SED - Day 27 - Food, Glorious Food

[teddy_radiator]

At my flist's suggestion, I took some Antique Matte Mod Podge to the train case, and I thank you for the suggestion - it worked a treat, and it really looks good! I also managed to line it without going too crazy. It's not professional looking but it's just for us, so it is good enough for me.

Today, I decided to make something yummy, but it's a couple of days before payday, and some of my ingredients had to be substituted. Even so, it tasted wonderful.

Crustless Cranberry Pie

Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups Craisins or cranberries
1/2 cup chopped almonds
1/2 cup applesauce
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease one 9 inch pie pan.
2. Combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Stir in the craisins and almonds, and toss to coat. Stir in the applesauce, mayo, and vanilla extract. If you are using frozen cranberries, the mixture will be very thick. Spread the batter into the prepared pan.
3. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 40 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted near the center comes out clean.

Of course, the original recipe called for 1/2 cup butter instead of applesauce, and 2 eggs instead of mayo. It actually called for walnuts and almond extract, but I had neither! It's sort of a Frankenstein of the original, but it was darn tasty nevertheless.

I also made home-cooked pinto beans today. They were awesome - and I ate way too much of them. I will probably explode later.

I read a really sexy fanfic today, and it got me wanting to write sexy SSHG. We'll see what DMuse has in store. Tomorrow is work.

Either you are being a tease, or you are quite cruel. Link for sexy fic? Please?

Thanks, Teddy!

Glad the Mod Podge worked out!

I never thought of putting cranberries in a pie, but that's a great idea! I'll have to try it.

It's terrific! I used Crasins, which made it very sweet; I think next time I'll try regular cranberries.

Thanks for that recipe! I'm going to send it to my daughter and DIL. I think they'll both love it.

And thanks for the We're All Monsters link.

I was delighted with the recipe. I think it would be awesome to grate an orange peel in there as well.

We're All Monsters isn't usually my pairing of choice, but it was so wicked and dirty I couldn't stop reading! ;)

That recipe sounds amazing.

Dahlra, work your magic! I'm always excited to read your work.

We'll see what he wants. He calls the shots after all!

The recipe was really delightful. As I told Beffey, I'm going to put a little orange peel in it next time.

The pie ounds wonderful, and it inspired the subject of my post.

I just saw it! I love Indian food so much! I highly recommend this pie - it was absolutely delish, even if I did totally bastardise the original recipe. Next time I'm going to add some orange zest to the recipe.

What a coincidence! You want to write sexy SS/HG, and I want to read sexy SS/HG ... It's like the universe is trying to tell us something! ;)

I hope so! I'm in a bit of a funk right now, and it's blocking my connection to my precious Muse, but this too shall pass. I'm sure I'll be on the case very soon.
