The Kitchen Table

When it rains, I bake.

10 years ago

When we have dark dreary rainy days like today, I bring back Summer with a fresh fruit torte. I used fresh pears that I got at the store. Mine are long past. I got this recipe from the Cooking Forum back in 2009. Makes a nice desert or something to have with your morning coffee. Click on the link for the recipe.

If you were at my house, I'd pray for rain.

I can tell it's good just by looking at it! Can send a slice over to my spot at the Table?

Shabbybeach, I love the totems. Yes, the red one is a totem, an expecially useful one. And I specially love the Chandie with the solar lights. Thats a perfect idea, and I will be adding to my chandie when I get home. There is no elec to my chandie, so your idea is perfect. I didn't think about the solar thingys. Now just what beach are you going to?? LOve, Love, LoVe, the doll baby!! What a cutie, no wonder she's the love of your life!

After all this rain, when can I plant some perennial plants?
Q
Comments (2)
It will be awhile. I have vegetable plants and flowers setting in my garage now waiting to plant. Local weather is saying we will have rain most of the week. If you already have the plants just keep them in a dry area and where they can get as much light as they can. The rain water will be great to water the plants when needed. If you plant in wet soil, the ground will harden around the plants and they may die. I will wait until a shovel in the ground brings drier soil.

When you bake/roast chicken breasts ...

I think we should all try Jasdip's breasts LOL!!! That is funny. But it does indeed sound delish. I do some thing similar generally I use Panko crumbs. You can always use one of those thin digital meat thermometers to check for doneness. My old one left a huge hole in the meat so I got a very thin one with a digital read out and it is much easier. I am pretty sure I got it at Bed Bath and Beyond on their wall of everything you may ever need for the kitchen. I love visiting that wall!

Should i put my Variegated Lemon tree under the carport when it rains
Q

If anything, unless you don't have drainage holes, it will just stay evenly moist.If I could leave mine in rain all day too for days, I would..What does the mix feel like? Does it feel sopping wet, or just moist? I would though make sure it is getting fertilized on a regular basis at this time or that you are using a slow release one along with your regular regimen)

Yum! They had beautiful pears at the store, but I can't use them because I have to make my pie for someone who can't have them. :( I'm just going to salivate (from afar) over yours!

Oh my gosh, that looks wonderful.

I will bake my little mince meat pies either tomorrow or Thursday. Today it was raining and a good day for baking like you say, but it's a little too soon. I don't like the pies to sit too long and our family Christmas won't be until the 26th. :(

Looks too pretty to cut! But the taste probably makes that feeling dissipate quickly. ;)

murraysmom - It is called a torte pan. It has a removable bottom so easier to get the dessert out. I got mine at the thrift store for a couple of dollars. I am always on the look out for kitchen stuff there.
Torte pan

Wish I could send you all a piece. It is really yummy with any kind of fruit. And easy to make.
