Lemon Pie "Delicious"(Mom M Recipe #8)

Finally, I made a recipe from the box that someone actually remembered Mom making before.    Mom would be what I called my grandmother  not to be confused with my Mom.  I don't know why but it was never confusing as to who I was referring to when I said it to me or to Mom and Mom.  So this recipe is for lemon pie though the recipe for the pie crust and for the meringue was not actually included on the card so I had to do those on my own.
                                                               



The lemon custard was very sweet and did not set up like my grandmothers did.   I would probably adjust the recipe if I made it again.   My mother (Mom) did though confirm that the taste was the same.    It was very lemony and had good color to the lemon custard.    





I generally do not lean towards making pie because pie crust can be so "flaky" to make and not always flaky to taste.   But this time it worked out well and I remembered to roll it between two pieces of wax paper.  I often forget to do this and it makes it so much easier that I don't know why I don't remember to do it all the time.   I think I expect every time that I will channel my inner french pastry chef and voila it will just roll it out perfectly with nothing other than my french pin and little flour.     

Make sure to note the added "delicious" comment from my Mom (Grandma)  
"It was pretty good if I don't say so myself"

Sizzlers (Mom M and Papa Recipe #3 )

I am absolutely positive that these will not taste exactly the same even though I am using the recipe written out in my grandmother's hand.          They will not taste the same because my Papa did not get the little sizzler steaks from the Publix butcher where he worked after my grandparent's retired to Florida.  They will not taste the same because I am not making them on my grandparent's little gas grill.   They will not taste the same because I never found out what "lemon juice (?)" means. They will not taste the same because my grandmother did not make them and my grandfather did not grill them.  They will not taste the same because I can only hear in my mind, my grandmother saying "Well, these turned out pretty good".     And mostly they will not taste the same because I am not eating them at the table with my "Mom and Papa".     But I will have the memories. ...

The Tale of Two Ciabattas (British Baking Show - Bake #3)

The simple   Paul Hollywood Ciabatta Recipe .  How simple is it?  The ingredients are few and the technique seems simple but there is also a bit of practice makes perfect needed here. So far I have made two tries at it.   The flavor was good in both but I made a crucial error on the 1st try so it was a bit dense.  I should have paid attention tot the kind of yeast - Instant Yeast means Fast Acting Yeast and I just breezed right past that distinction the 1st time.   I have some pics of both tries below. They both mixed up very well and formed a lovely dough ball. Gluten is really amazing to watch form. Try 1   Try 2 Try 2 The problem was in the rise - see difference in size of dough before and after proofing               Try 1 Before Try 1 After               Try 2 Before Try 2 After The shaping of the dough is a little ...
