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

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.
