I have a TWD double header going on this week. I really did make last week’s Dulce de Leche Duos and was all prepared to post about them on Tuesday but instead I had the pleasure of dealing with a broken refrigerator (which didn’t get fixed until the next morning anyway). After that I just never seemed to find a chance to post about the cookies until it just seemed to make more sense to combine two weeks worth of TWD into one.
And so, here we are…TWD two for one!
Here we are, Tuesday again and I’ve somehow managed to scrape together the time to make this week’s TWD challenge (that was in doubt for a time this weekend) - Soft Chocolate and Raspberry Tart on page 354 chosen by Rachelle of “Mommy? I’m Hungry!“. As I’m sure you are all well aware by now, as far as I’m concerned fruit and chocolate must be strictly segregated from one another. But at its heart this recipe was pure decadent chocolate so I felt compelled to make it.
This week Mike of Ugly Food Dude selected Thumbprints For Us Big Guys on page 164. I can’t say that thumbprint cookies have ever been a favorite of mine, but I was looking forward to giving these ones a shot. Primarily because cookies are nicely portable and easy to share with my co-workers whom I have been horribly neglecting on the baking front recently.
It seems like every week Tuesday arrives more quickly – here it is again and most of the past week is a hazy sleep deprived blur. But despite my sleep deprived state I found the time and energy to make Beryl’s (of Cinemon Girl) pick: Toasted-Coconut Custard Tart on pages 344 and 345.
I have very fond memories of eating my grandmother’s coconut cream pie as a child so I was looking forward to giving this recipe a try.
