I've been thinking

[cornerofmadness]

Since I don't always know a good community to rec (and I forget to write them down when I see them) I wanted to add a little something for engagement on thursdays. I'm going back to something I used to do: Thankful thursdays

Today I'm thankful I paid off my car (today in fact) and I'm thankful I haven't throttled anyone (I'm barely joking here)

I did pre-order B. Dylan Hollis's baking book. I don't really bake but I find him fun with his enthusiasm so catchy. Also I've always had an interest in historic cooking. I do plan to try some of them. I might try one per decade at first (if I can find places to share them other than work) So that brings me to this question: What is your favorite dessert? (I'm actually not that big on them but I do like pie and baklava)


But I do have a community rec, it's a new one green_joy looking at things we can do (and share) in regards to climate change and environmentalism

Congratulations on paying off your car! Woot!

[cornerofmadness]

thank you

[spikedluv]

W00t! Yay for paying off your car!

Funny you mention cooking in decades because I recently saw a food challenge show advertised that is based on decades.

Oh man, it's really hard to pick one favorite dessert! My favorite cake is wacky (chocolate). My favorite pies are raspberry and lemon meringue. My favorite cookie is chocolate chip. My favorite ice cream flavor is coffee (with hot fudge). *g*

Thanks for the community rec!

I've been watching B. Dylan Hollis reels on Facebook. He's hilarious and some of those recipes look fairly easy to do.

Favorite dessert - I'm not a huge cake person, but offer me any kind of cookie and I'll take it. I also really like key lime pie and pretty much anything with coconut.

Yay for paying off your car! Such a good feeling. I did that last year.

[cornerofmadness]

It really is

[cornerofmadness]

he is very funny and yes some of the recipes (nay, most of them in the cookbook) seem relatively straight forward and easy.

Coconut is good (as is key lime)

[cornerofmadness]

thanks.

Really? I wonder what station that will be on because I've not heard of that cooking show and I would probably give that a chance.

nice. love coffee ice cream

[shanachie_quill]

I got the book for my sister and I'm planning to get it for myself. It's adorable.

Man, I love cheesecake (pretty much any kind), so I always let my mom make me one (strawberry) for my birthday. I love to eat all kinds of junk though. XD;

Ice cream in particular is another favorite of mine. Have you ever had the Baskin-Robbins' gold metal ribbon flavor? That (and the much simpler) peanut butter and chocolate are two of my favorites.

[cornerofmadness]

Cheesecake is pretty amazing.

Mom is the big ice cream freak here though I think I had that flavor eons ago. I haven't seen A Baskin's in 25 years at least.

[cornerofmadness]

It's really a great little book

[spikedluv]

It's at Food Network.

Coffee ice cream is so good!

[cornerofmadness]

thanks. I find it so bizarre given how much food network I watch that I never saw an ad for this.

[suzume]

Wow, not in that long... Of course, there are probably the most Baskin-Robbins in California though (but actually I like to buy a small carton at the local grocery store and get to have it three times).

[cornerofmadness]

I'm not much for ice cream. We did have a few baskin and robbins in the 80s but they definitely lost out around here to DQ and Coldstone

[suzume]

I don't eat it very often, but when I do it's such a treat!

[cornerofmadness]

understandbly so. I drove past the mall where our Baskin's was and it's 100% shuttered. That's sad

[suzume]

Oh, I agree. That's sad.

[cornerofmadness]

I hate seeing malls like this and wish they could repurpose the buildings at least

[suzume]

I feel the same. (We have a mall in our area that was going to become something else before the pandemic, but since has just been completely knocked down... I guess they're going to build something else there.)

[cornerofmadness]

That's a shame. Columbus OH is awful about letting those spaces go to waste. Pittsburgh does a better job of reclaiming it

[suzume]

Yeah, it's not that great.

[cornerofmadness]

Someone suggested turning them into retirement communities since the 55-65 group spent half our time inside malls. Toss in a functioning food court and an orange juilius and I might do it

[suzume]

That's a good idea!

[shanachie_quill]

It is!

[cornerofmadness]

I thought so
