Welcome to the latest installment of TWD! I’m doing my very best to keep on track with my TWD commitment despite the continuing holiday insanity. This week Ulrike of Küchenlatein‘s selection is Grandma’s All Occassion Sugar Cookies. At first glance I wasn’t too terribly excited about this recipe; just your basic sugar cookie. But, the more I thought about it, the more excited I got. The very simplicity of this recipe lends itself to so many variations. Grandma’s All Occasion Sugar Cookie is the ultimate blank canvas of the cookie world!
I’m getting this posted a bit later than I intended today, but it is still Tuesday (if only for a little while longer). TWD is one of the things that inspired me to begin my own blog, so I am very excited to be making my first TWD post. This week’s recipe is crème brulée (selected by Mari of Mevrouw Cupcake).
Now, I have to admit that I have always been more in love with the concept of crème brulée than with the dessert itself. I’ve tried ordering it in various restaurants but I’ve always finished the sweet with a vague feeling of disappointment. It never quite lived up to my expectations. I can’t quite clearly define what those expectations are, but I can say with absolute certainty that they’ve never been met.
So, I entered into this with somewhat mixed feelings. Would I be disappointed yet again…this time in my own kitchen?
