Today’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe: French Yogurt Cake with Marmalade Glaze.
Can you guess what these things have in common?
P.S. For the recipe, visit Liliana of My Cookbook Addiction, or pick up a copy of Dorie Greenspan’s “Baking: From My Home to Yours.”


all i can think of is blood red which im not sure how that fits into nickelback but.. :) now, Im curious about the answer…
Ummmmm you love those things? LOL Or you hate them.
PS – my husband used to play in a band that Nickleback opened for when they were first starting out as a Vancouver Seeds band. ;) Chad actually played my hubby's music…and butchered it apparently. Don't tell my husband that I don't mind Nickleback please…he'd be very upset.
Hmmm. I got nothin'. It looks delicious though. I really liked this one.
Frighteningly good? That's the only thing I could think of, although clowns don't fit into that category. This cake does look frighteningly good, though. Yum, yum!
Things you don't like? Your cake looks beautiful, by the way! :)
Things that grow on you over time??
Things that you love?
I have no freakin' idea… lol …and dyin' to find out!
But I do love the rustic feel of your this beautiful slice of yogurt cake!
Absolutely no idea…. Please enlighten us.
Your cake looks great though!!
My guess is that you didn't like the recipe. I'm guessing this because Burnt Sienna was my least-favorite crayon!
Oh, awesome story! Why doesn't the butchering surprise me? Does he rant when he hears a Nickelback song?
Noooooooooooooooooo.
Yay! You're right. Burnt Sienna … ewwwwwww.
Yay! You're right. Burnt Sienna … ewwwwwww.
You are ALSO RIGHT! Awesome.
You got it! And, thanks!
Ohhhhh, I don't think so. You're obviously much more mature than I am. ;)
I think my favorite part of CSI Miami is hearing Horatio's uber-cheesy opening line before the big "YEEEOOOOWWWWW"!!
DH and I love when he repeats things, too. Like "Rebecca, it looks like you didn't like the cake at all. Not at all Rebecca."
Yessssssss. You got it EXACTLY RIGHT. And you could totally hang with me and Jeff and give "CSI:Miami" the MST3K treatment.
Well, it certainly LOOKS good… but we all know that you can't judge a character from the exterior.
Imagine me slowly sliding off my Ray Bans UBER dramatically, "It's the cake… of the future."
You could totally pull off the Horatio voice, too. And the dramatic squint.
Funny post! But so surprised you don't like watermelon! That is very unusual. The cake LOOKS good….

Oh, I'm with you on CSI Miami, and neutral on the others, but I did love this cake. Send it on over.
Things that make you puke? Alternatively: Things that give you the Heebie- Jeebies.
What didn't you like about the cake? It looks really nice, at least!
Even before I read the comments I guessed things you despise. CSI Miami is so bad that we just laugh at it.
I was going to guess that it was things that grow on you… but frankly, clowns just creep me out, so I can't see them ever growing on me. Sorry you didn't like the cake, but that post was well worth it! So fun!
I'm guessing things that you never want to experience a second time.
What's the cost of stamps now?
I thought the yogurt made it a little gummy. And the jam didn't help matters.
Ha! Things I Hate That Other People Love. Close enough.
Thanks! I didn't want to be rude. A lot of people loved this one.
We do, too! And you are totally right.
Oh, I can't stand melons. Is that weird?
Not so much weird… everyone dislikes something. I just thought it was such a highly liked fruit and you are obviously open to quite a lot of flavors. Is it a texture thing?
Oh, I know! Everyone in my family loves watermelon, but I don't like the flavor, the texture, the scent or the sounds from other people eating it. I've tried honeydew and cantaloupe, but I just can't stand melons.
You're too funny. Your photo is beautiful of course, though! I totally agree about the crayon, though!
I love the way you parked that strawberry in the middle of that snowpile of whipped cream…and the crumb texture on your cake…you've done this a few times before, admit it now! LOL…seriously, very lovely.
OK, I didn't look, but I'd have to guess that these are all things that you love.
If so, I'm right behind you, except for the watermelon :)
Your cake looks fabulous.
Oh darn it, I got it backwards :) But hey, we both hate watermelon! yeah!
I cheated and read the comments! You are too funny! Too bad you didn't like the cake, hope next week is better for you. :)
No idea but it sure looks yummy!
