I’m more of a caudiciform/pachycaul guy and new to growing peppers. I bought these two, which I believe are prairie fire, last month and it’s now putting out peppers. I’m excited.

I made dulce de leche the traditional way, no condensed milk. Instead of using it on cheesecake, I discovered banoffee pie and made it for the first time. Simple but very delicious.

Excited for my Eriosyce occulta and Astrophytum asterias to flower. Can’t believe especially how many buds my Eriosyce is putting out and it’s my first time seeing asterias put out 2 buds at the same time.

I made madeleines for the first time and I completely replaced white sugar with muscovado sugar since it's what I currently have and I don't have a proper oven for baking, just a small toaster meant for toasting bread. Tasted rich and indulgent but also light because of the texture.

I used vanilla powder from Papua New Guinea, browned butter, and marri honey aside from muscovado sugar.

I think not mixing the baking soda with the flour before putting the flour was the reason why some didn't produce a proper bump and the fact that I'm using toaster that is not meant for baking which probably has uneven heating might also be a factor.

Nevertheless, it was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It tasted rich, smoky, and fruity (sugar cane flavor) and I can also still taste the honey and vanilla.

I used sour cream, both EVOO and butter, and muscovado sugar instead of white.
