There's something about a woman who can cook/bake...
something about a man who can build a house.

Not really baked, but tasty: Key Lime Pie

No offense, but key lime pie should never be green!

I'm a stove top and BBQ guy, but I do bake whisky cakes for Christmas.

Being out of work has afforded me a lot of time to bake some great stuff. Fortunately, it also gives me plenty of time to work out and get rid of said great stuff.

Last week, I did a coconut cream pie, to which my gf said she wanted a coconut chess pie. Never heard of such a thing, being from the north. Not much to look at.



A few weeks ago, we decided to tackle real croissants. Quite a bit of effort to keep laminating the dough over and over again but the results were stunning. Best ones I've had outside Paris. And I loved watching the gf cringe when I kept calling them crescent roles.

[tweezers74]

Oh gosh, now I need to go to Paris and get some croissants. Those look delicious!!

[72doug2,2S]

Not to PARF your croissant, but...

The history of the croissant is a much disputed mystery. Scholars offer several different versions of how the croissant came into existence.



The earliest story dates to 1683, during the Ottoman Turks siege of Vienna. Legend has it that a baker working late at night heard the Turks tunneling under the walls of the city and alerted the military.



The military collapsed the tunnel in on the Turks and eliminated the threat, saving the city. The baker baked a crescent shaped pastry in the shape of the Turk’s Islamic emblem, the crescent moon, so that when his fellow Austrians bit into the croissant, they would be symbolically devouring the Turks.

This exact same legend is told years later, but instead of being set in Vienna, it is set in Budapest, Hungary. All the details are the same except for the nationality of the baker and his city.

Seriously? That is fantastic. I've never seen a layered cake with squares like that.
