Plum Pockets

After having used about half of our stash of plums from my uncle's garden, I had some more to use up. I found some old pastry dough squares laying about in the freezer, so I thawed them and made some pockets.

I brushed the dough with melted butter, filled it with cut and sweetened plums, and stuck the whole thing in the oven.

Unfortunately, the plums leaked A LOT of juice, and I had soggy bottoms... But they were still yummy enough nevertheless~

Pastry dough squares with a mushroom and cream stuffing, stick in the oven~ delicious!

For the stuffing:
- chop mushrooms into little pieces
- heat some cream over the fire, once it's warm, add the mushroom
- add a dollop of butter
- sift some flour in until the it is less liquid
- season with salt, sugar, pepper and Italian seasoning

An attempt at a rose-flavored cheesecake, with raspberry sauce on top, accompanied by raspberry sorbet. That was a mistake, since it masked the cheesecake's flavor. Although it originally stood out, the rose's taste was not pronounced enough in the cheesecake. To redo one day.

Pics and such of the past and present.
