My sister and I stopped by this place called Pockets, after she picked me up from the train. We had planned on making chicken wings but it was too late to marinate and get them all ready so we decided to make them for lunch the next day. This place was really good, and apparently very popular with the Chicago PD. There were 3 tables of them when we walked in and 2 more undercover cops came in after us!

Mickey’s Diner (Picture to come) was in many movies, most recognizably Mighty Ducks I, II, III. Last time I was in the twin Cities to see my boyfriend he mentioned it to me and I was like ooooooo. So this time we were planning on venturing into St. Paul for the Winter Carnival, so I said Lets go to Mickeys Diner. It was great!! The food and atmosphere were so much fun! The whole experience was a blast and I’d love to go back again!! Check it out if your around, stop in for a malt, or one of their special sandwiches!

Homemade Reese’s peanut butter cups
 |
|
Prep Time: 10 Minutes
|
Ready In: 1 Hour
Servings: 12 small peanut butter cups:
|
|
Ingredients:
|
12 mini cupcake liners
3/4 cup Milk Chocolate chips (or semi sweet if you prefer)
1/2 cup creamy natural peanut butter + 2 generous Tbsp to add to the melted chocolate
|
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
a pinch fine sea salt [if your PB is already salted, it's optional to add more]
|
Directions:
| 1. |
Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30 second intervals until smooth. Add 2 generous tablespoons of peanut butter and stir to incorporate. Let cool for 5 minutes. |
| 2. |
Line a mini cupcake pan with mini liners. Place a heaping teaspoon of melted chocolate in each mini cupcake liner and spread it all over the place with the back of a spoon. repeat with all 12 liners. |
| 3. |
Place the cupcake tin into your freezer and allow it to harden. |
| 4. |
Meanwhile, stir together peanut butter, vanilla, salt, and sugar to form a paste. Make sure you knead in all the ingredients. |
| 5. |
Divide peanut butter paste into all 12 liners, pressing down gently to make sure the paste goes everywhere. [I took a a heaping teaspoon and rolled it into a ball, then flattened it and placed it into the liners] |
| 6. |
Top with heaping teaspoon of chocolate [melt it again if needed], spreading carefully so that none of the PB paste can be seen. |
| 7. |
Chill in fridge/freezer for at least one hour. |
|
|
I made them again! This time they looked more like the Reese’s you buy in the store but they were greasier than the first time, but on the upside I used bakers chocolate instead of milk chocolate chips and they didn’t melt as easily! These reese’s remained hidden in my Grandma’s freezer until my Aunt, Uncle and Cousin arrived so they could have some!

whole lemon tart
 |
|
Prep Time: 15 Minutes
|
Ready In: 3 hours
Servings: 1 pie/tart
|
|
Ingredients:
|
1 partially baked 9-inch (24-cm) Great Unshrinkable Tart Shell, or your favorite sweet tart shell
1 average-sized lemon (about 4 ½ ounces; 130 grams), rinsed and dried (a regular lemon will make a sharper, more bitter tart; a Meyer lemon, however, will really make this tart sing)
1 ½ cups (300 grams) sugar
1 large egg
|
1 large egg yolk
1 ½ tablespoons (12 grams) cornstarch
1 stick (4 ounces; 115 grams) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
|
Directions:
| 1. |
Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven 325°F (165°C). Line a trimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and put the tart shell on the sheet.
|
| 2. |
Slice the lemon into thin wedges, remove the seeds, and toss the lemon and sugar into the container of a blender or food processor. Blend or process, scraping down the sides of the container as needed, until the lemon is thoroughly pureed and blended with the sugar, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn the mixture into a bowl and, using a whisk, gently stir in the whole egg and the yolk, followed by the cornstarch and melted butter. [I actually just use the food processor for this whole mixing part, beating the other ingredients in until smooth.] Pour the filling into the crust but be sure to leave 1/4 inch between the top of your filling and the top edge of your crust.
|
| 3. |
Slide the baking sheet into the oven and bake the tart for 20 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 350°F (180°C) and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling, lightly browned and set. Don’t take the tart out until it is clearly set, however — you’re looking for a slight jiggliness with no suggestion of liquid underneath. Transfer the tart, still on the baking sheet, to a cooling rack and allow it to cool for at least 20 minutes before removing it from the pan. The tart is ready to be served when it reaches room temperature.
|
|
(Greenspan says the tart is best served the day it is made, but, if necessary, it can be kept in the refrigerator overnight; bring to cool room temperature before serving. I, however, love it cold, and have kept it in the fridge for up to a four days, after which, it was no more but certainly hadn’t gone bad yet.)

Crust recipe below, tart will follow in my next post
the great unshrinkable sweet tart shell
 |
|
Prep Time: 15 Minutes
|
Ready In: 3 hours
Servings: 1 pie/tart
|
|
Ingredients:
|
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup confectioner’s sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
|
1 stick plus 1 tablespoon (9 tablespoons; 4 ½ ounces) very cold (or frozen) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 large egg*
|
Directions:
| 1. |
Pulse the flour, sugar and salt together in the bowl of a food processor. Scatter the pieces of butter over the dry ingredients and pulse until the butter is coarsely cut in. (You’re looking for some pieces the size of oatmeal flakes and some the size of peas.) Stir the yolk, just to break it up, and add it a little at a time, pulsing after each addition. When the egg is in, process in long pulses–about 10 seconds each–until the dough, which will look granular soon after the egg is added, forms clumps and curds. Just before you reach this stage, the sound of the machine working the dough will change–heads up. Turn the dough out onto a work surface and, very lightly and sparingly, knead the dough just to incorporate any dry ingredients that might have escaped mixing. Chill the dough, wrapped in plastic, for about 2 hours before rolling. |
| 2. |
To roll the dough: Butter a 9-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. Roll out chilled dough on floured sheet of parchment paper to 12-inch round, lifting and turning dough occasionally to free from paper. (Alternately, you can roll this out between two pieces of plastic, though flour the dough a bit anyway.) Using paper as aid, turn dough into 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom; peel off paper. Seal any cracks in dough. Trim overhang to 1/2 inch. Fold overhang in, making double-thick sides. Pierce crust all over with fork. |
| Alternately, you can press the dough in as soon as it is processed: Press it evenly across the bottom and up the sides of the tart shell. You want to press hard enough that the pieces cling to one another, but not so hard that it loses its crumbly texture. |
| 3. |
Freeze the crust for at least 30 minutes, preferably longer, before baking. |
| 4. |
To fully or partially bake the crust: Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter the shiny side of a piece of aluminum foil (or use nonstick foil) and fit the foil, buttered side down, tightly against the crust. And here is the very best part: Since you froze the crust, you can bake it without weights. Put the tart pan on a baking sheet and bake the crust for 20 to 25 minutes. |
| 5. |
Carefully remove the foil. If the crust has puffed, press it down gently with the back of a spoon. Bake the crust about 10 minutes longer to fully bake it, or until it is firm and golden brown, brown being the important word: a pale crust doesn’t have a lot of flavor. (To partially bake it, only an additional 5 minutes is needed.) Transfer the pan to a rack and cool the crust to room temperature, and proceed with the rest of your recipe. |
| Do ahead: The dough can be wrapped and kept in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 2 months. While the fully baked crust can be packed airtight and frozen for up to 2 months, the flavor will be fresher bake it directly from the freezer, already rolled out. |

EMPANADAS
 |
|
Prep Time: 10 Minutes
|
Ready In: 12-15 minutes
Servings: 8 Empanadas
|
|
IngredientS:
|
2 cups unbleached white flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
Suggested filling: 1 medium banana, sliced plus about 1/4 pound jack cheese, in thin slices
|
1/2 cup water (more, if needed)
4 egg whites
|
Directions:
| 1. |
Combine flour and salt in a medium-sized bowl. Make a well in the center. |
| 2. |
Pour in the water and stir until reasonably well combined. You should have a soft, supple dough. Add a tiny bit of additional water, if it is too stiff. |
| 3. |
Turn out on a floured surface and knead until smooth (5 minutes). |
| 4. |
Divide the dough into 8 equal parts, and roll each one into a small ball. Set the balls aside while you prepare the filling ingredients. |
| 5. |
Roll each ball of dough into a circle approsimately 5 inches in diameter. Place a couple of cheese slices near the center and cut a piece of banana into several small strips on top of the cheese. Lightly brush the edges of the dough with water, and fold the dough over the filling as you would with a turnover. Crimp the edges securely with a fork. Set aside, and repeat until you have 8 empanandas. |
| 6. |
TO SAUTÉ: For every 4 emapnadas melt 1 tablespoon butter in a heavy skillet and sautŽ over medium heat for about 5 minutes on each side. Serve hot.
TO BAKE: Preheat oven to 375°F. Arrange the empanandas on a buttered baking tray, making absolutely sure they are securely closed. (If the cheese creeps out during baking, it will burn.) Brush the tops lighlty with melted butter and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Serve hot. |

I went to the Bayou (117 South Butler Street Madison) with a friend tonight. I had never been there and neither had he. We both ordered Po-Boys, mine shrimp and his catfish (i think) He also ordered the Jambalaya ( I think now I’m getting it confused with Gumbo) but it had rice in it and was pretty good. Overall the meal was good. The waitress screwed up and gave me my Po-Boy dressed (with shredded lettuce, tomato, pickles and red onion) when I asked for it Naked (plain) and gave me normal fries instead of sweet Potato Fries. It wasn’t all that busy but apparently a couple at a nearby table ordered the exact same thing as we did except her’s was dressed and mine wasn’t, hence the screw up. The drinks (we both had a beer) were served in plastic glasses, which when you expect to lift up a slightly heavier glass to drink could be dangerously messy!
Overall it was a decent experience, with a great atmosphere, and good food! I think I’d go back!!

My day yesterday was just bad. So I found a lemon to be quite fitting. Although my sister and I LOVE to eat lemons by themselves like people eat oranges.

I think this turned out ok, none of us had dessert but I asked the Waitress if she could bring over the samples so that I could take a picture, she didn’t seem as miffed as I expected her to! This was the cheesecake, no idea how it was but I do know that I dont like BD’s Mongolian BBQ as much as I like Hu Hot or Flat Top Grill.
I went to the BD’s in Burnsville MN. Which isn’t far from the Mall of America. The selection of meats, and veggies were okay, not amazing, but nothing looked bad. But the sauces just didn’t meet my expectations! They also burned my noodles and other stir-fry veggies, which really made me sad! I might try the BD’s in madison sometime but when Hu Hot and Flat top are on my side of town it wouldn’t be my first choice in Mongolian BBQ!
