I just got my second vaccine dose today and I already feel crappy. Don't want to bake. So instead, I submit a picture of my dinner from our local British pub, The Mucky Duck. Chicken curry and a scotch egg.

Filing tonight's dinner for consideration

Paprika and saffron salmon over orzo and zucchini salad.


ADDITIONALLY. Since it is a bakeoff... Made a bunch of cookies for a party that I went to Sunday. These are the leftover cookies beyond all the ones everyone ate at the party. And yes. I (and my wife, because it's a lot of work) baked them.

Bakers, you have approximately 9.5 hours remaining!

I have recorded submissions from genny, alissa, sunny, capri, DocE, and, grudgingly, FTF so far. And Cray just posted while I was editing this to chide FTF.

FTF, sneaking storebought goods into The Tent is highly frowned upon.

 

[Crayola227]

Mom and I's "Gugaloff."

It's my Jewish great-grandmother's recipe from pre-WWII Austria, and is German for "good loaf" I believe, or that's our best guess.

It's a dairy-based yeasty breakfast bread with lemon zest and raisins, very dense and flavorful.

For your official consideration I give you “oh **** the cafeteria was going to close and I better eat” meal
Plating done by the lady in the cafeteria I see every night but doesn’t wear a name tag and has headphones in so I never asked.
my own twist is the seasoning salt on the grilled cheese. 10/10.

For tonight, in honor of the amazingly warm and summery day we had, I decided to bake up some delicious miniature pavlovas!

Featuring freshly whipped lemon cream on a crisp yet chewy meringue nest, filled with freshly picked (from the produce aisle) berries! And for those of you chocolate lovers, some miniature decorative accents of dark chocolate.

Spoiler: The freshly picked berries...

Also because I only learned how to bake in the last year because of covid, totally gonna just fish for compliments with a few random creations I’m particularly proud of!

Spoiler: Mastered the macaron

Turns out when the thread is dead, I’m amazingly productive. I went for a run, cooked dinner and baked, and watched the new Godzilla vs. King Kong

Yeahhhhh trust me, it was a process... it took 7 batches of macarons in various levels of failures to finally perfect that! I was getting so mad by the end 😅

It’s so finicky and dumb! One day I had two trays made from the same batch and one totally cracked and the other was perfect and I literally have no idea why unless my oven wasn’t heating evenly?? I baked them one at a time, too! The biggest thing that fixed mine were making sure the macaronage is exactly at the right consistency (I was stopping too soon and not deflating it enough), and then making sure it sits out for a good while to form a really great crust before baking. I also tried slightly different ingredient weights and the preppy kitchen recipe is the one that worked best for me. He’s got a great video that has some fantastic tips too!

 

[vetmedhead]

I don't know how to show the bad attitude I've been baking since birth so here's a lemon poppyseed Bundt cake I made for Easter instead

 

[PippyPony]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Spoiler: Here's my first submission

Made these the other day and have stress-eaten almost the whole tin for breakfasts this week (not kidding). Couldn't even be bothered to take them out of the pan and have been frosting them with a spoon as I go.

Also the knife stays in there for easy access

I would say that it very much represents my signature style

This is the only way to eat brownies. I don't even frost them

 

[PippyPony]

This is the only way to eat brownies. I don't even frost them

My grandmother always used to frost them with chocolate frosting and then put the whole pan in the fridge, so it makes me think of her. But this week I'm just circumventing a step by keeping the frosting jar in the fridge next to the brownies. Desperate times.

"Bakers, your time is up!*" Sue announced. The contestants looked up from their benches with a mixture of surprise, delight, or horror. Some of them gazed at their smuggled baked goods that they'd hidden under their aprons on their way into the tent, hoping to bamboozle Paul and Mary into giving them the star baker title.

It was going to be a long and difficult judging period, with such a wide variety of bakes (from fake bakes to seemingly professional chefs). Mel and Sue reminded the contestants to be patient while they waited for Paul and Mary to make their way to their bench. After all, up next was the technical, and few look forward to that challenge.

WRITE UP PENDING.

At the end of my internship this past summer, the place I was at had a going away party and one of the people I worked a lot with made this super delicious and cute chocolate cake
