Jun. 12th, 2009 12:12 amUnless you all can find me a better one, this is the cake I'm making for the kid's one-year anniversary here tomorrow. (Shh! It's a secret.) http://mykitch3n.blogspot.com/2009/04/matcha-roll.html
Dinner tonight
Apr. 18th, 2009 07:18 pmChicken stew (cacciatore-esque: chicken thighs, olive oil, onions, garlic, celery, v-8 for tomatoeyness, salt, pepper)
Quinoa
Steamed broccoli
This cake, but without the whisky (hush up,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kightp, we don't keep whisky in the house, and I don't like the stuff anyway, but if I make this for you, I'll leave it in. :-)
Now all I have to do is figure out the dining-table situation and we'll be having real dinners around here again. (We moved the dinner table to be my desk while I was radioactive, and never moved me back.)

The other day, I had three bananas that were about to be too ripe. Three bananas, in my childhood lexicon, means banana bread, so I wanted to make some.someotherguy, not surprisingly, was all for this plan. I remembered I had saved a recipe to my memories section that sounded good. It turned out to be this outstanding recipe from snippy. The cake part of this is so buttery and delicious, but still really lets the banana flavor shine through.
Tonight,jwermont was coming to dinner, and I wanted to make dessert. I didn't have bananas, but I did have a bag of frozen berries in the freezer (blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries, I think -- whatever the mixed-berry bag at Costco contains). So I mixed some berries with a little sugar and let them mostly thaw while I made the batter (minus the bananas, and with the addition of a little milk -- maybe a third of a cup -- to thin the batter a little). The batter was still pretty thick. I put the berries in the bottom of a tart pan, spread the batter over them like thick frosting, and baked at 350F until the top was brown and some of the berries were bubbling around the edges.
Oh. My. God. It's so good.
jwermont and I nearly demolished the whole thing, but I've saved a slice for someotherguy to have tomorrow, if I don't cave and eat it first.

Nov. 24th, 2006 10:32 pmThe vegan chocolate cake I made tonight is way yummy. Very cheap, very easy to make, VERY moist. I mostly don't like cake, unless it's practically moist enough to be a steamed pudding. This one's like that, and a few bites were plenty. The gang likes it, too.
( Here's the recipe, gakked from Goomba38 on rec.food.cooking. I skipped the powdered sugar. )
