Laden in Red – Chris de Burgh sells fine wines
"The Lady in Red" singer Chris de Burgh has decided to cash in on surging prices for fine wines, offering 320 bottles and 84 magnums of mainly red varieties at Christie's in March which are expected to fetch in the region of 200,000 pounds ($320,000).
"Looking at the economics of the wine trade and how the business of selling wine fluctuates, I decided now was the right time," he said in a statement. Not surprising — Asian buyers, particularly from China, have piled into the wine market in the last two years sending prices soaring. Christie's sold wine worth $71.2 million in 2010, a whopping 70 percent increase over 2009, and fellow musician Andrew Lloyd Webber made a cool 3.5 million pounds from a much larger wine sale in Hong Kong last month.
De Burgh, his wife and daughter now prefer drinking white, so parting with some of the world's finest clarets may be easier to bear.
Among the highlights from de Burgh's temperature-controlled wine room at his home in Ireland is a 12 bottle case of Château Lafite-Rothschild, vintage 1945, estimated to fetch 12-16,000 pounds. (How much that works out per sip I'm not sure, but per glass it's around 220 pounds). The bottles are still in the original straw which protected them since the end of World War Two. "Considering the dramatic events that were unfolding across Europe and particularly in France at that time, it's extraordinary that one of the finest wines of the century was made then," de Burgh said.
The highest value lot is a vertical collection of 62 magnums of Château Mouton-Rothschild, vintages 1945-2005, expected to sell for 70-90,000 pounds.

Landscape dock port, smart bezel for iPad [patent watch]
Some Apple patents were made public this weekend giving possible hints at the the future of the iPad, include a landscape dock port and "smart-bezel".
The first one shows a second 30-pin dock connector on the left side for landscape docking. I'm sure this will make the keyboard dock and bluetooth keyboards even easier to use with some apps.
The second patent is for something called "Smart Bezel" which isnt really described well but by the pictures it looks like you touch a part of the bezel and and you can assign that part to a particular action.
Neither of these are bold re-designs, but are they features you want to see in a refresh? Oh, and let us know if you think that's a front-facing camera in the smart-bezel illustration after the break, or just the ambient light sensor...
[Patently Apple via 9to5mac]
This is an official entry by Freiteez in TiPb's next top blogger contest. Think you have what it takes to join Team TiPb? Bring it!
There are 12 comments. Add yours.
Is anyone planning on upgrading their iPads or are they happy with the current model?
I love my iPad but apple always makes my new toys feel old.
OMG Apple, get rid of them freaking 30 Pin connector. I'm getting tired of carrying around your proprietary connector to charge/connect my iPad/touch. Go micro USB and I'll be happy having one connector for my iDevices/Pre/Android. Arrrghhhhh >.< On topic though, nice seeing landscape dock, be like a mini computer screen :)
Sounds like the have other things in mind with a side connector. The keyboard is wireless. I also agree, there needs to be across the devices connectors. What good Is having say guitar jack, and now it want fit an iPhone 4 or iPod touch 4. You have to wait for the company to make a second version to connect. There are other products out there with the same problem. Back to the subject, if this iPad was a reality now, guess you would have to buy a new case/cover. Pretty soon there will be so many holes, and cutouts on a cover, the thing will never really fit right.
I definitely think that's a camera, considering the placement and size/shape. I'm a little cofised about the smart bezel though. Why in the world would it be necessary?
Possibly a "buttonless" volume control feature?
@David there is a camera.
I believe they might be implementing some sort of hot corner system for iPad, similar to hot corners for Apple computers. This might control multitasking features that show a preview of the running app instead of just a picture of the app.
That is not a smart button corner. That design drawing is clearly a blowup of a new construction technique... besides thats what a "bezel" is. This is a new design for the ipad body... and it's flat and has the same metal frame as the iPhone4.
I'm pretty sure this smart bezel idea is stupid. I don't want to be restricted on how I hold something. Wait......since I have an ip4......I should say I don't want to be restricted AGAIN.
I don't see where people are getting the "this is the same frame as the iPhone 4" from. The designs above look identical to the current iPad, no difference except for the side dock connector.
Oh, and that thing that "looks" like a camera, it's the light sensor that is currently on the iPad as well. Same exact placement. We've already gone thru this before.
As much as I like the ipad, I'm happy I am waiting for the second gen. I need at least 512 mbytes of ram, I want 1 gig. And I need the camera on the front, don't really care about the back but it's on the other two so why not the big cahoona.
I think that's just a sim card slot for 3G. Not a USB or hdmi...
PS: I have some other good APPS from aneesoft want to recommend. Maybe someone will like it.
This looks like a giant Kindle.

I scored a pile of natural crystals and Mom turned them into this gorgeous statement necklace. It's made of real rock crystals, so it's quite heavy, but totally worth the neck strain. Merci, Maman!

What are you baking these days? October 2012, part 1 [OLD]
We'be been busy little bees in the baking department these days, so here we go for a new thread in the new month. I have bread rising from the sponge I made last week, and made the pistachio cake again (I'm safe from it because it was served to a number of people at a party). Really prefer Rose's buttercream to the chocolate glaze I made at the behest of the birthday girls...
Just made 60 cupcakes for the bf's birthday, using Betty Crocker mix and a frosting made from veg crisco and wilton butter flavouring. Quite revolting. I shall stick to Italian meringue buttercream next time I want pure white.
On the menu soon are pumpkin swirl brownies, and probably a pumpkin pie and an apple pie - a good way to use up the crisco and to embrace my new North American habitat!
Very pretty cake buttertart.
Yesterday I made three batches of "infinitely adaptable blondies" - one with chocolate chips, one with white chocolate and macadamia nuts, and one with reduced coffee and cappucino chips. They all turned out delicious, except the coffee ones kind of burned, and I needed to remove a layer from the sides and bottom.
Tonight I need to make a peach crisp, with the last of the fall peaches, and lots of oats and nuts.
Tomorrow I will make more blondies or chocolate chip cookies, plus a giant plum tart, with the last of the plums and pluots.
(Due to Jewish holidays, early fall is my busiest baking season!)
re: milklady
Are those the ones from Smitten Kitchen (originally Mark Bittman?) That's my favourite quick square; since you melt the butter they are very quick with no planning involved. I have made them with white chocolate and dried cranberries, milk chocolate and dried cherries, and dark chocolate/cappuccino chips..
Lovely cake, buttertart!
Today, my aim was to use up a lot of apples, which are sort of mediocre, and which no one seems to be eating. I had seen a photo of an apple cake somewhere that had layers of apples, but I was unable to find it. Instead, I found this deep dish apple pie. I don't know if I was sort of out of it today, or what, but the thing seemed like a massive PITA, but really, it's not. Anyway, it is now in the oven, and I hope it turns out to have been a good use of all those apples. The recipe called for 11, but mine were small, I think I used closer to 13 of them.

Note to self and friends: don't mess with what works. Swapping out some of the AP flour for white whole wheat flour was a BAD IDEA. And, sadder still, I made a double batch (which usually turns out great as my blueberry almond cream cake) so I have PLENTY of my failure to go around.

It was just fine in the Raincoast Crisps (though may explain why, even when double-baked, they weren't quite as crispy as I wanted them to be). Believe me, I won't make that mistake again--I agree with you completely!
Have you swapped any of it into no-knead bread? My heart belongs to sourdough, but cats are curious.
ETA: In disgust, I threw the rest of the cranberry orange subpar baking in the trash last night. I love baked goods done right too much to waste calories otherwise.
re: roxlet
I made apple crisp in individual servings in my cute little mini Staubs. I used a honeycrisp apple and a gala. The galas were on sale and I had forgotten that I don't really like them. They're not crisp enough for me, and I think they have an odd sort of banana-y flavor.I'm perfectly willing to accept that I'm the crazy one tasting things that aren't there, but I'm still not crazy about them.

They were my favourite for years, but now I cant' stomach them. I tend to bake with Granny smith (and make cheese, chutney and apple sandwiches with them!) I love Russets but they can be hard to find here...
We should have a thread called "Apple varieties I have known and loved" ;)
Made some lemon tarts yesterday, to eat while watching a political debate on TV. Thought something both sweet and sour might be needed. I was right.
I used Ina Garten's lemon curd recipe, it worked fine, and boxed pie crust mix for the little cups.
It was my first time making curd from scratch, I like it!
I made the Milk Bar chocolate chip cookies with corn flake crunch and marshmallows on Saturday - they were better than I expected (I mean, I knew thaey would be good, but jeez, these were absolutely incredible).
I baked off a bunch of Edna Lewis' Egg Custards - I had a quart of raw milk and some delicious farm eggs on hand. Just a little vanilla and nutmeg in them - my husband called them 'nursery food' - I called them delicious!
I made a loaf cake from a bunch of empire apples I had on hand - cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves for some spice. It was pretty good - disappeared in a day or two. No real recipe there.

Here's that tapioca recipe. Turns out it's a chow recipe: http://www.chow.com/recipes/30357-tap...
I may have used a little tad less sugar.
I may try this recipe with some maple syrup (since we were talking about that) based on a recipe that uses instant tapioca. The recipe I'm looking at uses 1/4 cup maple syrup for 3 cups of milk and no extra sugar, so I don't think it can be too sweet. Actually, looking more closely at this maple syrup recipe, I see it came from a book called Grandma's Wartime Kitchen about cooking during WWII when things like sugar were rationed. Anyway, the combination sounds good.
The custards look good. Thanks for that.
re: jeanmarieok
Well! I baked two items today! Whaaaaat? I'm not a baker, it's not really something I've ever been good at or interested in. I mentioned in the previous thread that I'm recipe testing for a friend's sister. It's a low fat, vegan, non processed baking cookbook. Today I made some maple cookies and a zucchini cake.
The cookies - wayyyyy too sugary for me. I would make them again and cut the sugar big time. They were really nice and chewy! I have to say, I'm surprised they're vegan and without any oil, etc.
The cake - well, I cooked it 10 minutes beyond what the recipe called for and it's still very soft in the center. It needs more spice. Perhaps nutmeg, or even cardamom or something. It's begging for more complexity.
I hope she truly appreciates my honest thoughts. I can't share any recipes yet, I'm not allowed, but I will definitely share when her cookbook comes out if anyone is interested in it!
re: tiffeecanoe
re: karykat
I absolutely agree! I'm not much of a baker and I'm not sure how much it would change the texture, but I actually think I'd add more maple syrup - because truly, they weren't too maple-y - to the recipe and cut the white sugar in half. Perhaps I'll mention that to the recipe creator and see what she thinks.
re: tiffeecanoe
Oh my everyone! I baked three items in two days. I hadn't baked three items in the last year! Gotta say, this recipe testing project may very well make a baker out of me! I finally made that Cherry Oatmeal Quick bread.
It was REALLY good. However, I'd switch out the pricey dried cherries and use cranberries as I come from a pretty cranberry heavy area.
I have a double batch of croissant dough in the fridge. For breakfast, I sliced a bit off one end, rolled it out, and lined some muffin cups with it. Then I filled it with eggs beaten with salt and cream, shredded gruyere, and ham cubes. Topped off with a bit off parm and baked - YUM! Served them for bkfst with baby greens in a tart vinaigrette. Nice start to the weekend.
In a bit I'll be making Momos (morning buns to some) from the rest of the dough. I'd like to use a bit of dough to try a pastry that I had recently in a restaurant - snails filled with ham, gruyere, and apricot jam. I'm thinking of using some jalapeno jelly with chopped dried apricots in them rather than just the apricot jam.
I have a blind-baked pie crust in the freezer. I'm thinking of cooking down some apples with sugar and baking some streusel solo and combining the three to make a prefab apple pie - I'm a fan of crisp textures and I'm hoping the crust will stay very crisp!
re: sandylc
re: sandylc
re: AGM_Cape_Cod
I'm not very much of a fish-eater (wait for collective gasp), but I am VERY sure that others will try your suggestion....very creative!
My ham-gruyere snails did not turn out very well - the jalapeno jelly was too overpowering and clashed with the gruyere. If I make them again it will be with just the ham/gruyere/apricot combo.
In between trying to get a head start on packing up all my stuff, making a historically accurate 5th century British woman's dress (never a dull moment working at a museum) and training for the half marathon, I made a firm starter for potato, chive, and cheddar bread that I will be tackling on Monday. A glorious day off with nothing to but make bread and pork ragu, and maybe a dessert too if I'm feeling super ambitious.
re: zitronenmadchen
re: zitronenmadchen
re: karykat
It's a recipe from Peter Reinhart's Bread Bakers Apprentice. I found this link that gives the recipe with volume measurements. http://breadmakingblog.breadexperienc...
re: zitronenmadchen
I took a look at your link. The bread looks fantastic!!! Absolutely fantastic.
Have you made it before? Does it taste real sour-doughy? It looks like it starts with the barm and seed culture.
If it is sourdoughy, I wonder if it's possible to adapt it for a nonsourdough-type. Or if that would be going too far. The texture looks amazing and the flavors sound great.
re: karykat
I have made it before, the sourdough taste wasn't particularly noticeable, probably over powered by all the other stuff going on. It does make a really delicious bread that disappears quickly.
I don't see why it couldn't be adapted into a non sourdough bread, Peter Reinhart has a recipe for potato rosemary bread that could probably be easily used with cheese.

Mmmmm. I love PB pie, but have never made my own. Used to order it at a BBQ joint I haven't visited in ages. I would be VERY interested in your recipe if you don't mind sharing. And as to better decorating? Not at all, some of the chocolate swirlies even look heart-shaped. Heck, if it were more perfect, no one would want to touch it. :) I wanted to grab a fork and dig in immediately when I saw it!
re: kattyeyes
This is the original recipe from Jennifer Perillo--I haven't been able to access the original post, just the cache. This year has been a tough one for us--DH has been through a number of eye surgeries and is scheduled for a 5th in a month's time. Since it's Thanksgiving I thought I'd make this pie to remind me to be thankful of what I still have... DH and I are celebrating 12 years this weekend.
re: maplesugar
Ohmygoodness, thank you, maplesugar. That post looks familiar to me (I probably have it saved in a file somewhere)--very sad and very sweet. I wish you a happy anniversary and happy Thanksgiving as well. What a perfect way to celebrate with this pie. Sending a hug and all best wishes to you and your husband. Stay strong!

I wanna say they're readily available in my n'hood supermarket. I definitely want to try that pie when I have a crowd to feed. And I was just thinking of maplesugar b/c of your Canadian T'giving post. :) There's another chocolate cookie I used to be kinda hooked on a few years back that might work here, too. Next time I go to the store, I'll try to find it and post back in case you're interested. They're also good just for plain ol' snacking (which can be problematic).
re: kattyeyes
re: Chocolatechipkt
AHA--found 'em! I haven't eaten them in several years now, but I used to be very fond of them: MI-DEL All Natural Chocolate Snaps. They may be in the organic section in your supermarket. I think they'd be EXCELLENT as a chocolate cookie crust for PB pie:
re: kattyeyes
Uh oh. See that and raise you this...and there goes more leisure time not in front of the computer...
re: buttertart
I substitute the butter and chocolate wafer cookies with oreos all the time. No need to scrape off the frosting, it helps them ahere. I kind of prefer the chocolate wafer cookies, but they are just so expensive and are never on sale, but find oreos on sale a lot.
re: Caitlin McGrath
Thanks for the well wishes all. :) Nabisco wafers would have been ideal but I sent Dh to get the ingredients this time and he came home with Oreo crumbs-they worked fine so I'd say you could use whichever you can get your hands on.
Cutting in was difficult because the chocolate on the bottom had solidified. Next time I'll probably go with a ganache.

re: maplesugar
Oh, maplesugar! I thought I had copied/pasted or otherwise filed this link. And now it doesn't work, nor does the original from Jennie Perillo. :( If you still have it, I promise to paste it into Word or print it for safekeeping. I've been googling around a while now without success.
I hope you had a wonderful anniversary! ♥
ETA: Here is an adaptation. Do you know how it differs from the original?
re: kattyeyes
I thought I lost it but I found a copy I made the first time I made the pie!
8oz. chocolate cookies(I think I used 8.5)
4Tbsp butter, melted
4oz. chopped chocolate or chocolate chips
1/4 c. chopped peanuts
1 c. heavy cream
8oz. cream cheese
1 c. peanut butter
1 c. confectioners sugar
1 can (14oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
t tsp. fresh squeezed lemon juice
2 oz. chopped chocolate, melted
Crush cookies and combine with melted butter, and press into a 9 inch springform pan.
Melt chocolate and spread over prepared crust. Spread peanuts over melted chocolate and put the pan in the fridge while you get the filling ready.
Pour whipping cream into a large mixing bowl, beat to stiff peaks and set aside. Transfer whipped cream to a small bowl and set aside. Place peanut butter and cream cheese in the mixer bowl and beat until light and fluffy. Turn the mixer to low and gradually beat in confectioners sugar (go too fast and there'll be a powdered mess all over your kitchen) :)
Add sweetened condensed milk, vanilla and lemon juice, turn mixer to medium and beat until smooth and well combined.
Stir 1/3 of the whipped cream into the mixture, then fold in the remaining whipped cream. Pour filling into prepared crust. Drizzle 2oz. melted chocolate over top if using. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight before serving.
re: maplesugar
I really really want to try making this (non-creamy) peanut butter-CUP pie.. because I also do not like any of the traditional 'pies' for the holidays... if anyone has made it, let me know. It does look somewhat similar.
re: maplesugar
You're the best! Thanks so much. I need to wait till the storm passes AND till I know I have people around to share with me, but I am definitely going to make this. AND I saved it in my own files so I won't lose it again.
As a bonus, here is the video to explain the story behind this beautiful pie:

re: buttertart
Not ti high knack ths thread, but Buttertart could you look at the post below, I had a question or you. TY
re: maplesugar
re: maplesugar
We took a fruitless (har har) trip to the apple orchard today that left us craving an apple dessert. Luckily I had some par-cooked sliced apples in the freezer (from last year and still tasty/not freezer burned!), plus a bit of pie dough, so I made a tiny pie in a 6" casserole dish. Not as elaborate an affair as my usual pie making endeavors but delicious nonetheless!
I've got dough resting in the fridge for pumpkin doughnuts Sunday morning, but after making that I had left-over pumpkin, so I made pumpkin souffles, but I needed caramel sauce to go with, so I made that too. Then I had left over beaten egg whites, so I folded in melted chocolate and chopped nuts, dropped onto parchment lined cookie-sheets and baked. It's kind of like Alice Medrich's chocolate souffle cookies, but guestimated. They turned out great and my brother and his friends (teenage boys) ate all of them.
I have to report back on my pre-fab apple pie. I had a fully-baked pie shell in the freezer that I refreshed briefly in the oven. I cooked apples (Jonathans), sugar, and a spec of salt on the stovetop until the apples were done and the liquid had evaporated. In the meantime, I made streusel and baked it on a baking sheet, stirring occasionally. Then I just assembled the pie and cooled it.
The most unique thing about this pie is that the filling had no thickener, yet it wasn't runny. The difference in texture was noticeable. Along that same line, the pie was not runny at all, just nicely moist with a crisp crust. The streusel was not as tender as I would like; maybe a different recipe is needed.
One of the other great things here was that I could taste and adjust the sweetness in the filling instead of guessing how much sugar this batch of apples needed.
All in all, a success, and hubby REALLY loves it.
For Thanksgiving I made the pumpkin, sweet potato and coconut pie from Regan Daley's cookbook " In the Sweet Ktchen". It's a fall favourite and always a crowd pleaser!
Today I am recipe testing vegan Black Bean Brownies. I'm not going to lie - they sound revolting, but none of the other testers were claiming it so I thought, why not me?!
re: tiffeecanoe
re: zitronenmadchen
Unfortunately, I was right. They were pretty revolting. I mean, if you call them black bean cocoa bars, maybe they might be a hit somewhere. I'd try again and add an entire extra cup of sugar but that would defeat the purpose of these healthy brownies ;) And if I'm making healthy brownies, why on earth would I add the black beans? I'd just go the sugary and oil route!
re: tiffeecanoe

re: tiffeecanoe
Black bean brownies have been making the rounds for a while.. but I also fail to see the point! Apparently they were featured on Dr. Oz's show, and a friend's mother made them.. she said that they were awful. I've had pretty good low-fat brownies that use applesauce or yogourt for moisture, but they don't compare to the real thing.
Black beans belong in savory food.. not sweet food!
re: zitronenmadchen
Today I made a couple of loaves of bread, just a white with a preferment that I mixed up yesterday and left to sit in the fridge until I was ready. They look very nice.
Some Gingerbread Biscotti to bring to work as a snack! I'll leave the cake/yeast baking for a weekend project.
re: alliels
I baked a batch of pumpkin cinnamon rolls from smitten kitchen - fragrant , beautiful and delicious.
re: alliels
Not quite baking, but I made caramel apples today. They're divine. The sugar might have gone a tad too long, but I like the fact that it's got a slightly bitter edge. Just a tinge, and it stops them from being cloying.
re: roxlet
Oooh! What recipe did you use and what kinda apples? I've got Macouns to caramelize tomorrow night. Am going to try a bit of a bourbon salted caramel twist on mine (fingers crossed). In my (limited) experience, the sugar going too long just makes the caramel harder. Are you saying it changed the flavor altogether? I'm psyched to try this--never made caramel apples before. :)
Do you have pics?
re: kattyeyes
I haven't made caramel apples in a while, but the best trick I ever learned was to quarter and core the apples first, then put a stick in each quarter and dip. The presentation is less impressive, but the caramel to apple ratio is WAY better and they're a lot easier to eat that way.
re: kattyeyes
I used the recipe in the October issue of Martha Stewart Living. I bought a bag of small, very crisp gala apples today, and when I was reading the magazine, the recipe just struck me as being right for the apples. I thought I had some skewers or something, but all I could find were cocktail umbrellas on long, sharp picks, so they look kind of funny. This recipe actually called for some Maldon Sea Salt being sprinkled on, but I am not a huge fan of salted caramels, and I know I'm in the minority here. Don't get me wrong -- I love salty things -- but there is something about salt on caramels that interrupts the flavor for me. But I'm a purist in a lot of things (I want my creme brûlée to be creme brûlée, damn it!), so I'm sure that these would be wonderful with salt, if that's what you like.
re: roxlet
Ah, OK, I'm sure Miss Martha (AND YOU!) make a mean caramel apple. Now I want to see them more with their schmantzy umbrellas--that's funny! I requested some extra chopsticks for mine! I like JUST A TOUCH of salt. Some people go way the wrong way (to my taste, anyway) with salted caramel. I like the sweet salty combo to be a little flavor enhancer, not a salt lick. A man in town makes salted caramels that I would sooner feed to a deer. Or a horse. Or whoever else licks salt. :)
By the way, I read a tip that using fine-grade sandpaper to lightly sand the apples helps the caramel stick. What say ye? Did yours stick just find sans sanding? I am so hungry for a caramel apple right this moment and I am instead drowning in my own stuffed shells...
re: kattyeyes
re: nomadchowwoman
Here they are. Minus one, which you see being demolished with my sticky fingers...
I really would love to know (and will continue to research) the absolute accurate temp to hit. The recipe I was following said 230 (soft ball), which is not soft ball on my thermometer! 240 is soft ball, so I split the diff and went just over 230. My best guess is maybe 220 would be a better target to hit so they wouldn't be quite so shhhticky!
re: kattyeyes
Very nice! I'm really impressed that you had the right sticks! I thought I had skewers, but I didn't have those, and the only long sticklike thing I had were party beverage parasoles, lol! So I have upside down umbrella's sticking out of my apples. But my son didn't really like them, saying that they were too sticky. Oh, well. WHo's the adult around here, anyway?
re: roxlet
Thanks! What top temp did your recipe call for? I did see those Martha Stewart apples while grocery shopping last night, but when I tried to page to the recipe, it said, "See the workbook" and I gave up looking. I wonder if that's what your son means, re the stickiness. I think the caramel shouldn't cook quite so high. When I made caramels in December, I ran into the same problem. I think it should be not so hard once it cools. I need to find another taster. :)
re: kattyeyes
Don't know if anyone is interested, but here is a recipe for Microwave Caramels that I have used for years to make a very soft caramel - no thermometer needed. Hopefully microwaves are similar enough these days that it will work for everyone else as well as it does for me! BTW, I normally avoid recipes with corn syrup in them, but this is an every 2 or so year exception (along with microwave nut brittle).
Line an 8-inch square pan with buttered parchment paper.
Combine the following ingredients in an 8-cup glass measure:
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 pound light brown cane sugar
1/2 pound unsalted butter
1 c. light corn syrup
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
Microwave on high for 5 minutes.
Stir well.
Microwave on high for 11 1/2 minutes.
Pour into the prepared pan. Cool completely. Caramel is soft enough to wrap when cooled (playdoh-style) around apples, to use for making turtles, as a layer in a dessert, etc. Or, cut and wrap them in waxed paper squares - cut them smaller than you think you should.
re: kattyeyes
re: nomadchowwoman
It was deeelicious! So said both tasters so far besides me. I'd make it again. But I'd like to make the other bourbon salted caramel I made at Christmastime to see if that would be even better. Because in my mind, it was. :)
The small remaining bit of caramel that was leftover, I reheated with a little cream and ate by the spoonful with an apple. MOO.
re: nomadchowwoman
Delicious! I topped with some sea salt! In a separate small bowl I poured what was left of a bag of chocolate chips on the bottom and put the rest of the caramel on top - also very delicious! Wish I had some pecans! Next time. I'll definitely be making this again. I actually used dark brown sugar instead of light. The texture is wonderful. Pretty sure I'll be making some up for Christmas gifts! I really can't believe they came out of the microwave!
re: nomadchowwoman
I think my favorite comment on these so far was from my cousin yesterday. "The caramel was good, but those apples were so excellent, it was almost a shame to put anything on them." LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Macouns. Next up, apple-cranberry crisp with almonds, a new twist on our grandmother's recipe.
Well with Cdn Thanksgiving just past I made baked some corn bread to use in the stuffing - although I was less than impressed with the stuffing (it was a new recipe for me). The corn bread was so delicious I wish I had just eaten it as it was. I also made a dutch apple pie since we had gone apple picking and have an abundance of apples (we also both don't like pumpkin pie...). Last week I made what I called Fall muffins - I basically adapted a 1 1/2 cup flour muffin recipe, using 1 cup of roasted pureed pumpkin, 1/2 cup homemade unsweetened apple sauce, 1/4 cup oil and 2 eggs as the wet ingredients. Threw in some cinnamon & nutmeg and only 1/2 cup sugar - and still found them a bit sweet!!
Just made Julia Child's Gateau A L'Orange Et Aux Amandes (Orange and Almond Spongecake). It originally started out as a small dessert of pears with red wine to satisfy my sweet cravings but at the time, I realized how well spongecake would pair with it. Really craving macarons right now. I want to try Pierre Herme's arabesque macaron recipe later this week. Probably not the smartest idea given how busy I will be with midterms coming up but cant study on an empty stomach. xD

re: nomadchowwoman
It's freeform, I posted the guideline/recipe in the mid-Sept thread, here you go...
Make a pre-ferment/sponge of about 2 c flour, 1 c water, tsp yeast (consistency about like pancake batter), let rise a couple of hours or more.
Add another couple of cups of water to it, plus about 1/2 c milk, and 1/2 c potato flour (or a microwaved, peeled, mashed potato), salt to taste i.e. 2-3 tsp, 1/4 c olive oil, plus enough flour to make a softish dough (should take 6-7 cups total including the preferment).
Let rise once or twice, make into loaves, round or pan. Let rise again.
Bake at 400 deg F for 45 mins or so.
You can do any of the rises in the fridge or let the shaped loaves rise overnight in it, the longer this goes, the better, within reason.
re: buttertart
Well. I've got the baking bug since recipe testing and I really wanted something sweet and non-vegan! So I decided to make cookies. Well, I must have screwed something up in halving the Tollhouse recipe and ended up with some ridiculously amazing, caramely, delicious cookies. I sprinkled with a bit of sea salt before baking and I'm really hoping, and so is my husband, that I can recreate my mistake again!
Yesterday I made a new (to me) brown sugar cookie with Heath Bar Brickel and pecans. Very nice, not too sweet, and kind of adult tasting.
King Arthur red velvet w/lemon cream cheese frosting - for my daughter's 1st bday ladybug smash cake! Wife baked, I decorated.
Couple of reviews said the cake was dry, but KAF altered the recipe to include less flour - and the version that is there was not dry at all. The frost wasn't bad and was different, but I could do without the lemon oil.
Since my daughter got to disembowel the ladybug, we had to enjoy it as cupcakes...

Kitten-head biscuits for me tomorrow. That is, I'm going to make cat head biscuits JUST A LITTLE SMALLER (1/2 cup of dough per each is quite a bit)...planning to make 1/3 cup biscuits and see how that goes. MIAO.
re: bsims76
monkey see, monkey do. whispers of puff pastry in my head. here it is with apples. sort of rustic, sort of free form. http://flic.kr/p/dj7bCy
re: souschef
I liked the apple with its squeeze of lemon juice but this is sadly underbaked and only puffed on the edges. ;^( The pattern of apples is not uniform but it made it to the table and DH was very happy to proclaim deliciousness. He has been dessert deprived since my asthma attack curtailed the baking.
I will try buttertart's quick recipe.
I made the Good Morning Sunshine Bars... only using Biscoff instead of Peanut Butter (with a little extra butter, otherwise Biscoff can get stiff when melted)... they got a little too hard,... but they are also a little toooo good.

From the Baked Elements Book.. but accessed on Serious Eats...
I made the Malgeri Supernatural brownies in a mini muffin tin. I think they're really great that way. It was an 11th hour request for a bake sale, and I wouldn't have had time to let them cool, so I tried them this way they were done in 14 minutes at 325. Grease the pan well -- some did stick even though it was a teflon pan and I had used Baker's Joy.
I made these bars this morning: http://www.savorsa.com/2011/07/aprico...
Lemon Apricot Bars with Hazelnut Crust from "Chewy Gooey Crispy Crunchy" by Alice Medrich.
They're very good but I can't say great -- I'm afraid some people would find them too sweet. The crust is wonderful and holds up well but the top seems too soft, though I baked to the no-jiggle point she recommends. I can taste both the lemon and the apricot, that pleased me. I don't have the book, found the recipe online, but I'm almost sure I saw these bars here in Chowhound.
re: blue room
Hi br, I made these last month so it may have been my post about them in the baking thread that you saw. I was very happy with them, but I didn't encounter the two flaws you mention. Mine weren't too sweet, but I used an apricot fruit spread that is mostly fruit (from http://mountainfruit.com/), and the topping wasn't too soft so I may have baked them longer than you did. OTOH, while I thought the texture of the shortbread crust was great, I couldn't really taste the hazelnuts. And as further proof that mine turned out differently, when I started to sift powdered sugar over the cooled bars, it all instantly sunk in and disappeared!
re: Caitlin McGrath
I found your post (September.) You know, I almost used fruit spread ! But thought no no, stick to the recipe, and so used Smucker's Apricot Jam. Now that they've set for awhile they're firmer (and the powdered sugar has disappeared.)
I could taste hazelnut, but I think I was um eating raw dough at the time.
re: blue room
Yum these look delish.
I made the oatmeal-chocolate chip cake from Cake Keeper Cakes today. Smells great ... and it's all for me now, since the dinner I was taking it to was rescheduled. Might have to share some with the office, I suppose.
I also made Good Morning Sunshine bars, tempted by a mention of them upthread. Yum!
Shall we go over to part 2? http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/8735...
I did a baking project with 8 yo granddaughter -- she loves to measure and cut and then serve.
We made pumpkin spirals -- sort of finger food pumpkin pie. Basically pumpkin puree, molasses, spices -- grated nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon,mace, ground cardamon, cooked down until it's no longer watery.
Rolled out premade pie crusts, slathered on the pumpkin mix, rolled it up and cut into spirals. Baked for 20 minutes.
Gone within an hour.
Not really baking this, but I make Ice Cream cakes for my family get togethers and Holidays.
They are always requested, yet so simple to make.
I'll paraphrase it.
10 oreo cookies and 2 tablespoons of butter in a food processor to crush together. Lately I've been using Birthday flavor of oreos (pretty). Line a bottom of a 9" spring form and bake at 350 for 15 minutes.
Bring a half gallon (is there really such a thing?.... lol! ) of your favorite ice cream to melt a little on the counter.
Let crust cool and spoon half of your ice cream into pan (don't fuss too much), just spread a little smooth. Add 8 more crushed oreos (no butter this time)
Have ready your ganache ready: cream, chocolate, butter. Pour ganache over the oreos.
You can place the cake in the freezer for about 10 minutes if it's getting too soft.
Spoon the rest of the ice cream over the top and smooth with an offside spatular. Take the two oreos that you have left (crushed) and spoon around outer edges of cake and decorate with candy on the top.
Here's my picture: This is peppermint stick, with crushed candy canes and mint chocolate M&M's.
Easy peasy to make and very popular.
I made pumpkin financiers yesterday for a Halloween party. It was based on a recipe from the Sherry Yard book. I made them in mini muffin pans. They were fine. People liked them. But they seemed basically like pumpkin muffins. It had been a while since I had made regular financiers so I didn't remember them clearly. But I remembered them being a little creamy and a little caramelized on the outside and really good.
So I'm going to have to make some regular financiers with all the almond flour I have now.

The Tonawanda News
Tonawanda News — After last season's T-NT game, it took Tonawanda coach Rob Gross a while before he could watch the film.
It had been 14 years since the Warriors went into the locker room at half time with a lead over rival North Tonawanda. It felt like 2012 was the year. But NT scored the only touchdown of the half and outlasted the Warriors, 17-14.
It took Gross a while but he finally stumbled on a realization about that game that has him and his program re-energized.
"In the short term that was a game that took me a while to watch it. In the long term, after now having watched it more times than I can count — going through every single play — the main thing I took away from last year is that we've announced to everybody that this will be a competitive game," he said.
"I've always said as soon as we can consistently make this a competitive game, the talk that was emerging of ending the rivalry will stop. I didn't hear anybody talk about ending the rivalry this year, despite us now being a C school and them being an A school. We need to compete and this needs to be a completive game."
The Warriors began their transformation into a competitive football team the moment Gross stepped back on the sidelines. But he wasn't alone; he brought his father, Rob Gross Jr. and his brother, Matt Gross to help him protect the tradition.
"My father's presence is a direct link to the tradition for our guys," Gross said. "That was most notable when we honored the '63 team, the undefeated '63 team when my dad was a junior. They've always known the tradition exists, but to bring back the players to talk to them and to see people who experienced the tradition is valuable. That's irreplaceable and that's hard to duplicate."
Rob Gross Jr. said he knew his son would turn things around at Tonawanda because of his tireless work ethic. He puts the time in and is always available to the players, and they see that dedication.
"The kids' attitude is the biggest difference; they really want to work hard for him. They see how hard he works and they work hard for him," Rob Gross Jr. said. "There are a lot of basic things like technique, tackling — they weren't learning that stuff for a long while. The first thing he did when he got here was get rid of that single wing."
Gross said when he took over in 2010 the Warriors threw a drop back pass for the first time in seven years, and that was exciting for the players. The road to respectability has been long and grueling, at times, but Gross said it was always worth it.
"I've never doubted our guys, I've always had faith. But that doesn't mean it was easy," Gross said. "The complete radical change in philosophy — we may have thrown the first drop back pass at the school in seven years when I got here. That first group of guys that were seniors were so excited and bought into what we were doing. They were kind of like the engine that pulled the train and I've always known that it was pulling us somewhere in the hope that things would improve."
Matt Gross earned 11 varsity letters while at Tonawanda and went on to play Division 1 baseball. He volunteers on the Warriors coaching staff and his presence is invaluable for the players, Gross said.
"The players can see Matt when they run drills and they can see his athletic ability," Gross said. "They understand when he says something he's saying it from experience. He's had success as an athlete and they listen to him because of the mental toughness he has."
When this year's senior class were freshman Gross told them all they would be a playoff team in four years if they did all the things he asked of them. He said their success is no accident, it's a direct result of hard work and dedication on the field, in the weight room and in the class room.
After all that work those players now get to play in the biggest game of their lives.
"There's nothing like a T-NT game. Once you play in one you'll always remember it," Rob Gross Jr. said. "I'll have my 50th high school reunion next year, but at my 45th the football guys were all in the corners talking about their T-NT games. You remember every play, it's something you never forget. It can't be replaced."
Four years later, Gross and the Warriors feel they're in position to finally compete with North Tonawanda. Gross said all the time and energy is worth it because he's been able to watch his players succeed.
"The hours, the time and and the overall ups and downs — the emotional roller coaster of getting to that place you believe in — it's never been unpleasant," he said. "It's been amazingly rewarding every single day. Every day I've been able to pull something from these guys the last four years that keeps me going."
It helps to look over in a game or at practice to see his father and his brother. To see the tradition before his eyes.
"If I stop to think about how lucky I am to have my father and my brother coaching with me in my program, it's emotionally overwhelming," Gross said. "I make sure I stop during practice and look over at them and enjoy the moment. This is a very rewarding job, but the feeling I get knowing they're a part of this with me, it overwhelms me."Find @tonanewssports and sports editor @MattParrino on Twitter for complete high school sports coverage.

Portland ends August with only a trace of rain, tying the PDX record also held in 1998, 1970, 1967 and 1955.
The dry July and August combo finished with .21 inches of rain, the driest for the combined months since 2003.
Interesting to note that the summer of 1967 finished July and August with only a trace of rain, which is the record.
June through August is considered meteorological summer. The mean temperature for the summer months was 2 degrees below normal.
August was the only month to average above normal temperatures. The average high last month was 83 degrees.
Forecast outlooks continue to project below normal rainfall for Portland through October with near normal temperatures.

Who has gone to see this in theatres? (It doesn't count if you watched it on TV, DVD, etc )
I lost my Rocky Horror Picture Show "virginity" last month. I happened to have the saturday off where they are showing it in my city. My wife had been wanting to take me to see it for some time. Also I was interested since I found out on the forums here that two of the characters in Book 2 currently are dressed as characters from this movie(Wanda and Jillian). A couple of my friends came as well.
The audience participation and the bizaare movie plot made things a sort of confusing at first, but the audience participation is what makes the experience. I had a lot of fun and enjoyed the movie. I definately wanna go back again and bring some "virgins" to the show when I get the chance .
I thought I didn't quite catch the whole movie so I looked up the plot when I got home. The movie's wierd plot was exactly what I thought it was
If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend you go! You can find out where it is playing near you here:

Knights shine in overtime; Girls are one win from clinching postseason
"We went back to those three words—Want it more," said Forgione. "At the end of the day, you've got to dig down deep. We knew it was going to be tough, but you have to try to answer. The kids really responded."
According to Chapman, the victory raises the bar for the Knights. "This is a very good team," she said. "By stepping up and winning this game, we showed that we have every opportunity to win the rest of the way."

Fishkind Commentary: State Supreme Court Medical Malpractice Ruling Exposes Need for Tort Reform
March 18, 2014 | WMFE, Orlando - There's a big change in Florida's medical malpractice laws, and 90.7's economic analyst Hank Fishkind says it's just one part of a bigger issue that ends up hitting many Floridians in the wallet.
Last Thursday, the state Supreme Court ruled that it is unconstitutional to limit the amount of money a jury can award a plaintiff for non-economic damages, generally referred to as "pain and suffering," in wrongful death cases.
Fishkind says removing the previous $1 million cap on non-economic damage awards opens the door to increasing an economic burden for insurance companies that is already oversized in Florida, and those costs get passed on to residents in the form of higher premiums. Not just health insurance premiums are affected, he says, but car insurance premiums are, too. He tells 90.7's Nicole Creston that these rising prices can be addressed by tort reform.

CNET reporter Daniel Terdiman travels to Europe for his annual Road Trip adventure.
One of the most impressive historic car shows in the world also plays host to its share of new, exotic cars. We spent last Sunday at the 2012 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.
During the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance weekend, we got a chance to drive the Fisker Karma, a car that looks decidedly forward amongst a sea of historic cars.
CNET Car Tech takes a look at some of the most expensive new cars in the world at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.
The Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance is known for hosting some of the best restored historic cars in the world. But it also attracts quite a few new, and very expensive cars. We perused a few that were on display.
CNET posts photos from the 2009 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.
Four classes of Bentleys will show at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance on August 16, including the oldest racing cars.
The 16th Annual Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance will feature a Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman landaulet built specially for Pope Paul VI.
The basics are the same: A uniform, a helmet, boots, a rucksack, and a rifle. But that's about the only similarities between what a D-Day soldier and one in Afghanistan took into combat.
For simple, travel-size smoothie making, look to the affordable Hamilton Beach Stay or Go Blender, but you'll have to spend more for hard-core food processing.
With a major software update and new app store, the original Pebble gets a new lease on life -- a less stylish but arguably better value than the newer Steel.

The Norman Transcript
OKLAHOMA CITY — Coming into the opening game of the Bishop McGuinness Classic, Norman North had two goals. The first was to improve the defensive rebounding, and the second was to come out ready to play from the start.
After a 75-60 win over Deer Creek on Thursday, coach Butch Roberts saw progress on both fronts, if not a complete turnaround.
"We were ready to play from beginning, and we did a better job rebounding," he said. "I thought today we shared the ball as well as we have all year. But we still need to get better at rebounding. Right now we do it when it's easy or convenient, but we need to do it all the time."
They did it enough against the Antlers. After the lead changed hands five times in the first quarter, North began to pull away. Spurred by Payton Prince, who scored eight of his 16 points in the first quarter, the T-Wolves stretched the lead to 16-11 at the end of the frame.
It was a sign of things to come, and North used a 15-2 second-quarter run to take firm control of the game. A big part of that came from the Timberwolves' activity on the boards, including one possession in which North pulled down four offensive rebounds before Tye Neubauer finished off the possession with a short jumper.
After two encouraging games last week against Class 6A's top two teams in Edmond Memorial and Midwest City, the Timberwolves delivered on that promise against Deer Creek, building a 20-point lead in the second half.
But the Antlers wouldn't go away, and after several deep 3-pointers, they had closed the gap to 10 points with just under four minutes to go. In what could be seen as a sign of growth for the young T-Wolves, they weathered the storm, clamped down on the defensive end and extended the lead back to 20 in the game's final minutes.
"We were really ready for this tournament," Prince said. "We had two really good practices this week, and it carried into today."
Prince led North with 16 points, while Tye Neubauer turned in his best game of the year with 12 points. Marcus Dickinson had eight for the T-Wolves. Deer Creek had a balanced effort, with three players scoring in double digits.
Next up for North is a semifinal game tonight against Edmond North. With a win, the T-Wolves can advance to the title game after finishing fifth a year ago.
"Getting this win gives us a lot of intensity for the rest of the weekend," Prince said. "We know we can compete with anyone here at this tournament."

New York State Department of Cor
Former New York Giants receiver Plaxico Burress started his two-year sentence for carrying an illiegal handgun in a Manhattan nightclub. The NFL star accidentally shot himself in the leg after storing the weapon in the elastic band of his sweatpants.
As a wide receiver for the Giants, Plaxico Burress put up great numbers. But he's up against some very different numbers in the first mugshot released since he's been behind bars.
Burress is seen sporting a bald head and chin after being shaved clean at the Ulster Correctional Facility upstate, where he arrived Wednesday.
He looks grim and sad without his usual jewelry and expensive clothes -- dressed only in a drab green prison top and a white tee shirt -- as he glares directly at the camera.
The 32-year-old also seems to come in just above 78" or 6-foot-6, which is taller than his official NFL height of 6-foot-5.
Burress was sentenced to two years in jail on Tuesday after reaching a plea bargain deal with prosecutors following the November incident where he shot himself in the leg while fumbling a gun in a Manhattan nightclub.

MILLEDGEVILLE — Baldwin County adult learners in the midst of earning their GED diploma are encouraged to complete and pass the current tests by the end of the year in order to keep from starting over come Jan. 1, 2014.
"If people in Baldwin County have taken parts of the GED, but not completed the testing process, then they will have to take it all over again when the new test comes out Jan. 1," said Lynn Batson, Milledgeville Central Georgia Technical College (CGTC) Adult Education Program instructor. "All of the scores prior to that will be erased if they have not completed the GED and passed all five parts. If you have parts you need to finish, we strongly encourage you to come in and get it done by Dec. 31."
The American Council on Education, the national administrator of the GED Testing Service, and Pearson collaborated in March 2011 to develop a new GED test aligned with Common Core State Standards to assure colleges, universities and prospective employers that adults who have passed the GED are prepared to compete and succeed in a global economy. Test-takers will also do away with pen and pencil as all portions of the exam will be completed on a computer-based version for the first time.
To date, 38 students at CGTC have taken 64 parts of the GED Test in total and passed 54 parts.
The local campus of CGTC is offering adult learners an opportunity to learn more about the GED tests and get help with completing portions of the exam from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. Refreshments for the initial session last week were donated by Piggly Wiggly and southside McDonald's.
"Last Saturday, about 10 people came in and we ran through the entire testing process. Nine of those people were the ones we were trying to target, and one was new to the program. This Saturday, students will have an opportunity to get one-on-one help. If there are people who haven't taken any part of the GED, they can also come in and we will do an orientation with them in order to assign them to a class," Batson said. "The overall purpose of Saturday's initiative is to give those students who have not completed their GED an opportunity to come back and finish seeing what they need to do in order to complete the GED tests."
The partnership between Communities In Schools Milledgeville-Baldwin County (CISMBC) and the Milledgeville campus of CGTC has successfully offered adult education classes at the Early Learning Center, Graham Homes and Greater Wesley Chapel for adult learners unable to attend classes at the local CGTC campus.
CISMBC established a scholarship fund in partnership with CGTC to pay for GED testing fees for Baldwin County residents who go through the GED program and obtain their diplomas. CGTC also offers a scholarship for students attaining a score of 550 or above on the GED practice test.
"Twenty-five students received Baldwin County scholarships," Batson said. "Seven students are now graduates, or 18 percent of those that took parts."
Georgia residents who pass the GED tests receive a $500 HOPE voucher to help pay for some of their expenses at an eligible Georgia post-secondary institution. The HOPE grant, which is separate from the voucher, will pay for most of the state technical college tuition. To keep the HOPE grant, the student must maintain at least a 3.0 college grade point average.
For more information about the new GED Tests, or to attend Saturday's session, call the Milledgeville campus of CGTC adult education program at (478) 445-5669.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Value of building permits issued fell in March: StatsCan
OTTAWA - Statistics Canada says municipalities issued $6 billion worth of building permits in March, down 3.0 per cent from February.
The agency says the decline followed an 11.3 per cent decrease the previous month.
It says lower construction intentions in the non-residential sector in six provinces, led by Ontario, more than offset a gain in the residential sector.
The value of permits in the non-residential sector fell 8.8 per cent to $2.3 billion in March, the lowest level since January 2013.
In the residential sector, the value of permits rose 1.0 per cent to $3.7 billion, following a 20.8 per cent decrease in February.
The total value of permits was down in five provinces in March, with Ontario posting the largest decline, followed by Quebec and New Brunswick.
