StephanieL Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Yuletide Bread, a Swedish recipe. I'd been hanging on to this recipe for weeks, nudging N to make it. Despite the name, it's not a yeast bread, but rather a cake/quick bread. It's not super-sweet, and goes really well with coffee/tea--nice for breakfast or an afternoon break.

Behemoth Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Halfway through the third of four Stollens, and the Christmas cookies are all gone. Some neighbors brought a thermos of Glühwein and we drank outside. This is how we do Christmas in 2020. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StephanieL Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 N made two desserts this past weekend. One was a simple combination of Baker's Ginger Nuts (the spiciest ginger cookie I've ever had) and Bird's Custard; the other was a bake/casserole with sweet potatoes, coconut milk, regular and golden raisins, and pecans. Now these were made separately and made to be eaten separately, but frankly they're pretty good together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bloviatrix Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 We have a family tradition of making poop emoji cookies for Purim (hamenstachen are coming). Boy helped with the decoration. Also known as our critique of the last 12 months. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bloviatrix Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Hamentaschen. Gingerbread with either apricot or prune. Chocolate with halvah cream and a sprinkle of Desert Rose spice blend from La Boîte. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Look, I know I didn't make them. And objectively, they are not a high-quality product. But let me just say how insanely I love Joyva ring jells (from nearby Bushwick: I must have passed by their factory about a million times). If anyone were to make a Genin-level version of this, I would be their BITCH. Forever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Behemoth Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 The heart wants what it wants. I like them too, my grandmother used to have them sometimes. Wierdly, or I guess not so weirdly, you can get something similar here around Christmas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StephanieL Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Yes, Joyva jelly rings are IT. I should have gotten a K for P version. Joyva halvah, OTOH, was always kind of dry to me, with the texture a bit like the inside of a Butterfinger. I never really liked halvah until I had the bulk version (ie, sold in blocks at Sahadi) for the first time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sneakeater Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 I don't know if it matters that they're not ring shaped. I'll let you know. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
