A pretty good quickbread, and if you calculated how easy it is to prepare, it is great.
In this recipe, you are instructed to sift the flour - maybe it requires the fluffiness that comes from sifting? The recipe is simple - flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and beer. After in the pan, you pour melted butter over the top (recipe specified 1/2 cup, I used about 3T).
We had left-over beer from a party - and this was a good use. I was surprised at how well the bread rose, and it tastes OK. We used a local pumpkin beer, perhaps the bread would be tastier with an ale or dark beer.

For a month, my daughter has been remembering the Cream of Wheat she was served in a German school when she was in 2nd grade. She asked me to recreate that special meal for her birthday breakfast.
Despite my well-honed google skills, I couldn't figure out how they prepared this in Germany. Out of desperation, I sent an email to Luisa Weiss, who has both a blog and is author of My Berlin Kitchen. She was so kind to reply almost immediately, suggesting this recipe as very close. The cream of wheat is cooked in milk, with sugar and vanilla. After it thickens and cools slightly, sugar and cinnamon are sprinkled on top, and about a tablespoon of milk is poured on top.
It absolutely hit the mark. My dear daughter, who turns 14 today, started the day with a big smile on her face, and her tummy full of a delicious creamy breakfast.

I followed the basic ratios in this recipe to prepare my own curry powder. I found the resulting curry good with excellent depth of flavor but perhaps needing a bit more zing. The reviews of this recipe on food.com suggest some changes to make it more authentic. But if you, like me, just don't want to use your 2- year old curry powder, this is not a bad set of guidelines.

Simple guidelines, but complete. That is, this recipe tells you how to adjust for altitude, to prick the bottom of the egg to prevent cracks, and how to adjust for different yolk textures.
I am staying in a small flat with a tiny kitchen for two weeks. I needed a protein-rich breakfast to help reset my clock, and bought eggs, but forgot butter. This recipe saved the day, and boiling gives me fewer dishes to clean.

Simplicity itself... Pieces of tuna are rolled in toasted sesame seeds (I used a combination of white and black), and seared over high heat. Instead of Canola oil, I used peanut (higher smoke point) and just as I added the tuna, I spiked in a bit of toasted sesame oil.
When searing fine tuna, be careful to not over cook. I've found its easier to give a picky person a bit of extra cooking than risk the disappointment of over-cooked fish.
