Same for me with bronchitis. I had a couple of times decades ago, fortunately not since then.

I did it over 2 days but I would think 4-5 hrs at least. Extra ovens might help but it is a lot of work.
I doubt I will repeat it again very soon but it was worth it.

I made myself dizzy reading recipes. So many variations. I liked this one because it had the caramelized honey in the cake and the frosting. I also considered the one from smitten kitchen but thought rolling out the cakes sounded more work than spreading the batter. After spreading 9 gobs of loose putty into perfect thin circles I think both methods are equally demanding.

What did you do with it all? Comments say ½ recipe better
Skinnytaste has a recipe for high-protein cottage cheese bagels. They certainly wouldn’t ever be mistaken for an authentic NY bagel but they are good and you don’t even know that the cottage cheese is in there.

I agree, half size would be better. I sliced and wrapped many pieces and froze for future visitors.
Almost too huge!

Oh
I didn’t know it would freeze well.
Sounds like something that would be good to have a helper and I don’t really have one!
I know someone newly married with a 1 year old. Her husband works 7 days a week and she refuses to cook or learn how. (She loves to eat!). He’s happy to support her but I think she could prepare one good meal a day! I’m appalled.
It was a hit at the meeting ( two people asked for the recipe)…

I have Boston on my mind. I will try to bake Parker House Rolls this week.

I’m adding the other famous recipe from the Parker House, Boston Cream Pie. I had a slice at the Parker House in the fall of 2018.

I tried Bittman’s Yorkshire pudding recipe yesterday, with 3 eggs, 1 cup flour, (can’t remember how much) milk, drippings, from How To Cook Everything, and they turned out well. Not quite as good as my Mme Benoit recipe, but better than the last BBC recipe I tried

That’s no good. I’m sorry, hope you feel much better soon.

The store bought pie crust didn't fit the pie pan, nevertheless it was delish if not a little wonky.

Here you go…
Barbara’s Carrot Cake
Serves many, depending on the pan you use. It doesn’t work well in a Bundt; too loose. Okay as a 2 layer cake or single layer in a 9 x 13" dish.
Bake 350° 20+ minutes (9x13" about 45 minutes, rotate many times)
Wet mix—lightly mix all together in stand mixer:
1/2 c. applesauce
2 c. carrots, peeled and shredded on medium grater
3/4 c. white sugar
3 eggs
8 oz. crushed pineapple, total, drained and gone through and hard pieces removed. (You wouldn’t believe what I found in the last can I opened!)
1/2 c. vegetable oil
1 T. orange juice concentrate
When mixed together, add
1/2 cup walnut pieces, rough chop
1/2 c. golden raisins
Separately, sift together:
2 c. a.p. flour
1/2 tsp each: ground allspice, freshly grated nutmeg, ground cloves
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
a dash of salt
1tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. baking soda
Mix dry quickly into wet. Pour into baking dish or pans. Cool completely before frosting.
Frosting options:
Cheater’s Frosting—
Mix one 8oz. bar of cream cheese with 1/2 can coconut pecan frosting
Traditional Frosting–
8 oz. cream cheese, 1/4 c. soft butter, 2 c. 3X sifted powdered sugar sifted with 1 T. cornstarch
Lighter Frosting—
8 oz. cream cheese, 4 oz, powdered sugar, 4-1/2 oz. whipped cream
Garnish cake with additional chopped pecans or walnuts if desired.
Enjoy!

Thanks and I’ll let you know when I make it. It will have to be blue cheese and four eggs
I may have replied to the wrong post but thanks again
You’re welcome. If you do that, use 1/4 cup flour and 1/2 cup milk.
