This week we can thank Becky of Project Domestication for choosing Burnt Sugar Ice Cream on page 432 of Dorie’s book. And we definitely do thank her; someone turned up the heat in my neighborhood so ice cream was definitely a welcome treat (not that I really need an excuse to eat ice cream). As is usual for me lately, I’m posting later than I would like, so I’ll just dive right in.
Here it is, 11:00pm on Tuesday night and I’m just now getting to post my TWD experience for this week – Chockablock Cookies (page 86) chosen by Mary of Popsicles and Sandy Feet. I was quite pleased to see a cookie recipe for this week – easy to whip up, very portable and excellent for sharing.
Since I need to get this post completed and published before Tuesday runs into Wednesday, let’s get right to it…
It seems I’ve been somewhat lax in my TWD participation recently; I hope to remedy that starting now. This week Melissa of Love At First Bite chose Sweet Cream Biscuits on page 23. I really wasn’t sure if I wanted to do these or not, they aren’t exactly the type of thing you bring to work to share around and we certainly didn’t need to keep them all in the house after the recent holiday excess.
But then, I had an idea…
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.
I’m sad to say the TWD chocolate streak has come to an end; it appears that there is no chocolate in sight until the middle of March (unless I make a few tweaks, which I just might!).
This week’s TWD assignment was selected by Michelle of Flourchild. She decided on the Honey-Wheat Cookies from page 81 of Dorie’s book. When I first read this recipe I thought I might omit the lemon zest and add some grated chocolate to the dough instead, but after reading the P&Q I decided to give this recipe a shot as it was written. I have since come to regret that decision…
