      I may not do any baking today, it's supposed to get to 96 again.

        I made burger buns early this morning, before it heated up; 95 here.

          I had peaches that needed to get used up, so I made a peach tart in the style of an Irish Apple Cake.

            That looks delicious, Mike!

              That does look good! I've been looking at peach recipes today. I have peaches to use up before I leave town on Wednesday, but I have only 3 peaches, which isn't quite enough for much of anything. I'm figuring diced and use in scones or muffins, but probably not enough for a tart or cobbler.

                  Oh yum, that looks good.

                  I made a sticky toffee pudding because Sam’s had a 2 pound box of Medjool dates for under $8. We’ll dig into it shortly

                    I made a double batch of crust to fit in a 10 1/2 inch diameter tart pan, this is a recipe I often make in individual ramekins. I used 5 fairly large peaches, so you've probably got enough for a smaller tart or a half dozen or so individual-sized ones.

                    Darina Allen's Irish Apple Cake recipe is online, I believe. You make the dough, which is quite soft, put some on the bottom of the dish(es), add the filling, then put some more on top.

                      Thanks for the ideas, Mike. I might try making small tarts in the burger bun pan. I also have a tart pan that I recall is about 5 x 10 or 12" that might work. I'd have to do a little math first!

                        Not sure how easily they'll come out of a burger bun pan, that's why I use ramekins for individual-sized ones.

                          I made an apple cobbler today.

                            It's a good day for cobbler, Joan! On Monday I baked that Blueberry Cobbler from The King Arthur Baker’s Companion, using the same changes I made last time, except that I used lime juice in place of lemon juice, as I had a lime that I wanted to use.

                              Mike, I use the burger bun pan often for individual sized tarts and pies. I take them out of the pan, freeze them on cookie sheets, then wrap in plastic wrap and put in zip-locks. A nice stash for my husband! I am going to make the Irish Apple Cake soon; it sounds really good, and I found the recipe on line easily.

                              Today I made peach muffins, based loosely on a recipe from Mrs M on the obc. Tomorrow I'll use the same recipe to make raspberry muffins for a potluck. I freeze the berries separately so they don't mush and fall apart when folding them into the dough.

                              I also made chocolate chip cookies. I'm leaving for Maine tomorrow for a week, so I'm done baking and cooking for a while.

                                Have a fun and safe trip Chocomouse.

                                  This talk about cobbler and peach muffins has me salivating.

                                  Yesterday I managed to make a batch of sandwich buns before the storm rolled in and took out my electricity.
