No Limoncello Tiramisu

My mind is set on Lidia's Limoncello Tiramisu but with substitution and deletion.

I have made an original recipe earlier with the marsala, saviordi lady fingers and mascarpone. I want to make a next door girl version of it.
I have seen homemade mascarpone recipe before. But looking at this recipe I want to substitute it with Cream cheese an cream. This is a good time to make homemade ladyfingers.
Yesterday at Costco, I saw a well package Pallini Limoncello with 2 glasses inside. Universe! I'm not giving in.

Lidia's recipe seems to be labyrinthic. Lets see where we end up.

What happens when your substitute needs to be substituted? It being Christmas eve, the usual tiny cartons of heavy cream are sold. I didnt want my fridge to be the heavy cream capital of the city. To see what happens, half-and-half was my object under test.
Its one thing to find a recipe for home made stuff and another to have comments that it didnt work. At the time I found the comments, there was no time to retract the choice. I hoped that if the ladyfingers didnt turn out as wished, I would replace it with toasted bread, sort of layered dabal ka meeta.  When I found the batter runny by ust dripping a spoonful onto the pan. I went with two giant unladylike saucer shape cookies.  It did turn out to be a good idea to set the tiramisu in a bowl with two concentric discs.
The end turned out to be cheesy. I kept limiting the sugar.
In the protracted time available, I cutshort all methods and soaked the cookie rounds in lemon liquid.
with less sugar, the sour taste came out and reminded me of Shrikhand

Egg Malai Masala

  Egg Malai Masala  Its fun when things turn out as they should. I pureed the onions and then cooked them well. I added the milk for the egg Malai Masala and made chicken curry with other half of the onion base. I used kasoori methi in both. Many times I have felt the onions grainy, but this time I got it right. Patience.

Cuban Bread

So you should already know the sweet and breadrolls book if you have already read of the popovers. I have planned on making bread for a long time. A detour of popovers and finally I'm aqui. From the same book, I tried this Cuban bread and enjoyed making the slits in the bread. Like a surgeon. I still have to get the proofing right. The actual recipe reading takes place in real time. I was reading about the bread on the web and when I came across the lines about how it is different from a French bread in that it is left to rise after shaping the loaf, I was worried that my Cuban bread would lose its nationality. Turns out that I hadnt progressed that far into the recipe. The Best American travel writing 2008 Khubz al arabi
