recipes i want to try one day

here's my favorite tomato sandwich recipe:

toast the bread

mayonnaise the inner side of each piece (so both facing-sandwich sides have mayo on them)

gigantic slab of cream cheese on the inner side of one piece of bread (this is the base piece)

thick sliced garden tomatoes with a pinch of salt lemon juice on top of the cream cheese

medium sliced cucumbers, also with salt and lemon juice on top of the tomatoes

put top piece of bread on

grow a bigger mouth because the sandwich is enormous

eat

Really nice recipes. Every hour.

in october 2021 i had such a transcendently good piece of pumpkin pie [with] a dense texture. i got obsessed with trying to recreate it every fall for the next three years. anyway, i finally nailed it. here's the recipe- pumpkin pie with orange zest and cardamom whipped cream

Recipe text:

PUMPKIN PUDDING PIE with ORANGE ZEST & CARDAMOM WHIPPED CREAM

(makes -3 pies)

2 ½ cups sugar

15oz can pumpkin puree

2 eggs

½ tsp baking soda

2 cups flour

2 tsp baking powder

½ tsp ground cinnamon

¼ tsp vanilla

pinch of salt

2½ cups milk

4 TBSP butter (melted)

1 orange

1 tsp powdered sugar

1 cup heavy cream

2 TBSP powdered sugar

1 tsp cardamom

pinch nutmeg

pumpkin pudding pie with orange zest:

preheat the oven to 325°F

prepare the pie crust (that's another recipe's job- either find a scratch recipe or buy a pre-made dough or graham cracker crust)

blend 2½ cups sugar, pumpkin puree, eggs, and baking soda in a large mixing bowl (if using a mixer, blend with a paddle attachment)

add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt; blend until well mixed

add the milk and melted butter, whisk until well mixed (if using a mixer, blend with the whisk attachment)

pour your batter into the crust, filling right up to the edge (the mix will be more liquid than solid, but it will rise/solidify in the oven)

bake at 325°F for 55 minutes

remove from the oven and let it cool

top with sifted powdered sugar

zest an orange over the top of the pie (microplane if possible but regular zester is fine; have found that the most aesthetically pleasing version is to peel the orange and then finely dice the peel but that's a hassle!)

whipped cream:

put your metal mixing bowl and whisk in the freezer for at least 15 minutes

whisk powdered sugar, cardamom, and nutmeg together in bowl

add heavy cream; whisk until stiff peaks start forming
