💜 happy belated ! 💜
Apologies for the photos! They ran out the door a friend and a hungry group of industry kids ready for an endless string of date-nights at the restaurant! These are classic loft house with a lemon twist and vanilla bean sugar cookies with meringue and royal icing!

Checking on apples in storage! Flavors change. Textures change. It sometimes mean one is due for sauce, sheet freezing, pie/pie freezing. Here are enterprise, empire (orchard b), black twig, melrose, connell red, and empire (orchard a). toothpicks mean time is nigh!

Sometimes I get a craving for your basic, too-sugary, “I’m 10 years old”, cookie and honestly…I mess them up. It’s like my brain doesn’t understand the fundamental American cookie? 😂 BUT, I finally nailed it! So, here is your classic, chewy, m&m cookie 😊
(and per ‘s suggestion, I have ended this post with an Essie)

Fall is coming! Williams Pride is one of the first apples we start to see and I am elated.

🍒 Tart Cherry Crumble 🍒
It’s a little early for cherries in Wisconsin, but the other perk about living in Wisconsin is you can always get a couple pounds of frozen Door County Cherries at the market! Made with a cornmeal crust, topped with a classic oat crumble and finished with an ever-so-slightly sweetened tart cherry filling. Mom approved.

It’s rhubarb season! If I could dig up a photo of me with a blue-black bob with a gigantic bowl of chopped rhubarb circa 2005/06 you would know my love runs deep! There are 4 pies I really love: rhubarb (straw-rhu need to apply!), pumpkin, tart cherry (I mean tart!), and my Aunt Arlene’s Dutch apple. Suppose cherry is next?!

Buechler’s Coffee Cake - Didn’t actually know it was my mom’s recipe (I mean it’s in her handwriting but sometimes it is someone else’s). Moist, tangy, with layered cinnamon-sugar and a mix of pecans and walnuts.

Nothing to see here, just working on our Versunkener Apfkuchen recipe. Lightly spiced with cardamon and nutmeg with a touch of cinnamon 🤞

New home, new baking butters to explore! I can’t keep bootlegging Wüttrich when I find it 😂— this is from a town over and makes for an exceptional crust or crumble.

Friends! It’s baking season and we’re gearing up! But we’re also getting to know a very fussy, very old, electric 😔 oven in our new 😃 home! We MOVED! This season will be mail order only with maybe one or two special Chicago order fulfillments! Es and I finally made it to Wisconsin where fields and forests are all around, and orchards are only a stone’s throw away!

We made our first trip to Star Orchard in Kaukana, who have 55 varieties (and new seedlings abound) to get our first haul. The women there are fabulous and are anxious for next weekend’s varieties to ripen.

To start testing this oven (yes, internal digital and laser read thermometers are on order - if not just finding a better used electric oven myself) I am working on reworking my Versunkener Apfelkuchen sans alcohol and also seeing how I can give the classic just an *little* more depth.

Stay tuned!
