Tuesdays without Dory and what’s up.

I’m glad that TwD is optional this summer, because I am 1. exhausted and 2.not making icecream without an icecream maker. The girls are at day camp this week and last and they have been having a good time. I think they have seen more of Berlin than I have! Although I will be off [...]

Tuesday’s with Dorie: Not this summer. And what’s up.

I’m taking the opportunity offered to take the summer off. I just can’t seem to get ahead of myself with the German out of town what is working out to be 5 days out of 7. Particularly with all retail shops closed on Sunday, this makes doing things a bit crazy. This past weekend we [...]

Tuesday’s with Dorie: Parisian Apple Tartlet

What I made is actually Berlin Rhubarb Tartlet, as I cook along with Tuesdays with Dorie. Jessica of My Baking Heart chose the recipe this week, and it is posted on her blog. I was very grateful to see a recipe without chocolate and a recipe that I could make from ingredients in the house [...]

Tuesday’s with Dorie: Cinnamon Squares

Well, it has been a while! Even though I just got back from the States yesterday, I thought that now I am well again (or at least well enough), I needed to start posting my Tuesdays with Dorie again.

Tuesday’s with Dorie: Not today.

I’m tremendously better than I have been for the last 37 days. Except for a lingering cough and a need for the inhaler, I feel safely past the point where I worry about waking up in the morning because I wouldn’t be able to breathe through the night, but I’m not up to any real [...]

Tuesdays… but not with Dorie

Even though today’s recipe, Tiramisu Cake, from Megan at My Baking Adventures looks nice, I am still weltering in my illness and I am not doing either baking or cooking. So far I am in my third week of significant illness: this actually feels far worse than when I had pneumonia twenty years ago. I [...]

Tuesday’s with Dorie: Banana Cream Pie

I was certain that I would not make Tuesdays with Dorie this week. It’s the week before Passover, life is crazy, and I have already removed all the chometz from the house. So there’s now way that I could make a pie crust (no flour), nor did I want to make it a few days [...]

Tuesday’s with Dorie: French Yogurt Cake with Marmalade Glaze

You might be wondering, how can G be cooking for TwD when she is gallivanting around the US East Coast rather than at home in her kitchen? Well, it’s because I actually made today’s French Yogurt Cake with Marmalade Glaze on February 25th, for a book club at my house which I really need to [...]

Tuesday’s with Dorie: Lemon

Bridget from The Way the Cookie Crumbles chose Lemon Cup Custard for this week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe. It received an awful cot of negative comments on the P&QSo many, in fact, that I was motivated to make it even though I was overwhelmed with Purim and packing to go to the US for two [...]

Tuesday’s with Dorie: Devil’s Food White Out Cake

I have been starting to wonder whether I am cut out for Tuesdays with Dorie. I have had a few failures and a few items I really didn’t want to make and I am starting to think that there will never be a recipe that doesn’t have chocolate in it (which is bad, as I [...]
