Baking/sweets:
I made the polenta bread using a new method. It was an experiment that turned out fairly OK. I cooked polenta first in lots of water, cooled it down, added flour and baking powder and baked it. I will give this a few more trial runs before posting the recipe. I previously posted a recipe for a simple yeast free polenta bread here. The recipe I already posted uses raw polenta, so the bread turns out crispier and drier. I like it but it is probably not everyones cup of tea.

This should make food bloggers smile. British intelligence agents managed to hack into the extremist Inspire magazine, replacing its bombmaking instructions with a recipe for cupcakes. The spy agency has a new message for terrorists: make cupcakes, not war. The article did not say which cupcake recipe was posted, neither did it discuss the outcome. I wonder if any of the target audience actually made the cupcakes, whether intentionally because they have a sweet tooth, or by mistake without realizing it was for a different kind of bomb. Excess consumption of the cupcake bomb can be suicidal, potentially.
Yes! Cupcakes instead of bombs! The world would be a peaceful place...
ReplyDeleteI love eggplant and the spongy texture is great to absorb the flavoursome oyster sauce!
ReplyDeleteCupcakes would solve all the world's problems! Everyone needs more cupcakes :)
ReplyDeleteI have never made polenta, but I would really like to try your polenta bread recipe when it's ready.
ReplyDeleteCupcakes are so joyful! That is a very artistic looking piece of cake!
ReplyDeleteHaha! What a great post! Once the tummy is happy, everyone's happy ... no more terrorism!

ReplyDeleteGorgeous photo of the Velvet Bliss and your 'make cupcakes not war' snippet made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteAlso, looking forward to the polenta bread when you are happy with your recipe.
I knew the British have an exceptional sense of humour! It sounds like from Monty Python ;-)
ReplyDeletei love how you blog about your meals and plan them out!! i do the same too :). btw, i noticed you have two blogs. i assume one is for your eating and the other one is recipes?
ReplyDeleteEveryone: looking at the comments it seems the decision to substitute a cupcake recipe for a bomb 'recipe' was a great one.
ReplyDeleteJunia: thats right, one for eating and talking about food and the other for recipes
That slice of cake looks amazing! What an awesome photo.
ReplyDeleteAgree. A cupcake recipe will make everyone happy and peace!
