Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Trump makes a mockery of the legal system and cowardly judges just sit back and let him.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

There’s always a light at the end of the frog.

An unpunished coup is a training exercise.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The current Supreme Court is a rogue court. Very dangerous.

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

I was confident that someone would point it out and thought why not me.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

The words do not have to be perfect.

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

The choice is between normal and crazy.

Fani Willis claps back at Trump chihuahua, Jim Jordan.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

tamara coconut lemon cake

Coconut Lemon Cake

From our Food Goddess, TaMara:

Something about frigid temps makes me crave sweets. So when I was thinking about tonight’s recipes, that is what I was drawn to and lemon themed recipes rose to the top. I suppose because it brings with it a reminder of warmer climates. Which is where I am headed later in the month. Beach weather. I’ll be the pale, wind swept one by the eucalyptus tree.

One of my favorite tangy, sweet desserts is Sour Cream Lemon Poppyseeed Cake, yum, recipe here.

tamara sliced-lemon-poppy-seed-11

Since next week bring with it the ultimate date night, I thought it would be a good idea to include some special sweets: Valentine’s Day Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies, recipe here and Valentine’s Chocolates, recipes here.

Which is a good time to let you know there will be no recipe exchange next Friday. Do you have Valentine’s plans? Do you go out or stay home and cook? Or do you ignore it all together? (You should probably make sure your romantic partner is on board with that, if that’s your plan. Right?) And during these cold, cold days, what do you like to cook?

jeffreyw peanut butter granola bars

Let’s not leave JeffreyW out of the mix, he and Mrs. J spent the cold week giving their kitchen a work out and this is one of the recipes that fortified them. Peanut Butter Granola Bars, click here.

And finally, tonight’s featured recipe (pictured at top):

Lemon Coconut Layer Cake
I have a friend who loves coconut cream pie. I’m not a big fan, so I’ve never made one. But when I saw a photo of a coconut-lemon cake, I thought she might like it, so I gave it a whirl. The original cake was 6-layers, I just couldn’t fathom that, so I reduced it to a 4-layer cake. Layering is easier to do if you use pie pans instead of cake pans. This eliminates the need to cut each cake in half to achieve thin, even layers. This cake works best if made the night before. Refrigerate so the lemon filling stays firm. And shredded coconut covers any number of baking sins.

Coconut Cake:
1/4 cup vegetable oil
½ cup butter
1 ½ cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 cups sifted flour
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
13 oz coconut milk
3 eggs, separated

Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 9-inch pie pans

Cream the butter in a mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually add the sugar and beat until very light, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in the egg yolks, blending well.

Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt and add to the creamed mixture in 3 parts, alternating with the coconut milk, and beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Add the vanilla and beat to thoroughly combine.

In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff, and then gently fold into the cake batter. Divide evenly and pour into the pans, spreading to the edges. Bake until a toothpick inserted into one of the cakes comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Cool 15 minutes. Loosen and invert onto racks to cool completely.

Lemon cream filling:
2 egg yolks, beaten
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 cup water
1/2 cup lemon juice
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon butter

Combine the egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch, water, lemon juice, lemon zest and butter in the top of a double boiler set over, but not touching, boiling water. Cook, stirring, until thick and creamy, about 5 or 6 minutes. Cool thoroughly before spreading on the cake layers.

Okay, so all the recipes for lemon filling wanted a double-boiler. I started with one, but after 5 minutes of stirring and not thickening, I changed over to a saucepan and whisked it for 5 minutes while it boiled and thickened and had no issues with it burning or sticking. High altitude may have been the reason for my original troubles. Water boils at a lower temperature here, so the double boiler may not have offered enough heat to thicken the sauce.

Butter Cream Frosting:
3 cups confectioners’ sugar
6 tbsp butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup coconut milk
2 cups shredded coconut

With a mixer, mix together sugar and butter. Mix on low speed until well blended and then increase speed to medium and beat for another 3 minutes.

Add vanilla and milk and continue to beat on medium speed for 1 minute more, adding more cream if needed for spreading consistency.

To assemble: Place first layer on cake plate, bottom side up, spread with a third of the lemon filling, sprinkle with coconut, place next layer, bottom side up, repeat and again with the third layer. Place fourth layer, top side up. Frost and garnish with more shredded coconut.
***********
That’s it for this week. On Monday the full dinner menu and shopping list will post and it will be a Valentine’s dinner if you need ideas. Happy Valentine’s Day! – TaMara

    I made these Roasted Banana Bars with Browned Butter Pecan Frosting for my office one time and people went absolutely frickin’ nuts for them. Technically, they’re “light,” but really the only substitutions are nonfat buttermilk, Neufchatel (1/3rd less fat) cream cheese, and cutting them very small.

    There are some things I cook only in the winter. I make stock, for instance, and then use it to make soup.

    Sadly, I’ve had to stop making sweets. We just eat them and get fat.

    @IowaOldLady:

    Sadly, I’ve had to stop making sweets. We just eat them and get fat.

    This is one of the upsides of working in an office of 20+ people — I can bring most of the sweets in and they’re gone by the end of the day.

    If you really miss them, there’s a great book called Small-Batch Baking that has recipes for things like 6 cookies (instead of 24-36, which is what most recipes make). It’s really handy if you don’t have an outlet for distributing extra baked goods but would still like some occasionally.

    @IowaOldLady: When I make cookies, I make a half batch, bake six, shape the rest into cookie balls and freeze. Then when I want cookies, I bake another 6. Repeat until gone. Usually takes a couple of weeks.

    I like cookies fresh out of the oven, instead of the cookie jar, and it keeps us from eating an entire batch in one sitting.

    raven

    February 7, 2014 at 8:44 pm

    “Stranger in Paradise” is a popular song from the 1953 musical Kismet and is credited to Robert Wright and George Forrest. Like all the music in that show, the melody was taken from music composed by Alexander Borodin (1833 –1887), in this case, the “Gliding Dance of the Maidens,” from the Polovtsian Dances in the opera Prince Igor. The song in the musical is a lovers’ duet and describes the transcendent feelings that love brings to their surroundings.[1] Later versions were mostly edited to be sung by male solo artists.[2]

    Yes!

I got to work with producers and writers and all kinds of people who made me look smarter than I really am. … I’m also proud to say, this is a union show. And I have never worked with a more professional group of people in my life. They get paid good money and they do a good job.

She’s been confiding in me because of the experience I had with Kate, but she isn’t ready to tell the rest of the family yet. And of course this means I need to start getting screenings NOW and not wait until the recommended age.

    If anyone is still reading about food in this thread, I threw hot Italian sausage, onions, garlic, tomatoes, green chiles, black beans, and hominy together and am calling it stew. So far, so good.

    I’m planning the sweets I’ll bake for the next flea market sale.
    So far, white chocolate ginger cookies (with freshly grated ging) and an experiment I’m calling the Devil’s Own Brownie. Dark Chocolate Chipotle Brownie with Raspberry Sriracha Glaze. And a gluten free breakfast pizza, escarole, caramelized onions and bacon.

    @ruemara:

    And by “flea market sale” you mean you’re going to bag some of them up and bring them on the train to sell to drooling Juicers at the meet-up, right? :-)

    Arising from an extended nap, refreshed the BJ page and, still groggy and unfocused, quickly glanced at the screen and promptly misread the headline on the post as

       Friday Recipe Exchange: Sweetbreads.

    “Hm,” thought I, “that’s a bit off the beaten track for the cooks and gourmands here.”
