I'm getting a real kick out of seeing how my efforts pan out and that I'm not the only one having issues as the weeks go on.<BR/><BR/>And I learn something from each person in the group. Sometimes it's a presentation idea (seriously, these women are phenomenal at coming up with ideas) or a baking tip or even just the freedom that they feel to substitute willy-nilly (man, who knew I was still such a rule-follower?!)...<BR/><BR/>Welcome and I hope you have as much fun as I am!Jhiannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13961562933937294762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336096338851447197.post-83701999210345780652008-02-10T21:52:00.000-06:002008-02-10T21:52:00.000-06:00So great to have you along!Don't worry if there's ...So great to have you along!<BR/><BR/>Don't worry if there's something you don't like in the recipe, if you're like me you'll replace the icky with the good (which, I admit, doesn't always work out and your cake slides off it's... you get the idea). The recipes often have Playing Around substitutions and such, this week Dorie suggests apple butter instead of apples. D isn't a fan of "apple pie apples" as he grumbles, so apple butter it is.<BR/><BR/>It's funny, but I'd bet most of us are on the shy side.

I like apples, but it would never have occurred to me to put them in cheesecake. And I seldom buy golden delicious; I prefer tart apples. We'll see how it turns out.Dihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01968703151905016369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336096338851447197.post-20575817889653474292008-02-09T10:13:00.000-06:002008-02-09T10:13:00.000-06:00I am the same way, which you may not realize from ...I am the same way, which you may not realize from reading my blog, if you have read my blog. I feel a lot safer spouting off from behind my laptop than I do in real life. But one thing at a time, right?<BR/><BR/>I am so glad you joined us. There are bound to be recipes you may not like. Ill be honest, I am not thrilled with this week's. I love cheesecake, I love apples, but the combo is what bugs me. We shall see. I am procrastinating as usual and may not have it done again till Tuesday. Thats my style. ;)slushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03345724556216377946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336096338851447197.post-55639099503802858132008-02-09T08:08:00.000-06:002008-02-09T08:08:00.000-06:00ok, this was like reading a conversation i might h...ok, this was like reading a conversation i might have with myself and i certainly understand all of your hesitations about joining a group.....i'll be making a apple brown sugar cheesecake today with ingredients I don't even like in a springform pan I had to buy....but i'm so excited about it and I know i'll find someone who will eat it!
