Break cake

It is ironic that the time that I have been eating lots is the time that I have been writing less of it. I havent been having much variety. Bored of whole wheat with peaut butter and brown rice, I have finally moved to some grapes and banana.
I first read of Viennese brownies on womansday.com but hey picture wins. with these I hope to break the fast of not having made desserts in a long time.
I have a birthday coming up. Cake time again. Yippee!

Thinking about Viennese brownies, I realise that it rhymes. Instead of baking them in a 9x9 square pan, I used a 8in round pan. And there started my troubles. I dont know why I wanted the brownies to be like pie slices, I had to almost bake them double time. Family and friends liked the taste, so no regret. I felt that the cream cheese part tasted like khalakand sweet.What I made didnt have the nice sandwich layer like in the pictures. once of the reasons is the swirl that I did which I shouldnt have because I put almond slices on the top. It was hard to decide what I wanted. The swirl look or the almond topping look. I was going to do half of this and half of that, but I did both which kind of served only half the purpose.

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.
