New year's eve dessert

This New Year's Eve special Baslock dessert was prepared by Brian and Carolyn.

Chocolate crunchy caramel tart!

Note: I guess this got stuck somewhere along the way. I sent a picture this evening and then the post command and thought a different picture was going to be posted tonight. I need to find out where the other picture is now.

I spent time in the kitchen this morning putting together two apple pies (one each for the Proulx dinner Thursday, and for the Sherlock's gathering here on Friday) and some baked apples for our family dinner this evening.

The house smells so good now!

Dessert: baked stuffed apples

There was an Utterli image here but that service has long since gone by the wayside. I found this post looking for the recipe and decided to add a current image. (updated 10/7/12)

The 'before' baking look:

A good seasonal dessert that is easy to make: Bake stuffed apples.

When they come from the oven nice and warm, the vanilla ice cream just melts all over. Delicious!

Conversation turns

Where do some conversations turns come from?
Have you ever followed a conversation and found an unexpected turn?
Such that you asked yourself: Where did that turn come from?

This weekend, PodCampers preparing for Boston 2 were talking in email about the schedule; how many sessions we could have, how they would be arranged. A good discussion on logistic details. Need to be prepare for this one. Expecting at least 3 times more people than we had last year. Last year (also the first year) expectations were just to have one. Now, a year later, many other PodCamps have been held. This was the original, it should be good (i.e. better than last year). Can't have folks coming and finding a disorganized mess. And then the conversation took a left turn. Left most of us standing. Wondering where that came from.

This has been known to happen at home too.
Why after being married for so long does it matter that the socks are inside or out?
How did we get there?
Oh, my t-shirt was inside out on Friday.
So what has that got to do with the socks?
Does it really matter?

One answer to this question can be found here.
