Corned Beef Dinner
We served a home cured corned beef brisket with all the usual accompaniments, including home made Kosher style Dill Cucumber Pickles, and Sour Caraway Rye Bread to our guests.

Kosher Style Dill Cucumber Pickles
I made these on an impulse, 4 days before a planned corned beef dinner. It's anyone's guess whether they'll be even half-sour in so short a time.
Meanwhile, you can look at the results of an earlier effort here:

Home made Torta Ahogada
A Torta Ahogada is, literally, a "drowned sandwich". This one is a bit atypical: a home made bolillo was filled with sliced spicy roast pork, simmered in a thin, slightly picante tomato broth, and heaped with American style, creamy Garlic Slaw. It was super good, too, accompanied by a chilled Cerveza Modelo Especial.
In some ways, it's not too different than a Southern Pulled Pork Sandwich with slaw.

Bread Pudding
A great way to use up stale bread. This was made with a failed Cinnamon-Walnut-Raisin Bread. The results were better than the original.

Sour Cream Apple Pie
What to do with 5 apples, 1 9-inch crust, and some leftover crema?
Make Sour Cream Apple Pie. (Actually, there are a few more things to it than those.)

Apple Pie estilo Las Cuevas
The second apple pie in a week. This one is less excessively juicy (soupy) as I used bread crumbs under the apples and some tapioca in the filling. This one didn't burst!

Angel Biscuits
Light, buttery and soft. You can make the dough up to several days in advance, then roll it out, cut it and bake. Heavenly!
Serve with jam or apple butter; we had them with fried eggs, home made sausage patties and milk gravy.
