Only the cakes warranted pictures this week. They look pretty good! To zoom in, click on the collage and it'll open a big one in a new tab or something like that.
1. Triple Layer Lemon Cake - pretty good, light and tender. was assembled with lemon curd between the layers, and then frosted with #3. was much celebrated!
2. Lemon Curd - tastes like a liquidy version of the tops of lemon bars. i wish i had made more of this. it may have been the best part of the cake
3. Creamy White Frosting with Lemon - this tastes more like butter than lemon... so i liked it.
4. French Omlet - maybe the fluffiest omlet i've ever eaten. i had a cheese omlet
5. Pan-fried Fish - wasted oil, i don't like that. was very tasty.
6. One Pot Spaghetti - delicious + easy clean up
7. Rice Pilaf - you brown the rice with oil before you cook it which makes it taste different, it's cool, i'd eat this again
8. Yellow cake - cupcakes - fun to make, very basic cake that is a little chewy... but not all the right tools were used. I wonder how it would have been in a fully equipped kitchen.
9. Butter frosting - not very sweet, we made the chocolate variety on the cupcakes
10. Hot Milk Sponge Cake - pac man cake above - was originally a circular cake, but used the leftover lemon icing after my family had already eaten a couple slices. Very basic. I prefer the original sponge cake recipe - it doesn't require baking powder (NaHCO3), which is better for people on low sodium diets, but if your kidneys are young stallions like mine (AKA you are not a granny), this one might be easier to make, and tastes just about the same.
11. Oven fried fish from last week - used salmon, this was ok, very healthful, would eat again, but wasn't as crispy and rich as the pan fried version. no oil was used, this is a fast and healthy way to prepare fish in <10 milk=""> flour => bread crumb mix => milk=> bread crumb mix).
