Hope its as good as it sounds.

(70,508 posts)... Skyline restaurant style chili. Make sure to top with diced onions, use the beans, and serve over
good spaghetti pasta. Add some oyster crackers and some hot sauce too and you will have the cats pajamas too.
5 way is the way to go.

(2,150 posts)Jamie Oliver has a basic 5-ingredient polenta cake version, made with what I think translates on this side of the pond as cornmeal (still figuring that part out), browsing through some that admix almond flour, some that add a bit of cardamom, haven't settled on the riff I want to play yet
1/6 is coming and for some reason "blood Orange" came to mind thinking about the Insurrectionist-in-Chief

(2,150 posts)That's probably what's sticking in my mind, cornmeal I'm used to cooks faster than the polenta I'm used to
I think the real difference is polenta is corn flour and the stuff for corn bread is cornmeal. and of course there is also masa harina for tamales y tortillas.

(10,136 posts)the polenta I buy here in California is very coarse, pretty much just crushed corn, and the cornmeal is a much finer flour, although still a little gritty. Just don't use cornstarch (which the Brits call corn flour)!
Anyway, I'm interested in how it turns out - I have a hyperactive blood orange tree at the moment.

(55,008 posts)I don't have much experience with polenta and I could have sworn it was the finer product from my limited use.

(9,580 posts)I've been talking about it on here for awhile, probably trying to get my nerve up! But I hope to do it next weekend. There was some debate over which spices, but after watching about 20 videos on youtube, I think a lot of it is just individual preference. Can't beat that.
I'll let you know how it turns out.

(10,136 posts)I'd like to make a real (or as real as possible) English pork pie. So far my one attempt was, um, dense, to put it mildly. Nothing like the pretty individual pies you find in the UK

We'll see how this turns out and go from there.

(55,008 posts)my mom had a no-bake cheesecake that had lemon and was sooooo goood.
(I think the graham cracker crust was baked a short while to crisp it up, but it was a jello-based filling)
the crust is made w/ animal crackers instead of graham crackers
It's an America's Test Kitchen recipe

(55,008 posts)I don't plan far enough ahead to think about anything in particular I want to try this year, but I am sure there will be something new.

(9,580 posts)The lime cheesecake is to die for. Can be made with lemons as well. It was very long to type and put here, but I found this by googling. I didn't add cocoa to my crust, and just did a regular graham cracker crust.
https://www.philly.com.au/recipe/lime-cheesecake/
WHAT YOU NEED
1 cup sweet biscuit crumbs
1/3 cup butter, melted
2 tablespoons cocoa
500g PHILADELPHIA Block Cream Cheese, softened
1/2 cup caster sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons grated lime rind
1 1/2 tablespoons gelatine dissolved in 1/3 cup hot water
1/2 cup cream, semi-whipped
seasonal fruits
HOW TO MAKE IT
COMBINE biscuit crumbs, butter and cocoa. Press into base of a 20cm spring form pan, chill.
BEAT PHILLY until smooth, add the sugar, milk, lime juice and lime rind. Add gelatine mixture and blend well.
FOLD in cream, pour into prepared crumb crust and chill until firm.
DECORATE with seasonal fruits.
If you are really into cheesecake, this book has it all. It's kind of expensive, and wasn't at the time I bought it. But here you go, if interested.

(14,176 posts)I've only begun baking things other than bread in the past 6-9 months (since I bought a KitchenAid) and choux seems so different from other baked goods and I'd like to learn that skill.

(2,674 posts)I want to make it using gelatin sheets and fruit juice and roll in extra fine sugar. Maybe grape and orange juices for 2 different flavors.
