Thanks for the tips, so I add more flour to the pie crust dough-thing?

Those cakes look delicious :D

 

Nah, when you're mixing the apple pieces together with the sugar and spices, add some flour to the mixture... It's not as easy to notice with apples, but for more juicy pies (such as strawberry-rhubarb) i usually look at how much juice is in the bottom of the bowl and add small amount of flour until a light paste is formed (don't worry, as you bake more juices come out). That said, you won't need a whole cup of flour, only a few tablespoons at the max, depending on the pie.

Had chicken with tomato & rice, simple, but really nice if you add a bit of cheddar cheese.

Ohhhh i can't stand that for some strange reason

I finally made a grilled cheese using mozzarella. I haven't had one of those in almost a year. It was delicious.

I made apple pie for the first time in my life last night and I tried homemade apple pie for the first time in my life last night. :D

It's nice, but all the apple juices started leaking everywhere in the oven for some reason. :(

 

Umm, to prevent the overflow, add either add some more flour or tapioca (it's rather amazing in pies actually!) to help absorb the excess liquid and if you're finding it too runny still, try to stay away from open topwork (lattice for example) and stick with a closed top crust until you figure out the necessary proportions so no leaking occurs. Also, always have a drip pan under anything you have in the oven... makes clean up so much easier!

[hide=can't remember if i posted this or not: honey-lemon pound cake with lemon icing][/hide]

 

OMG those cakes are so cute >.< Especially the honey-lemon cake.

 

 

 

As for me, I'm eating right now, New York Super Fudge Chunk Ice cream by Ben & Jerry's. They are the best EVAR!

Just had some nachos with salsa. Mmmmmm.

I had Trix cereal tonight. I feel like a kid :^_^:

Theres always good times to be had with the Arby's 5 for 5 deal. 2 For dinner, 1 for snack, and 2 more for lunch :thumbsup:

I had a gyro and baklava today from a Lebanese place my friends know of. Very, very good.

that stuffs the bomb....never had one in awhile.

I can't eat Nachos unless I have a jalapeños! Well mostly all Mexican food needs spice for me, but yet again I eat almost everything with chili, wonder if it's because I'm Mexican.... *Stares off into space*

Real Mexican food is where it's at. Not all this enchilada, fajita, Taco Bell [cabbage]. You won't find that anywhere south of the border - or, really, at any recent immigrant's house.

 

I tire of Mexican easily, though. I get a lot of it, and it's generally authentic and delicious. I just prefer stuff I haven't grown up with.

You know while reading that Lenticular, I was eating a Torta with jalapeños in it because I got hungry for it. :/

Damn it that sounds good now. But the best I have is boring white people "mexican".

At least you live in Texas, imagine how hard it is to get good mexican food up in New England.

 

 

Anyways, baked some cookies today. And of course when I say I baked cookies I really mean I screw up the cookie making process while my mom and sister did the majority of the baking. I'll make up for it by doing the majority of the consuming though.

Just had some homemade chili. My family really knows how to cook that stuff. :thumbsup:

The salsa itself was quite spicy.

 

Fun Fact: Did you know the original "nachos" were served only with cheese and jalapeños ?

 

I just had a cucumber, tomato and onion sandwich with mint chutney and butter and salt and pepper.

Just had my awesome KFC mixture, but no mac and cheese this time. Chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, and coleslaw all mixed together in a bowl.

But my version is way better.

 

Edit: Awesome, right now I'm eating 3 tamales and a BBQ chicken sandwich. Freakin amazing.

Holiday meal-plan: Tonight: Scallop-onion soup, garlic mashed potatoes, and Fudge cake. Tomorrow: Mushroom-pancetta lasagna, Chicken and pureed-carrot soup, rolls, and Caramel-Pear Ice cream...

 

I promise pictures later...

I hate it when there's nothing much to eat in the kitchen and you spend 30 minutes standing around, going from cupboard to cupboard trying to decide which lesser evil you will eat.

 

Right now, for me, it's a choice between 8 day old pasta or instant soup... [bleep].

That happens to me all the time D: My parents have absolutely NO food in the house. Sometimes we are even without bread so it's not even as if I can resort to a PB&J sandwich or something. I just sit there and find like milk, spices, some nasty cereal and lettuce o_O

I chose the soup. Drinking it now ... I would have made a sandwich, but there was no jam. :cry:
