Nothing in particular. Maybe I should remove my socks. :zoinks:

Cheesecake in the oven, for tomorrow.

It rose so high this time that I had to place it lower in the oven. It is golden brown on top, but white, wobbly and far from done in the middle.

Weird, how it rises so much more or less now and then.

Smells good though, really good.

I am making pizza.  It smells wonderful!!
It just went into the oven. I have a large pizza stone that I pre-heat the whole time I am putting it all together, to set the pizza on. So the crust goes onto a "toaster"  from the beginning.

I started with a bread machine and a recipe that has already been proven over the past few years. It makes the dough and then it just needs to be spread out and topped with magic.

All the veggies have come from the garden, including the sauce which I made a few weeks back and froze remainders for days like today. Meat and mushrooms are from the store, sorry; can not do it all.

Anyway, today I tried to do a commercial thing and stuffed the outer rim of the crust with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. My first try for this.

Pretty sure it will be a success towards the inner (always is!!), but I am beside myself waiting to see how the stuffing crust idea comes out. BTW, it was my son's idea to "ramp up" my standard crust with fancy pizza parlor tricks.

It smells great and now since I have been typing it will only be about another fifteen minutes before it all comes true.

A chocolate mudcake in the oven. Smells like it is about time to prod it to test if it is ready.

It's making me crave chocolate. Maybe should look for the craving thread.

CBC, where are you? You should be drooling all over this thread by now.

  I don't smell much of anything at the moment.  I guess no news is good news.  :zoinks:

There was nothing left of that cake. And if there had been, it would have been a bad sign. Chocolate cakes that last that long can't taste good.

  I've heard there are margarines so full of fake stuff, you can put them outdoors and wild animals

This one was made with real butter. And dark chocolate. Very rich, very good, very filling.

  My supermarket briefly stocked microwaveable mini-chocolate cakes by Marie Callendar.
  They were surprisingly good for frozen desserts, especially the rich frosting.  They're gone now.  :'(
