Brownie Muffins

I have been trying to eat reasonably these days… I (try to) refrain from eating greasy food, try (very hard) not to think about chocolate and ice cream and (occasionaly) eat half of what I usually eat. It is either that or a new wardrobe (and artery).

Apple Tart
May 12th, 2006 | Category: Baked Goods

It was one of those days. Nothing went right. Work kept on piling up. I needed something to soothe me. Something to give me the energy to go on. No, I didn’t turn to Nutella this time. Or went outside to get some fresh air and play with the gang. Instead, I gave myself a 15 minute break and delved right into the blogosphere. Jumping from link to link, I found myself looking at a post. In awe. It was this apple tart looking absolutely stunning. Like a flower whose petals are so symmetric that you think only God could have created it. I knew I had to try it. When I turned back a couple of days later to print the post, it hit me… Silly me forgot to bookmark the post… And I am supposed to be the most organized person on the planet. I gave up after a couple of hours and tried to come up with the recipe myself. After all, the most important part was the design and that I wouldn’t forget.
If anyone knows which post I am talking about, please let me know. I would like to provide a link to the original design.

Cheese and Wine @ Mahir and Vera
April 25th, 2006 | Category: Baked Goods
Two very dear friends of mine celebrated their tenth year anniversary at Corsica. On their way back, they brought several delicious French cheeses and were quite generous to share them with friends.
Among many, my favorite cheese was Brocciu, a whey-based cheese produced from goat or ewe’s (female adult sheep) milk, which makes it perfect for the lactose-intolerant cheese lovers. Apparently, Brocciu is considered Corsica’s national food.
