The American's are famous for pie - apple pie, pumpkin pie, banana cream pie....<br />

I vowed to re-do the apple somewhere along the way<br />

Apart from the fake cream, this was pretty good<br />

This was probably the yummiest pie I had. More like a lime cheesecake, it was smooth, zesty and D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!<br />

This pie was perfect to top off a day exploring Yellowstone NP in the snow. Should have ordered ice cream instead of cream, as they love their canned cream in the States (yuck)<br />

Not too sweet, and a good dispersion of pecans throughout. Yum Yum!</p><br />
My only regret is that I didn't get to try Pumpkin Pie. It wasn't pumpkin season, I guess, so I couldn't find it anywhere....<br />
All in all, I think it was a successful quest, apart from the extra 1 or 2kg I carried home around my belly...Lauren Hewitthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01304077354584295349noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331763322506730574.post-79310876413078746752010-06-29T20:30:00.000+10:002013-05-05T21:32:55.999+10:00Central Park, New York<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">

We caught the train to 110th street station, got off singing '110th street' by Bobby Womack, then made our way to the top of Central Park. We started at the top, spent the day making our way down to the bottom. Such a great day, such a beautiful place and it's great that New Yorkers all make good use of the park. Any time of the day you can walk through and feel safe. And there will be people walking dogs, riding bikes, sleeping in the sun, hanging out, playing basketball, softball, just digging this green oasis in the middle of one of the worlds biggest and most craziest cities. </div>

<br />
With a long weekend here in Canberra, I had plenty of time to bake. I started making this in the morning and by the afternoon couldn't wait for it to be chilled and ready to eat! I was craving it all day long!<br />
<br />
This cheesecake uses a basic baked New York base, with a zesty twist!<br />
<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Lime and Ginger Cheesecake</span><br />
<br />
1 x 250g packet Gingernut biscuits<br />
100g melted butter<br />
500g Philadelphia cream cheese<br />
3 tbsp sour cream<br />
140g caster sugar<br />
4 eggs<br />
juice of 3 limes<br />
zest of 2 limes<br />
lime zest, extra for decorating<br />
<br />
1. Grease a non-stick spring form cake tin. Preheat oven to 180 degrees.<br />
2. break the biscuits into a food processor and pulse until you've got a fine crumb. Mix the melted butter into the biscuit crumb. Press into the base and sides of cake tin. Chill in fridge for half an hour<br />
3. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until soft. Add the sour cream and sugar. Beat in the eggs one at a time.<br />
4. Add the lime zest and juice.<br />
5. Pour into the chilled biscuit base, tap lightly to level the filling.<br />
6. wrap the base of the cake tin with tin foil to create a watertight seal.<br />
7. Place the cheesecake in a baking dish and pour 2-3cm of boiling water into the base of the dish, surrounding the cake tin.<br />
8. Bake in the oven for about 50 mins, until set, with a slight wobble in the middle. (I like to let mine brown a little on top).<br />
9. Take out and cool before putting into the fridge to chill for 4 hours.<br />
10. decorate with lime zest curls.Lauren Hewitthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01304077354584295349noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331763322506730574.post-82606709152005097342010-03-03T21:49:00.003+11:002010-03-03T21:53:22.926+11:00Old filmI found a film around the house the other day that hadn't been developed.

So for Xmas, Larry gave me an awesome Spanish Cookbook called MOVIDA RUSTICA. It's based around a guy that retraces his family history, etc. Really awesome photography and great recipes. It focuses on not just 'cook this food', but the whole Spanish lifestyle, the way they structure their meals and so on. <br /><br />So here's my first effort. <br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWKZ-_OUoktz3-H4ooQZggiH01xlg_ohs602PZIXQYvL7sbe_Vhb-d7azLkHF_26GJ0skhJeskXV5bmiLu2aThdLQk59qArq8RmpMztr7oio4Xfl8PH83DqGg_3OkvMOUV4wStH5-inUE0/s1600-h/_MG_3815.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWKZ-_OUoktz3-H4ooQZggiH01xlg_ohs602PZIXQYvL7sbe_Vhb-d7azLkHF_26GJ0skhJeskXV5bmiLu2aThdLQk59qArq8RmpMztr7oio4Xfl8PH83DqGg_3OkvMOUV4wStH5-inUE0/s400/_MG_3815.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427312224815301026" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg-PWSVEEbiSy3-At8rGRFEtrsI240gRD73UMLuroOUa2XuGPIvXjFNFMxHb0hCCC7nBgN9LYlbDkXGgIWn4J_zJOzLArNGVDgFZclEwyVsgiao2e6GpyN0845cBtNlOEz6jMwTYiO4RVH/s1600-h/_MG_3816.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg-PWSVEEbiSy3-At8rGRFEtrsI240gRD73UMLuroOUa2XuGPIvXjFNFMxHb0hCCC7nBgN9LYlbDkXGgIWn4J_zJOzLArNGVDgFZclEwyVsgiao2e6GpyN0845cBtNlOEz6jMwTYiO4RVH/s400/_MG_3816.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427312221864118146" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh63qkQmHy_dcE6NgvhhQ2BuR9PxYaAxE3ZHGjzRuO6Awp46c24PpU2SWZ6u00rAy188ECUS_RU0DOzIZzX4GwvrtllKWXf_ZrqGPHZFDG5kOcCs0scm6AOaW0IjZtXIvXfamrYjwPC5DGf/s1600-h/_MG_3818.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh63qkQmHy_dcE6NgvhhQ2BuR9PxYaAxE3ZHGjzRuO6Awp46c24PpU2SWZ6u00rAy188ECUS_RU0DOzIZzX4GwvrtllKWXf_ZrqGPHZFDG5kOcCs0scm6AOaW0IjZtXIvXfamrYjwPC5DGf/s400/_MG_3818.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427312213930656802" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiy38ETvMe4Aj23VjOgXImo4wNyrnM-QHz20XqnByqlkL9fpp4ua89rUxAFkQ_QqX4U1p1Ka0sjW0d7Waj0Is-kRhXDwS9kk5sYWZtxyb7J1029gBlEVBPVkxdky7em_90tftbmGRr3WKa/s1600-h/_MG_3819.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiy38ETvMe4Aj23VjOgXImo4wNyrnM-QHz20XqnByqlkL9fpp4ua89rUxAFkQ_QqX4U1p1Ka0sjW0d7Waj0Is-kRhXDwS9kk5sYWZtxyb7J1029gBlEVBPVkxdky7em_90tftbmGRr3WKa/s400/_MG_3819.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427312207162519154" /></a>Brown Lifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00623364280347535688noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331763322506730574.post-6250011224897019762010-01-07T21:44:00.001+11:002010-01-07T21:45:59.774+11:00Driving Home<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIhXL_EKDes-jabkxj3Ts3ORfP5yp-ERu7KHrJoeJUCwTRsNbSrretlfVQ1UWvSSuZ6xSwjLrIE3SqfmdZLO24b9e0Gj1CXbwxY1skm6Ndjcqtx4JiOpJNBwa01u4f_skAcpWKtjqzZW1u/s1600-h/IMG_3644.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIhXL_EKDes-jabkxj3Ts3ORfP5yp-ERu7KHrJoeJUCwTRsNbSrretlfVQ1UWvSSuZ6xSwjLrIE3SqfmdZLO24b9e0Gj1CXbwxY1skm6Ndjcqtx4JiOpJNBwa01u4f_skAcpWKtjqzZW1u/s400/IMG_3644.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423947212686534978" /></a>Brown Lifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00623364280347535688noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331763322506730574.post-44800076051059851952010-01-02T23:48:00.002+11:002010-01-02T23:51:11.012+11:00More baking - Sparkling ginger chip cookies<div style="padding: 3px; text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/laurenhewitt/4237094138/" title="photo sharing"><img alt="" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2782/4237094138_fc4b2f9a39.jpg" style="border-bottom-color: #000000; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-color: #000000; border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 1px; border-right-color: #000000; border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 1px; border-top-color: #000000; border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px;" /></a><br />

Baked some shortbread today. Haven't done any baking in a while. It was nice. This is fairly simple to make, and I thought stars were nice coming into Christmas. They turned out nice and crumbly, but still buttery and melt in your mouth delicious.

Endless fun!</p><p>And I love the random pairing you get with the 2 half frame images on the 1 full frame.</p><p></p><p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsXm6eAjAWLcDV2mpcELh8Jed41O2Spxiw-7F_xbzBGcgEctq2QMADzPnhIvR42cZtZztobfz_qXHCmqXxJKBHw4bsv-ZH3ZMg-bTbwNUc7QPsRV0uJwzBGDS9MFFJM-w3UvJNaa1Re6Oj/s1600-h/EEfun_1_22-small.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 215px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsXm6eAjAWLcDV2mpcELh8Jed41O2Spxiw-7F_xbzBGcgEctq2QMADzPnhIvR42cZtZztobfz_qXHCmqXxJKBHw4bsv-ZH3ZMg-bTbwNUc7QPsRV0uJwzBGDS9MFFJM-w3UvJNaa1Re6Oj/s320/EEfun_1_22-small.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375683535872372706" /></a><br /></p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA4hlT7TOtkEWRuPqT2H7jZXFqCsPfg8QmwlKSgYqCZHfWBzGgbp3OFWswB5Gd0N-5yQAMeY6SL1hucG_DPSGHZz9eqaOqwPj3VJVsfMX90Yp9zBkgI4nc7iOhF8Unb84nZbgMzdBKdtb0/s1600-h/EEfun_1_29-small.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA4hlT7TOtkEWRuPqT2H7jZXFqCsPfg8QmwlKSgYqCZHfWBzGgbp3OFWswB5Gd0N-5yQAMeY6SL1hucG_DPSGHZz9eqaOqwPj3VJVsfMX90Yp9zBkgI4nc7iOhF8Unb84nZbgMzdBKdtb0/s320/EEfun_1_29-small.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375683528316468338" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaWSMEFdn6hGCEmbvOUdTVDvczHvsyQ55ssAQdCP-YOJe0ZLgJ6pZ9gBN8nlcqv-I-Idv9AZW3RR0tR6orZaAy5GDFXe37GVXSMOxAPQkoq5x3lClU9C-Zz77eaVGcb6lrCxvWqHxZUXHh/s1600-h/EEfun_1_17-small.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 242px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaWSMEFdn6hGCEmbvOUdTVDvczHvsyQ55ssAQdCP-YOJe0ZLgJ6pZ9gBN8nlcqv-I-Idv9AZW3RR0tR6orZaAy5GDFXe37GVXSMOxAPQkoq5x3lClU9C-Zz77eaVGcb6lrCxvWqHxZUXHh/s320/EEfun_1_17-small.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375683520037266354" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLORKqnDat_AHeS4kW2EPM3pnx8DK28KdX9wVSn9meK2Sg6QRB2hb06yRUBi3Ks0t7JeblwdDZMKJFaLlJ9fpYyWAb0ZqkdKpvIuaX6iO0e2AgsL_gEuV1VmVrANSz4Xtgk6pWOehUDGKf/s1600-h/EEfun_1_16-small.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 239px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLORKqnDat_AHeS4kW2EPM3pnx8DK28KdX9wVSn9meK2Sg6QRB2hb06yRUBi3Ks0t7JeblwdDZMKJFaLlJ9fpYyWAb0ZqkdKpvIuaX6iO0e2AgsL_gEuV1VmVrANSz4Xtgk6pWOehUDGKf/s320/EEfun_1_16-small.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375683515121370194" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtXhSuUuQvvrwZeU0YIKox6qZtUz6snshFKWgta9rojur1hNDx2tc6B_KzdgPIvbTiEduKs-9XSEV827X6rGwUOno1Zi6ZByHiW3r-RcMP4GqE4PtqpeAPG9p5sEN1m0nRahduqQC4JzE7/s1600-h/EEfun_1_03-small.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtXhSuUuQvvrwZeU0YIKox6qZtUz6snshFKWgta9rojur1hNDx2tc6B_KzdgPIvbTiEduKs-9XSEV827X6rGwUOno1Zi6ZByHiW3r-RcMP4GqE4PtqpeAPG9p5sEN1m0nRahduqQC4JzE7/s320/EEfun_1_03-small.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375683508727643266" /></a><p><br /></p>Lauren Hewitthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01304077354584295349noreply@blogger.com0
