Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

I would settle for these home made poptarts though ._.

Recipe for Mini Homemade Pop Tarts
makes 24 (12 of each flavor)

You'll need:

Pie dough
homemade or store bought, chilled

Fruit filling
1 cup hulled and chopped strawberries
1/2 cup blueberries
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons honey
S’mores filling
3/4 cup Nutella
3/4 cup marshmallow creme

Egg wash
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup heavy cream, plus more for brushing pastries

Royal icing
1 egg white
11/4 cups powdered sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Sprinkles, for decorating

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Combine fruit filling ingredients and 3 tablespoons water in a medium pot over medium heat; stir. Gently mash berries with the back of a wooden spoon and simmer, stirring frequently, for 30 to 40 minutes, or until filling has thickened. Let cool.

3. Cut chilled dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll 2 pieces into equal rectangles about 3-by-8 inches. Fill a piping bag with Nutella and a second piping bag with marshmallow creme. Onto one of the rectangles, pipe rows of Nutella 1/2 inch apart. Pipe rows of marshmallow creme on top.

4. To make the egg wash, whisk together egg and heavy cream. Using a pastry brush, carefully brush egg wash onto dough between the rows of filling. Gently lay the second dough rectangle over top and press around each mound of filling. {Tip: This is the same method used for homemade ravioli.} Cut 1-by-11/2-inch rectangles with a pizza cutter (you should have 12 tarts) and press the back of a fork along the edges to seal. Place tarts on one of the prepared sheets and brush lightly with cream. Cut 3 tiny slits in the top of each tart. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Place on wire racks to cool completely. Repeat the process with the remaining two slabs of dough and the cooled fruit filling to make 12 fruit-filled tarts.

5. For the icing, in a medium mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat egg white on medium-high speed for 2 minutes, or until light and frothy. Add powdered sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, until mixture is thick and smooth. Add vanilla and beat for 1 minute more. Spread icing onto pastries with an offset spatula or your fingers. Top with sprinkles.

Why am I even playing this game anymore? I mean, why did I complete H2H Empy and not even bother buying the expansion? Oh my god! ( @-@) Insomnia cookies!

Canadians! Lend me your ears!

I need to call this place in Canada, its in Quebec, looking for some shim shingle products. The info on the shingles had their fax number, I reverse found what I think is their phone number. I want to call them but do I have to speak french???? The product label we pulled off the shim pack is in english and french. I don't speak french...>_<

If it's in english and french you should be ok... That said it is Quebec so no guarantees.

parlez vous anglais

Might be the phrase you are looking for but I haven't had to speak any french in nearing a decade so I could be wrong.

Yeah parlez vous anglais
