Raspberry And Vanilla Dobos Torte With The Daring Bakers
2009-08-27 06:28:00 I realized as I was starting to write down the recipe for this post that it was actually my 550th post. Wow...That made me a little proud and left me slightly amazed at the same time! I think I even said "oh la vache!" (holy cow!). That's a whole lot of stories, words, laughs, tears and just as much sugar, butter, flour and eggs! What could be more fitting to celebrate post #550 than a Daring Bakers Challenge? A very sweet and very rich one: a Dobos Torte.I wrote last time that I hadn't had an ounce of craving for chocolate lately and when I set out to make this challenge, things turned out just about the same. I looked at the recipe and could not chase the images of sweet sugared berries floating in my head. Or was it sugar made saber equipped raspberries fighting off little chocolate critters? Hmmmm...Still, not an ounce of chocolate was calling my name yet. Too hot, too humid and a fridge full of raspberries thanks to my mother - in - law who always buys for 8 when there are ju...

For My Birthday Girls: A Raspberry Rose Vanilla Cream Cake
2009-08-14 06:23:00 Two people I love are having a birthday this week and as much as I wanted to make something special for each of them, work decided to get in the way big time. Not complaining, just saying, and that's why I am so late updating this week. Thus, I find myself asking them to share this Raspberry Rose Vanilla Cream Cake. I know they won't mind because they already share so much. One is my wonderful mother and the other one is my (now) three year-old beautiful niece. Joyeux Anniversaire les filles!It bugs me to say that I don't see enough of my niece but a trip to France has not been quite feasible in the past couple of years. I do get to hear a lot about her and her personality through my mom's reports and pictures my brother sends me. Her sister is just like me and she seems to be more like her dad. Oy! If they keep the ressemblance going, teenage years are going to suck for him big time because we were anything but pleasant to each other!!While I did make a batch of saffron macaron...

Tuesdays with Dorie: Honey-Vanilla Ice Cream
2009-07-28 23:02:00 This week's recipe on page 428-429 from Baking: From my home to yours: Vanilla Ice Cream has been chosen by Lynne of Cafe LynnyLuI've already made a custard based vanilla ice cream, so I played around and prepared the Honey-Vanilla Ice Cream. To prevent ice crystals I added 1 teaspoon guar flour to the ice cream. I am very delighted with the result, neither with starch nor pectin I got such a creamy ice cream. For the recipe visit Lynne of Cafe LynnyLu and enjoy more Vanilla Ice Creams visiting the blogroll at the Tuesday's With Dorie website.

Vanilla Tapioca And Milk Chocolate Lime Cremeux
2009-06-16 07:41:00 Thank you for all the good vibes you sent throughout the weekend, they were truly uplifting. You can trust that they are already bottled up and ready to be used for the next phase of whatever this is we are in. One sure thing for B. and myself right now is that our marriage is stronger than ever, our couple and friendship thicker than glue. If a dessert could define it in a nutshell, it could well be these verrines of Vanilla Tapioca and Milk Chocolate Lime Cremeux.Can I be annoyingly tacky by saying that our relationship is as comforting as vanilla tapioca pudding? Will you believe if I added that it has this sexy layer of milk chocolate cremeux to it? And that we still find a way to add a little spice and humor to life like adding lime to chocolate? I can, I am and I stand by the comparison. It certainly got B. to say outloud "These are so good! Will you marry me? Again?"I did smile at that one because at that precise moment I was reading a very interesting email and knew he'd gi...

Powdered Strawberry And Vanilla Bean Macarons
2009-05-01 07:57:00 I think I have quite possibly turned this site into an ode to strawberries just by looking at my latest posts. Hmmm...Hope you'll still tune in for one more next week and then I might tempt you with the lovely wild blackberries I see appearing on the edges of the yard. Gosh I love Spring! It would be a shame not to take advantage of what is at my fingertips and right now the fridge is about to burst with local strawberries and lemons.It seems like I have a magic fridge these days. Just when I think I am reaching the bottom of the bowl of strawberries there is another one appearing from the other side. I did find out from B. that his mom dropped off some, as did a neighbor because "{I} would know what to do with them." I did ponder that thought while I was slicing strawberries for a tart. What to do with all these ugly little end pieces that I was not going to use? That's when the idea of dried strawberries popped into my head again and how to incorporate that into another dessert,...

Mango & Vanilla Bean Buttermilk Panna Cottas
2009-03-31 06:57:00 Interesting how even past 30 years old I still want mommy when I spike a fever and walk around with a box of tissues. Wondering why I never catch a 24 hour bug or never lose my appetite when sick. Sad to see my parents leave after such good times. Amusing to see the dogs go back and forth between both bedrooms looking for them. Funny how little mishaps can turn into creamy deliciousness like these Mango And Vanilla Bean Buttermilk Panna Cottas.The morning of my parents' departure, my father and I were up before anyone else as usual. We were reminiscing about the last few weeks spent together. We like to talk food while preparing meals. Surprise, surprise! When we were kids, my father taught us how to crack and juice a coconut, introduced us to the wonders of papaya simply sprinkled with lime juice, cooked the most fabulous Osso Bucco or rice pilaf. I guess he will be my other guest blogger when they come back!This past Sunday morning, the conversation fell on the wonderful meal my ...

Violet Macarons With Violet And Vanilla Bean Buttercream
2009-03-20 06:10:00 I know, in my last post I asked you what my mom should make as an upcoming guest blogger, ratatouille or apple tart and here I am giving you macarons! Remember discombobulated? We did make the ratatouille, styled it, photographed it and ate it but it will have to wait for next post. Still trying to find time for the tart. There is actual logic behind posting these delicious, Spring colored macarons filled with violet and vanilla bean buttercream and topped with crushed violet pearl sugar.Today is the official first day of Spring. Yeah! Aren't you just loving this lighter feeling in the air? Blooms are everywhere to be seen and I keep bokmarking a ton on my Flickr favorites. I am addicted! People seem to slowly shred their winter attitude. Smiles and random acts of kindness are more frequent. I am trying to savor each day this Spring. It won't be long before we melt under the scorching heat and humidity as Summer seems to start way too soon around our parts.It is also Macaron Day i...

Meyer Lemon Curd and Chamomille Vanilla Mousse Verrines
2009-03-16 05:11:00 Discombobulated...New favorite word. It's always a bit of a struggle getting things organized with long term guests but there has been a lot of good work getting done. A lot of good meals and good times too. My parents are happily relaxing, talking walks in town, going to the beach, reading,.. with no particular agenda or schedule. Even the pupps are learning "discombulated". There is no telling who is going to walk them, feed them, play with them. All they know is that there are 4 more hands to pet them. Bliss...Even here it is bit "sans queue ni tete", posting the raspberry mousse tarts with pink macarons before posting about the macarons first. Indeed, a couple days after my parents arrived I made a small batch of pink macarons to go along with a verrine of Meyer lemon curd and chamomille - vanilla bean mousse. Then with the leftover macarons, I made the tarts. I think the mud cake cookie sandwiches were in their right place though. Imagine that!! See...discombobulated again.Wi...

Vanilla Cupcakes
2009-03-05 09:23:00 I am soooo glad i read Sass's blog post about her current addictions yesterday! One of them was Yankee Candle's vanilla cupcake candle that she keeps burning the whole day long. I adore the smell of cupcakes and i have never heard of these candles before so i googled it and found the site and wanted to buy one but of course shipping was a bit on the expensive side...I told myself i must remember to go get some or other scented candle with vanilla when i go to the shops again and didn't think much of it again.So while browsing around our local (tiny never has anything) supermarket last night guess what! I find Yankee candle's, vanilla cupcake! I could seriously not believe my luck! Its not the actual candle one though but the potpourri tart ones which is fine because they smell divine!I dont have one of those scent holder thingies so i just opened them up and put them around the apartment and i was amazed to find the whole place smelling of cupcakes this morning!

White Chocolate, Vanilla Bean Cardamom Mousse and Raspberry Layers
2009-03-03 07:10:00 Hugging my mom, joking with my dad. This is pretty much all I have done in the past 24 hours. It had been a year since I last put my arms around maman and two(!) since I was able to share some fun tidbits with papa. It had never been that long but such has been life on both sides of the ocean, with timing, responsibilities, projects and happenings that we have been this long apart since I moved here. After a long delayed connecting flight and one suitcase missing, I was finally able to kiss them profusedly and start planning some fun things to do in between work and more work while they are here.Once home, we sat down to a simple meal of quiche and salad and talked for almost three hours at the dinner table. Things don't change. Time slows down a bit when they are here and I am perfectly fine with that. Today felt like a Sunday and I have no doubt that tomorrow will feel like a Saturday...When they visit, I still cook as I would for B. and myself and try to give my mom a real vacat...

Strawberry & Vanilla Floating Islands
2009-02-02 07:05:00 It had been a while since I had the night off to bake something just for us. No book recipe to test, no challenge, no order or request. Just for us. In moments like this I tend to gravitate towards childhood memories and desserts I learned to make with my mother and grandmother. Simple desserts made so often that I bake them from memories with only the guidelines they used to whisper as I was standing on the little step stool next to the kitchen counter. It always amazes me how clearly I can still hear my grandmother's voice every time I make Floating Islands for example.Many years after her passing, Mamie Paulette is still here as I separate the eggs and mix them with sugar to make those lovely clouds of meringues. Everytime I cut through a vanilla bean I respectfully scrape every bean to the last one "pour ne pas gaspiller" (not to waste) and put the pods in small jars of sugar to flavor it. Whenever we would make creme brulees, we would have floating islands or "iles flottantes"...

Chocolate Chesnut Vanilla Yule Log or Raspberry Vanilla Meyer Lemon?
2008-12-28 08:11:00 Now say that twelve times real fast after after one too many glasses of Champagne!! These Yule Logs are the desserts I served the family on Christmas dinner and between the 12 of us there were barely enough left for a midnight snack! I did not intend to double the work and make two "just" for fun but between the ubber chocolate fans and the "I ate too much but I still want dessert" peeps, and for my sake of a stress free meal where everybody was happy, I knew that making two was a necessity. Interesting how I belong to both groups...Let's face it, it's dessert, it's mousse, it's chocolate and it was delicious!It was also the dessert chosen by the adventurous Hilda from Saffron and Blueberry and Marion from Il en Faut Peu Pour Etre Heureux for the December Daring Bakers' Challenge: a French Yule Log by Flore from Florilege Gourmand.

Saffron And Vanilla Poached Pears
2008-09-18 06:56:00 It has been really hot and muggy in the last week or so, nothing unusual in our area but we all took it as the usual sign of upcoming rain and thunderstorms. I don't mind hot and I don't mind rain, I actually don't mind hot rain...I dislike the few hours before the sky falls open. The dogs seem to pair up and want out every thirty minutes although they just stand there noses up to the air.Three days a week I work almost completely from home so they "know" that they will be taken out, played with, petted and loved all this in between cracking a few many eggs and rolling out pastry dough. I get up early and start baking or writing depending on what has not been done the day before and they lie around, right outside the kitchen. When the smell of the coffee brewing reaches their snouts, they suddenly jolt up and want out. Out of the five households in our little custer around the curve, 3 of us work from home while looking over kids or animals. It is not unusual for us to be in our ...

2008-07-09 05:02:00 Usually, when I get up first in the morning, I turn the coffee machine on, put a couple of pieces of bread in the toaster and hop right back into bed. Takes us an extra 10-15 minutes before we are fully awake during which we might tell a joke, talk about our schedules, etc....normal. Except the other day... B. opened up one eye and sleepily said "what the heck is that noise? What is wrong with this coffee maker?". I had to fess up "That's not the coffee, that's the ice cream maker!". He had this look, a perfect mix of fear that I had blown a fuse this early in the morning and of giddy happiness that he might have ice cream for breakfast. "At 6 o'clock in the morning? What got into you?!!""Nothing! That's work!". He straighten out on the bed and gave me a huge smile "Oh! Then I love it when you go to work!"... Add the dog to the mix who does not miss an opportunity to lick whatever edible falls on his snout and you have a pretty good morning. Don't be fooled though, I usually hi...

Yuri Light Novel: Vanilla, A Sweet Partner
2008-07-04 03:04:00 You may have gotten the mistaken impression from reading these reviews, that I enjoy making a complete fool of myself in public, by laughing out loud and snorting in amusement while on public transportation, airplanes, waiting rooms, etc. This is not true - it's just that, given the average quality of what I read and watch, I can't help myself.Which brings us to today's review of a high quality lesbian schoolgirl killers Light Novel, Vanilla, A Sweet Partner, by Asaura. And special thanks to Anastasia Moreno for pointing me in the general direction of this work of "literature!" lol Vanilla follows the lives of the totally deranged schoolgirls Kei and Nao and their guns. And the guns of everyone around them. And random gun information, because, you know - guns! Yes, the author is a gun otaku and since I am not particularly enamored of guns in my native tongue, other than the fact that Kei used a Beretta 90 TWO and Nao a Takami rifle, I can't tell you a single thing about any of t...

2008-06-06 19:53:00 This is a wonderful method of creating an affordable, sensuous vanilla room spray. This recipe calls for making your own vanilla extract. You can use your homemade extract in food recipes as well!Materials:Vanilla Extract (or Vanilla Essential Oil)8 oz. clean, dark glass bottle and cap7-8 ounces of vodka (inexpensive varieties do work well)2-3 fresh, high-quality 6" vanilla beans.

Coconut Cookies with Vanilla Icing

Starting with the simpler of the two, I opted for Coconut Cookies, which are similar to the macaroons, except that they are a lot more easier to make! Just to add some glamour, I decided to add a simple vanilla icing on the top. The cookies came out great; and with the perfect balance of sweetness and taste of coconut, these cookies did not survive in... Please Click the Title for the Full Post

Master Baker: A Vanilla Trio
2008-05-16 23:07:00 To say that I love vanilla is a bit of an understatement, but I really, really, really do love vanilla. I use it in everything from baked goods to vinaigrettes, I've feasted on grilled lobster served with vanilla oil, drank cocktails mixed with homemade vanilla vodka, and even worn vanilla oil as perfume. My love for vanilla was most certainly influenced by my mother, who always used pure Mexican vanilla extract and whole vanilla beans when I was growing up. Once accustomed to the complexity in flavor and aroma of real vanilla, artificial vanilla flavoring just won't do.

Vanilla Versus Vanilla
2008-05-07 05:39:00 [That's our little Vanilla, in the middle] So, I heard somewhere that it’s hockey season now. Oh, don’t look so surprised: despite having been raised in Montreal (a hockey town if ever there was one), I am indifferent to the sticks-and-pucks revelry. Personally, I’d rather read about the latest face-off between, say, brownies and blondies than between the Habs and the Flyers. In fact, I can’t say that I’m too interested in any team sports–or, come to think of it, any sports at all. Is it any wonder? Perpetually the “anchor” in tug-of-war; too uncoordinated to hit a baseball with a screen door; lacking even the modicum of balance necessary for hockey (though I did go skating, once, when I was about 15, soley to impress a guy I had a crush on. Oh, I made a lasting impression, all right–somewhere on the upper right thigh, just where my skate sliced through the flesh, if memory serves.) This is not to imply that I don’t ...
Vanilla Ice?s Wife Says It Never Happened
2008-05-01 15:04:00 I hate domestic violence. I think I have myself clear on that point. One of the things I hate the most is when a victim can recant her story and then no charges are filed. I think each state should allow prosecutors the ability to file charges against a suspect even if the victim decides ...

Vanilla Cupcakes and Chocolate Chunk Cookie Cupcakes
2008-04-27 20:25:00 My sister and her fiancé, Adam, moved to Boston this weekend and since they have never had the pleasure of indulging in my cupcakes, I made some to take to my family's house for dinner on Friday evening.I made my traditional vanilla cupcakes, and I also made a chocolate chunk (chip) cookie cupcake. Though we had a huge dinner cooked by my parents (Chilean sea bass and whipped sweet potatoes), we still managed to eat the cupcakes for dessert!The vanilla cupcakes come from a Magnolia recipe that I adjusted a bit. If you follow the recipe exactly, they really don't taste anything like Magnolia cupcakes, but it is a good start.I'm a big fan of self-rising flour, but if you don't have any and the recipe you're using calls for it, make sure you add some baking powder and a little bit of salt. I add A LOT more vanilla than the recipe calls for. I don't really measure it; I just keep adding it and tasting it (oops) until it tastes perfect to me. The vanilla extract you buy at the sto...
