I have pretty much spent most of my life avoiding anything to do with baking. I think it is the heat factor. I just don't do the heat well, and why oh why would anyone want too heat up their kitchen when it is already 85* in there????
But tonite, ahhhhhhh, the apricots someone brought in to work to day just were jumping up and down insisting that I put them into a cobbler. They were so pretty in their natural state, but goo'd up with some SPLENDA and cornstarch, they are even prettier. But you will have to wait until tomorrow for the feedback on this recipe (which I modified for apricots only). Except for the cinnamon that I went heavey on it really does look good. And it smells good too. Like a french parfume.
This weekend I tried the Splenda recipe for chocolate chip cookies. Not so good. 100 calories each. Gooey....too much....stuck together....only the chocolate chips tasted...mmmmm.....real.
But the kicker is...I went to Costco and bought us a blender. Uh Huh. The smoothies are taking over. Haven't had time to open it up yet. Guess I should and run it through the dishwasher tonite. I don't want to go back into the kitchen tonite [yes, I am whining]
I wonder if I can taste-test the cobbler wi/o leaving a mark. Hmmmmmm....
later taterz
