History month: Blueberry muffins

This month is history month. In this month we share old dessertscienceprojects. Today it's time for blueberry muffins. They were made somewhere last month. They are all gone now, obviously. But they had to be shared. Behold: Blueberry muffins.

This post does not in any way mean that this scientist forgot to post this. Or that this scientist forgot to take pictures while making them.

Desserts around the World - The Netherlands

I know, I live here, all my desserts were desserts from The Netherlands.

But look at this yummy chocolate cake with almonds!

It might not look very pretty, but neither does your face.

Desserts around the World - Texas pt. 4

In a perfect world. all desserts would be tasty, delicious and just all around wonderful. But sadly, we do not live in a perfect world. We live in a world where people cook up horrible things and still dare to call them dessert.

For a traveling scientist exploring the fine desserts of America, the brownie is not only a milestone, but a delight. Unfortunately, this is not a brownie. Do not let the picture deceive you. This is some sort of dirty sponge dipped in chocolate syrup and served with whipped cream and ice cream.

DESSERT MISSION FAILED

Booo.

MERRY CAKESMAS!

Christmas is about of a lot of things, most of them not exactly christmasy, and sometimes you have to remind people that Christmas is about one thing: Jesus's birthday. And how do we celebrate birthdays? With cake!

Last night, our traveling scientist celebrated Jesus with some proper American cake. Being so American and all, you'd think Texas, the most American state in America, would have its own version of it. But in a sad twist of fate, the Texans look to the east when ordering this most popular dessert. We can give you:

NEW YORK STYLE CHEESECAKE

Our scientist examined the cheesecake to find the New York bit, but to no avail. Our conclusion: New York Style just means "absolutely fucking massive cheesecake".

DESSERT ACCOMPLISHED!

SOPAPILLAS

Sopapillas are a fried pastry usually served with powdered sugar or honey, and in this case with some ice cream on the side. JEALOUS?

MERRY CAKESMAS! or as sopapillas would say: ¡FELIZ NAVIDAD!

A picture post of failure

Sometimes you try something new with GREAT success, sometimes you try something which results in failure. If I had planned on making a rice pudding with barely baked bread on the sides and uncooked bread on the bottom, then this would have been a success! Sadly, I was going for a rijstevlaai. A Dutch dessert that is very delicious. It is still very delicious in raw and uncooked and smushy form, but it would've been nice to have it perfect! 

Here is a picture by picture report on how it went wrong, while thinking it went perfect!
