We had pork kebobs, corn on the cob, and the last of the potato salad and cole slaw.
I've posted the recipe for Berries and Cream Cake in the Recipes forum. BakerAunt, I think you'll need to make quite a few modifications; the fat content is high, but that is what makes it so tasty! Mike, I think a clafoutis is more like a Dutch Baby, as that has quite a few eggs and no butter, but is also a great way to eat berries. Enjoy!
Today I made a Berries and Cream Cake, one of my absolute most favorite desserts. It's not really a cake, more like a cheesecake, but not really a cheesecake. It's baked in a 10" springform pan. The crust is like a shortbread, then a quart of berries (I used blueberries, and next will be blackberry, then a raspberry, and I plan to try a peach) poured into the crust. A filling of sour cream, sugar, egg, vanilla is poured over all of this. It's not very sweet, but the fruit just takes the flavor over the top! I got the recipe from a local newspaper recipe contest many, many years ago. About 5, maybe 10 years later, KAF published it online as their recipe. My original newspaper copy says nothing about KAF. I noticed today, as I searched to compare their recipe to the original, that it is no longer on their website. If anyone is interested, I'd be happy to post it here.
Dinner was omelets, with ham, cheese, peppers, and onion; and English muffins. Tropical storm Isaias has arrived! Winds are now 30's mph, rain, some heavy and some not so much. I expect we'll lose power soon, as there are reports of numerous trees down.
Tornado warnings, but nothing sighted so far.burgers and corn on the cob!
We had salmon, cole slaw, steamed zucchini and summer squash, potato salad and tomatoes from the garden.
I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom, cwcdesign. Not being able to visit makes it so much more difficult to cope with. My thoughts are with you.
It says they are one use -- I suspect they could be used more than once, like for cookies, scones, etc. just as parchment can be reused? You probably would not want to re-use it if it had "collected grease", as is mentioned. Re-use would make it more affordable.
I hate the one-way signs in the grocery store, although I understand the need for one-way aisles. Another good thing about the special shopping hours for mature people, etc., is with very few shoppers in the store, it's easy to slip down the aisle the wrong way, especially if you just want something at this end. I don't need to go down every aisle in the store, and with mobility issues, I don't want to cover any "extra" territory. I've stood there trying to figure out how to cover my shopping list when all the aisles from where I stand are "exit" aisles!
Today I used a KAF mix!! It's the Goodness mix for sour cream cinnamon streusel coffee cake. I've made it before, and it is very good. Someone gave me this for Christmas, and I'm trying to use up older things in my pantry.
Mike, I love shopping then. It's a lovely half hour drive with little traffic. Only a few shoppers in the store, although the aisles may be crowded with employees stocking shelves and their huge carts; at my store, most items are well-stocked. Back in March, the deli, fish, and meat departments were closed, but after a few weeks, they too opened early. And, if you are retired, by 8:30 you can be home, groceries put away, and back in bed for a nap!
I went grocery shopping at 6:30 this morning, the old folks time-slot. So dinner tonight will be clean out the fridge. I'm thinking of soft flour tacos, stuffed with leftovers plus cheese and salsa, or maybe a tzatziki sauce.
Skeptic, I can smell that now - wonderful. Is the texture like gingerbread or more like cornbread? I think it would be great with baked beans!
We had zucchini-cheese pancakes, a KAF recipe I've not tried before. It was easy to mix, and cook on the griddle, and had excellent consistency and texture. They were pretty bland although I increased the herbs, using fresh garlic, basil from my garden, and dried oregano. For cheese, I used a parmesan-romano-asiago blend. Next time I would replace some of that with a sharp cheddar. It called for 4 cups of zucchini, so I used up a 10 inch almost over-ripe zuke. I'll probably make them again. With it, we had sliced Italian sausage, sweet red pepper, onion, and a small potato, all cooked in a cast iron fry pan. A tasty dish and good to use up some leftovers.
