Mango Caramel Quarktorte:

Invalid Link Removed

Think mango caramel cheesecake...except that the "cheese" layer is made using a variety of yogurt called quark. Very moist, soft and they included at the very bottom a layer of chocolate with something like rice crispies inside. Between the chocolate and cake layer there was raspberry jam.

excellent/10

I bought quark from an int'l foods store near me (a lot of Euro foods there)...May need to get some and make a poor man's version lol

I've bough plain quark a few times. For those who've never had it, think greek yogurt but replace the tang in GY by a mild cheesy flavor.

You should be able to find a fair number of recipes for this item because it is quite popular here.

They sell quark at a good bit of the grocery stores by you. I ate it almost daily while I was up there. Believe it was loblaws where I got it most often

Update on white girl junky snacks

Tried the caramel apple and pumpkin spice hostess cakes, pumpkin spice twinkies and little debbie pumpkin rolls.

Pumpkin twinkies: basic twinkie cake with pumpkin flav creme. The creme didn't have a strong flavor at all. 3/10 pass!

Apple hostess: great 8/10
Pumpkin hostess: got better with each one i ate: 7.5/10

Pumpkin rolls: packed with creme and sweetness which is usually great but very artificial tasting - gut killa 6/10

Caramel Apple Cupcakes from Hostess

Invalid Link Removed

These were pretty decent. The caramel apple flavored cakes are pretty lackluster, but give you a decent aftertaste. The creamy filling is good, but not strong enough to provide the full flavor of the cake itself. The cake needs to be re-done and stronger in flavor.

6/10

Hostess Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes:

Invalid Link Removed

These were solid. Good pumpkin outer cupcake, and the vanilla cream filling is on point. You get hints of nutmeg and cinnamon, but not strong enough to please a true pumpkin fan. The puree of the pumpkin in the cupcake could be stronger, but then again this is a generic hostess cupcake. We cannot expect it to be epic like a bakery. If you are a pumpkin fan, definitely worth a shot. The cupcake was softer then the caramel apple which was also a bonus.

8/10

Thanks to mkretz for giving me one of each to try out.

One of my favorite classic pastries. This one had the thin crispy dough that I like (honestly even thinner is best), a thick layer of ricotta like vanilla cream, and the classical sugary top glaze.

Aware thy-self:

Cliffs:

"On Monday, the chain will debut the Grilled Cheese Stuffed Crust Pizza: a dish that features cheddar and mozzarella cheese stuffed into its crust.

The difference between this new pizza and a more traditional stuffed crust are the cheese, bread crumb, and melted butter that top the crust, producing a crunchier texture reminiscent of a grilled cheese sandwich. "

"...It's flatter than the traditional crust, with a crunchy topping of breadcrumbs, cheese, and butter.

It's as if someone mixed Pizza Hut's breadsticks with the coating of a mozzarella stick, and put it on the crust."

Chocolate Cake:

Invalid Link Removed

Thick ganache layers were truffle like. Swiss chocolate. Not much else to say. quality/10 #basic
 
Brahs, I know that a lot of you like eggs...

Two items featuring these recently came into my life:

Look up Okonomiyaki and Omurice. I am never having american or french omelettes again...
 
Ricotta Juniper Berry Tart:

Invalid Link Removed

Ricotta base was reminiscent of a silky smooth cheesecake; good balance of sweet + cream flavor components. Berries were juicy and mildly tart. Dough layer was thin, moist, and brown sugar cookie like. On point.
