The Periodic Table of...


I came across this periodic table designed by Andrew Plotkin (2003). I was so amazed at the way the table was designed and how he described it as a scientific and rigorous approach to patisserie. (Smart Right!)
He sells the poster of the periodic table at Cafepress.com for $15.00.


The Periodic Table of Cupcakes 

 

I saw The Periodic Table of Cupcakes at http://www.womansday.com/Articles/Recipes/Dessert-Recipes/Periodic-Table-of-Cupcakes.html, it's pretty neat. If you go to their site and click on any cell you will get a recipe. I think I would of done better in chemistry class, if my teacher taught either of these two periodic tables.

White Chocolate Rice Krispy Treats




 I made these for my family the other day and they were so yummy...I have always made these, just like the recipe has always been. But this time, I made my own marshmallows and added white chocolate to the list of ingredients. Rice Krispy Treats I have made for gosh knows how long, I'm pretty like everyone else. I don't think I can ever go back to the way, I had been making them. Also for a change, I sprinkle them with powdered sugar. The first reaction I got from my kids was, "powdered sugar". After they tasted them, they were sold. They told me that they were the best Rice Krispy Treats ever, I thought so too. I want to say it was because of my really good homemade marshmallows I'd made and I think a small percentage it was, but the white chocolate I added, I'm sure is what sent them over the top.
