I actually never baked with it until I lived in Jordan. Here, the pods are roasted and ground with the Arabic coffee, giving it a distinct taste, but I can by it ground as well. Apple pie is my favorite! Must be something about this time of year and the new fall produce but have been so motivated to be in the kitchen baking and cooking. It is often like that after a long hot summer. It's not really cool here yet--just not hot.Quotidian Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15621964632808884901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14254421.post-3669487473620353082011-10-07T19:45:10.067-07:002011-10-07T19:45:10.067-07:00These all sound delicious and as I just bought a n...These all sound delicious and as I just bought a new jug of olive oil today, I'm in a position to try one. I was pricing cardamon today for another recipe and after I picked myself up from the ground at the cost, I decided to wait until I could buy a small amount from Penzeys so cake #2 will have to wait. <br /><br />Thanks for the link to Orangette. I love that blog but I always forget about it until I see it again. I have yet to make something from Orangette that came out wrong. <br /><br />I made eight jars of applesauce today and am planning on making my second apple pie of the week tomorrow so I think a nice plain cake will be perfect for next week. The walnut cake looks like it will be perfect and I have all of the ingredients in the house (don't you love recipes for which you don't have to make a trip to the store?).jlthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01293720624466655384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14254421.post-37951748051616836222011-10-07T12:15:25.919-07:002011-10-07T12:15:25.919-07:00So far I've proved inept at preserving olives ...So far I've proved inept at preserving olives so I just buy them, but I would like to give it another try, surrounded as I am by olives. I need a recipe! Unfortunately, no one around here really uses recipes, especially for something so intuitive as preserving olives (if you want them hotter, add some more peppers!, etc.)<br /><br />Martha, the first one is a very easy-no fuss recipe and is Tom and Andrew's favorite of the three.Quotidian Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15621964632808884901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14254421.post-91722922629705321802011-10-07T06:25:52.927-07:002011-10-07T06:25:52.927-07:00I've never baked with olive oil because I wasn...I've never baked with olive oil because I wasn't sure the taste would be the right thing, but I'll have to give one or two of your cakes a try.

I'd never seen them before, and they were delicious! The next week I bought some more that were the usual more yellow-olive color, and they weren't nearly as good. And I never saw the blue-green olive vendor again, so their source (and variety) is a mystery. <br /><br />I've been cooking everything with olive oil, too, since we moved to Italy. And your cake looks (and sounds) yummy. <br /><br />I hope you are enjoying your new home!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
