Massive blueberries (from Peru), which were tasteless, became whole wheat/oatmeal muffins. Used coconut sugar, which made them nicely brown colored.

Caramel Slice from an Australian formula!  Not a bad flavor, but if I make them again, I will develop the caramel flavor more, and bypass their instructions.  But, I figure, the first time I should follow what the formula says, then after, I can tweak…

I have never cut anything that neatly in my life! Especially things topped with chocolate like the Nanaimo bars that I must make every Christmas...

My first attempt at a Far Breton.  Came out rather pale.  I will conveniently blame my Mexican oven 👩‍🍳

 

Tasty though!  I used orange liqueur to steep the prunes.

Your interesting plate  far outshines the pastry. Sure it was tasty esp w/ the orange liquor steeped prunes

It's actually in a clear Pyrex pie pan.  It's my tiled counter that is showing thru the Pyrex.

Well then somewhere we need the full on view of your tiles - I am a huge fan of Mexican tiles. I worked in a building that used it extensively and visited some houses in my area where the builders sourced from there.

Leftover palchinta. Filled with ricotta and sour cream. Lightly warmed. Topped with home made preserved grapes, a bit of cinnamon, almonds.

I had once something similar in Slovenia, topped with a sort of milk foam, but since than I can't seem to find this dish online.

It was cottage cheese or cottage and cream. Maybe raisins maybe plain. No jam or nuts.

It seemed a common preparation, served in many restaurants in Slovenia.

Anyone do or plan Day of the Dead sweets like these?  https://sanmiguelfoodtours.com/mexican-sweets-for-the-day-of-the-dead/

Don't see many painted skulls, but the pan de muerte is everywhere.  Street vendors will be selling bunuelos de viento, by far my favorite Mexican treat.

Made this last night.  Haven't cut into it yet but the aroma while baking was amazing.  I'll be having a slice for breakfast in a few hours.

(Woke up at 4AM and couldn't go back to sleep.)

This is called a Hummingbird Slice.  It has coconut, pineapple and pecans.

What is the white layer? Looks like strong black coffee would be the best drink to accompany. Is it brown from spices?
