Beautiful cake. Thought I might use buttermilk instead of heavy cream and milk. Like your website. Regarding the oven, it's hard to get a good oven these days. They're all overly programmed. Had a really bad experience with Kitchen Aid. Wouldn't it be nice if they would make one that's looks good, but just turns on and off and keeps to the temp expected!! Keep cooking!

In many ways, I consider the freezer part of my pantry - I freeze pizza dough, naan dough, and so on so it's ready whenever I need it! Actually, I currently have two refrigerators and freezers ( I know, I recognize it's an addiction). Asha - I'm a cheese addict too! A few months ago my roommate received a box full of 15 types of cheeses from Murray's in NYC. It was amazing! Mary - Mmmm your bacony couscous sounds delish. I'm currently on the look out for whole wheat orzo - I think it would be great because it would cook fast and replace our brown rice in dishes when we're short on time.

(Couscous and bacon is a family staple. Cooked couscous (1 cup dry), half a pound of bacon, chopped and sauteed to get rid of the fat, and a cup or two of cheddar. Mix together and bake for 20 min to melt the cheese. Yum. Also you can throw stir-fried veg over it.) Pecans and raisins. Olive oil and vinegar. I am never without salad ingredients in the house, and can make dinner out of a green salad and bread. Couscous, because you can make it so quickly and do pretty much anything with it.

I usually have several different kinds - one for pasta, one for cheese and cracker snacks, one for homemade pizza ... it goes on and on :) Pantry-wise, I always keep a stock of dried chilis around for pasta sauces and for adding a kick to any dish that starts with sauteed onions.

I freeze EVERYTHING and it makes throwing together delicious meals like this awesome. I usually don't use the whole can of tomato paste so I freeze little portions of it for recipes just like this tasty looking one. Thanks for the inspiration, Erin!

I gave a baking range, because I have a finicky oven that I have to check often. I would recommend checking the cake at the time I gave, but being prepared to give it anywhere from 15-20 minutes more. I think Colleen’s statement was pretty accurate.

Was there printing error, or do you think she made a mistake? Would really like to try making this cake.

]]> Comment on Creamy Red Quinoa by Hollis Pfitsch http://theapartmentkitchen.net/2010/01/07/creamy-red-quinoa/comment-page-1/#comment-350 Hollis Pfitsch Tue, 16 Feb 2010 02:12:18 +0000 http://theapartmentkitchen.net/?p=589#comment-350 I made this tonight with regular quinoa - so good and easy - the yogurt is a perfect addition, even with the low-fat plain yogurt we had in the house. Greek would be even better! Next time I'll try with red quinoa. I made a veggie stir-fry to have with it - just zucchini, cabbage, sweet potato and onion - the ones I needed to get rid of - and that was great with it.
