I have made, what, four apple cakes, and none of them have turned out. Sigh. But I still had a bunch of apples, so I pulled out Baby Cakes again, determined that perhaps this one last time, something from their cookbook would turn out the way I expected. Cartoonist saw the book, and said, no, […]

Apple Cake, again, gluten free
Yes I am still trying to find a way to get through all the apples that we have been getting from our CSA. Come winter, we will miss them, but for now, we just want to use them before they all go bad. And I am being stubborn. I know there must be a good […]
How not to make souffle
Why is it when I take plenty of pictures, lots of pictures, that the dish doesn’t turn out too well, but when I only remember to take one picture, it is the best thing I have ever eaten or made. Sometimes, I don’t even get a picture of it. It all started when we got […]
Chilled Apple and Carrot Soup Part II
As often happens there is a lag time when things have to go into the fridge and wait. Once I got the mix off the pot, I had to blend it again, with the apple sauce I had made the other day. Problem was that it was quite hot, so I couldn’t just reach my […]
Chilled apple and carrot soup, Part I
Once again, we have too many apples (Is it possible?), so we looked up another recipe from the Savor book. We decided, because of the weather, to make Chilled Apple and Carrot Soup. We had most of the ingredients, and those we didn’t have, that we didn’t get, were just those for the garnish, which […]
Too much deviation, another apple cake
On of the first things Cartoonist and I wanted to do was to bake something from the Savor cook book, which we had picked up on the cruise. We looked and looked, remembering how things tasted, and decided ont he Low-Fat Apple cake. We didn’t have the ingredients for the Coulis sauce, nor for the […]
why apple sauce, of course
I was at a loss. I had baked and cooked, and couldn’t figure out what else to do. I lamented to my sweetie, when she called, that I still had all these apples left, and I didn’t want them to go bad. Why don’t you make apple sauce? she asked. That is what you usually […]
Wonderful Apple Custard Pie
As I said, I love the Moosewood Cookbook. The recipe for Apple Custard Pie was easy to follow and tasted great. Cartoonist said this was one we had to make again. This called for 2 cups of peeled and sliced apples, put in to a pie crust. I am really bad at making pie crusts. […]
Apple Bread, turns out
I love the Enchanted Broccoli Forest, as well as The Moosewood Cookbook. I have not been let down by anything I have cooked from there, so I turned to these two books for what I made next. I found an Apple Bread that didn’t look bad, or too hard, so I set to it. First, […]
Apple Cake, Cement Cake
I still had plenty of apples, so the next recipe I decided to make was one from the newspaper, and I decided to alter it as much as I wanted…and yes, I knew that was a bad idea, but oh well. I not only wanted to use up apples, but the plums I had, and […]
