BAKING TODAY PART II

[Beatle]

damn, ur the one who made the meatballs as well , right ? my second favorite cake - matter of fact had my mom make this for me on my birthday when I was little. Can only be beat by ….wait for it ....wait....cheesecake !

Looks tasty

[van Olzon]

well … beats ... cheesecake is my favourite too and always on the first place ... 
actually ... I didn't really liked rhubarb in the past since I tried the one from my mother in law ... and now hooked on this too ... and it's yummee

[Chris]

Wow, seeing that reminds me of my childhood.  Mom used to make rhubarb pie and I always thought it was weird that something that looks like red celery could taste so good.  May have to try and make some myself.

But you and Beatle are right- cheesecake is the absolute best.

[Beatle]

we need to do a Iron Heart cook down…

everybody brings their favorite food/ recipe and we slave in the kittchen for a whole weekend.

hmm, what kittchen to pick....

[madmonday]

[madmonday]

sure other food was involved but let's jump to cake prep.

sifting the floor

beating sugar & butter

seems some of the sugar needed to get put back in it's place

skip the oven that's long & boring. . . we want cake

simple sugar with a little kick

yum *i've given up the sauce for lent heheheehehe

damn, all this for a freaking cake
& it's still not done.  icing & all that got done & now it has to be dressed up. hopefully tuesday will finish it up on tuesday 

big tease

[stever]

@monday:

[chickenn]

oh hellyeah!! i just did up a quick batch of alfoil chicken breasts to last me a few post-gym dinners. as a semi-related aside, chillies go a helluva lot further when they are in a sealed container as opposed to getting fried and all of their heat flying off into the atmosphere.  open up the alfoil boat and my eyes are already watering

[elclintor]

Ahh the simple things….
