It’s neither Irish nor Potato. I stumbled across this recipe years ago. For whatever reason, there has been a photocopy of some newspaper/magazine recipe for it in my recipe folder (a physical folder, not a computer folder). I finally threw it out a few months back. Then I’m asked to bring something potato-y to aContinue reading “Irish Potato Candy”

Leftovers
The Chess Pie resulted in much leftover fondant. What does one do with extra fondant? Why make not-Oreos, of course. I swear I have a blog post about that, already, but I don’t see it now and I’m supposed to be working, so this needs to be fast. A friend is having a birthday partyContinue reading “Leftovers”
Learning 2 Bake from Scratch XLIX
Chess Pie I asked the crochet group what sort of pie they wanted for Pi Day. They said “chess”. The picture is the ingredients for the chess part. I used the recipe from The Pioneer Woman for the “chess” part. I used my pie crust recipe. Because I want a copy/paste version with multiple sizesContinue reading “Learning 2 Bake from Scratch XLIX”
Road 2 Destruction
We went to the Monster Truck thing last Saturday. I’m not sure how I feel about it. The pit pass was neat. I’ve never seen a monster truck up close. They’re not just lifted trucks. The engine is in the middle and the axels are insane. For example, torso-sized (to avoid the metric system) differentials.Continue reading “Road 2 Destruction”
Signal/Noise Ratio Record?
How can such a short article have so much wrong with it?!?! About the only thing clear is what started it all: “a group of middle school students were accused of using artificial intelligence to create nude images of their classmates.” and “the fake images contained students’ faces superimposed onto nude bodies.” The rest ofContinue reading “Signal/Noise Ratio Record?”
Danish Update
Speaking of late posts, the danish saga is four batches behind! I’ve been experimenting with the original recipe from #42. I was in a hurry, so I did it without all the resting steps. They turned out fine – although I did let them sit ready-to-bake overnight in the refrigerator. I had left-over lemon curdContinue reading “Danish Update”
Patio Pre-Pour
This happened back in September, but I want the photo public. It’s apparently too big to fit through outlook.com filters. I usually shrink my phone photos, but I want this one full sized. It’s the only evidence we have that a footer (that trench on the far side of the hot tub) was poured andContinue reading “Patio Pre-Pour”
Yearbook Tiles
Fifteen years ago, we had an idea for a fun backsplash for the bar: Have our friends sign tiles. We managed the latter, but we never put them up. They’re up, now. A picture of the whole kitchen would be helpful for context. One sec… That’s the downstairs, rental-to-be kitchen. Rick finished the tile, yesterday.Continue reading “Yearbook Tiles”
Happy Birthday
I was never promised a rose garden, but I got the harvest! The Laird is the romatical one. A rose for every year. Good luck counting, because I’m not telling.
How Electricity Propagates
The best experiment/demonstration I have ever seen. I don’t want to lose it. Everything I’ve watched on that channel is good, but this is brilliant.
