Wow. To blintzes??

Blintzes with pics for PM and Sleevendog so I can say I post food pics

I started this story in the gadgets thread where I was extolling making hoop cheese and the gadgets so employed.

Cheese update: The rubberiness went away after it was cool, and once crumbled, it did look very similar to the hoop cheese of my childhood. In the filling, it was damper than normal, but it was only from yesterday and I think that's just a matter of not getting a chance to dry out a bit. As I was looking at my filing and wondering what to do, I remembered that my mother sometimes threw a handful of bisquik into it. So I put in a heaping tablespoon of flour and a tiny bit of baking powder, as well as a little of the salt I'd withheld. That seemed to tighten up the filling just enough. I hope the bit of bp will help it be fluffier than meltier.

I've been overdoing and was just too tired to make applesauce or pearsauce, but I remembered that I'd been tasked with showing food pictures. I'm never going to even come close to AnnT level food porn. These are just iPad snaps in a hurry. I finally figured out a flavor thing. What blintz pancakes taste like is custard. :)

A Scrap of Hoop Cheese. I forgot to take a picture of the whole thing.

The Filling--hoop cheese, cream cheese, eggs, sugar and salt

The blintz pancakes. Very yellow. Must be the corn fed chickens.

Blintzes rolled and ready for the oven. They're supposed to be blond. The lovely toasty one is actually overcooked, since these still have to be oiled and baked. It'll be fine. Someone will want the dark one. :)

ETA: I was right. The overdone blintz was the first to go. :) The rest of us didn't want it, but there's always one...

Yes, I also got "page not found". What in the world did you put in those blintzes?

LOL! Annie, I haven't the foggiest what made them not found it. The copy with the photos shows in this thread doesn't it?

Lol! Incendiary blintzes. No evidence they ever existed.

Nope, no photos!

Nope, Plllog, no photos and the link does not work. They were so good they just disappeared! Yeah, that's it.

Makes no sense that it posted on your end then went into oblivion. I had trouble a few months ago, maybe 6 or so, but many here were dealing with the same issue with photo posting.

I have no issues with pic-less posts as I explained before. Having I-cloud and my cell phone always with me it is easier than describing in written form.

If it is a PITA pulling out a camera, then finding download cables, then formatting, then posting....no way would I bother.

I was just teasing about the pictures, Sleevendog. I thought making the cheese was worth taking the pictures but didn't think of them until it was too late to document the process (which is pretty boring anyway), but the blintzes were out of the daily norm enough to document, so on the basis of Annie's "they won't let me post more than one photo in the [originating post]" I'm going to try again with one picture at a time because I'm stubborn that way (not because they're particularly exciting or lovely pictures).

I did not think you took that seriously. (wink) ...the only other issue I can think of is, like I often do, is start a post, then get distracted, then come back and try to post the next day...then it is blocked with a time-out issue. Or whatever that means.

I often have a 'cart' in a favorite provider that holds the cart for months... some delete my cart within a few days...similar annoyance.

Oh, I hate that cart empty thing. They take away your time filling it. They could at least have a button to save your cart. It's not a cookie thing, I don't think, though maybe smaller vendors still do it that way.

The issue with the thread was different. I actually saw the title in the index when I posted it. It's still there on my dashboard. I'm at the computer now. I'm posting a new version.

FWIW, when someone flags a post or thread, it remains visible to the person who posted it even though nobody else can see it.

I have to wonder if yours is just a houzz glitch, since Emily said in another forum that now it takes two flags to disappear a post.

Hmmm... It disappeared from the index for me, but the pictures are visible to me in this thread. I posted them one per comment in the new thread.

Is this the blintz thread? Blintz THread?

Jerzeegirl, that's the NEW blintz thread which I posted this afternoon. New words, same photos. Thank-you for proving that other people can see it too!

Oh wow. I guess someone has it in for blintzes! I personally don't think they are very controversial. :-)

blintz krieg?
