    - 2 chocolate cake rounds (8-9")
    - Frost the top of each round with chocolate frosting
    - Add whip cream on to the bottom round
    - Add cherry pie filling to bottom round
    - Put second cake round on top
    - Add whip cream and cherry pie filling on top.
    -Eat!
    I may have to try this. I'm looking for a cake recipe for my mom's birthday in a couple of weeks (since she'll be visiting...yeah!). She's requested cherry and chocolate for flavors, so this would work. I also found some recipes that call for mixing cherry pie filling with chocolate cake mix and then baking.

      Just put together the menu for a family gathering...

      App - caprese tarts and cheese/crackers.. maybe cheese straws. I don't like having heavy appetizers, because no one is hungry for the meal and I always make too much food
      Stuffed Eggplant and Four Cheese Pasta for the vegetarian entrees
      Baked Garlic Cheddar Chicken
      Summer Vegetable Tian (I think tian is one of the trendy words people like to throw around, like "ombre" and I'd prefer to call it something else)
      Roasted Mushrooms
      Potatoes Dauphinoise
      Fruit Salad
      Mixed Berry Galette
      some type of chocolate/dulce de leche tart
      vanilla ice cream to go with desserts

      unrelated - these raspberry breakfast bars are delicious. I used strawberries, raspberries, black raspberries and blueberries. The crust/streusel is REALLY good. It's more like a soft granola bar than cake or shortbread.

      edit: ****, I realized I made a berry galette (with cheesecake) last year. Maybe need to find something different that uses up frozen berries. A lot of things don't work with frozen (like fresh fruit tarts and trifle), since the fruit doesn't retain its fresh shape when defrosted. Might need to resort to pie.

      edit2: cobbler, crumble, clafoutis! one of those should work.

              Oh my god. Meat coma.

              Smoked ten pounds of ribs and shoulder. Plus had another couple pounds in the beans.

              Meatapolooza was a major success.

                Scientists develop bacon-flavored seaweed

                Somehow, I don't think seaweed wrapped steaks will work quite as well as the real stuff, but people with more imagination than I have in the culinary arts could find a lot of uses for it. It could be good in potato dishes.

                  Outstanding

                  You can serve on rolls as-is, or stir in a bit of tomato sauce at the very end, to serve on a plate alone. I don't do pasta with this dish, but you could serve over that if you prefer.

                    Did the Pies class, German bread, German sweets and Pastry bake-cation at Zingerman's. Made a few things I haven't made before - the Black Forest Torte was a surprising favorite. 3 chocolate sponge cake layers, with cherries and whipped cream. Very light and delicious. Also made blueberry, apple and lemon pies, hot cocoa coffee cake, angel food cake, croissants, asparagus strudel, cranberry orange muffins, ginger scones, 3 German breads, German almond cookies (which I liked, even though they had almond extract), pound cake, cream puffs and eclairs, and cinnamon rolls.

                    I think I've discovered the source of my bread not rising as much - I had been using kosher salt instead of sea salt in my recipes, when it called for sea salt. We'll see what happens the next time I bake some (um, it'll be a little while before I bake again )

                      Next cooking project:

                      Re-creating Tio's Mexican Cafe's (Ann Arbor) Mount Nacheesmo.

                      "Mt. Nacheesmo is a 5 lb platter of nachos that was featured on the television show Man vs. Food. It is the world's largest plate of nachos. Beans, beef, chicken, pork, monterey jack and cheddar cheese, tomatoes, onions, green peppers, black olives, sour cream, guacamole, and of course, the crown of creamy queso. It can easily feed 4 to 5 adults and is intended to be shared. It is available anytime for $39.99."

                        Most people here probably know this already, but those cooking shows aren't necessarily what you think they are. Here's a link to some inside scoops on how they make the food look so good & secret ingredient shows.

                          I saw some of that when Alton Brown did his behind the scenes episode of Good Eats.

                          Also... those secrets are why Rachael Ray gets her food prepped and cooked in 30 minutes. It's easy when you have a magic stove.

                            Found something to do with leftover steak

                            Also, speaking of Giada, I'm revisiting her pasta recipes, because pasta is cheap, and a quick source of carbohydrate for marathon training season.

                                I buy strip steak from Sam's Club, and it comes 4 to a pack. So after my dad and I eat 2 steaks, there are two leftover.
