Not authentically Korean, maybe, but good food.<br /><br />Hanaa,<br />I had the same kind of beginner's luck with buttercream, and the same kind of don't-see-what-the-fuss-is-about reaction. Then I had a series of failures, and am only now getting back in the buttercream groove. (Hope I haven't just jinxed myself). I used to make creme fraiche, but since I've been able to buy Organic Valley, I don't bother to make my own.<br /><br />Gartblue,<br />We have lots of berries, but no durian!<br /><br />ECL,<br />I'm not sure I've ever had boysenberries. That must be another superior Oregon berry. My dad's favorite was huckleberry pie. My mom was always searching them out, but rarely finding them. She must not have known about Montana.<br /><br />Rose,<br />I saw a family tree for a marionberry somewhere on line, and I think the raspberry is one of its ancestors, but maybe not a parent. <br />We should probably all consider each other kissing cousins--but somehow we don't!<br />I'm very happy that you came up with this marionberry recipe, and now one of my life goals is to eat some fresh ones.<br />Love pralines!!!Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13183158217378477758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-31463947602916312372010-08-25T11:29:22.891-07:002010-08-25T11:29:22.891-07:00PS i've just read everyone's postings and ...PS i've just read everyone's postings and i must add that i'm really awed by all of them. <br /><br />when we were in seattle last month i got to taste fresh marion berries for the first time along with boysenberries and humongous blackberries and awesome strawberries and decided that this is really the place for a baker to live!Rose Beranbaumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-76073306707937300682010-08-25T11:09:51.855-07:002010-08-25T11:09:51.855-07:00unless my mind is out of synch since i'm on va...unless my mind is out of synch since i'm on vacation, i believe the marion berry is a felicitous cross between a raspberry and a blackberry, which means the growers of all three should consider themselves kissing cousins (in my humble opinion). and i'm another one who thinks of them as mary janes!<br />i didn't know about ersatz marion berries--for shame.<br />beautiful and informative and of course humorous posting!<br />i know i'm on vacation but i couldn't resist, even in this humid weather, to develop a recipe for pralines for the next book. do you suppose the "word verification" below which is sicke is trying to tell me something?Rose Beranbaumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-52447455019962898712010-08-25T00:34:45.559-07:002010-08-25T00:34:45.559-07:00loved you post marie! i just assumed marionberrie...loved you post marie! i just assumed marionberries would be our state berry--those pesky raspberry growers.<br /><br />i bet boysenberries would be a superb substitution for this recipe.<br /><br />i just got back from a trip to montana, where it was all about the huckleberries! so many delicious berries out there!!evil cake ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09028488030328153196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-25656659926266142232010-08-23T20:53:12.714-07:002010-08-23T20:53:12.714-07:00gosh! ..

I clicked on “Rose’s failed genoise” link and it brought back memories of my first genoise. It was perfect! I thought, what’s the big deal about? My fourth try or so (which was a big deal because I was taking it to a dinner party the next day), was disastrous :o) Your whipped crème fraiche (storebought or homemade, btw?) looks luscious and perfect for this dessert.Hanaâhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15660317268731033542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-80071074243804100592010-08-23T16:20:52.563-07:002010-08-23T16:20:52.563-07:00ב''ה

Or even blackberries. <br /><br />Also, the first time I saw marionberry pie at a grocery store, I wondered why that particular politician got his own pie.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18330020839435220943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-2227113680408603022010-08-23T11:35:02.035-07:002010-08-23T11:35:02.035-07:00This looks so delicious.

I hope you don't still wear it. I'm not sure it would give your patients confidence.<br /><br />Jenn,<br />I'm not as good at multi-tasking as I once thought I was. There are no boysenberries on the horizon that I know of, but I'm sure that Rose could do something fabulous with frozen boysenberries if she put her mind to it.<br /><br />Katya,<br />These marionberry shortcakes are just the thing to eat in a rainstorm!Mariehttp://heavenlycakeplace.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-45410363544525312992010-08-23T07:07:34.750-07:002010-08-23T07:07:34.750-07:00that sounds delicious. i suppose I'm going to ...that sounds delicious. i suppose I'm going to whole foods...or at least to the farmer's market for blackberries, although it's pouring rain here.Katyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04837602358691420117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-7711960632152207892010-08-23T06:08:03.129-07:002010-08-23T06:08:03.129-07:00Marie, lovely post as always.

Whole Foods have the frozen boysenberry (any Rose recipe featuring those? :)). <br /><br />I love that you time the beurre noisette. Why don't you pull up a chair by the stove and do the crossword puzzle while checking on the butter every few minutes? :)Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11717898669803221775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-33593459829014609192010-08-23T05:18:09.666-07:002010-08-23T05:18:09.666-07:00I like the Mary Ann pan, too.

Great (and confused!) minds must think alike.<br />I love Marion berries and miss them.<br />I am proud they only grow so beautifully in my Oregon. I think the Oregon grape is still our state flower.<br />Don't even get me going on our state animal, the beaver. My nursing school graduation pin has a beaver on it, gnawing on some wood. <br />It seems that earlier Good Samaritan graduates pins had a beaver on their pin but he was laying down and was deemed to be a lazy beaver. So they thought it needed changing. I have the busy beaver graduate pin. <br />And you can snicker now!<br />This has nothing to do with your lovely cakes which I wish I could have a taste of. It is just a story I thought would amuse you.Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04616217544023543614noreply@blogger.com
