georgym Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 That's how i get over disappointment and breakups... even if there is nothing concrete to look forward to, i can imagine that something will come...Here's what im looking forward to:--Taking Weekend trips to Woodstock this summer--hopefully making it out to Cali this summer--buying a yamaha keyboard and start producing music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weyes Posted June 21 Author Report Share Posted June 21 i was looking forward to someone answering this thread !one of my very best friend's parents had a house in woodstock that they went to on the weekends. so many mosquitoes, but i, as a city kid, always loved seeing the stars. i spent a lot of time on my roof in the city, but it sure wasn't the same. still, a weekend was always as much as i could take of being away from the free life - not being held captive in a house, miles away from anything.

weyes Posted June 23 Author Report Share Posted June 23 Originally posted by gmccookny why is that, weyes?/?I personally prefer cup cakes i guess it was the old question when we were kids about how they put the cream in, because there didn't seem to be a hole in the sides (or is there, you guys?). also, the spongey stuff isn't really cake; so what is it? and what is the cream, anyway? it just seems like lard or shortening to me - something really gross. it's just not right somehow, i guess. sorry to the twinkie fans.and my parents didn't let me have the ones you're talking about, vic. i only got to eat the ones that they liked, too, which wasn't a bad thing at all, really. my mom liked entenmann's coffee cakes and would buy their donut and donut holes, and my dad would buy dutch mill's glazed donuts. i don't know if dutch mill is still around; i think not, actually. but they were high quality and the dense, saturated kind that people forgo these days in favor of those bullshit krispy kreme ones that have no substance at all - blech. my mom and we also made cookies from scratch a lot. loads o' fun and soooo good. every tuesday morning was pancake morning, biscuits on the weekend (both from scratch, too) and we made the best birthday cakes . yummy...

vicman Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 oooo..french toast, i loooooove french toast...aughhhhh..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weyes Posted June 24 Author Report Share Posted June 24 we made donuts a couple of times, but only when i was very young, so i don't remember exactly how we did it. i do remember, however, that it took a lot of work and wasn't easy. deep-fat frying, or something.?o, and we used to make fudge a lot. yummmmm. that takes doing, too, getting the mixture to the right temperature without burning it. and if you don't get it hot enough it won't harden well enough. labor-intensive.my jewish grandma used to make matzo-brei (sp?) - the same idea as french toast but with crumbled matzo (pieces about 1 and 1/2 inches square) instead. yummy and easy.the only things i can cook are breakfast and dessert .

vicman Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 one of my uncles back in mexico loves to cook. he used to make donuts once or twice a month. a bit time consuming, but they were well worth the effort. i love banana nut bread also, and when i make it, its usually gone the same day i made it..and of course bread,. your everyday type of bread, its time consuming but nothing beats it when it comes out of thoven and its all warm and you smear butter on it....

weyes Posted June 25 Author Report Share Posted June 25 my stepmother makes the best banana bread... (why don't they have an eating smiley?)so, she made some for my 8-year-old half-sister's school bake sale, and it sold hella fast. my sister also ended up eating a good portion of it on the side . "it sold so quickly," my stepmother said. "i really don't know where it went.""i do!" my sister said. "in the toilet !" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicman Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 and muffins i also love muffins, any type..especially the top..there was a seinfeld episode some time ago on muffin tops...like with banana bread the top, for me, is the best part.when i was a kid, the first thing i wanted to be was a pastry chef, its kinda good that i'm not, i would probably be 30lbs heavier but i still enjoy baking and doing all of that malarky from time to time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
