PatBastrop, I finally used the "piloncillo" that you sent me!

It has been sitting in the pastry drawer for quite some time. Last night I wanted to make "skirt" fajitas and the marinade recipe called for brown sugar or Mexican sugar.

I popped right out of my seat, went to the drawer and there it was, all its unadulterated sugar cane glory.

I had to take a cleaver to it, but the first taste gave a flashback memory to what "brown sugar" USED TO taste like.

I'm definitely going to try oatmeal cookies with it and see if they have a more authentic, old-fashioned taste.

Thanks again for sharing Texas with me!

 
Good to know. Thanks, M. However, I did get a vicarious thrill

whacking that sucker with a cleaver.

(I fear there may be a dark Stephen King spot in me somewhere.)
