Tuesdays With Dorie - All Purpose Cheesecake

Posted by Mike Spoodles on December 30th, 2008 filed in food

Is this what the cheesecake is called?  I don’t know.  I can’t remember.  I don’t currently have the Internet.  I am posting this from a coconut shell.
ALTERNATE TITLE:  Cheesecake?  Oh, PLEASEcake!
I have not tasted this, and it’ll have to wait until New Year’s Eve’nin.  If the batter is any indicator, it’s better than any batter [...]

Moving Right Along

Posted by Mike Spoodles on December 29th, 2008 filed in food

Muppety.
I’ve officially moved out of my parents’ house. Now Rachel and I have an apartment, and it’s a lot bigger and nicer than I had expected. Of course, my college apartment was a bit of a trash heap, so it wouldn’t take much to impress me.
I’m currently in the process of assembling furniture. [...]

Tuesdays With Dorie - Butterscotch Pudding

Posted by Mike Spoodles on December 22nd, 2008 filed in food

I don’t mean to be a hooligan, but I have to say it:  screw Dorie’s chocolate pudding, screw Dorie’s creme brulee, and screw Dorie’s rice pudding.  This is bar-none the best pudding I’ve ever tasted, and probably the easiest I’ve ever made.  Sure, I still have a damn leaky food processor, and I don’t know [...]

Tuesdays With Dorie - Buttery Jam Cookies

Posted by Mike Spoodles on December 15th, 2008 filed in food

These cookies came together very quickly, and I got to Hulu some “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia” in the meantime.  I used strawberry jam, because that was what was in my mom’s fridge.  Dorie recommends eating these cookies with tea.  For those of us too hardcore to drink tea, these cookies will go well with [...]

Tuesdays With Dorie - Sugar Cookies

Posted by Mike Spoodles on December 9th, 2008 filed in food

This is my favorite Dorie recipe yet.  It’s easy, it’s tasty, and it’s fairly mess-free.
Welp, that’s all for this week.  I accidentally spent all of Monday night watching It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia.

Thursdays With Dorie - Holy Linzer Sables, Batman!

Posted by Mike Spoodles on December 4th, 2008 filed in food

Pardon my lateness.  Look at these cookies.  They are in the shape of little Batarangs!  I was so excited to see that this week’s recipe used cookie cutters, because the Batman cutter is a classic.
I ended up using walnuts for the dough, and the filling is sugar-free strawberry preserves.  I was thinking about busting out [...]

Crazy Larry’s Photo Fun Post

Posted by Mike Spoodles on December 4th, 2008 filed in food

So what is new?  Well, for starters, Rachel and I are moving in together on December 27.  I have a bunch of newer Wii games, and I’m really rediscovering my love for video games.  I’ve been watching Looney Tunes on DVD because I am a toddler.  I got six Jean Claude Van Damme movies at [...]

Posted by Mike Spoodles on December 2nd, 2008 filed in food

My mom’s birthday was last night, so I’m taking a mulligan. I’ll still be baking this week’s cookies, but it’ll have to be Thursdays With Dorie for ol’ Mike this week.
