FRESH PINEAPPLE TATIN II

For holiday dinner, this adds a beautiful compliment to the dessert.
Here is my photo journal for Fresh Pineapple Tatin II, 2010.

Note to myself:
Slice the pineapple even more thinner.  Arrange the pineapple in reverse image. 
Give that final touch with Maraschino cherries.

MATCHA MILKY LOAF II

This is an attempt in baking the MATCHA MILKY LOAF #1 in 2010.  The first Matcha Milky Loaf was just as successful, but it sunk down during cooling.  This time it stood up tall and beautiful with the same recipe I got from the referenced web site. Angies' regular Hokkaido Milky Loaf  is baked beautifully.
Recipe from:  http://schneiderchen.de/237Hokkaido-Milky-Loaf.html

The important tip with this recipe is to make sure the dough is well kneaded to assure well developed gluten before it goes into 1st proofing.  I added 2 Tbsp of Matcha to the recipe.
