What's for dessert? Share your random sweet treats here :-)

I made apple crisp using 3 of the heirloom apples I got in Maine last weekend.

The tart and crispy King of Tompkins County apples were the winner in flavor over the Grimes Golden, which were rather bland after the slight honey-ish taste. Served with Tillamook Caramel Toffee Crunch ice cream with a drizzle of the salted caramel sauce I got at the Fryeburg Fair.

Tart Tatin 4” , just the right size for one.


And a 7” Tart Tatin for sharing…but not too many people :grin:!
My preference is for a very dark caramel as it is less sweet. These are perfect for my taste.

It’s not sweet, but the other day I had a leftover sparerib for dessert. I loved it. I’ll probably do it again, should the occasion arise.

There used to be a fantastic Basque restaurant in Berlin. Its house specialty was a 24-hr braised pork belly with Granny Smith apples and mushrooms.

It was so damn good our table of four had it for our appetizer & split another order for dessert.

Oh. Em. Gee. That sounds amazing!

I believe I used it as the very first cover photo for our Fb WFD group, before one of our members decided to change it somewhat regularly :wink:

I wish I could still find it in my photo library.

ETA: a quick search in our group provided the photographic evidence :partying_face:

Apple galette, just about perfect today. I used two large “Ludicrisp “ apples. This is a new to me apple, very juicy, not sweet, a fine eating apple with a” light” apple taste.
I was not sure how this would bake up, but it did the job admirably. Served with a bit of sour cream and an espresso.

Thank you, it is just delicious…if I do say so myself. One of my sons also partook of the galette and also declared it delicious…he’s only mildly biased!

This is a terrible picture of my half-eaten dessert, but I still wanted to share. This was a lilikoi, orange, and tiger’s blood shave ice with haupia cream on top that I had last night at a spot near my place. They shave the ice so fine that it almost feels creamy–not quite as creamy as ice cream, but not like anything you’d think was made from ice either.

We have that exact pi(e) dish. Or actually, Spawn2 has that exact pi(e) dish but it lives with me and not with them.

My ex at one time knew by heart (geek alert) pi to the twelth decimal, and as a gift for his mother he had the handle of a plain stainless pie server engraved with it. Would be a perfect companion.

Spawn2 had that beat by a country mile! Their 8th grade math teacher had pi on all four walls of the classroom, and they memorized it to over 100 places. When Mrs. ricepad asked how, they just said they broke it down into phone numbers! That’s why we gave them the pi(e) dish in the first place. I don’t know how much they remember now, 20 years later.
