The COOKIEPEDIA by Stacy Adimando
Hello friends. This is a post about The Cookiepedia by Stacy Adimando. Some nice publishing-type people sent me a copy of this new cookbook to look over, and it’s pretty neat. In typical Ugly Dude fashion, I spent a lot of time with this book. Some of that time was spent looking at it. A [...]
Tuesdays With Dorie – Salt and Pepper Shortbreads
Hello, These were pretty good. I couldn’t taste the pepper in these specifically, but I could definitely taste that there was something going on here. Not my favorite recipe, but tasty nonetheless. I’m curious to see what my workmates have to say about all this. These look kind of bad, just like everything I do.

SPORTS SPORTS SPORTS SPORTS SPORTS SPORTS SPORTS SPORTS SPORTS! Mike gets to eat a cupcake because he’s a good guy at sports. Okay, so I know nothing about sports. These cupcakes are my interpretation of sportsballs when I have neither photo reference nor appropriate icing tips. This is for a sports party in honor of [...]
Tuesdays With Dorie – Classic Brownies
Not much to say here. These turned out great. Classic. Brownies.
Tuesdays With Dorie – Chocolate Spice Quickies
Dorie indicates that these cookies can be baked in very little time, save for the 4 hour chill time. I’m here to inform you that this is not accurate. Here is the actual timeline. 1. Process ingredients together in food processor 2. Roll dough into logs 3. Chill 4. Discover remaining dough in food processor [...]
Tuesdays With Dorie – Cornmeal and Fruit Loaf
I baked this. It’s good. I could leave it at that but here are a few side notes. 1) This is a crumbly bread. 2) I used fresh diced apple, and dried currants. The recipe didn’t call for currants. I bought the only item in the grocery store that said “dried apples” on it, only [...]
Tuesdays With Dorie – Golden Brioche Loaves
The oddest thing happened with these loaves. The dough rise went perfectly, just as Dorie described in the book. But when the pans went into the oven: total flop. They sank in on themselves. The brioche is still delicious, but probably not what it’s supposed to be. Add’l notes: I had to do this whole [...]
Tuesdays With Dorie – Tropical Crumble (and orange berry muffins)
THIS POST HAS BEEN EDITED. It originally said that the crumble contained papaya. This was a weird mental slip. It contained mango per the recipe. Hello. This is the tropical crumble – a syrupy mix of mango, bananas, and ginger, topped by a pecan/butter/brown-sugar crumble. My crumble melted into a layer. Otherwise, this is pretty [...]
Tuesdays With Dorie – Carrot Spice Muffins and various cakes
Hello, friends. These are the Carrot Spice Muffins from Dorie. They were very simple to throw together, and they cooked up perfectly. Taste great, and I’m sure the remaining muffins will be a hit at work. Also pictured: rising pizza dough, tomatoes, and chocolate buttercream icing. A winning combination. This is a cheeseburger cake. I [...]
Tuesdays with Dorie – Cocoa Almond Meringues
It’s my pick again! That means the recipe is included in this post. Now that I have your attention, please allow me to shamelessly self-promote for a moment.
