Yes! They taste amazing, just look a little wonky
Wonky! That's a great slang word!
If I didn't know you were from the Netherlands, I would think that English was your first language.
Yep! I use "wonky" a lot! LOL
Okay, so I made an Apple and Blackberry traybake. It's come out pretty flat (which is probably okay, as it's full of apples and blackberries and I am sure it will taste fine.) However, I am wondering if the appearance could be improved by either just dusting it with icing sugar, or, more adventurously, drizzling with some warmed salted caramel (from a jar) and then sprinkling with some toasted almond slivers?
What do we think? Keep it simple and just enjoy with some custard, or jazz it up a little? (Obviously, it is designed to be cut into squares for serving.)

Don't know about the rest of Canada but I use 'wonky' - such a descriptive word!
Really depends on how sweet it is. Really sweet? then I would just serve with custard or maybe ice cream. Apple tart? drizzle some of that caramel and yep, the almonds too.
In either case dusting with icing sugar won't hurt and gives it eye appeal. JMHO

Well Dragn, I thought it best (in the interests of quality control, you understand) to taste it. Turns out it is very tasty indeed (and quite sweet enough), so I am keeping it simple. Taking some to work tomorrow. I'm never really very confident with baking, so pretty pleased with how this turned out.
Warm with vanilla ice cream...or custard, yes.
Yes, wonky is pretty common here in the US as well. Enlglish words that are used regularly in 3 different English speaking countries doesn't always happen!
Well it's just such a useful word isn't it!
Sometimes I am a little wonky when I wake up in the morning!Well it's just such a useful word isn't it!
It's funny, this morning my husband said that the barometric pressure was making him feel a bit wonky today. I never told him about this conversation on the forum, LOL.I had forgotten about the word "wonky"! I used to use it a lot when I lived in the UK.
Cheddar Bay Biscuits Recipe
Copycat Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits are soft, fluffy, cheesy, garlicky, and EVEN BETTER than the originals. Super easy to make in less than 30 minutes!

I found this recipe for copycat Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits. They turned out nicely, though I think I should have gone 425F instead of 450F like the recipe instructed because they were a touch dark on the bottoms before the tops were completely cooked...still very nice though. I added a little bit of old bay seasoning with the butter garlic parsley drizzle (parsley from the garden).
I ate one plain. I served hubby's open-faced with a dollop of homemade sausage gravy and a fried egg on each half. Tasty!

You actually have a better command of the English language than some people I've met who were born in the US and don't know any other language than English--though if you were to ask some folks they might tell you that they "talk American" lol.Well I grew up bilingual, so it's not far off. Thank you for the compliment however, darling
You're welcome!
Today I cut one open and toasted it for hubby's breakfast and put a dollop of warmed leftover steak sandwich mixture (thinly sliced NY strip, sauteed onion, peppers, baby portabellas and a creamy provolone cheese sauce) on each half and topped with fried eggs. He devoured it. I just like them warmed plain.

I once did the Oxford entry exam for the English language studies and scored a 7.9, so I suppose that might be true. Unfortunately my degrees otherwise don't match University level, so it wasn't enough to be accepted.
But my accent is awful (at least in my mind) and very hard to get rid of as in my day to day life I'm surrounded by Dutch people so I do have a heavy Dutch accent. I lost the Dutch accent when I lived in the UK but that's already 10 years ago now and I am back to sounding Dutch again.
