Apple strawberry pie? With what appears to be homemade crust? That looks absolutely delicious!

Slick · « **Reply #202 on:** 09 Apr 2008, 21:25 »

Apple Strawberry! More deliciousness in blog!

Social Bacon · « **Reply #203 on:** 09 Apr 2008, 21:30 »

That brownie pie sounds rich enough to feed an army with just a single pie. I hope you don't mind terribly if I steal the majority of your recipes... >_>

That is what they are there for! My knowledge is your knowledge! Open source it all!

Darling I fear to consecrate our union as our parents would have none of it. Ours must be a secret love, hidden beneath the light of the stars, lest we are revealed to my fathers eyes under the harsh light of day.

Strawberry-Pineapple Angel Food Cake!

ridiculously easy to make, and super delicious!
I had to make something for a family get together so i ran to the store at the last minute.
I bought a can of crushed pineapples, some whipped cream, some strawberries, and an angel food cake.

I mixed the crushed pineapples (after they'd been refrigerated) in a bowl with the whipped cream. Then I cut the cake into three layers, topped the bottom layer with the pineapple cream, and then put the second layer on top of that, then repeated. Once I did this, i covered the cake with the leftover pineapple cream. I cut some strawberries and put them along the top for decoration. I remembered at this point that my family really like strawberries. So I cut up some more and poured them into the hole in the middle, and topped it off with a whole strawberry. The family loved it!

Dear James,

Emaline does not love you nearly as much as I do. Please come to Fargo immediately so we can begin our beautiful life together.

Love,
Liz

OMFG! those pink green iced ones look sooo good, my mouth is watering.

Emaline · « **Reply #211 on:** 16 Apr 2008, 18:10 »

Dear Liz,

Can't we share?

Take care,
Emaline

Dear James,

That's alright. I was never really the marrying type anyway.

But you'll still bake me something awesome, right?

Take care,
Emaline

Also,

bacon chocolate chip cookies are totally in the oven right now!

Liz · « **Reply #212 on:** 16 Apr 2008, 18:24 »

Dear Emaline,

We will have to work out a schedule.

Sincerely,
Liz

Slick · « **Reply #213 on:** 18 Apr 2008, 16:50 »

So, which of you two a) put out on the first date and/or b) are coming to Toronto?

Emaline · « **Reply #214 on:** 20 Apr 2008, 01:28 »

a) Depends on how much I like you
b) Maybe this summer.

Also, cookies tasted great! Very maplely. I was pleased. But I didn't use the right amount of baking soda(because I realized too late that I didn't have any measuring spoons), and the dough was too dry, so I wasn't 100% happy with the look and texture of them. Plus they fell apart super easy. Next time(yes, there will totally be a next time for bacon chocolate chip cookies!) I bake them, I think I will not only use the correct amount of baking soda, but up how much butter I put in the as well as put less chocolate in them. I'm not a super huge fan of chocolate chips. This recipe called for two cups(as well as 2 cups of bacon). I think I'll reduce it to only 1.

Man, lots of baking and two Hot Ladies fighting over me? This is probably the best thing a thread could ever be.

Dear James,

I think you should not date either Liz or Em and date me instead. I am 100% sure I will be in Toronto.

Sincerely, Lindsey

I seriously need to make a strawberry apple pie now. It's two of my favorite fruits in one flaky crust.

Slick · « **Reply #217 on:** 20 Apr 2008, 13:32 »

Yesssssssssss.
I think this calls for three-way mud wrestling over me. Except, instead of mud, we could use pie filling.

Toba · « **Reply #218 on:** 21 Apr 2008, 16:23 »

James,

I think you should date me instead. Oh wait, I think I should be using my sock puppet girl account for this. Shit. Too late.

Love, Toba

Emaline · « **Reply #219 on:** 21 Apr 2008, 17:25 »

You guys! Can't we just share? I mean, we can still mud wrestle, but I think we should share too.

Lines · « **Reply #220 on:** 22 Apr 2008, 06:34 »

We can only share if I lose the mud/pie filling wrestling match. >.>

Toba · « **Reply #221 on:** 22 Apr 2008, 11:01 »

So how about that baking, eh?

Slick · « **Reply #222 on:** 27 Apr 2008, 19:29 »

I used about thirteen cups (sliced) of strawberries and over a half-dozen limes this weekend.
Awesome potluck at my house.

Orbert · « **Reply #223 on:** 28 Apr 2008, 09:35 »

So... strawberry and lime pie?

Lines · « **Reply #224 on:** 28 Apr 2008, 16:32 »

Guh...wha...uh..om nom? It's my favorite Jones soda but in a pie. I hope you are aware that I am kidnapping you after Tronnocon. I will also kidnap Em and Liz and you will bake us pies and we will stare at you in adoration.

Slick · « **Reply #225 on:** 28 Apr 2008, 17:10 »

Well I guess I'd be down for that.

The real question is, can I have a kidnap fantasy, or does the word fantasy imply a level of desire that negates the applicability of the term 'kidnap'?

Liz · « **Reply #226 on:** 07 May 2008, 21:02 »

I like Linds' plan. A lot.

And I think the fantasy thing could work, we'll just take you by surprise at some point when you aren't enjoying the fantasy. So you get both.

I was going to call you a nerd, but I can't. Because I thought the same thing.

That is cool bread! He is not ugly, but rather awesome! Did you make it yourself?

lilypie · « **Reply #234 on:** 14 May 2008, 18:22 »

i did indeed! i'm a baker by night (of mostly loaf bread) and had some leftover dough i just couldn't throw away
and thanks again

Haha, I am going to feel silly for posting this picture here...but it is the only picture of anything I have ever done. >_<

Basically a pate choux swan dusted lightly with powdered sugar filled with Grand Marnier creme filling lazily floating on a pool of raspberry coulis, with white and milk chocolate ganache star garnishes. Go me?

Ballard · « **Reply #236 on:** 19 May 2008, 13:36 »

That is gorgeous.

And makes me so hungry.

Go you.

Slick · « **Reply #237 on:** 19 May 2008, 17:22 »

fucking whoa.

Devoidless · « **Reply #238 on:** 19 May 2008, 17:36 »

Haha, thanks! That was one of the more fun things I ever had to make. Pastries are still baking, right? Well, as far as I am concerned they are. You bake them. ^_^

That was...erm...over a year ago? Maybe two by now. Either way, I was around 18 when I made that. And 55 others. Great times.

Real men make pastry swans in coulis pools. It is true.

20 jazz funk greats · « **Reply #239 on:** 19 May 2008, 18:38 »

i am not sure whether i'd even eat that or just stare at it in wonder.

Slick · « **Reply #240 on:** 19 May 2008, 21:34 »

Are you some kind of person who makes food as their life?

Emaline · « **Reply #241 on:** 19 May 2008, 21:50 »

umm.....

Devoidless,

Devoidless · « **Reply #242 on:** 19 May 2008, 22:20 »

Slick...Yes, yes I am. It some times pays the bills, but most of the time it just makes me feel awesome when people look at the food and struggle deciding whether or not they want to actually eat it.

Edit: Haha, I get it now. Heh. I r teh slow.

Anyone else want to fawn over my swan? ^_^

Slick · « **Reply #243 on:** 19 May 2008, 23:25 »

Wait shit girls are swooning over your baking and not mine!

FIGHT. YOU.

Lines · « **Reply #244 on:** 20 May 2008, 09:41 »

That swan is both very pretty and delicious looking. I would be one of those people who had to think about it before I ate it.

Liz · « **Reply #245 on:** 20 May 2008, 10:18 »

I would take a picture, then pull it apart by its different swan body parts.

Because I'm weird like that.

Devoidless · « **Reply #246 on:** 20 May 2008, 10:49 »

What the hell do you think I did?

First thing I did was pull off it's scrawny swan neck and dip it both in it's delicious swan filling then the pool of coulis. Then ate it's face. But I made it, so it is understandable. All I has running through my head was "I made you, and I can break you!"

limeandcrackedpepper · « **Reply #247 on:** 20 May 2008, 22:48 »

Ok so... I'm new to posting so please don't eat me... It was my parents anniversary recently (i dont know how many years

So my sister and I baked them a cake and this is it...

Its my sister in the pic not me...

See, show me someone who can make a beautiful braided challah. Its my current project at the moment.

Me; I'm a french toast GOD.

Right now, I'm playing with nutmeg and vanilla in the batter in the batter.

Then, after you make the toast, either put it in the oven to keep warm, or keep in the pan (carefully)
and mix sliced bananas, a teensy tiny bit of nutmeg, and a pad or two of butter and get a fry the bananas until brown.
Adding the bananas at different times of the procedure can change the outcome.
Trying other spices instead of nutmeg is usually interesting too. (I've used ginger...which is interesting)

Serve with Grade B Vermont maple syrup (avoid Grade A) and milk.
