Dessert

Alright, so, today I decided to take on this little project called “barista inspired dessert crossword.” I mean, sounds fun, right? Mixing coffee, dessert, and a bit of a brain teaser. Let’s dive into how this whole thing went down. Getting Started First things first, I needed to figure out what this “barista inspired dessert crossword” even was. I spent some time reading up on crosswords, you know, just to get a feel for it. Turns out, clues can be pretty tricky! They’re not just straight-up definitions. Nope, they can…

So, I’ve been messing around with some bariatric-friendly desserts lately, and let me tell you, it’s been a bit of a rollercoaster. You know, trying to find that sweet spot between satisfying my sweet tooth and not going overboard after the surgery. It’s tough, man. First, I tried to get all fancy and started whipping up some protein-packed chocolate mousse. Sounded good in theory, right? Well, the first batch, not so much. The texture was all wrong. It was like eating sweetened chalk. I ended up tossing that. It was…

Okay, so today, let’s talk about making some assorted desserts. I’ve been wanting to try my hand at a bunch of different sweet treats, and I finally took the plunge. First things first, I raided my kitchen. I checked what ingredients I already had, you know, the usual suspects like flour, sugar, eggs, and butter. I found some chocolate chips hiding in the back of the cupboard, and some frozen berries that I’d completely forgotten about. Then I hit up the internet, looking for some easy dessert recipes. I didn’t…

Hey everyone, it’s your buddy here, back with another one of my little kitchen adventures. Today, I tried making something called “Apple Blossoms Dessert.” I’d heard a bit about these online, figured, why not give them a shot? So, I rolled up my sleeves and got to it. First off, I needed to gather my ingredients. I grabbed some apples, the usual baking stuff like flour, sugar, butter, and some spices. You know, the basics. I found some nice apples, which are the ones I like. I always say, if…

Alright, so picture this: I decided to tackle this project called “Eight Years in the Desert.” Sounds intense, right? Well, it kinda was. The whole idea came to me when I was going through some old stuff, and I stumbled upon my dad’s middle name, Orin, and my mom’s maiden name, Swift. They were both such adventurous souls, always up for exploring new things. And that’s what sparked it – I wanted to create something that embodied that spirit of adventure. Now, why “Eight Years in the Desert,” you ask?…

Hey everyone, it’s your boy back again with another one of my little kitchen experiments. Today, we’re diving into the time machine and going back to the 1950s – dessert style! I got curious about what kind of sweet stuff people were whipping up back then, so I decided to give some of these vintage recipes a try. First off, I started looking into what was popular. Turns out, cookies like sugar, chocolate chip, and oatmeal with raisins were a big deal, as were puddings. Like, a ton of different…

So, I saw this thing online about using tomatoes in desserts. Tomatoes? In desserts? I know, right? Sounds weird, but I was curious. I mean, I love tomatoes in my salads and sauces, but desserts? That’s a whole new world. I decided to give it a go, you know, just to see what the fuss is all about. I went to the store and grabbed a bunch of fresh, ripe tomatoes. They looked so good, I almost ate them right there. I also picked up some sugar, flour, and other…

Okay, guys, let’s talk about something I made the other day – waffle dessert. I’ve been seeing these all over the internet and finally decided to give them a try. I mean, who doesn’t love a good waffle, right? So, I started by gathering all my ingredients. Flour, eggs, milk, the usual stuff. Oh, and some brown sugar, ’cause why not? I also grabbed some coconut milk solids and baking powder. I wanted these waffles to be extra special. First, I mixed all the dry ingredients in a big bowl….

Okay, so I went to this place, Urban Dessert Lab, in Los Angeles. Let me tell you, it was quite the experience. First off, I figured out where it was. It’s on Santa Monica Blvd in West Hollywood. Not too hard to find, really. Then I checked out their hours. They’re not open Mondays or Tuesdays, it seems. I went on a Thursday evening. They opened at 5:00 PM that day, so I made sure to get there a bit after that. What I Did Walked in and this lady,…

Okay, so, I wanted to mess around with something a bit different today, inspired by a famous painting I saw recently called “The Dessert: Harmony in Red” by Henri Matisse. This thing, it went through changes. Started green, then went blue, and finally, bam, it’s all red. I thought, “Hey, I can do something like that with a dessert!” So, I started with a basic vanilla cake, right? That was my “green” phase. I baked it up, let it cool, and got ready for the next step. Then came the…
