once-a-year#post-1864332 Fri, 01 Dec 2017 06:48:25 +0000 rachylou 1864332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cookies - alfajores.

I was thinking I might make my famous brie-mushroom-port soup (really from a Williams-Sonoma cookbook). It's so rich, I only dare make it once a year. Same with baked beans and steamed bread, posole, my cranberry tart, and so on. These aren't holiday foods, they just have a short season in my mental rotation when I think of them even though I could make them almost any time. What are you cooking now? </p>
