One Batter, Four Muffins
There on her counter, sitting on one of her pretty china
cake plates, was a big golden muffin, glistening with sugar. One of her glass
bowls sat upside down over it like a dome.
Slowly, carefully, she lifted the bowl. Leaned down, took a
little sniff.
Blueberry. He’d found the blueberries she’d bought the other
day and used them in the muffin. Though given its perfect proportions it seemed
almost sacrilegious, she broke off part of the top, sampled it.
It tasted every bit as perfect as it looked.
He’d baked her a muffin. From scratch.

“The muffin, Luke.”
“The meaning of the muffin?” God, she smelled good, and he
realized the scent of her mixed with the yeasty smell of bread
would fuse
together in his head.
“Its meaning, in fact entire purpose, is: Eat me. Did you?”

9 ways to use up leftover pumpkin
Her trio of pumpkins waited on a bed of
newspapers on her kitchen table. She'd
already used a portion
of the largest for Lulu's dessert.
It only waited to be carved into the appropriate design.
She would make pumpkin bread, she thought,
as she began on the second.
And pie, cookies.

There’s more to pumpkins than spooky Halloween decorations.
Instead of wasting these wonderful winter vegetables,
re-use them in these
sweet or savoury recipes.
_______________________
"Want me to dump the guts for you?"
"Dump them? How would I make a pie?"
"With a can." His brow furrowed as he watched her slide chunks of pumpkin into a large bowl. "You
mean you actually use that stuff?"
"Of course. Where do you think they get the stuff in the cans?"
"I never thought about it. Pumpkin factory."

Guaranteeing a second date while on a first date
“This is all ammunition, Cart. All ammo. You want to be able to order a nice bottle of wine.
Oh, and after dinner, if she says how she doesn’t want dessert, you suggest
she pick one and you’ll split it. Women love that. Sharing dessert’s sexy.”

She smiled. “Look how cute you are in your smarty-pants. Now why don’t you order dessert,
so I can pretend to be self-righteous and not—then eat half of yours?”
They lingered. She’d forgotten what it was like to have a meal with a man she could have
long, twisty conversation with. One who listened, who paid attention—whether or not
he was thinking about the possible bonus round at the end of the evening.
He made her think, she realized. And entertained her.

Amazing Brookie Recipe
“Let me be the first. And I picked this up at the bakery.
Have you had their brookies?”
Have you had their brookies?”
“No. What are they?”
The Perfect Hope

I’m going to cut right to the chase – this right here is literally the most amazing brookie
recipe EVER! As is usually the case with my recipes, it’s seriously simple to make.
But the good stuff doesn’t just stop there, oh no.
This beauty starts with a luxuriously buttery cookie base that’s
packed to the rafters with chocolate chips and is topped off
with an intensely rich and gooey chocolate brownie.
I’m telling you now, life does not get much better than this!

Summer Desserts
All of Summer's talent was focused on the creation of the finale, the exquisite mix of tastes and textures, the overall aesthetic beauty of the bombe.
The mold was already lined with the moist cake she'd baked, then systematically sliced into a pattern. This had been done with templates as meticulously as when an engineer designs a bridge. The mousse, a paradise of chocolate and cream, was already inside the dessert's dome.

Happy Easter!!!
His mother wanted him to come home for Easter dinner. He’d intended to go, to ask Abra to come with him. He’d been ready for it, primed for it—the family event, with Abra in it, the big ham Alice would bake and his mother would insist on glazing herself.
The baskets, the candy, the colored eggs.
The tradition of it. And the comfort of it.

It was a good day, though he ate enough candy that the idea of waffles for breakfast made him a little queasy. But he ate them anyway, and put everything aside to enjoy the moments.
His father in light-up bunny ears that made Selina belly-laugh. The pleasure on his grandmother’s face when he gave her a pretty bowl filled with mixed spring bulbs in fragrant bloom.
Waging war with water pistols against his brother-in-law and accidentally (mostly) shooting his sister dead in the heart when she opened the terrace door.
Surprising Abra with a vivid green orchid because it reminded him of her.
They feasted on ham and roasted potatoes, tender asparagus and Abra’s herbed bread, on eggs deviled out of their colorful shells—and more—in the formal dining room. Candles flickering, crystal winking, the sea singing its siren song against the rocky shore made the perfect backdrop for the very good day he’d predicted.

On Nora's Birthday, let's go to the kitchen
"What the hell is apple brown betty?"
"It's delicious, that's what the hell it is. Go sit down, give me a minute and I'll prove it.
"It's delicious, that's what the hell it is. Go sit down, give me a minute and I'll prove it.
She fixed the dessert, served it in the living area.
"It's not sex,' she said, "but it's a nice end to a meal."
He took the first spoonful. "Where has this been all my life?"
"I learned to make it for my father. It was a favorite of his."
'"A man of good taste."

A cross between bread pudding and apple crumble, the Apple Brown Betty is a humble dessert made from day-old bread and sweetened fresh fruit (sometimes with berries instead of apples).
In honor of National Apple Betty Day, we're serving up a batch with fresh whipped cream tonight! For the best betty, we consulted SAVEUR contributor Marion Cunningham, author of The Fannie Farmer Cookbook (Knopf, 1990). She passed this along with the advice that you won't need the lemon juice if your apples are flavorful.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NORA!
