Location: Bastrop, Texas | It was like Santa stopped by my place over the lunch hour when I saw the mail lady putting that package in my mailbox.
I ran out to it like a little kid and I think I scared the poor woman half to death, mainly because of the drool....that plus my barking Rottie, Neva. Now I have cherry kuchen to eat for dessert tonight. It arrived intact and partly frozen.
I'm lucky that you aren't living nearby, because sure as hell I would need a gastric bypass with someone of your talent and generosity feeding me.
Anyway, all kidding aside, thank you very much! A critique is forthcoming. For the rest of you chefs out there, I am offering my gustatory expertise free of charge.

You have to be a smooth talking, slick talking, sexy man with a baritone voice and a way of pulling at heartstrings. Not everyone possesses my talents. I was born this way, honey. |

LOL he's so full of crap. Actually we were discussing the things we do during a Polar Vortex and I said I was baking kuchen. He started bawling and carrying on so I told him I'd send him one. It is kind of a dying art. My Grandma taught me how to make it years ago and I never tried it until after she passed away. The Polar Vortex made it handy for mailing kuchen, I didn't have to worry so much about it thawing out.  |

I make it pretty standard as far as the northern German way is. Maybe its the same as your talking?
I make a sweet bread for the crust with a custard filling, fruit and topped with a butter/sugar/cinnamon crumble. My grandma used tons of different fillings besides the typical cherry, peach, apple...she also used to make prune (which is what I'll make next for Timbercreek), cottage cheese and minced meat. I think it was typical to use whatever they had for left overs and make a dessert out of it.
Dr. Hotty Pants hasn't checked in. Maybe my kuchen killed him off or has him laying on the floor holding his gut. |

You have a girlfriend and you look like the picture you posted??? OMGosh is she desperate?
JK....I've seen Dr. Hotty Pants. Met him and everything. I wasn't hot enough that he remembers but one of these days we're going to run into each other again and I'm going to attack him with hugs and kisses. He's going to wonder who the hell is the freak? |

If I can figure out how to mail this stuff to warmer climates without getting wrecked you'll be the first person I'm sending it to. Maybe if Amy is heading your way I can send some with her.
The last 2 I mailed only took 2 day delivery and both destinations were sub 0 temps. I froze it to a crisp -30 degrees thanks to Mother Nature and sent it on its way. When thawed its pretty goopy stuff so I don't quite know how to mail it successfully. |

I bet if you give him kuchen first, then attack him with hugs and kisses he would not mind one bit!  |

Just saw that too. Either way, they are sugary carbs, and you can't go wrong with that! EVER! Now I have to stop at the bakery in the morning and get some:) |

Location: Bastrop, Texas | Just checking in. I ate 2 pieces.....1/3rd of the kuchen. Mine was cherry. It will be down to 1/2 by bedtime, because I am malnourished and need a kuchen snack before bedtime.
I was accused of being a flirt on BHW for whining about starving by a certain someone. |
