Eaten mussels tonight, new harvest, they're back after a few months of waiting. We kept it simple, the question was whether we could get them and after searching for a while we came across a package of 2 kilos. Dutch mussels, French garlic sauce, Italian white wine and instead of baguettes we increasingly do Turkish pide bread. Simple but delicious!

Taste better than it looks, Dutch Apple Pie. Made a cherry pie because the cherries needed to be used and I had some more dough left in the fridge that also needed to be used. Turns out I am terrible at weaving dough. I may make some more pie dough and try again... but then I have to go to the store for some fruit, blueberries? Bananas? Lemon? One thing leads to another...Hmm.

I don't bake, but MLW does. Her Cinna-noms (Cinna-bon take-off) before baking and the cream cheese frosting.

That food looks really good.

Interesting. Never even thought of using them in such a way. Perogies weren't something I grew up eating. First experienced them while on a fishing trip to Canada about 15 years ago. Sauteed in butter with a pile of onions. Delicious. The few times I've been lucky enough to find some frozen ones, I did the same. Not complaining but, this gives me some new ideas. Thanks.

Made Brownies, also made Angel Food Cake to offset the brownies. That's how it works right?...

Nope. Everyone knows that salty potato chips offset brownies.

How do you keep your leftover dough? From scratch? I make my own. The dough you get at the store has a funny taste to me and I must be allergic to the preservative because I feel a little ill after eating. My Uncle made the best blackberry scratch pies. When he was very ill, he switched to store bought dough and I didn't have the heart to tell him I couldn't eat. A month before he died he made me a pie. My Aunt said he was weak, but determined to make a pie for me. I had been making them meals and dropping off and he wanted to return the favor.

I make make own dough from scratch. Once I learned how to make dough I never went back to store bought. I prefer homemade. If there is any left over I keep it in the fridge but will use it within a day or so. If I do not use it in that time frame I throw it away and make more. I think I may make a white cake right now. I am in a frosting mood. I shot a lot of pictures yesterday but can not find my graduated cylinders. I ordered them and will be making a cake until they get here tomorrow.

A home made 'restaurant style' (special method used to get the restaurant/take away taste) Chicken Rogan and plain, coriander and coriander and chili Naan Breads ( slightly over done on a couple). I love Indian food and really enjoy cooking it too.
