I have a carrot cake in the oven

[MissHoneychurch]

ask me anything :P ...


(before I start renovating my kitchen.)

[Call Me Wesley]

1. Yummy,

that's my absolute favorite cake.

Haven't talked to you for quite some time, how goes? :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

2. Hey CMW

:hi:

I am doing fine. Crossing my fingers that the cake comes out good since it is my first attempt and I want to serve it neweurope tomorrow :scared:

[Call Me Wesley]

3. Then I'm crossing my fingers too!

It'll be just fine, no worries. Are you going to neweurope's place or is she visiting you?

[MissHoneychurch]

4. I'll go to neweurope

she wants to show me her new place. I am going to take my camera with me to take pics. Then she can decide if she wants to post them.

So far it starts to smell good in the kitchen.

[Call Me Wesley]

5. That's nice, and I'll hope she'll post some pics.

Don't forget to say 'hi' from me. ;)

[MissHoneychurch]

6. Sure will

I am think if the pics come out good she will post them

[Call Me Wesley]

9. Hopefully,

since she spoke so highly of her new place.

BTW, I just saw the last snippets of German News yesterday (I watch TV kind of really late and might catch only the bottom scroll news on ntv sometimes), but is the flooding new in the Southern parts?

[MissHoneychurch]

12. No, flooding is normal there

every spring when the snow melts in the mountains. It is just a lot this year since it was so much snow.

[Call Me Wesley]

29. It still

looked pretty bad with at least many basements full of water.

[MissHoneychurch]

30. It is never nice

bt at least in Dresden the water isn't rising as fast as they were afraid, but it is bad anyway. They expect the highest point tomorrow.

7. Would you post the recipe?

Sounds delish!

[MissHoneychurch]

11. Sure

but I only have the recipe in the metric system

6 eggs
300 gramm sugar
100 gramm flour
400 gramm grounded (shredded?) nuts (I took hazelnuts)
1 tsp baking powder
600 gramm shredded carrots
citron, vanilla, cinammon

Separate the eggs. Beat the egg white with 2/3 of the sugar to whisk stiff, whisk the egg yolks with 1/3 of the sugar
Add flour, nuts and carrots with the egg yolk whisk. Taste with the aromas.
Add the stiff egg white carefully

Bake it about 45minutes at 180° Celsius in a ring form

WARNING I take no responsibilities for it since it is my first try.

[meti57b]

19. Hi, hey ...thanks! It looks really good!

I can convert it. Thanks again!

[MissHoneychurch]

22. Ok, cool if you can convert it

I couldn't do it.

I let you know how it tastes after tomorrow. Maybe neweurope can throw in her opinion as well.

[GOPisEvil]

8. One of my favorites!!

:9

[MissHoneychurch]

13. Hello GOP

:hi:

haven't talked to you in a while. How are you?

[GOPisEvil]

15. I'm good. Busy with work and life, but no complaints.

:hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

16. Glad to hear

sounds like me :)

[Wapsie B]

10. Will it have cream cheese frosting?

I hope so! :)

[MissHoneychurch]

14. Nope

I think I will just sparkle it with powdered sugar.

[Wapsie B]

20. Oh god no!

THIS IS HUGH!! I'M CEREAL!!

At least whipped cream. But either way I bet it tastes good.

[MissHoneychurch]

21. I never heard of carrot cake

with cream cheese or whipped cream. Not typical in Germany. Sorry buddy ;)

[Wapsie B]

23. Damn, what kind of German are you?

Maybe it's my Scandahoovian side talking. ;-)

[MissHoneychurch]

24. The onl< way I know it

is with frosted sugar

[Wapsie B]

25. I've only had it with cream cheese.

Potatoe, potaaahhhtoe......to each his own :)

[MissHoneychurch]

26. I let you know

how it tastes without cream cheese :)

[Wapsie B]

27. Good!

I'm sure it tastes great. But the favorite thing about it is the smell of it baking.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

[MissHoneychurch]

28. Just took it out of the oven

it looks good. I hope it tastes as it smells

[Wapsie B]

31. MMMMMMMmm!

I'm thinking of it right now. If it smells good I'm sure it tastes good too. That's why I cook by smell and aroma as much as anything.

[MissHoneychurch]

32. Understandable

I just started baking a bit more the last few months. So it is always an experiment if it turns out right. I start with the easy recipes.

[Wapsie B]

35. You did?

I like to bake cakes and cookies. It's one of my favorite things to do in the kitchen. Haven't done any pies though and getting bread to rise and come out just right is something I've not mastered yet.

[MissHoneychurch]

36. I rather cook than bake

the thing is that since I live alone a cake is too much for myself to eat. So if I bake I have to take some of it with me to work and force my co-workers to try it.

[Wapsie B]

37. Yes I share my creations too.

BBQ is what I really like to get creative with. That and roasting meats. Almost time to fire up the grill again!

[MissHoneychurch]

38. Still some months here till it is possible

to sit outside and bbq.

[Wapsie B]

39. I'll sometimes do it even in the dead of winter.

Fire up the grill and marinate some steaks. Most people around here wait 'til it gets warmer too. But not me.

[MissHoneychurch]

40. If you have a craving for bbq

that is what you have to do :rofl:

[Wapsie B]

41. I have a craving for a lot of things in life

bbq is on that list, but it's a ways down there in terms of fulfilling my spirit.
And I'm not just talking about hedonistic pleasure either. :)

What's so funny?

[MissHoneychurch]

42. I wouldn't dare to laugh

Honestly
































:rofl:

[Wapsie B]

43. As long as it's you Miss HC

go right ahead. ;-)



:rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

44. I feel honored

:hug:

[In_The_Wind]

17. Is it cake yet?

[MissHoneychurch]

18. In about 10 minutes

and it smells good so far. So I might have luck.

You in the hotel at the moment?

[In_The_Wind]

33. Can you send 2 pieces through cyber space?

[MissHoneychurch]

34. Here ya go
