Cherry pie

Fabulous! I hope you enjoyed it.

Absolutely, it was quite tasty, even though the crust was made from fake butter (dairy allergy in family)!

My wife made this strawberry rhubarb crisp after I came home with some of our first local strawberries. We will be having it somewhat warm with vanilla ice cream as soon as granddaughter finishes her dinner. I am excited about having it.

That's not fair

Rhubarb & Strawberry Pie

Locally sourced, farm fresh, seasonal pie bake

[MadMatt]

Chelsea buns..

Cooked in my 14" anodised pizza pan.

Problem is the middle never cooks enough compared to outer.   The pan takes up all oven space  and its pretty close to the heating element at he back so I rotate them a lot during baking.

Burnt Cheesecake - Basque La Vina Style

WOW. Bill, what animal is this? Okay I looked it up. Nice!  I am getting so hungry looking at all these beautiful desserts, and a good chuckle from Craig's original burnt ends pizza. 


I sure do need to make a dessert soon.

I can't believe I didn't think of that.

I Made another rhubarb& strawberry pie with my grandson today. Fun day! He helped me put my freezer batch of pizza dough into autolyse also. I was impressed that when the scale got to 1400-ish grams, while we were adding the water, he told me to slow down because we were getting close! Kids are so smart today!
 Can I digress just a little more? I ordered Nate, a Schwinn Pea peeler stingray reissue. So cool the bike of my youth! I wanted to get him the "Crate" model, but that reissue is over, and the after market price for new in the box is $800.00 Simoleans!  I could not justify that. (Sucks not being rich)
Anyway, The vitals on todays rhubarb pie.
1. Fresh locally sourced fruit
2. My own formula Lard/butter pastry. I like the idea of making a dedicated pastry for each pie, I added a 1/2 tsp. of ginger to this batch.

Mexican Pastel de Elote (Sweet Corn Cake)

[texmex]

Ricotta cheesecake with zest of orange.
I winged it and ended up with a bonus sidecake.
Is it okay to eat warm cheesecake straight out of the pan?

.  Yes... It's jus fine to do that. Especially at need time

Reesa, have you ever heard of a Mexican sweet cake that uses very fine ground bread crumbs instead of flour?  (day old bread)

Thank you.

Hmmmm,  I can't think of anything like that except for  bread pudding. It's Capirotada you're probably thinking of.  They get crazy with new ingredient combos, and I mean questionable combos, but what the hey, it ain't pizza and pineapple is allowed. .   I really have never liked it....but some people do make mellower ones.  I can't think of anything else sweet using old bread in a Mexican dish, and I have made plenty of bread puddings that weren't capirotada.. I hope that's it, Bob. I'm curious if it isn't.

Chocolate Chip Rye cookies (w/ Caraway.).  I may have drizzled 1 or 2 with mikes hot honey while they were still hot.

I'd flip them bad boys over and soak them with whiskey

No, unfortunately that is not it. But thanks for trying.
This was back in the 80's.....they were just regular old sheet pan cakesand maybe like 2in. tall after baking. No iceing, topping...jus plain light tan big squares of delishious cake.
