Lemon Tartlet And The Dust Bunnies

A tartlet’s adventures in the kitchen, dodging an overenthusiastic kitten, an overly tall man who thinks he’s funny, and the ever present dust bunnies. Somehow, the food gets cooked.

The Not Only Breakfast Club : Nerd Food

Posted by lemontartlet on March 30, 2008

Each of us is a baker, a chef, a… Sorry about that. This is to officially announce my attempt to start a food attempt, which if I’m lucky a handful of friends will humour me enough to try! It started because Nikki and me were having a perfectly normal conversation about whether or not Dulce De Leche is a nerdy food or not (it is, it gets picked last for dodgeball and uses an inhaler). That led to whether or not food can be nerdy, which made me make this event. Y’all with me so far? A want to try to figure out nerd food gave me the idea to start a clique based food challenge. Jocks, nerds, preps…

All y’all need to do is come up with a food that’s nerdy. It doesn’t matter why, whatever reason you can use to call it nerdy or nerd related works! Pizza and bawls is LAN party nerdy, a dish made by mathematical formula is nerdy. Whatever y’all want to do, make it and let me know about it by sending me an email at lemontartlet(at)yahoo(dot)com so I can read your entry and include it in the round up. The date for entries to be entered is April 19th. There ain’t any prizes because I’ve never been good at chosing one dish over the other, it’s a little fun is all.

If y’all have fun, let me know and next month a new clique can be chosen! Any suggestions for cliques is nice.

DB : The Small Party

Posted by lemontartlet on March 30, 2008

Yawn.

 It’s a cake. A party cake. A very simple recipe that anybody can whip up while trying to get a dinner together. If you have a KA, it’s even easier.

The cake is lemon flavoured, and there’s no frosting at all. It was lemon pastry cream, because I’d made pastry cream on a whim and I wanted to use it. Making buttercream frosting sounded like too much butter for not enough pleasure.

The cake was very tasty, don’t get me wrong. As a challenge, it was very boring. The pastry cream was the only part that I ain’t that good at yet, it was a little bit lumpy after sitting around. Especially easy in comparison to baking with Easter Candy (we won’t even talk about how much CH kicked my butt this month, now there’s a challenge!) What to do when a cake ain’t making you do a dance? Put pink sprinkles on it.
