Way more support than my bra gives me…

Well, okay. I can assure you I didn’t think there would be this kind of response.
Let me first just say thanks to all of those who de-lurked. I really wish you would de-lurk more often. It’s always nice to know that people are out there reading my little blog. Also, thanks to the non-lurkers who also either posted or just sent me a private email. I am truly overwhelmed (in a good way) with the support.
Second, let me say to all of you who are telling me not to let the negativity get me down. The negativity was really just the straw that broke the camels back…or my back in this case. The time, the cost, not really knowing if anyone cared if the blog went away, the burn out, and the negativity were all factors. If I stop blogging, it simply isn’t because of the fact that people were mean to me. It’s not my style to just let the crazies get to me. But, like I said, there are other factors.
I’ll be honest in saying that I am still kind of blog soul searching so to speak. I don’t want to rush to the decision. I don’t want to say I will stay and then half-ass it and not do much. And I don’t want to go and then pull a Heidi and Spencer (are you watching that train wreck…I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here, some how we are sucked into it, I am so much dumber for doing so) and try and come back.
While soul searching though, I made this really yummy, Summery tiramisu…using my favorite of flavors, key lime and raspberry. I made a standard version using a 8 by 8-inch pan but then also did parfaits. I really liked the look of the parfait version. And with the leftovers I made little shot glasses filled with the filling and raspberry sauce. Then cut the ladyfingers in half, lengthwise, and used those as dippers.
This is light, refreshing, and…no bake!
Thanks again, for all your kind messages.
Peabody

Key Lime-Raspberry Tiramisu

Raspberry Jam Sauce:
12 ounces frozen raspberries
6 TBSP sugar

Key Lime Simple Syrup:
¼ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup water
zest of two key limes

3 4.40-ounce packages Champagne biscuits(or lady fingers)

Key Lime Filling:
3 cups heavy whipping cream
8 ounces Mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
½ cup powdered sugar
3 TBSP fresh key lime juice (if you can find)

1 cup fresh raspberries for garnish

Use a 8-x-8-inch pan.

Cook frozen raspberries and 6 TBSP sugar in saucepan over medium heat until mixture resembles a jam and is reduced to 1 cup, stirring frequently, about 15 minutes. Cool jam mixture. Push through a sieve to get a sauce-like consistency.
Combine sugar with ¼  cup water and lime zest in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat, and cool to room temperature. Strain out the zest before using.
Using and electric mixer, whip the cream until stiff peaks form.
In a mixing bowl, fold 2/3’s of the whipped cream into the Mascarpone cheese, along with the powdered sugar, and key lime juice. Blend until cream is fully incorporated.

Lay the lady fingers at the bottom of dish. Brush the layer with Key Lime Simple (about 1/3 of it)  followed by the Raspberry Jam Sauce.
Spread 1/3 of the cheese mixture over the lady fingers. Scatter 1/3 cup fresh raspberries on top of the cheese mixture. Repeat the procedure until all of the lady fingers and cheese mixture are used. Spread the reserved whip cream over the top of the tiramisu. Allow the cake to set, about an hour. Garnish with fresh berries. Makes 10 servings.

To make Parfait style: Break up 4-5 lady fingers. Put about 5 pieces at the bottom of a clear glass of your choice. Brush with syrup. Add raspberry sauce. Pipe in Mascarpone filling. Top with a little more raspberry sauce. Add raspberry. Repeat till you hit the top of your glass.

    No, you’re right – it isn’t just the negativity that can get to you with blogging. It is a ton of work, often for no other reward than a few dozen comments from people you don’t know and will never meet (or, in my case, no comments…:P)

    Those of us who are loyal readers would of course be saddened to see you go. However, your sanity is what’s most important 🙂 I wish you all the best, Peabody. And my thoughts and prayers are with you.

    Here’s another thing for you. Take this as a compliment, because it’s meant to be…

    As much as I love looking at your pics and your food, I really read your blog for the entertainment. While I love baking, I confess that I’ve never made one of your recipes, and maybe never will (although I’ve got the pumpkin brioche recipe stashed away for a rainy day…). The fact is, you’re a great, clever, interesting writer, and I’ll miss you if you stop. You’ve got a talent. And I’m guessing someone who’s that good at something like writing needs to keep writing for her own peace of mind. Have I talked you into it yet??? 🙂

    Hope you stick around.

    Another lurker coming out here. Peabody, I think you’re an absolute riot! Love this place (have done from the get go), love the fact you say simply say it like it is. In fact to be honest as delicious as your recipes are it’s your writing that keeps me coming back. Whatever decisions you ultimately arrive at, (sure I’d miss the laughs) all that really matters is what’s best for you. (Just think what you could do with that spare time, wink wink!) Wishing you every happiness …

    Do what I do… blog when you want to or have the extra time. Don’t put any pressure on yourself to do it.

    I was getting myself overwhelmed by trying to blog regularly, but I just can’t do it. Between my full time job, my business and my beauty sleep, I am busy. However, I truly enjoy blogging and have realized it doesn’t matter if I blog once a week or once a month. So if I manage to do one a week, I’m happy… if its once a month.. also happy.

    Lastly, try not to take the negative comments to heart. There are some sad people out there who love to spread their misery around. That is what your delete button is for… 😛

    PS… I care about your blog!

    I know I got burnt out from blogging about a year ago. I just quit while I was pregnant and recently started up again. It was beginning to feel more like work than fun. I was participation in too many online challenges/baking groups. A little break makes a world of difference. I never had your following (hell, I never broke 5 comments, heh). Blog when you feel the urge to bake, rather than setting days (which it sounds like you’re doing already) 🙂

    I didn’t comment on your last post because I’m shy even on the internet, but I wanted to say that I really love reading your blog and dreaming of all the things I could make if I had the time. When I do have the time, it’s usually for one of your recipes. Your blog was the first one I discovered and it’s opened a whole new world to me, though I will admit that while I’d like to blog (and even have one set up, unused), I’m afraid of the time drain, so I understand where you’re coming from.

    Also, I’m sucked into Celebrity too – I try to make myself feel slightly more virtuous about it by only watching it at the gym, but it doesn’t work.

Just an idea..I’d rather it not be toned down at all of course, but that’s the selfish part of me. ; ) Also, fyi, you could whip out mac and cheese and have a “lousy picture” (which I don’t think is possible for you)and I’d still find your blog fabulous. : ) This recipe looks great by the way!

As someone who considers herself a very good cook and only an OK baker… you’ve really inspired me. And I used Dorie’s Perfect Party Cake (best buttercream I’ve had since my wedding cake!) from your blog to create a 3-tier Little Mermaid birthday cake over the weekend for my 4 year old niece… which I blogged. 🙂 I will miss your blog if you quit, but I understand the temptation for you.

    I came to your blog a few months ago to make liquoured brownies, but I’ve stayed because of your down-to-earth wit. Too many people mistake good sarcastic humor with negativity. I don’t even want to know what sort of pasty story telling these people find funny. I find I don’t tend to stick with many food blogs regularly, or blogs in general, because, aside from the recipes, there not all that interesting. Sorry to say. Oh sure, I might keep them in mind for a quick recipe search, but I don’t visit them for the sake of reading. In a busy day with all the media content in the world to choose from, something has to make me smile, laugh, to make me come back. If you do stick around, I’ll be reading! But kudos for what you’ve done either way. I know I don’t have the drive to do 1/10 of what you’ve accomplished here.

    Peabody, I do hope you keep blogging. Maybe it would be less stressful if you only posted a recipe when you wanted to instead of feeling pressured that you have to. Do you know that you were the first food blogger I ever contacted? It was about a little less than a year ago and I wanted to make you banana coconut lime bread. I didn’t know if I should link it to you or where you originally had found the recipe…Anyhow you emailed me back right away and told me what to do! I don’t think I told you that I entered that bread in a local county fair last summer (first time I EVER entered one!) and it won the blue ribbon!!! I kid you not!!! Hope you keep blogging!!!

    I could never understand why people waste their time and energy on negativity. Mom always said if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all. I visit your blog regularly and enjoy your posts very much. I hope you keep on blogging.

    Can I just weigh in another 2 cents? Well, no one argued, so here goes.

    I would love, love, love you to keep posting as I love what you write, and the recipes you come up with.

    In terms of the time demands, just one post a week is fabulous. I have had to “unfollow” so many bloggers because they post up every day or even multiple times a day. One simply can’t keep up with this. Just the occasional post like this one, when you are feeling inspired is incredibly awesome and brightens my day as a surprise when I see it. Just my personal plea 🙂 But yes, do what is best for you of course!

    Mu husband and a crew of 6 just sailed our boat up the mid-Atlantic coast. They called me late one night on the Satellite phone, usually reserved for emergencies, to ask where I had stored the Snickerdoode bars I made from your recipe. Please, keep baking and blogging — I need to keep this crew fed and happy (and in awe of my baking).

    I was out of town last week and just got around to reading your recent posts, and I love your blog! Of course, you should ultimately do what feels right to you, but there is just something about this blog that makes it stand out from other food blogs :). I totally get excited when I see there’s a new CCBP post on my google reader!

    I have to admit, I was a little bit put-off by the negativity…

    But I also have to admit that I get that way, and everyone does sometimes; it’s just part of being human!

    Though I do love me some sun, I also love your blog. It’s fun to read, full of ideas and the perfect dose of decadence amidst my healthy blog reading. Keep on truckin’, Peabody =)

    OK, I have to confess that when I saw that you had blogged I did a little happy dance. I know that you might not be back for good but it still made my day.
    I absolutely love your styling and photos. They are simply stunning and equal if not better to many I see in food magazines (and believe me I subscribe to a lot of magazines). The recipe looks great too. I can’t wait to try it.

    Hi Peabody,

    I never comment, but I read ALL THE TIME. Yours is one of my favorite food blogs (I’m behind on my reading, obviously!) and I would be so sad if you stopped. If it’s just too much for you, of course you should – but if it’s about feeling like nobody appreciates what you do, obviously TONS of us do!! Just delete the jerky comments, or set up a mail rule that sifts out anything with keywords like “jerk”, “stupid” etc so that you never even see them. (And to all of the people who wrote those? Move along! There’s lots of internet out there – no need to take time out of your busy day to be an asshole! That makes me SO MAD.)

    Anyway – your photos are AMAZING, and I think I’ve squirreled away every single recipe you’ve ever published. Stick around if it’s still fun for you – if it’s not, drop it like a hot potato, and know that you were well-beloved while you did it!!

    I understand that blogging takes up so much time and energy (I know I’ve cut back alot on how much I do to help keep my sanity).
    BUT, I would miss your blog, your humor, your recipes and all if you were to go away. You would be greatly missed in the food blogging community!

    Of course, being the selfish (^$& that I am, I would miss you bunches!
    And I must say, being told I have given more support than a bra is a first for me…..
    I certainly hope its a large one!!!!

    I’m a bit delayed in following my favorite blogs, and just saw your recent posts. While I encourage you to do what’s best for you, I wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your stuff. I recently cleaned up my blog list, and yours was one of a few that made the ‘check daily’ list. I love you wit and honesty, not to mention your wonderful recipes.
    Best of luck figure things out.

    Hi, Peabody,

    Another lurker here. I’m also a big fan of your blog, and I’m so sorry to hear that people have been being mean and rude to you.

    I don’t want to be too personal, but in a spirit of friendliness and helpfulness– if your bra isn’t giving you enough support, perhaps you have got the wrong size? As someone who has had a heck of a time finding out what fits and what doesn’t (well-endowed and small rib cage, in my case), I know what a difference the right fit can make, and it’s kind of a personal mission with me to get the word out. So I’d like to encourage you to reevaluate your sizing–here are some web pages that might help:

    Check out Cat’s Bra Resource Page:
    http://www.ugcs.caltech.edu/~cat/bra.html

    and the fitting advice at Figleaves:

    http://www.figleaves.com/us/fitting_room.asp?cat=138&txt=3173

    I hope that helps and gets you some physical support, as well as some moral, blog-encouraging support.

    Thanks for sharing what you do!

    Sincerely,
    Sue
