Happy Halloween!

Well, my cure for the summertime blues is our upcoming Gluten-Free Outing to Kennywood Park, near Pittsburgh PA, August 1st 2010! E-mail chandramh@aol.com for info and such.

Meanwhile, I’ve been so busy I’ve lost track of time. My latest project isn’t food related, being an all adult Theatre On Ice ensemble — but it hasn’t stopped me from cooking and eating fabulous gluten free food!

This is what I ended up with after my poor angel food cake died. The devil made me do it!

…literally. Onto the floor. Straight out of the pan.

I made an angel food cake from scratch. The instructions say after baking to turn the pan upside down onto a metal funnel (which I don’t own) or a bottle, to cool. It wouldn’t fit on the first bottle I tried, so I went for a smaller-necked bottle (Bard’s beer! LOL!). I turned the pan upside down. The cake fell out, knocked the bottle off the counter, and went splat on the floor.

I threw out the cake, washed the pan, and drank the beer.

So sad… I don’t have any more egg whites in the carton, and not enough whole eggs to try again.

Decided to try Betty Crocker chocolate cake mix in my “cream canoe” pan to make chocolate Twinkies. They’re baking now.

In the midst of baking for a fundraiser tonight (dessert for 100 people!) I found I had mistakenly mixed up a batch of chocolate cake batter that I didn’t need (what I needed was chocolate with cinnamon and cayenne, and I had forgotten to add them). So I quickly made a dozen cupcakes and then, while I was waiting for the cupcakes I really needed to get done, I decided to fill and frost these a la Hostess.

Aren’t they cute?

Two Eat N Park restaurants in two days. Do you know how peculiar that feels, when I generally don’t set foot in a restaurant unless a) I’m traveling, b) it’s a VERY special occasion, or c) Mo drags me (or talks me into it).

Fried perch, calamari, onion rings, and hush puppies!

I woke up this morning with a migraine. I went back to bed until 3:00 p.m. and still had the migraine. Finally, I took some narcotics and got moving, because I’d promised to do a Fish Fry for dinner, and I had people counting on me.

Gluten-Free Hamantaschen

Yesterday was the Jewish holiday of Purim. Maybe you’ve heard the saying about Jewish holidays — they have a theme: “They tried to kill us, we survived, let’s eat!” Well, if ever a holiday really deserved that description, it’s Purim. This holiday is based on the Book of Esther (and if you don’t know the story, you can find a pretty good synopsis on Wikipedia).

The traditional Purim food is a pastry called Hamantaschen. It’s triangular, because the villain, Haman, purportedly wore a triangular hat. So we get to eat his hat. Oy vay.
