And second for today is the neglected Buttermilk Pie. This was delicious. Tangy and just sweet enough. Dishes like this are what make me sad to think about the homogenization of American foods. Regional cooking and baking used to be deeply tied to what a region produced, directly tied to climate, soil, and the peoples who made a home there. Even after modernization and grocery stores, food was still connected to regional companies which catered to regional taste. Now… Now I have to go a specialty producer for quality cornmeal.

Year of Pie · Buttermilk PieUnderappreciated desperation pie, nothing fancy, but it should be a respected classic.

#biscotti making was (mostly) successful! The dough spread during the first #bake and ended up fairly flat. I rested it for 10 minutes then used a serrated knife to slice it on an angle before the second bake.
Still tastes great (rosemary, fennel, orange lemon, pistachios), even if it is a bit narrow. 😆

Here's a new #introduction for my #newinstance

I'm Pat, a 60-something guy in the suburbs of #Chicago, #USA. I'm #Catholic, love #boxing (and box for exercise myself). I'm a #foodie and love to #cook, #bake, and make #bbq for my friends and family. I'm also a bit of a nerd, and you can find me here on #Mastodon, instead of all the corporately-entangled social media.

"What should I write about for ?"
"I dunno. What's the prompt?"
"."
"Hmm. Maybe something about the Butter Angels. Maybe they're trying to make *castella*…"
"That's a thought. But I'd have to look up the *castella* recipe again. And what would be the hook?"
"Good point. Any other ideas?"
"I could write a Mary story. Someone could say she's a *bakemono*."
"Who would say that?"
"I dunno. Maybe I should just punt."
"Sounds like a plan. Maybe just write some pointless dialog."
"Done!"
