Crumb

I decided to make banana muffins for the same reason as most, because I had extra bananas that now had brown spots on them. (I actually like eating bananas slightly under-ripe when eating them raw.) My first thoughts were banana blueberry muffins. Doesn't that sound good? Yes, but there had been a forecast of thunderstorms coming and I was afraid to go out. I am very afraid of rain, as if the wick

. El cómic sin Crumb sería tan acartonado como el sexo sin Crumb. En el arte de este prolífico autor confluyen los sueños más bizarros, y el dibujo más mordaz que podamos imaginar. Nos golpea con su línea gruesa, y nos conduce en un sorprendente tour por el país de la perversión.

Crumb cake is in a class by itself when it comes to coffee cake. The buttery, slightly crunchy, melt-in-your-mouth crumbs that top the cake make it not only delicious, but actually drive people to seek it out in bakeries, cafes and restaurants. If you’re used to a streusel-topped cake, which lacks the signature large clumps of topping found on a crumb cake, the prospect of making one at home can

Is it necessary for a coffee cake to have some kind of streusel or crumb topping to be called coffee cake? I tend to think not, but with the exception of coffee cakes that are baked in bundt pans (and often have a layer of streusel running through them), it generally seems to be true. Untopped cakes can easily fall out of the coffee cake category and into some other class of cake. But regardless o

She was late bringing out our food to the bird-table again thismorning. But what can you do, it's very hard to get good staffthese days. We we're all waiting patiently up in the trees, well, therewas a bit of jostling and elbowing with the sparrows but we wereall hungry and grumpy.

How can a girl who grew up in household that not once had anything baked or cooked that was remotely 'lemon' love lemon so much!? It's true... as a child I don't remember my mother ever once making or buying anything lemon. I guess she must not have liked lemon and therefore didn't bother with it.Ironically (?) I found out as an adult that my Dad loved lemon meringue pie and I know that my mothe

"Money is the root of all evil, and yet it is such a useful root that we cannot get on without it any more than we can without potatoes."Louisa May Alcott OVEN-BAKED FRIES...SPUDS-WE-LIKE!!While visiting London in the late 80's & early 90's, we would often stop by at a quaint little potato joint called Spuds-U-Like. Spud is a slang for potato. On a cold winter evening, nothing seemed better than a hot potato, baked to perfection (or so it appeared to our hungry selves), with topping choices galore & creamy to the hilt. We (me & my bunch of friends) would stare at the potato in awe...never had we seen such a HUGE spud & we were spoilt by the choice of toppings. The eating joint has been long gone, but the spudtasty feeling remains! Such was the magic of the humble potato...&

"When life hands you a lemon, say, "Oh yeah, I like lemons. What else ya got?"Henry Rollins GLAZED LEMON BUTTERMILK POUND CAKEThis cake is SO good & is one of our favourites. It's a simple, no fail cake, with a light & delicate crumb. It brings back memories of old-fashioned tea cakes, home-made just like we loved them, & with the fresh tangy taste of lime! Both my SIL, & another close friend, swear that this is the perfect tea cake. I had misplaced this recipe a while ago, & my friend from Kiev has been kind enough to send it back...as she said "Your recipe back to you"!The lemony flavours are enhanced further when you drizzle the hot cake with a lime/lemon sugar glaze icing...PERFECTO!! It's delicious on its own, & also makes for a pretty dessert with whipped cre

En respuesta a este artículo que hice sobre el libro de Crumb, Recuerdos y Opiniones, esto es lo que me contestó Dylan Horrocks. LLegó demasiado tarde, así que lo pongo aquí:"Crumb has been a huge influence on me since I started reading his comics as a kid. He's still one of the few cartoonists I go back to regularly to restore my faith in the power of comics and even of drawing itself. I can lose myself in the lush, harsh texture of his pen for hours. Most of all, his work is the real thing: honest, painful, beautiful and ugly. "

I first baked this coffee cake around Christmas time and it has since become one of my favorite breakfast. Yes, that’s right, breakfast. I’m a coffee and …toast, coffee cake or muffin girl. (I know, I should really eat a real breakfast. Maybe one day.) The cake is unbelievably moist and slightly dense. For me, that’s the perfect coffee cake combination. The cake also keeps for a long time. I usually make it on Sunday evening and have it for breakfast Monday through Friday, unless I have visitors. The jam swirls can be changed to any flavor you like. This time around I used an organic blackberry jam. (Mmm …good.) I have even made the cake sans the jam and it was just as good. If you make it without the jam, I suggest adding a little more sugar or a nice dusting of powdered sugar

Please do not let my lack of photography skills keep you from trying these cookies (bars). They are simply the greatest bar-cookies I have ever had. I am completely amazed. No matter what I type, I will not be able to do these cookies justice. They recipe can easily be changed to whatever filling your heart desires. Oh, and the recipe makes a ton of cookies. I only made half but I will be making a full batch for the holidays with apricot or peach jam. If I were not a college student, I would easily slap a “money back guarantee” on these cookies.So there you go, a must make, must try, hypothetical money back guarantee cookie recipe.

We have no idea why, but this 70’s themed USB desktop mini vacuum cleaner certainly brought a smile to our faces this morning as, whilst we find the whole idea of mini USB vacuum cleaners a little tacky – nothing beats the use of a Dyson’s hose with multiple attachments - we love the detail offered in this fully functional device. Great for clearing those crumbs from between your keyboard’s keys or just as a novel desktop ornament, or even just as a gift for anyone with sideburns (though a razor might be a better idea), there’s no denying that this mini USB vacuum cleaner is rather more funky than all these Bug styled USB vacuums and, whilst we suspect that the suction is hardly anything to write home about, we cannot help but love it for what it is. The 70s Style Retro USB Desktop Vacuum Cleaner retails for $34.

Each week, I will test out two tips from the The Complete Tightwad Gazette, and on the following Wednesday I’ll review how they went and evaluate if it is worth my time/effort/money to continue with it. I think both the challenges I tried this week exemplify what being a tightwad is about. One uses items around the house to replace a seldom used gadget and the other makes use of food that typically gets tossed to make something truly yummy. Resourcefulness at it’s best! Cheapskate Postal Scale This trick is supposed to help you figure out postage by determining whether or not a letter is under 1 oz (only needing one stamp). Page 115 of the Gazette states: You need a 12″ ruler, a pencil, and five quarters. Put the ruler on the pencil so that it is centered over the 6″ mark, or in the center. Place the quarters (which weigh 1 oz) on the 3″ mark. Center your sealed envelope on the 9″ mark (the 3″ and the 9″ marks are the same distance fr

I made these yummy muffins for breakfast this morning.This is the second time I have made them and I really should make them more often.They are bakery quality in my opinion.The crumb topping makes these really stand out.I used frozen bluberries because that is all I had.And I had to use soy milk because I was out of cow's milk.But theytasted great all the same.I filled them a little over 2/3 full so I would get a puffier muffin.Great for lunches too.This recipe came from a bed and breakfast owner in Summerville South Carolina.Blueberry Crumb Top Muffins1 cup milk 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 egg 2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 cup sugar 3 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup fresh blueberriesCRUMB TOPPING 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar 2 tablespoons butter Heat oven to 400 degrees.Grease bottoms only of 12 medium muffin cups or paper lined cups.

While surfing the internet one night I found these. Now, I love my coffee in the mornings, but I can just imagine how amazing these might taste with it. Don't you think? I don't have pitted dates in my cupboard right now or I would make these. Instead, I'm adding it to my collection here so I can make these when I pick up some dates. I can almost taste them right now... Yum! Tastes Like

I've been craving it all week and just had to make it... and as I sat here and munched on it I decided I had to post it again just in case any of my readers missed it the first time around. It's similar to a very popular grocery store brand that starts with an "E" in their name. I make it as a pound cake

If you like apple or peach and/or crumb pies as many of us do, you will most likely enjoy this one.

Lemon and blueberries seem to go together very well for either breakfast, lunch, or dinner desserts. We tried this recipe and were pleased; hopefully you will be too. This recipe in the original version was posted in King Arthur's Baking Circle by Mrs. K The original recipe can still be found in the Baker's circle posted under knead2quilt's (or K2Q) recipes. The original recipe is one of the most popular on the site, and justifiable so. MrsK was a long time contributor and her recipes are all wonderful.

The Amish are an incredibly simple, yet complex people. The family unit is forever binding with them. Those of you who are reading this blog and have had them as neighbors or have dealt with them on a personal level for any amount of time, know what I mean. They are generous, very introverted, yet will share whatever they have with a friend - either Amish or English (non Amish) The following recipe was given to me by one of the Amish families here in MO. Pie is always an appropriate dessert with just about any meal. Served with a few scoops of your favorite ice cream or sherbert, you can't go wrong. We had this pie a year ago at an Amish wedding reception I attended. It was a small reception; only 350 people - all but three were Amish. They sure know how to cook and bake. Their recipes are simple, yet lavish in taste. Filling Ingredients 4 cups peaches, peeled and sliced1/2 cup granulated sugar1/4 teaspoon salt2 1/2 tablespoons tapioca powder 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie shell Preh
