    That's a new one to me. How does the taste compare to regular bramble berries?

    They were sweet but very mild flavored. Honestly, i think they tasted
    and looked more like salmon berries than like raspberries.

    Yesterday on a walk i ate a good deal of blackberries and stained my fingers purple.

    I saw you posted some picnic recipes. My sister invited me to a
    community BBQ today and i am curious what all they'll have there.

    Title: Strawberry-Rhubarb Puff
    Categories: Desserts
    Yield: 1 Batch

    Strawberries and rhubarb work in a lot of things for me - except pie.
    If I am having rhubarb pie or cobbler - leave the strawberries where
    they grow.

    Here's a thing that popped up in my local "news"paper that I though, when
    I saw it "I'll bet Ben would like this." So, here y'go ...

    Title: Peanut-Sesame Noodles for One

    I do like this, thanks! I bet some napa cabbage would go well in this.

    This morning i did a little cooking without a recipe.

    I sauteed two red onions. In the meanwhile i cleaned and cored a
    cauliflower, broke it into florets, and put them into the crockpot.
    I drained and rinsed two cans of chickpeas and added them. I put
    in a jar of Taste of India simmer sauce and less than a cup of
    water. I put in some dried curry leaves and the sauteed onions
    and turned the heat on. Tonight i'll make rice and call it a
    lazy meal.

    I have yet to understand why people insist on draining and rinsing stuff.
    Can they not plan for and use all of that tasty gravy. If you want bare veggies/beans cook or steam them.

    Title: PETS DE SOEURS (Sister's [i.e., Nun's] Farts)
    Categories: Pastry, French
    Yield: 40 fritters

    6 T Butter
    2 ts Sugar
    1 pn Salt
    1 ts Grated lemon rind
    4 Eggs
    1 c Flour
    1 ts Vanilla
    1 ts Rum, dark; opt
    Oil; for deep-frying
    Sugar, confectioners

    Combine the butter, sugar, salt, and lemon rind with 1 cup water in a
    saucepan and bring the mixture slowly to a boil. When the butter has
    completely melted, remove the pan from the heat. While the pan is
    heating, break each of the eggs into a separate custard cup or
    similar small dish and have these ready. When the pan is removed
    from the heat, add all the flour at once, stirring, first carefully,
    then, when the flour is absorbed, vigorously with a wooden spoon.

    When you have a compact, thick paste, turn the heat to medium high and
    return the pan to it. Cook this mixture for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring
    constantly and scraping the sides and bottom, until the batter clings
    together in a solid mass, leaving the bottom and sides of the pan
    clean, and takes on a glossy look. Turn off the heat and remove the
    pan from the stove.

    Beat in the vanilla, and the rum if used, giving the batter a chance
    to cool a little. When it has, make a well in its center, pour in 1
    egg, and beat this into the mass. When it is incorporated, beat in
    another egg and proceed until all the eggs are used. The resulting
    pastry should be flexible and soft, firm enough to hold its shape and
    not at all runny. Set it aside and let it rest for about 45 minutes,
    or for the duration of supper.

    When ready to make the fritters, fill a deep skillet or deep-fat fryer
    two-thirds full of oil and heat to 360 deg.F (not too hot, or the
    exteriors will brown before the center is cooked). If you are using
    a deep-fat fryer, do not use the basket, but a slotted spoon or wire
    mesh skimmer instead. Drop the batter into the hot oil a teaspoonful
    at a time, dipping the spoon into the oil after each scoop. Don't
    overcrowd the pan, since they puff up to about four times their
    original size. Nudge them to roll over, so that they color evenly on
    all sides. When golden brown, drain on paper towels and sprinkle
    with confectioners' sugar. Serve hot. Pet de Breton. This recipe
    makes 1 large fart. Make the batter with the same ingredients the
    same way as explained above, including the 45- minute rest. Preheat
    oven to 375 deg.F. Pour the batter into a large greased pan (a
    10-inch or so heavy cast-iron frying pan works well for this) and set
    in the oven. Bake for an hour. Remove, sprinkle with confectioners'
    sugar, tear apart, and eat as soon as it's cool enough to handle.

    Title: Hermes Cream Puffs
    Categories: Desserts, Pastry, Dairy
    Yield: 1 servings

    1/2 c Whole milk
    1/2 c Unsalted butter; in 8
    - pieces
    1 ts + 2 tb sugar
    1 ts Kosher salt
    1 c A-P flour
    6 lg Eggs
    2 1/2 c Heavy cream
    Powdered sugar; for dusting

    Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Fit 1 large
    pastry bag (or a plastic freezer bag with 1/2" cut from
    one bottom corner) with plain 1/2" tip.

    Bring milk, butter, 1 tsp. sugar, salt, and 1/2 cup
    water to a boil in a medium sauce pan over medium heat,
    stirring occasionally. Add flour all at once; reduce
    heat to medium-low. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon
    until a dough forms and pulls away from sides of pan,
    1+2 minutes. Continue beating vigorously until a thin
    dry film forms on bottom and sides of pot, about 1
    minute. Transfer to a bowl.

    Add 1 egg and stir vigorously with wooden spoon until
    egg is incorporated and dough looks dry again, about 2
    minutes. Repeat with 4 more eggs, adding one at a time
    and stirring vigorously to incorporate before adding the
    next. Dough should be smooth, shiny, and thickened.

    Spoon dough into prepared pastry bag; pipe out 2 1/2"
    diameter rounds on prepared sheets, leaving 2" between
    rounds.

    DO AHEAD: Freeze the piped dough rounds on the baking
    sheets, then transfer to resealable plastic bags and
    freeze for up to 1 month. Place on parchment paper-lined
    baking sheets, spacing apart (do not defrost) before
    continuing with recipe.

    Arrange racks in upper and middle thirds of oven and Set
    @ 450°F/232°C. Whisk remaining egg with 2 tsp. water and
    brush dough rounds all over with egg wash.

    Transfer baking sheets to oven; turn oven off. After 10
    minutes, heat oven to 350°F/175°C and bake for 10
    minutes. Rotate pans front to back and top to bottom;
    continue baking until deep golden brown all over, about
    10 minutes longer (puffs will deflate if removed from
    oven before fully baked). Transfer puffs to a wire rack
    and let cool completely.

    Using a serrated knife, gently slice the top quarter off
    each puff; transfer tops to a plate. With your finger,
    gently push down the soft film of cooked dough inside
    each puff.

    Prepare a second pastry bag (or freezer bag) with 1/2"
    open-star tip. Beat heavy cream and remaining 2 Tbsp.
    sugar in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Spoon
    whipped cream into prepared pastry bag. Fill each puff
    with cream, finishing with a generous ring of cream on
    top. Dust tops of cream puffs with powdered sugar; place
    atop puffs.
