  Chocolate Mascarpone Tort This... this tort was absolutely amazing.  I brought it to a church function and everyone was amazed by it.   I like making mascarpone with cream cheese and cream, and adding some chocolate to it was great. Why did I make this?  I made it because someone had given me a can of Danish butter cookies.  I'm sorry, but those things are nasty.  They're made to last until the next coming of Christ. But, surprisingly, they make really good crust.  Did I have enough cookies?  Of course not.  What to do, what to do.  Well, saltines go very well with chocolate and some day, I'll make a post about that as well.  A good friend showed me, and it's amazing, too. So, crust made from Danish butter cookies and saltines, with cream cheese, cocoa and cream.  What could go wrong?  Nothing. Absolutely nothing.   You can get the recipe for this at The Good Plate .  Enjoy!

 I’m doing something new here. I want to tell you about the newest recipes from The Good Plate . A new recipe comes out every Friday, and I’ll always link directly to it. What I want to use this space for is everything that doesn’t belong on a recipe page: why I made it, what I was thinking about, what went wrong, what surprised me, and the occasional blooper. So let’s start with this week’s recipe: Air Fryer Chicken Crisps 👉  Air Fryer Chicken Crisps This one came out of not wanting to waste something that usually gets thrown away, and wondering whether the air fryer could turn it into something genuinely good instead of just “acceptable.” It turns out it can. The full method, timing, and why it works are on The Good Plate . This space is where I’ll talk about the rest of it.
