Orange Chiffon Cake with Orange Filling and Meringue This recipe is dedicated to a special couple that I wish I could meet. I had a reader named Allee send me this e-mail last week (and I just couldn’t resist making it so I had to fit it into my schedule). And with her permission I share a portion of her e-mail: “I visit an elderly couple who are living in a nursing home here in Stillwater, OK at least once a week. While she was telling me about this cake, I immediately knew I wanted to bake it for Bethel and Evan to deliver it to them on Valentine’s Day as a little piece of nostalgia :) I have searched for recipes online and can’t seem to find what I’m looking for. So, how could I say no :)? This elegant cake is simply divine. And congratulations Bethel and Evan to both a long, prosperous life and marriage! Orange Chiffon Cake with Orange Filling and Meringue Ingredients Orange Filling Cake Meringue 6 egg whites 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar 1/4 tsp cream of tartar Directions I’m posting way too many pictures I know. I just love meringue.
Toshiba Launches Hero Animation "Double Circle" Describes the Smart Community｜株式会社東芝のニュースリリース TOKYO — Toshiba Corporation (Tokyo: 6502) today announced the launch of "Double Circle," a series of on-line animated short movies set in Kawasaki, Japan, that will entertain and delight anime fans while introducing the smart community that Toshiba pictures for downtown Kawasaki. A dedicated website and the official social media accounts open today, and animation streaming will start at the end of November. Double Circle encompasses two concepts: infinitely-evolving energy; and a comfortable city realized with the information and communication technology (ICT) of the smart community business. Each film in the series will see citizens of Kawasaki transformed into heroes who battle and overcome the enemy; the evolving smart community and renewable energy versus a world where time stand still / a world where is without color. Toshiba will open its new Smart Community Center on the west side of Japan Railway's Kawasaki Station on October 31. Facebook
Gingerbread Apple Pie It happens a few times each year. I go into pie mode. My rolling pin spends nearly as much time covered in flour on the kitchen counter as it does tucked away in the kitchen gadget drawer (you know the one) waiting for me to heft it out again. After spending an afternoon making pies at my community centre for an event this week, I could feel myself enter full-on pie mode and I was craving a pie project at home that would result in something a little out of the ordinary. Ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves were thrown into the dry pastry ingredients and I reached for the molasses instead of my usual egg in the pastry dough. Sometimes kitchen experiments don't turn out as I had imagined. Here's how I made it: 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tbsp granulated white sugar 1/2 tsp salt 1 1/2 tsp ground ginger 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg 1/4 tsp ground cloves 1/2 cup vegetable shortening 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed 1/4 cup cooking molasses 1 tbsp white vinegar 1 tsp cinnamon
Cable Car Remnants | Forgotten Chicago | History, Architecture, and Infrastructure In 1882, Chicago took a daring step in transit, as it had done previously in countless other fields including public works, meat processing, interstate transportation, futures trading, water management and building construction. At a time when myriad transit schemes and dreams were being tested around the country, especially locally, Chicago became the first city to try San Francisco’s style of cable cars. The City by the Bay had started experimenting with cable cars in 1873 and found them an effective albeit expensive solution to carrying modest numbers of passengers up steep hills in a moderate climate. Inaugurated on a cold, blustery day in January 1882, Chicago City Railway (CCR)’s first cable car line ran on State Street from Madison Street to 21st Street. Nevertheless, the inaugural run went well and the technology appeared to be well suited to Chicago—crowds, cold weather and all.

Mini PB Banana & Chocolate Pancakes So this is very exciting... I made my own recipe! My first recipe! Mini PB banana & chocolate pancakes, for one. YUM. Of course, it being my first self-conceived recipe means that along the way, there were some fails. (By the way, I've decided to self-impose a moratorium on vegan recipes, since I clearly don't know the first thing about veganism. These pancakes are not vegan, but they are fairly healthy! As I mentioned, the first batch (see above) wasn't exactly perfect. Still, top them with (local) pear butter and maple syrup, and they taste pretty good! However, being the perfectionist that I am, by lunchtime I felt that I had to try again. TADA! Maybe I should subtitle this post "Lessons in Perseverance." Anyway, here's the recipe! INGREDIENTS 3 1/2 Tbsp flour 1 Tbsp cocoa powder * 1/4 tsp baking powder 1 egg 1 Tbsp peanut butter 1 Tbsp milk 1/2 banana ***I used dark chocolate cocoa powder **use rest for toppings In another bowl, mix together the egg and peanut butter. Enjoy!

Besides that, as you most probably will notice, I didn't indicate all the recordings these acts might have behind 'em; and the reason is quite simple - I don't have complete info, consequently your help will be much appreciated (in order to enlarge this record). Lastly, please note that the list you’re now going to scroll through, also includes BM bands coming from Belarus and Ukraine.

Ricotta Pancakes with Blueberries Over the last several weeks, Sarah and I have taken turns going on vacation. I visited the very lovely and blissfully cool and cloudy Oregon coast, while Sarah has been blazing through various Midwestern states. This has been great in many ways, but not so great for our blog which has been sadly neglected. We aim to post with greater frequency very soon! In the meantime, we offer up one of our new favorite breakfast treats. These are light and ethereal pancakes, and the ricotta makes them surprisingly moist. I tend to shy away from recipes that involve beating egg whites, but really it only takes an extra few minutes.
