One thing leads to another

Lemon drum beats its presence. One jar of pickles that I ignored was the one with cut lemons in it. It took a friend to acknowledge its taste. She is a lemon cake fan. Lemon Honey cupcakes sounded right. When you are working with a bottle of honey or caramel, you know what ayou are getting into, but when you buy 2 cups of sourcream, theres a theater going in the cosmos, the pre making of another thing.
Such was the situation where I had lots of sourcream left and a remnant of a mix of sugar and butter mix for frosting. Had I got the confectioners sugar, this wouldnt follow.
With so much already at hand I dived into my first 'sans mix' cake- a Sour cream banana coffee cake. I have had this one before at havasupai. A hike buddy made it. It took a while to cook but it did a good job.
Lemon Snaps.

Chemical study of food

Can you guess the physics experiments that  potato chips  are put to?  Cake recovery. siphon cake The picture of  algination  looks like people in a line dancing alternately with the next one's hands and legs.

Banana pudding

I went over the roasted banana pudding recipe from yesterday and found it too consuming (shopping time, dishes, baking time), I finally decided on  caramelized banana pudding . And meringue making is merry. Flour is used in making the custard.  all purpose flour plays the corn starch  role of thickening the custard. I used  Parle G  instead of vanilla wafers.

Slices and Stallions

While there are books that are all about just one ingredient like Flavored oils and vinegars there are others that are about a gamut of things. Everything Pizza cookbook has recipes for all the kinds of pizza that there can be with different crusts, sauces, cheeses, toppings. Smoked Salmon Pizza, Polenta Pizza. Cooking for engineers Tasso Ham . When I read that Tasso is also the name of an Italian poet, I wanted to point to his work too. I looked for it but found it in prehistoric language. It so happens that I am reading poems about horses and recognised Tasso's name beneath his poem translated. Second paragraph has life infused in it with equine motions. Another poem that I like in this collection is 'New Foal' by Ted Hughes.
