  I was wondering if you have a copycat of the Rosemary Cornbread served 
  at the House of Blues restaurants.  I know that it has red and yellow 
  peppers in it in addition to the rosemary.

  Thanks

Hi Kathy,

I found two copycat recipes. See below.

Lamb Seasoning

  On the brand of seasoning or recipe used by Outback Steakhouse on the 
  rack of lamb. Not the cabernet sauce, but the actual seasoning or spices 
  used on the lamb?
  Any ideas?

  Thanks,

  Ken

Hello Ken,

My guess is that it's Schwartz Lamb Seasoning. Just a guess, though.

Below is a recipe for homemade lamb seasoning. Can't say that it's the same as Outback's, though.

Phaed

  Lamb Seasoning:

  1 tbsp. sweet paprika
  2-1/2 tsp. kosher salt
  1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
  1/2 tsp. white pepper
  1/2 tsp. black pepper
  1/2 tsp. dried thyme
  1/2 tsp. dried oregano
  1/4 tsp. dried rosemary, crushed

Mix and store in a airtight container in a cool place.
--------------------------------------------------------

Lamb Seasoning like Outback

1 1/2tsp  kosher or sea salt
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp Paprika
1/2 tsp Powdered garlic
1/4 tsp Powdered onion
1/4 tsp Cayenne
1/4 tsp dried thyme 
1/4 tsp dried rosemary
1/4 tsp dried basil 
1/4 tsp Dried Marjoram
1/4 tsp dried oregano

Mix in a small bowl. Sprinkle each rack with the seasoning blend
before cooking.

Piloncillo Sugar Cones

  Subject: How do I make solid sorghum/molasses sugar cones?

  We saw these 2 to 3 inch cones at a big flea market displayed in 
  rustic tinware containers for decorative purposes.  The looked like 
  they had been poured into a wood sugar mold.  Would love to know how 
  to make.  Do you have a recipe or any suggestions? 

  Thanks,

Hello Jewell,

Well, if we are reading from the same sheet of music, these are "piloncillo". They're little cones of brown sugar made by pouring liquid raw sugar into sugar molds. They aren't the sort of thing you can make at home. They're common in Mexico and Central & South America. You might find them in a Mexican grocery in Boulder or Denver. Or, on your next vacation go down across the border and you can pick up all you want.
