What's for dessert-#1 2009
Comments (106)Tracey, you know I'm another who is happy to see this post going on. I LOVE dessert! I'll take two of everything posted since my last time here! Great pics and recipes all y'all! I'll share a couple that I took last month... Strawberry Rhubarb Pie. Mustang's (Cathy) recipe this time. Ina Garten's Blueberry Crumb Cake. Lori316 sent me those lemon coolers in a cookie exchange a couple of years ago. Love, loved those big time! Lorijean...what flavor of cake mix for that ice cream recipe? I'll confess to eating cookie dough and cake batter while bakeing. I know for sure I would love that with the crushed malted milk balls added....probably without them too! Oh man!!

Comments (18)Mother would make all of us new Easter outfits and spring coats. Daddy bought all his "girls" corsages (I'd forgotten about that until Glenda mentioned it). It was usually the time that, when we got old enough, we got our first high heels. Otherwise, it was new Mary Jane's. When we were young we'd have an Easter egg hunt outside. One year it rained so daddy hid the eggs in the house. This is not a good idea unless you plan to count the eggs befoe and after the hunt. A few days later something began to smell. A missing egg. We looked everywhere before we finally found it. I remember they used to sell large chocolate covered eggs--I think at the dime store and they would engrave children's names on them. They had different fillings and my favorite was fruit and nut. That would be in the center of our baskets rather than a chocolate rabbit. There were also candy eggs with a hard shell in pastel colors that had a sort of marshmallow-y center and jelly beans. I don't remember peeps but I probably traded mine for something else. Dinner was ham and fried chicken, scalloped potatoes, green beans, perfection salad and mother's home-made yeast rolls. I know there were other things I've long forgotten. Dessert was lamb cake. We had a two-piece mold that, when put together made a lamb kneeling down. I thought it was held together with toothpicks, but the more I think about it I think icing between the halves kept it together. After it was iced it was loaded with coconut and eyes were made from jelly beans and mouth from a strip cut off a licorice whip. Then more green-tinted coconut was sprinkled around the base for grass....See MoreEver forgotten to add eggs?
Comments (26)Oh, yes I have! I forgot to add eggs to a chocolate cake batter and the cake looked fine, but it was so obviously lacking in something when it hit the taste buds. I was so surprised at how the cake structure didnt give it away. The mouth feel sure did! Another time I missed the egg in some muffins and the result was so pleasing that I actually went ahead and named it for its forgotten egg , wrote down my "new" recipie and I quite like it. Both times I was surprised by the fact that the structure of both was still there without the egg....See Morewritersblock (9b/10a)
