Apple Pastry Roses This was inspired by a YouTube Short, which apparently cannot be embedded. I should have rewatched before making them because I put the apples in upright instead of sideways. I thought the pastry was too narrow, but it turns out the apples were too tall. In any case, I decided to tryContinue reading “Learning 2 Bake from Scratch – LXXXIV”

Learning 2 Bake from Scratch – LXXXIII
Deep Dish Pizza Friday is pizza night at dance. I’ve already done Brian’s Deep Dish (at XLIII). I’m doing it again, but with the homemade sausage and the instructed 24 hour dough rise. I didn’t copy out the ingredients, last time. Here’s the recipe, in The Joy of Cooking format. Chicago-style, Deep-dish PizzaFrom: MarkSource: BrianContinue reading “Learning 2 Bake from Scratch – LXXXIII”

Sour Cream Apple Souffle Cake Cockaigne The title and subtitle are both a bit long – it’s not my fault. Roman numerals just do that and the recipe title is from The Joy of Cooking. Yes, it’s back, finally. No, I didn’t find it a box in the garage. The Laird saw it in aContinue reading “Learning 2 Bake from Scratch – LXXXII”
Learning 2 Bake from Scratch – LXXI
Coconut Cream Pie First, the final result of LXX.V: Still excellent filling; much more stable merrang, although not quite dry; caramelized and tough crust. The crust issue turned out to be simple: I used two tablespoons of sugar instead of two teaspoons of sugar. This was immediately obvious when I started comparing crust recipes toContinue reading “Learning 2 Bake from Scratch – LXXI”
Learning 2 Bake from Scratch – LXX.V
Navel Merrang Pie The Mandarin Merrang Pie had three problems: Soggy crust, meh filling, and sticky merrang. Since today is crochet group day, I got up early to make another attempt. To address the problems: Par bake the crust until golden brown, use navel oranges instead of mandarins, and bake it longer to dry outContinue reading “Learning 2 Bake from Scratch – LXX.V”

Cinnamon Rolls Tonight’s potluck (potlach?) theme is “breakfast for dinner”. I asked “sheet-tray of bacon or cinnamon rolls?” Cinnamon rolls won the poll. I’ve had this bookmarked for ages: The recipe is not in the description. He gives it out as he goes, which makes mis en place annoying. Since I had to write itContinue reading “Learning 2 Bake from Scratch – LXX”
Learning 2 Bake from Scratch – LXIX
Plumble Pie Another Four and Twenty Blackbirds recipe for crochet group. Standard crust, plum filling, the same oat crumble on top as the Peach and Cream pie/tart. I have those little crocks due to Nina, one of my coworkers. The odd thing about that story is that I don’t remember why. I just remember thatContinue reading “Learning 2 Bake from Scratch – LXIX”
Online Speech Contest
The local Toastmaster’s online (i.e. webcam) speech contest is Monday. Last Wednesday, one of my competitors gave a practice run of her speech. It was very good and blew mine out of the water. I’ve thrown that out and I’m starting over. I like to watch YouTube cooking videos, but they’re all edited. I’m goingContinue reading “Online Speech Contest”
Bacon Floodies
I’d never heard of them, but the YouTube algorithm thought I would be interested. It was correct. These are easy enough that I didn’t even use the recipe. I made enough for two. The second one is a bit overly toasted on the bottom (i.e. burned) because I was too busy eating the first oneContinue reading “Bacon Floodies”
Cacio e Pepe
A recipe from Cook’s Illustrated. I thought it would make a good first pasta course for the Italian dinner I will be cooking (this coming Saturday). It’s supposedly difficult to get the cheese sauce right. Following the instructions in Cook’s Illustrated, it was not. It’s very simple: Pasta with Pecorino Romano cheese and black pepper.Continue reading “Cacio e Pepe”
