This is Madam Chow, on hiatus in Las Vegas. No, not a pleasure trip. Well, except for the buffets, but more on that when I get back home. What I did manage to do before I left was to bake the TWD challenge: This week, Ulrike of Küchenlatein chose Grandma’s All-Occasion Sugar Cookies on pages […]

Currently, I am out of town. Hopefully, when I get back I’ll have some pics and write-ups of a couple culinary adventures. In the meantime, I leave you with a photo of the Dynamic Hairy Duo, Daisy (left) and Gus (right). Now, it’s True Confessions time. I had to crop the pictures to eliminate a […]

This month, Anne Strawberry and Holly the PheMomenon chose “Holiday Songs” as the theme for “You Want Pies with That?” After a lot of head scratching over this one, I decided on a “The Christmas Song,” because “chestnuts roasting on an open fire” kept dancing through my head.

This week, for Tuesdays with Dorie, Dennis of Living the Life chose Linzer Sables on pages 134-135 of Baking: From My Home to Yours. I decided to make heart-shaped cookies along with some sandwich cookies. I’m glad that I followed the advice of other bakers on the TWD blog, and rolled the dough for the sandwich cookies a […]

Yup. And I’m making these today for Thanksgiving – a light, healthful dish that may convert some Brussels sprout haters. I got the idea for these after seeing a recipe where they had you take off every leaf of each sprout. Nice, but that’s not going to happen around here. I save that kind of […]

Like a lot of other TWD bakers, I’ll be posting a bit later this week because it’s Thanksgiving. I just spent 2.5 hours dealing with an internet security vendor, trying to get them to credit me for a double charge on my credit card, and I am in one heck of a foul mood. I […]

Make a big, huge, indulgent cake, that’s what! I had a bunch of snack-sized assorted chocolate bars left over, and I wanted to use them up and get them out of the house in one fell swoop, so I turned to Marcy Goldman’s A Passion for Baking. My mission: To use up a bunch of […]

TWD – A (Failed) Experiment with Arborio Rice Pudding
Posted by Madam Chow Published in pudding, Tuesdays with DorieThis week, Isabelle of Les Gourmandises d’Isa picked Arborio Rice Pudding. We could make chocolate, or vanilla, or both, and I chose vanilla because chocolate rice pudding is . . . just not right. It threatens the order of the culinary universe. Lesson learned: recipe does not work with almond milk, which I decided to […]
