Curious to know if peduncles are peels?

Shaker pie is a pie where whole lemons are sliced thinly and used as the filling for a pie. Here is the Smitten Kitchen variation.

And we could confit them in duck fat too!

Food 52 by way of River Cafe - for the thermomix River Cafe's Strawberry Sorbet Ice Creams and Sorbets, Thermomix Difficulty: Easy Source: food 52 INGREDIENTS 2-3 lemons 1 seeded and roughly chopped and the others juiced 2 cups sugar 2 pounds strawberries hulled DIRECTIONS Freeze berries. Place the chopped lemon and sugar in TMX, and pulse until combined. Add frozen berries and process until done.

Here you go - small red beans not kidney beans - wait skip that - those are adzuki beans. Ok - let's try again - this is a brand I've been happy with before - here.

Shaker Lemon pie.

Yeah - tried it from the link itself - also didn't work - will hopefully get a functional link tomorrow. OK - try this link - https://www.hilton.com/en/book/reservation/deeplink/?ctyhocn=BUFDTHX&groupCode=CHHTCT&arrivaldate=2023-05-18&departuredate=2023-05-21&cid=OM,WW,HILTONLINK,EN,DirectLink&fromId=HILTONLINKDIRECT But you need to do it in Chrome or something other than Safari.

Ok - two options to book the hotel - the hotel is 'Hampton Inn & Suites Buffalo-Downtown' - phone hotel directly (716) 855 2223 - we are apparently the "Tomric Systems Chocolate Tasting" - or you can book online once I get a valid link! There is an additional charge for parking. Cut off is April 18th for bookings.

So I wandered into the food bank kitchen this morning when we showed up to vaccinate to be greeted by this sight - Someone had put a mixture of dried beans into a pot with some water yesterday afternoon and left them to soak overnight. Apparently physics was not a strong suit. We labelled it garbanzo explosion! See the little tab under the gas switches - that's essentially a little drawer that pulls out! Wish I had that on my gas stove for just such an occasion.

Too sweet - too chocolaty - hubby liked them just fine - but they aren't Paul Young brownies

Sadly no - we aren't able to do that.

It had the splash guards on when it happened. Doesn't happen with the little bowl.

Made some brownies tonight - recipe on David Lebovitz's blog for Phil's Brownies (Phil Rosenthal - Somebody Feed Phil). Not sure I'm a big fan - but it's really unfair to taste them before they have properly firmed up so we shall see tomorrow.

I think it should work - think pure nut paste texture.

There is a company Maison Boudina - apparently closed in January - they make hazelnut pastes with some interesting additions such as osmanthis, truffle etc.

Sebastien's tip - so likely Sebastien Serveau who provides a lot of recipes for this magazine. But hasn't helped with the search so far.

Looks like it needs butter!

Look at these beauties - showed up from Great Britain yesterday! A favourite friend sent them for @Anna N and I. Hubbies eyes lit up when he saw them.

Can probably volunteer @Alleguede for some bars.

Good idea! I was thinking I wanted to show a few decorating techniques - I'm thinking I can learn and teach the moon one. And the fractal one and the galaxy one. I spoke with Fuji and Jim no longer works for them. So the great deal we had before with them is no longer available. They can do a 25% discount - so perhaps I'll get a coupon from them for that and we can offer it as a 'door prize'. Does mean however we won't have a Fuji to play with at the workshop though. Perhaps if someone who is driving can bring their Grex or Fuji? I'll check with Brian and see what airbrush they have available.

So unfortunately Paul has now discovered a competing engagement - going to have to give some more thought to this - perhaps we should run our own masters classes.

I bought a lot of oils from Xenex labs in BC - they were labelled as food or pharmacutical grade - then all of a sudden one year they weren't. I'm comfortable using steam distilled essential oils - but not solvent extracted oils - although I'm sure if the solvent was ethyl alcohol then I would be fine with it. I've purchased rose otto and a huge number of other interesting essential oils from these guys in the past - they used to send little samples of oils along with every order which guaranteed them repeat business.

And see what they are expecting to see - I did a psychology of learning course with Dr Lee Brooks of McMaster University in my undergrad - words left out of sentences, letters left out of words - we see them even when they aren't there. I found the whole thing fascinating.
