That sounds good. What recipe did you use?

At the time I was attened, my school had no hispanics, 5 asians (4 were church refugees from Laos), 3 black people (2 were mentally challenged students adopted by a family with 15 mentally challenged adopted kids) and 1 jewish person. And it was Catholic enough that people got out of school for 2 hours on Tuesdays to go to "church school",

ETA: the 1 remaining asian, 1 remaining black person were both from interracial marriages, weirdly...

The one in Oprah magazine, which I always feel the need to say how much I like it even though I hate Oprah. Anyway, it had less flour and less sugar, and the recipe said to make it in the blender, which means that the cleanup took way longer than making it.

I cooked and now my house it hot. That makes me not want to do the clean-up. I need another person here to do the other half of the work. t /whine

Here is what I have learned: Getting over the sweating-like-a-stuck-pig aspect of doing dishes while the oven is on means that it suddenly feels WAY cooler in here than it did this afternoon.

have you still not put the a/c in?

I only use it in my room at night. It's not really that hot out anyway.

I like Oprah magazine too. Don't suppose you want to share that recipe, do you?

I am debating getting Chinese food delivered for dinner. I'm not sure I am in the mood for Chinese, but at least there is no cooking involved.

Umm, that looks good. Must try.

ION, my neighborhood resembles a very colorful war zone. Pride parade is over, and as far as the eye can see it's multicolored trash and rubble. Plus a guy locked in a porta-potty and a girl in a rainbow wig passed out in a large planter.

Sure!

Cherry Clafouti

2T unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more for greasing (I melted the butter in the pie plate while the oven was pre-heating, FYI)
2 c fresh (or frozen, unthawed) cherries, pitted (I used blueberries)
1/3 c granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 c whole milk
1/2 c all-purpose flour
1/4 t salt
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

1. Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 9-inch, deep-dish pie plate. (Mine was a regular pie plate and it was fine.) Fill with cherries.
2. In a blender, combine sugar, eggs, milk, flour, salt, and butter until smooth. Pour batter over cherries in prepared pie plate.
3. Bake until puffed and golden, about 30 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar. (I didn't have confectioners' sugar, but it was still good.) Serve hot.

My oven is crapola, but mine took an hour to cook -- it was really obviously puffed and golden at the end.
