"Special Quesadillas" from the Imperial Valley
oops...just realized i posted this to the wrong thread...not a recipe at all...sorry, but now i don't know how to delete it...
i'm also from the imperial valley (the lovely el centro part) and eat these things every time i go home to visit the family, but something just happened....i went to ecuador this past week and found more special flipping quesadillas!!
they had a couple different types...small ones called empanadas de queso, which shouldn't seem surprising that someone should put cheese in an empanada...but then they also had the big poofy kind like in the imperial valley...these were called empanadas de viento...i posted more pictures here: http://bluecornface.blogspot.com
oh...and if you happen to search back to the sept 2009 part of the blog that i reference, the special quesadilla my husband is digging into is from celia's in el centro...mmmm...(celia's has the best refried beans ever, by the way...)
Have you seen these threads?

We lived in Imperial Vally most of our lives. We retired to Colorado and missed the local food including quesadillas. We decided to try to make some.
We went to Wal-Mart. They had the following ingredients.
La Abuela Brand Ready-to-Cook Tortillas
These are raw, uncooked tortillas....not the ones already cooked and we use for burritos or tacos.
Weslaco, TX
La Chona Quesadilla
Mexican Shredded Cheese
Houston, TX
We put the cheese on a tortilla, folded the tortilla in half, sealed the edges with a fork, cooked on high heat in olive oil. They were very, very similar to those in Imperial Valley in such restaurants as Camachos Place, Celias, La Fonda, etc.
The package said you can seal the edges with milk or eggwash.
We are happy campers. -
re: normalheightsfoodie
I, too, am baffled by the fact that only those of us from the Imperial Valley know the true extent of what we're all talking about. Makes those 118 degree summers worth suffering through! All of you on here, please register on Facebook, search "Central Union HIgh School"...there are so many of us on there and we're always talking about the awesome food! We all probably already know each other! :)
re: toninvegas
"Makes those 118 degree summers worth suffering through!"
My family is still in El Centro, and I lived there long ago when only rich people had air-conditioning, so I can't agree with that wild thought!
But I do agree that Imperial Valley special quesadillas are a great and unique contribution to American cuisine. I have them every time I visit.
It's definitely Comacho's that you're talking about. My parents moved to Yuma from San Diego and I would be sure to stop there when I drove over.
I don't know what kind of cheese they use, it's one of the Mexican varieties and I would venture to say, it's brought over the border rather than purchased in the US. And, I'm pretty sure those flour tortillas are fresh home made. I don't know if you could replicate the exact result with what you can buy locally.
The flour tortilla is folder over the cheese and sealed shut almost like it's crimped. Then the whole thing is deep fried. Not like any other quesadilla I've ever had.
re: ibstatguy
Yo ibstatguy,
So strange, I was born in Brawley in 1956. I have often thought of Special Quesadillas from La Hacienda and wished I could find a recipe.
You're right, these are the best thing ever, can't figure why they never caught on anywhere else.
Do you remember another restaraunt there called Portugee Joe's?-
re: CPB
I grew up in Brawley too and remember these quesadillas. I looked and looked for the recipe on the internet and finally came across this website. Thougth I was dreaming them up there for awhile. I can't believe that no one has ever heard of them except for us few who have obviously one thing in common, The Imperial Valley. Go Figure!!
Thought maybe Camacho's Place would have the recipe but nothing on the web but a review on yelp..
"Special quesadillas - deep fried with great mexican cheese"
Sounds delicious..when I make my flour quesadillas some puff up with large air pockets and then I stuff them with cheese in hot oil in a skillet..
Golden brown cheese bombs of beauty. -
re: ibstatguy
I have had some success, when making flour tortillas, with adding a small amount of baking powder and dropping them into a pan with about 3/4 inch to 1 inch of oil. They puff up nicely and if I fold/roll cheese and peppers into them immediately then move them to a pan that has no oil of its own (uses the residue oil on the tortilla) to finish up they turn out pretty good.
See if you can Google for a Sopaipillos recipe (Not Sopapias). They don't typically include BP as an ingredient but puff nicely just the same and I think they could be used in a similar fashion.

Jojoba Oil – Best. Oil. Ever.
By Guest Writer and Soap Maker: Amy Kalinchuk
I love jojoba oil! The benefits of this oil never seem to stop. We call it an oil, but it's really a type of wax, called a "wax ester." This results from fatty acids and fatty alcohol joining together. It's all very scientific and delightful.
But I don't care about the science, really. I care about the performance. What can jojoba oil do in your different products?
- 1. It can add to the moisturizing benefits of handmade soap. Jojoba oil adds a quality to soap that is difficult to describe, but one word I can think of is "awesome." The lather gets a rich, creamy feel to it, and the skin feels softer and smoother afterwards. I don't recommend you use jojoba oil at more than about 10% in any soap recipe, as it will accelerate trace and make things difficult. This is where knowing that it is really a wax ester comes in handy—those molecules speed up trace, and can make the soap seize if you use too much. 10% is enough to see the benefits.
- 2. It can enhance the performance of any lotion. Lotions will sink in deeper, as jojoba oil mimics our skin's natural sebum. The oil sinks into skin quickly, but because of this, it does not feel very "glide-y." Using jojoba oil in combination with a slicker oil, like avocado or apricot kernel oil, creates a synergy for the lotion: gliding on smoothly, and sinking in quickly. Fabulous.
- 3. It can be used directly on the skin. Once again, because of its composition and our skin's readiness to accept it, jojoba oil is a great choice for a facial cleansing oil. Some folks don't want to use soap on their faces, opting instead for a cleansing oil. Combining a cleansing, astringent oil like castor or hazelnut with jojoba means the oil will clean the pores and then sink in to moisturize at the same time. These cleansing oil formulas work with a hot, steamy face cloth. Massage the oil blend into the face, while running hot, hot water on a washcloth. Wring out the cloth, and slap in on the face. Steam the face until the cloth starts to go colder, then dip it in the hot water and steam the face one more time. After that, dip the cloth one more time, wipe off the excess oil, and rejoice.
- 4. When used on the skin, the effect is near-immediate. This is just observational and not scientific at all. When I apply jojoba oil to my skin, I can see and feel a difference immediately. Because of this effect, I have chosen to use jojoba oil in my lip balm formulation. I want my lip balm to work right away, and I attribute its effectiveness in part, to jojoba oil.
- 5. It is great for the hair, too. I use jojoba oil in a deep-conditioning hair treatment I make. Again, I don't have science here, just experience, but when I put just a couple of drops on my hair when it's wet, and allow it to dry, it makes the hair shiny but also adds to the body and curl. Try it. You'll see.
What other uses do you see for jojoba oil?
Amy Kalinchuk makes and sells handmade soap in Denver, Colorado. She has written and published three books on soap making, including Making Soap in Your Own Kitchen, available at Craft e-Revolution.

Recipe by thechulita
"These meatballs use pecan meal as a meat replacement. They are so good, you don't even miss the meat! This recipe does have eggs and cheese in it, so it is not quite vegan. But those items can be substituted to make it so. The ingredients may sound funny, but the result is amazing! The sauce is very zesty so if you don't want it to be too strong cut down on the vinegar some."
Watch video tips and tricks
cooking spray
1 cup ground pecans
5 eggs, or more if needed
2 cups shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese
1 tablespoon minced onion, or to taste
Italian seasoning, or to taste
1 cup crushed cornflakes cereal
1 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup grated onion
1 (12 ounce) jar apricot jam
1 teaspoon dried oregano
These are crazy good. The meatballs and the sauce are outstanding. I thought the batter was much too soft, so i added an extra 1/4 cup of cornflakes. It was still too soft and the balls all "melted" together when I baked them so it turned out more like meatloaf but so delicious. Maybe next time I will use 1 1/2 cup of cornflakes, or only 4 eggs. I used a lot more onion and replaced about 1/2 cup shredded cheese with cottage cheese. I also added the sauce after about 25min so it would cook longer. I wouldn't cook it more than 40min next time, since it was a bit dry at 50min. This is similar to the vegetarian sweet and sour meatballs but uses cornflakes and your own seasoning instead of breadcrumbs. They are both delicious and very similar but I prefer to use the organic cornflakes cereal instead of seasoned breadcrumbs which is often filled with unhealthy ingredients. Next I will try them in a tomato sauce. Can't wait to make them again!!
Made this last night the only change was to make into 4 small loaves. It was very good will make again. Will probably omit the vegatable oil I dont think it will make a difference.

pretty good, mine came out a meatloaf, too mushy for meatballs

Hi, my name is Sarah or Katanasoul on most art related communitys. I started with manga themed art in 2003 and did that for quite a while.
But eventually I started realizing that I wanted to become better at drawing and I wanted to learn how to paint. To me that meant that I had to practice more.
My best friend avisnocturna told me that conceptart´s a great community, so I thought I could give it a try, even though I´m still afraid I might not be good enough to be here.
I´m trying to become more professional over time and work a lot to get there. I appreciate if you help me becoming better by giving advice or just stopping by and having a look at what I´m doing.
So today, I´m gonna start posting!
This is something I really wish someone could give me advice. It is my very first try to do something digitaly, so I got Artweaver and started. It did not turn out the way I wanted it to. I did not get along with anything...
(The photo is taken from link.)
These are some birds I did a while ago. As all the other pieces in this posting, this is done in penicl only. I love birds.
Two human studys drawn with foto reference. I could definitly improve my anatomy skills...

cool stuff, nice start to ur sb.
i like the soft approach to the shading on those birds.
going to try out that artweaver program
keep posting
Check out my sketchbook!! http://conceptart.org/forums/showthr...=703571&page=4
for your first digi thats really great i would keep doing more the more you do the more you will be able to get results that you want but i think it looks great! an luv the birds an the dress keep up the goods
Thank you very much for you repliies!
I´m glad you like it, and I will go on posting as much as I can.
Yesterday, I downloaded the trial version of photoshop CS2. If I get along with it, I guess I´m going to buy it after my birthday in june. I took a tutorial by Linda Bergkvist and tried to draw an eye in photoshop. I think it could have turned out worse, but still I did not get everything the way I wanted to. Didn´t understand that part about texture and how to do that, so I´d be glad if somebody told me.
And again, two pencil sketches done in a train and at university. Each one took about ten minutes. Don´t ask me why I had mustard with me...
♣ My sketchbook ♣ My blog ♣
Your pencil work is so good, keep it up.
Whooooa, nice pieces.
The birds are great and the first human study with the wrinkle~dress is insane ! Hope we´re going to see a lot of more from you!
Keep up t e h good work.
Was that eye your first try at photoshop? It's amazingly amazing, i like it even
more than the one on the tutorial haha... but it's nowhere as amazing as those
birds, I can't believe the quality of the shading you've put on them.
your sketchbook looks very promising! can't wait to see more.
Thank you very much for your comments, you´re really motivating me to work harder!
@flowereater: No, it actually is my second try. My first is the face in the first post of this sketchbook. But I am very happy that you like it, even though I guess the original is much better than mine.
So, here I am with new studys!
At the weekend, I visited my grandparents. They have lots of skulls of forest animals at their walls, and I took one and sketched it.
Anyway, I wasn´t able to remove the birds from the wall, so I sat there upside down on the sofa with my head on the table and sketched one of the birds above me. That was fun, but my head hurt afterwards...
The dice is from a role play game afternoon, sketched it very quickly. Looks horrible when I look at it now...
♣ My sketchbook ♣ My blog ♣
nice work, dear. Birds are scary o___o
Yesterday, I bought "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" by Betty Edwards. My best friend recomended it to me and I thought it may help me, too.
So today, I did the first exercise. It was about drawing your hand by viewing, a self portrait with a mirror and a face from imagination. So, this is what came out. Not sure if this is good at all, but I´m not doing that to be good but to improve.
It took me about half an hour to do the portrait (that does not really look like me...), ten minutes for the hand and five to ten for the face.
♣ My sketchbook ♣ My blog ♣
Very ncie works, and about what did Linda mean, it's about making thing look less digital to give it texture (in this example skin looks, texture can be in most cases anything that disturbs the monotony, hope you get what i'm trying to say) cheers!
Best wishes, Ice
the Skulls are great, espacially the rendering. The first pic could be a litte more smooth, but it looks good anyway.
The last two faces seem to be a little bit meaningless.
very good start. Its seems you're very good at values and rendering (wich seems true for many girls i know, perhaps it's related to sensivity)
your stills are very good. Perhaps you should practice more on life drawing. (draw many portraits and live things) do many lines from life.(if you're alone draw selfportraits:one each day or each week)
The betty edwards books is good, take a look at andrew loomis's books
they are simply the best
there a good thing you can pick from conceptart: looking at the sketchbook of someone who is already taking drawing classes and do the same exercices like dorian
keep it
@icecold: Thank you very much for explaining! I guess I got that now. I feel like practice is really everything about it (as if that was something completely new...). So I will try.
@CarstenJ: Thanks, I´m glad you like them. Well, this seems to be the thing about sketches one does to practice. If you´d see my blind contour drawings, you would know what meaningless really means.
@zou: Wow, this was very motivating and helpful!
Thank you for the links, I apreciate that a lot. I will work harder!
At the moment, I have got lots of work do do. I wanted to participate this weeks CHOW, so this is what I did. I am very unhappy with what came out though. The sketch was nice, but the coloured version looks horrible. If anybody could tell me why and what I could do better, I´d be very happy.
♣ My sketchbook ♣ My blog ♣
damn nice sketches!
post some higher resolution of them so we can take a closer look
as comment on the last paint, it isnt interesting enough. No use of highlights, no hard shades, nothing to focus on. The sketch and the idea are good though
keep it up, post some more stuff and you'll definetly get some stars
@Grafguy: Thank you very much.
I hope I can do better this time. Going to work digitaly, so that I am not irritated by my wish to keep the pencil lines visible and messing up with colours then.
Stars... Well, that would be amazing! I don´t really know how to get them, but I think one has to be very good...
So, here is my first sketch for this weeks CHOW. I did it in photoshop and hope I can participate this time. Feel free to critisize- As ever.
(Still so much work do do... Having many tasks at the moment... ^^°)

I did the greyscales now after university and before my pilates lesson. The green fairy is such a nice topic... I am going to do my best.
Feel like I am improving... Hopefully... ^^°
♣ My sketchbook ♣ My blog ♣
Some really nice stuff you've got in here so far, I'm totally diggin' it. I'm also liking how your green fairy is turning out so far, great topic right? Good Luck! X)
you really could post your pictures in a higher resolution, dear
The fairy's looking really nice so far!
There are very nice works in your thread so far Your rendering is great!
I love that piece of the woman dressed in that fantatic gown!
Looking forward to see new things in this thread
well that eye from the begining is totally cool! maybe there is a way it could be better (there is probably always some way) but im a low level drawer (so far) so... you know... nice !
My first sketchbook... wanna improve!
I also wanna rock! ROCK! tuptuptudum...tudumtuptudum...tudumtuptudum... I - want - to - rock!
Nice sketchbook so far - I really like your bird sketches, your should do more of them
And the fairy wip looks nice - i kinda like the pose and i'm really looking forward to see the finished painting! But i think something about the arms does not look right to me.. maybe the upper arms are a little bit to thick.. but that might be just me ;D
go on!
I think you have talent and look forward to seeing you evolve into a fine artist.
great studies! Love your pencil work
Oh my god, thank you all for commenting!
@AmbientSounds: Thanks! Wasn´t able to finish it as I have a very important contest going right now. I think I will try finishing it when I am done, which is by the beginning of june.
@ Avis Nocturna: Love you.
@Eiki: Thank you very much. Every woman would like to have such a dress, wouldn´t she?
@quackart: Merci. Yes, I am really sure there is a way, it could be sharper and more lively, and I could have made it more vibrant. Gonna work on that.
@Demodeus: Thanks a lot! Yeah, I will do more birds, that´s for sure. I love them so much I just can´t stop drawing them. Maybe I will show you my own pet birdies, too. Got four budgies at home.
Thank you as well for you criticism, I am going to correct that.
@mike butkus: Aaaahhhh... @___@
Oh my, YOU saying something like this to me! Let me tell you that I love your work and feel very, very encouraged and proud to have such a great artist telling me I had talent. I will work very, very hard to show you and the rest of the world that I can really make it.
@Eva K: Thank you! Here is more of that.
A quick self portrait, more a colour study that everything else.
A German cinema and a bus I took this week.
A small pencil drawing of a woman, pencil and inspired by a photo I once took.

The pencil work is nice as always, but you could work on your Selfportraits.
First: You might want to use bigger strokes with high opacity! Details come last.
Then I analysed your values and picked your lightest Light and darkest Dark. As you can see in the bars on the right they are pretty close. Your lightest light could be a lot lighter, as well as you darkest dark could be darker.
Next comes saturation. I picked a few colours from your skintones. As you can see in the bars, they have pretty much the same level of saturation. You could add a lot more variety.
Here's a tutorial that might help you

fellow artists:
I am back again!
Again spent time at my grandparent´s and visited Leipzig for the WGT. I did lots of comic work these days, but also practiced a bit. I am trying to become faster, so I did not add lots of detail.
Some trainpeople first.
When I lowered the size, it became a little blurry... Is there a way to avoid that?
A negative space drawing and a five-minutes-silkflower.
For those who haven´t heard of negative space drawing before: You try to not to draw an object itself but the surrounding empty space. It´s lots of fun to do and helps concentrating on drawing what you really see and not what you think you do.
This is my grandfather on the sofa watching TV. I love him, he is a very nice person.

How do goalies who make the NHL at some point get there? Does choosing juniors over the NCAA make a significant difference?
Big, fast, and strong describes new Habs prospect Jacob De La Rose quite nicely. While there are questions about his offensive upside, there's a lot to like about the rest of the young Swedish professional's game.
For the first time in this lockout, it seemed like this feature may not have been needed anymore, but here we are back to square one.
As the World Junior Championship approaches, prospects are looking to impress.
With the lockout, several Habs players are playing in Europe. We'll give you a weekly breakdown on how they're doing, along with Habs prospects.
The 2012 NHL lockout is at the end of its first week, with preseason games having already been canceled. No progress has been made since it started, and players are already signing with teams in Europe.
The construction of the Swedish chapter of Oilers Alumni Abroad continues, as San Fernando joins Struds at Södertälje. SSK are currently sitting 8th out of 14 in the Allsvenskan. All-in-all, this sounds like a pretty solid move for a Swedish 2nd division club!
The Portland Timbers have announced a pre-season tournament at Jeld-Wen Field with Chivas USA, San Jose Earthquakes and Sweden's AIK.
Two countries who've never before placed a player in the NHL have a shot to do so in the coming years.
How have recent events changed the landscape of European professional hockey? Three years after the Champions Hockey League and the establishment of the KHL, we're really only now figuring it out.

Lemon-Limoncello Cupcakes
These cupcakes have almost rendered me speechless. Trying to come up with the words to describe the incredible flavor experience that these provide is no small task. These lemon beauties topped off an Italian-themed meal (one that had begun with the Fontina-Stuffed Bacon-Wrapped Dates as an appetizer) and was the perfect clean-flavored dessert that I was looking for. There are three levels of lemon flavor in the cupcakes that combine to deliver the perfect balance of tart and sweet, and had people fighting over the last cupcake (seriously). The batter is flavored with lemon zest, lemon juice and a punch of limoncello; a tart lemon curd fills the inside of the cupcakes, and on top sits a sweet cream cheese frosting with the subtle tang of limoncello. These are simple and classy, a perfect dessert for a summer meal.
Although comprised of three separate steps, these cupcakes are simple to put together and not very time consuming. While the cupcakes are in the oven baking, the lemon curd can be made in less than 10 minutes. While the cupcakes and curd cool, make the frosting and then you are ready to assemble and serve! I tasted a spoonful of lemon curd before assembling the cupcakes and thought it might be a bit too tart, but was pleasantly surprised when I tasted the entire cupcake. The curd didn't appear too tart at all, and was perfectly balanced by the cake and frosting. As you can see, I popped the finished cupcakes into an additional liner – Wilton Nut & Party Cups – for a prettier presentation.
If you want to make homemade limoncello, you can certainly do so, but plan ahead! Homemade recipes require 7 to 10 days of the lemon steeping in vodka before proceeding with the rest of the recipe. If you want to give it a go, you can find recipes here and here.
These cupcakes have been entered into Bake at 350's Flavor of the Month event for August: PUCKER UP! Lemon, Lime or a combination. Head on over to check out the event, see what everyone baked up, and find out next month's theme.

Lemon-Limoncello Cupcakes
Yield: 1 dozen
Prep Time: 45 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
For the cupcakes:
1½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 ounces (½ stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons limoncello
½ cup buttermilk
¼ cup lemon juice
Zest of one lemonFor the lemon curd:
Zest of 2 lemons
½ cup lemon juice
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 egg + 1 egg yolkFor the cream cheese limoncello frosting:
2 ounces (½ stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 tablespoon limoncello
2 cups powdered sugar, siftedDirections:
1. Prepare the cupcakes. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and position a rack in the center. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter, cream cheese and sugar on medium speed until light and creamy, 2-3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the limoncello and beat an additional minute. On low speed, add flour mixture and buttermilk alternatively, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Add the lemon juice and zest and mix on low speed just until incorporated. Divide the batter between 12 muffin tins. Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the middle comes out clean. Let cool completely.
2. Prepare the lemon curd. In a heavy medium saucepan, stir together the lemon zest, juice and sugar and bring to a simmer over medium heat. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and egg yolk. Whisk the lemon mixture into the eggs to temper them. Scrape the mixture back into the saucepan and place over medium heat, whisking constantly until it thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, and let cool completely.
3. Prepare the cream cheese limoncello frosting. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and cream cheese on medium speed until light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the limoncello and beat for an additional minute. Reduce the speed to low and gradually add the sifted powdered sugar and beat until fully incorporated and smooth.
4. Assemble the cupcakes. Cut a hole into each cupcake with the large end of a melon baller or the back end of a large pastry tip. Fill each cavity with the lemon curd. Fill a pastry bag with a star tip (I used Wilton 1M) with the cream cheese limoncello frosting and pipe onto each cupcake. Decorate with lemon and berries, if desired.

Wow! Definitey drool-worthy. Beautiful photos and garnish. Thanks for the tip on putting the cupcake into a party nut cup. I love the look, but am too afraid to bake in them after an overflow incident (and now because they changed the cups, adding a shiny plasticy coating in them.). Thanks for the ideas!
made these today with some alterations and they were quite good:
didnt have limoncello so i substituted more zest and a bit of lemon curd for both frosting and cupcakes. didnt use lemon curd as filling, instead glazed with raspberry jam before putting on frosting — as it was it was a little overwhelmingly lemony. next time i will just make these delicious cup cakes and then use even more raspberry jam and vanilla frosting..
overall, a wonderful idea -
I just made these – I added oh…probably triple the limoncello, 'cuz that's how I roll, and just evened out the consistency with more sugar. I also added a bit more lemon zest to the frosting to add even more fresh lemon flavor. I used the 1M tip and topped them just like you did. Beautiful and totally delicious!
I made these this weekend: http://yfrog.com/1xbrzzj Everyone said these are their favorites. Due to time constraints I wasn't able to add the curd but they were a hit.
Made these cupcakes last night. I've become quite a lemon fanatic and I never used to like lemon. I had to use citrus vodka because there was no limoncello in my town but they were wonderful. Thanks for the recipes! I also made your taco dip during the 4th and it was a hit too! Keep up the good work, I check daily!!
Pingback: Mocha Cupcakes with Espresso Buttercream Frosting | Brown Eyed Baker
I made these the other day and they were amazing, tasted Just like lemon mirangue pie! When I baked the cupcakes they turned barely yellow but were cracked on the top just slightly. They didn't have much colour but were cooked through and very moist so don't be afraid if they don't brown like other cupcakes. Will be making them for a birthday this weekend
I've made these twice, and they are AMAZING! I actually think I may have developed an addiction to these. Thank you so much for this recipe.
I had trouble getting the frosting stiff enough for piping, is there a secret? I think I'm doing something wrong. I gave up with the pastry bag and just plopped a spoonful on each cupcake. It worked, but I really wanted to make them fancy.
Thank you again for the lemony goodness.
I loved the recipe, the tart lemon curd really did go nicely with the cream cheese frosting! I'm totally making this again.
However, I made this as a cake (two 10 in. rounds) and it was very dense. It didn't stop anyone from eating it but I'm wondering if this happens often with cupcake recipes (made into cake). Are cupcake recipes meant to be baked as cupcakes for a reason??? Thanks for any explanation -
Pingback: Delicious Recipes » Lemon-limoncello filled cupcakes from Brown Eyed Baker
I love this recipe. I love this frosting. And I don't even really love Lemon. These were a huge hit in my house! I'll quote my boyfriend, "These lemon cupcakes really excite my mouth". LOL! He was right! These were moist, delicious and the lemon curd gives the subtle lemon flavor in both the cupcake and the frosting a real ZING! I will definitely remake these time and time again. They were also SO fun to decorate! I totally copied you and added a little slice of lemon and a raspberry…that bite with the raspberry, a little lemon curd and frosting…AMAZING!
Pingback: In the beginning … there were cupcakes | Cupcake Friday
I just made these cupcakes for my husband (his favorite dessert is limoncello cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory and they were a huge hit! Though they didn't look as cute as yours, they were still delicious!
For all of those non-drinkers out there, my husband and I don't drink, so we only added the limoncello to the cupcakes (since it will be mostly cooked out). For the frosting, I used lemon juice instead of limoncello. The frosting was my favorite part!
Pingback: Valentine's Day Dessert Recipes | Brown Eyed Baker
I made these for Valentine's Day, along with your Red Velvet cupcakes, and both were amazing! I'm more of a cook, not a baker, so when my husband accused me of buying both, I took it as a huge compliment! I will confess, however, I topped the limoncello cupcakes with a strawberry frosting I came up using the frosting recipe for this one as the base, simply adding a strawberry puree (from 1/2 cup frozen strawberries I had) and a bit more powdered sugar (to thicken) and 1 1/2 more TBSPs of butter. I still threw in a little dash of the limoncello and a bit of lemon zest, conjuring up thoughts of strawberry lemonade frosting. My husband is to blame as I know he's not the biggest fan of lemon and I thought I could woo him better with the pink stuff. They were a HIT! The pink frosting looked beautiful against the yellow lemon curd and pretty cake. Because I really am not a baker, I have limited my 'roster' to 10 'go to' recipes… BOTH of these have made the list! I am looking forward to making the red velvet cupcakes as a layer cake for my sister in laws birthday at the end of the month. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Pingback: "Two Peas in a Pod" Lemon Cupcakes « The Culinary Chronicles
I made the cupcakes today and have to question the use of 3 eggs in this recipe. Although the cupcakes had a decent flavor, the texture was spongy/rubbery which leads me to believe that the third egg isn't necessary in a recipe that yields only 12 cupcakes. Regular cake mixes call for 3 eggs and they produce twice as many. Hmmm.
I was wondering this same thing. I made them tonite, and mine too turned out dense and eggy. I went back and double checked the recipe and questioned the 3 eggs. They are good, just a weird texture. I will add the curd and frosting tomorrow-hopefully this helps.
I feel the same, they felt a bit "spongy". Other than that, they were amazing! You couldn't taste the alcohol of the limoncello at all, which, for me, is a good thing. The filling was zesty, the topping delicious. I will definitely make these again – maybe with one egg less.
I made these for Easter also and they are fantastic. I ended up with more lemon juice than called for in the curd and used it anyway. I won't do that next time, (and I will make them again!) but the tartness melds with the sweetness of the frosting and the cupcake itself and is an awesome combination.
Pingback: JavaCupcake » Limoncello Cupcakes
Pingback: Lemon Limoncello Cupcakes « pane e vino
I finally made these after reading about them for months! I'm not sure if they came out exactly how they were supposed to but I did get rave reviews nonetheless. I was worried about the amount of cupcakes so I doubled the recipe. I was able to make 3 dozen for a double recipe. My cupcakes did not really rise and I only filled them about 3/4 of the way because that's what I thought I should have done but I guess I should have filled them close to the top? Does this happen to you? And do yours come out super dense? And I'm not sure if I really needed the limoncello. I'm not sure what effect it had and I had to spend $15 for a whole bottle…but thankfully, it doesn't go bad. I don't know if it was the fact that I doubled the recipe or what but the recipe took me a long time to make between the zesting, squeezing, sifting, hollowing out the whole, etc…I'm exhausted! OK, I have a newborn, exhausting almost 5 yr old and a full time job so maybe that's it. I'm not sure if I'll ever make them again even though people loved them but if nothing else, I invested in the disposable frosting bags from Wilton (excellent!) and the 1M tip that will now be my go-to tip so I definitely learned from this experience!
Lisa, I'm super impressed that you even tackle baking with a newborn, a 5 year old and a full time job!
May I suggest some things that may help you? You could make the lemon curd one day and refrigerate it. You can zest all the lemon(s) up and squeeze the juice ahead of time…I zest up and juice a whole bunch of lemons (and limes) ahead of time and freeze them in airtight containers. I freeze them in the smallest Rubbermaid containers (or small plastic margarine tubs.) You can make up the frosting ahead and keep it in the fridge. I LOVE these cupcakes SO much that it's worth the effort to me. My cupcakes were pretty dense and didn't rise super high, but I love the texture!
And if you don't have a "Fine" microplane zester, I HIGHLY recommend one, this tool cut my zesting time WAY down! Make sure you get one that says "Fine." My zester even has a plastic guard to help the 'blades' from getting bent. I have one like this – http://www.amazon.com/Microplane-40020-Grater-Zester/dp/B00004S7V8/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1308546588&sr=8-3
Good luck and keep baking!
These were the fist cupcakes I made from your site. I thought they were time consuming too. Mine were dense too and did not rise much, i thought i did something wrong at first. I finished them late at night and figured i would taste test the next morning before taking them to work since they didnt look perfect, but boy did they taste yummy! So many compliments on them. I will definitely make them again!
Thanks for he hints above, and the suggestion on the microzester!
Made these fourth of July weekend and they were so delicious! Nice refreshing lemon flavor. I made the Irish Carbomob cupcakes for St Paddys' and now these. I have become a master of cupcakes thanks to these two recipes! Thank you so much for sharing and I just love this site. Planning on the malted milk whopper cookies this weekend since I, too, had ordered that malted milk powder last time from King Arthurs! GMTA!
I made these for am impromtu picnic. Despite the multiple steps for the cupcake, curd and frosting, I had these ready for transport in 1.5 hours. Everyone said that this was the quinissential summer cupcake. I, of course, copied your garnishing. Everyone was impressed. I worried that the lemon curd was going to be too tart when I tasted it, but once in the cupcake and topped with the frosting, everything was perfectly balanced. Your recipes keep me coming back for more!!

Michigan football coach Brady Hoke jumps to touch the 'Go Blue' banner as his team takes the field Oct. 5, 2013, in Ann Arbor. / Associated Press
The honeymoon�s over for Brady Hoke.
He�s charismatic and engaging. He�s got a pretty successful sales pitch in recruits� living rooms. Hoke�s done well telling the Blue hairs what they�ve desired hearing since his arrival almost three years ago.
But it can�t sit well with the diehard traditionalists that he doesn�t know if his team can be physical enough to hang with Michigan State this weekend in East Lansing.
They admittedly got bullied two years ago in East Lansing.
Their response then was crying to Mommy and Daddy in the Big Ten office, asking them to make �Little Brother� stop treating them so nastily. The conference handed down a suspension and offered a stern warning to the Spartans.
But Hoke doesn�t expect 60 minutes of civility Saturday. He knows Michigan State will try once again to punch his players in the mouth. They�ll occasionally step across that arbitrary line separating maniacal from mayhem. And Hoke also knows there comes a moment when the only response to a bully is out-bullying him.
He just doesn�t know for sure if his team is up to that task if physically challenged.
Or perhaps it�s more accurate saying �when� they�re physically challenged.
Michigan�s football manhood will get tested.
The Wolverines can explode scoreboards with an up-tempo, high-electricity offense predicated on quick strikes over long distances. Employing that strategy might provide their best chance of victory at Spartan Stadium. But it won�t shake the �un-Michigan feel� of a program incapable of exhibiting an unrelenting, dominating will over an especially physical opponent.
Regardless of previous criticisms regarding the Wolverines� game-planning and play-calling, there was never any doubt during the days of Bo, Mo and Lloyd that Michigan wouldn�t back down in a street fight.
Hoke repeatedly used the word �hope� when describing whether or not his team�s prepared for the physicality awaiting them. But when directly asked if there were concerns that there�s more a sense of hope in the coming days than certainty approaching this game, he downplayed it.
�It�s more about the coaches educating them,� Hoke said.
And hoping that the players learn?
Michigan State isn�t that imposing monster. They�re more like the 120-pound bully feasting on the 98-pound weakling, only really impressive within the confines of their relatively unimpressive conference neighborhood.
Senior left tackle Taylor Lewan remembers the pummeling Michigan absorbed two years ago in East Lansing. He and former MSU defensive end William Gholston butted heads frequently that afternoon. Gholston personified what Michigan considered dirty, cheap shot football. They griped to the Big Ten and the conference subsequently suspended Gholston for one game.
Lewan acknowledged Monday that he kept a photo of Gholston on his phone for almost a year after the 2011 game as a constant reminder of what happened.
�If somebody came up to you and hit you right in the face, would you take that personally?� Lewan said regarding the challenge facing the Wolverines. �Yeah, I take it personally.�
Lewan conceded that the Spartans bullied Michigan two years ago. That�s a painful admission for an offensive lineman whose job it is to inflict the punishment.
�We�re not going to get bullied this year,� Lewan proclaimed.
Since when did football become a gentleman�s sport? Whether you like the Wolverines or not, you always knew what their response would be when pushed. They�d push back. When punched, they punched back � applying the brass knuckles when necessary. But rarely has there been this much uncertainty regarding Michigan�s physicality entering Michigan State week.
But this time, nobody can blame Rich Rodriguez.

An Evangel for Poetry
What Light Can Do: Essays on Art, Imagination, and the Natural World
Poets' prose—a category all its own—enlarges our idea of a writer's mind and demonstrates aspects of his character. To a reader knowing only the poetry, there are surprises in Emerson's aphoristic journals, Whitman's fact-filled memoranda of the Civil War, or Thoreau's memories of his dead brother in A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers. Poets' prose can be formal and reticent—Eliot—or intimately painful—Lowell's account of his time in Payne Whitney ("From the Unbalanced Aquarium"). What Light Can Do collects the poet Robert Hass's essays of the last twenty years, in which we hear a disarming voice speaking as if to friends. His prose has an unusually wide range: he has written not only on other poets but also on photographers (Robert Adams, Robert Buelteman, Laura McPhee) and fiction writers (Jack London, Chekhov, Cormac McCarthy, Maxine Hong Kingston).
Hass's first instinct in writing prose is to take on the manner of a born storyteller, transporting us to a well-described setting—biographical, ecological, or personal—and naturalizing us, so to speak, into an imaginative atmosphere. In other hands, an essay called "Wallace Stevens in the World" might not begin: "My nineteenth birthday was also the birthday of one of my college friends." Nor might a piece on the First Epistle of Saint John open with: "In my grade-school classroom in Northern California, there were pictures pinned to the bulletin boards representing the Last Supper." Other essays begin more straightforwardly, but not without a deliberate will to surprise. The intriguing "Chekhov's Anger" invites us in with a blunt and unsettling opening: "In his journals Chekhov notes two reasons why he doesn't like a lawyer of his acquaintance. One is that he is very stupid; the other is that he is a reptile."
Literature is the chief subject of these essays—the poetry of Stevens, the Epistle of John, Chekhov's works—but often we are well into one of Hass's seductive stories before realizing that it is becoming a study of some form of art. Most of the essays, one way or another, concern poetry—American, yes, but also Polish, Nicaraguan, Korean, Slovenian, and Chinese. The poets of protest, including Allen Ginsberg, Robert Dale Scott, Ernesto Cardenal, George Oppen, and Robinson Jeffers, take pride of place: Hass (born in 1941) came of age, after all, in the Sixties. Last year—as he related in a November 19 Op-Ed piece in The New York Times—he was beaten by the Berkeley police for participating in the Occupy Wall Street movement.
Hass's publisher disingenuously refers to What Light Can Do as "a collection of more than thirty new essays." This is not a volume of "new" essays; Hass himself says straightforwardly that it is "a collection of twenty or so years of incidental practice in the form [of the essay]," and adds thanks to "the editors …

Automakers slathered flashy paint and taped racy stripes and stickers to the hoods of the cars, but these 10 just couldn't get'er done at the dragstrip. By Ben Stewart Email Comments 0 Share Back 7 of 10 Next Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Back Next View Thumbnails 19801985 Chevy Citation X-11 GM finally introduced its first downsized front-wheel-drive cars in the 1980 model year with the X-body cars, which included such legends as the Oldsmobile Omega, Buick Skylark, Pontiac Phoenix, and the Chevy Citation. The Citation got the X-11 performance package, which turned out to be more than just an average sticker and spoiler package. It came with an HO 2.8-liter V-6 rated at 135 hp, wider 215/60R14 tires, and a "sport" suspension system. That wasn't too bad for a small car in the early '80s. And to our eye, the X-11s actually looked pretty cool too. The problem was, even though the ideas behind the sporty version of the Citation were okay, the Citation itself was not. The car gained a wide reputation as a poorly built pile of junk needing numerous factory recalls. Perhaps worst of all, Citations had a tendency to lock their rear wheels under hard braking, causing the cars to spin. Yikes.

Meat (with Zippy)( Christopher T. Assaf, Baltimore Sun photo / July 14, 2013 )
Meaty likes to climb into owner Meyli Markward's lap. Which sounds very sweet, except that Meaty's a 120-pound bull mastiff who, despite being small for his breed, probably has no business in a human being's lap.
Three-year-old Meaty comes by his size honestly, says Markward. "His favorite people foods include all genres of cheese, sweet potatoes, peanut butter and whatever he can swipe off the counter with his gigantic paw," she says. "And his appetite doesn't stop there. Over the years, we've lost countless socks, golf gloves, koozies and napkins, among other things, to Meaty's digestive system." He had surgery last year to retrieve a stuffed animal that didn't, shall we say, exit easily. "We have to be extra careful that nothing is around for him to ingest," Markward says. Markward, who acknowledges being obsessed with her giant pup, says Meaty weighed just 12 pounds when she drove to Pennsylvania to pick him up. He is named after the English bulldog on the former MTV show "Rob & Big." He spends his days with Zippy, a much smaller French bulldog. "If Meaty is chewing on a toy or bone," Markward says, "Zippy has to have it. And he lets her, being the gentleman he is." He loves being petted, attacking the sprinkler outside, being brushed, going for car rides, sitting on people, eating and sleeping -- with the last two being his absolute favorites. "This enormous dog will cry -- yes, cry -- until you give him attention," Markward says. "I'm not sure I could love a human child as much as I love my big guy," she says. To have your pet -- including hamsters, snakes, horses, guinea pigs and the like -- considered for Collared, email information to firstname.lastname@example.com. --Kim Fernandez |

Equine Treadmills for the Development, Maintenance, and Rehabilitation of all Horse Breeds!
See Us At These Locations
About HORSE GYM
Whether your interest is in racing, showjumping ,dressage, reining, or you ride for your own pleasure: our products provide our customers expansive opportunities for training and rehabilitation. Our product range includes a series of innovative high-tech treadmills. The walking surface inside and outside of water -adjusts to the horse's movements. The use of an equestrian treadmill for conditioning a horse offers several advantages:
- The variable speed and incline of the treadmill allows the workout to mimic over-ground conditioning. Walking the horse on an incline is a great way of improving stamina and building muscle strength, particularly in the back and hind quarters.
- The combination of adjustable speed and incline, as well as the ability to control the intensity and duration of a session, provides ample variety in a horse's conditioning program allowing it to be tailored to the horse's specific needs.
- The treadmill belt provides a smooth, consistent surface, eliminating injuries from uneven footing. Equine treadmills have proven to be particularly useful for rehabilitation work.
- As they can be contained indoors, requiring remarkably less space than other forms of exercise (such as a horse walker), equine treadmills can be used regardless of the weather.
- Not only is the equine treadmill an effective method of exercise, but also a great means of monitoring the horse during training. With the horse being relatively stationary to an observer, it is possible for the trainer to quickly observe irregularities in gait, for lameness problems to be detected or to evaluate improvements in horses recovering from injuries....
Using computerized technology and quality German engineering and construction, HORSE GYM offers unprecedented opportunities for fitness, diagnostics and rehabilitation. Olympians, Gold Medalist and World Class riders all agree, the HORSE GYM conditioning is critical to their success. Our newest product in the line is the Aquatrainer water treadmill which also has a cold salt water spa option. This treadmill offers the same superior design and quality that HORSE GYM is known for with a large vessel, self cleaning filters and many safety features built in. HORSE GYM also delivers a quantifiable return on your investment by creating new revenue streams and saving time and manpower. 30% of all HORSE GYM treadmills are purchased though our leasing partner making them affordable to all barns. All treadmills come with a 2 year warrantee on parts and labor. Give us a call to find out how you too can have a HORSE GYM of your own.

Is $119 For Obamacare Insurance A Good Deal In Tennessee?
Tennessee's biggest Obamacare critics are trying to squelch any excitement for cheaper-than-expected insurance rates – 16 percent lower than original estimates. And the White House announced this week that the state will have some of the least expensive plans in the country.
The Administration is highlighting what barebones coverage would cost a 27-year-old man. According to the tables – $119 a month on average.
"Why should a 27-year-old male in Memphis be forced to pay nearly three times what he pays today for health insurance?" asks Sen. Lamar Alexander in a press release.
The state's senior Republican senator points to a $41-a-month plan already available in Tennessee, arguing that the federally-run insurance exchange – now known as "The Marketplace" – will represent a cost hike for some.
A spokesperson for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee points out that while a $41 plan is available, it has a $7,500 deductible – which wouldn't meet new Obamacare rules. The plan also lacks mental health coverage, which is now required, and it isn't available to people with pre-existing conditions.
Michele Johnson of the Tennessee Justice Center – which advocated for Obamacare – says Republicans aren't comparing apples to apples.
"They hate this law and they don't want it to work," she says. "If the rates were high there would be a problem. If the rates are low there's a problem. The fact is, if you make this insurance pool one where you have healthy people and sick people, the rates should be lower."
However, it's also unknown exactly what coverage will be offered with Obamacare plans in Tennessee. While the White House has tabulated an average price, the Administration hasn't yet released specifics on what the state's 59 Marketplace plans will cover.

New Orleans is indeed providing a model for community cooperation and "outside the box" thinking that may allow for some real change. New Orleans is facing challenges that most American cities have never had to deal with-- until now. With all of the budget deficits in so many American cities, there are sure to be unprecedented challenges ahead.
NICOLE GELINAS has an excellent essay in the City Journal on what New Orleans can teach America about recovering from a crisis. Before Katrina, New Orleans was a basket case, albeit a charming one, with a corrupt government, an entitlement mentality and a decaying public sector. Today, it is on the road to recovery, not just rebuilding its hurricane-devestated infrastructure, but also recovering a civic spirit that was lost long before the hurricane.
An excerpt from the article, on public schools:
Katrina also washed away much of New Orleans's sorry public school district, where majorities of students consistently failed. Once again, citizens are improving on what they had. The city's biggest education reform is that the majority of its 35,000 public school kids now attend charter schools overseen by a state-run school district. It's too early to tell much from test-score results, but it's clear that the success and optimism of charter school operators—from the national KIPP outfit to local nonprofits—at getting schools up and running has been a big factor in residents' decisions to return home.

All the soaps in my house have alcohol in them. One bottle even has gelatin in it. All hand sanitizers (which I love to collect) have alcohol in them. Is this haram? It's only for outside of the body.
There are various types of gelatin. Every kind of gelatin except for the pork type is allowed. Alcohol, no matter what kind of alcohol it is, is strictly prohibited in Islam. It is considered Haram. Quran, 5:91: "Shaitan (Satan) wants only to excite enmity and hatred between you with intoxicants (alcoholic drinks) and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of Allah and from As-Salat (the prayer). So, will you not then abstain?" |

When he was barely old enough to wield a hoe, Isidore entered the service of John de Vergas, a wealthy landowner from Madrid, and worked faithfully on his estate outside the city for the rest of his life. He married a young woman as simple and upright as himself who also became a saint—Maria de la Cabeza. They had one son, who died as a child.
Isidore had deep religious instincts. He rose early in the morning to go to church and spent many a holiday devoutly visiting the churches of Madrid and surrounding areas. All day long, as he walked behind the plow, he communed with God. His devotion, one might say, became a problem, for his fellow workers sometimes complained that he often showed up late because of lingering in church too long.
He was known for his love of the poor, and there are accounts of Isidore's supplying them miraculously with food. He had a great concern for the proper treatment of animals.
He died May 15, 1130, and was declared a saint in 1622 with Ignatius of Loyola, Francis Xavier, Teresa of Avila and Philip Neri. Together, the group is known in Spain as "the five saints."
