 The heat has struck again here and guess what I decided to do this afternoon? Remove all the weed from the garden! Really a fabulous idea when the temperatures are soaring way above 30 (can’t really tell exact numbers… I don’t have a termometer in the garden) but at least it’s starting to look like...

Looks so refreshing Simone! I agree once you start making ice cream, it is hard to stop! [Reply] 
Miriam/The Winter Guest - July 8, 2010 - 18:19
We’re suffering the scorching heat here too (more than 30ºC yesterday inside the house…) and I wish I had some mangoes at hand right now! [Reply] 
anncoo - July 8, 2010 - 18:30
WOW beautiful mango ice cream. I also like to have some of this too to beat the heat here. I think the best mango is from Thailand and Philippine, then come to Australia and India. [Reply]  Simone (junglefrog) Reply: And then very last in the line of good mango countries is Holland, I am sure… [Reply] 
Asha@FSK - July 8, 2010 - 21:17
Ah! gorgeous photos! And this isn’t fair!! It’s so hot here that I can’t even dream of making ice cream and here you keep posting one after another! {pout} … sigh.. I love mangoes.. I shud make ice cream soon! [Reply] Simone (junglefrog) Reply: Sorry for making your life harder… lol… I will probably stop making icecream now or I will grow two sizes before the summer is over!

Mango ice cream sounds summery and delicious! I could make (and eat) ice cream every day, especialy in the heat of summer. [Reply]

Reeni - July 9, 2010 - 03:30
Mango sounds like a lovely and refreshing flavor for ice cream! It is addicting! Especially when you can mix and match your own flavors – some that are hard to find at the market. Scrumptious pictures! [Reply] 
Soma - July 9, 2010 - 04:43
Isn’t this bliss? We are fortunate enough to get very good mangoes here and in abundance during the season and very inexpensive too. So i have stopped whining about all the varieties I don’t and used to back home in India. Eating mango is an art we learned growing up [Reply] Simone (junglefrog) Reply: I am jealous of your mangoes Soma… really… I remember from being in tropical countries that the fruit is just amazing compaired to what we have here!! Interesting way of eating a mango but I will definitely give it a try (but I will probably manage to still make a mess of it I am sure!) [Reply]

Where did you get those CUTE square ice cream cones or should I say cups? I want some! [Reply] Simone (junglefrog) Reply: I’ve had many questions on the square icecream cones and really they are very common in the Netherlands. We generally use them for kids icecream and I just bought these in the supermarket! [Reply]

OMGosh! What cute little cone cups! The silliest little things bring such pleasure. They are adorable. I have never seen anything like them. I will definitely be making this when I get home. Are you going to post more about your trip? I am just starting to catch up on my readings, little by little – today, actually. It will take a bit for me to catch up on all of your posts. [Reply]

 Remember how we started our pancake adventure around the world with these poffertjes? Then we moved on to Aebleskiver and blini and now it is the turn of Blintzes. The funny thing is that when I looked it up on Wikipedia it actually tells me… that it is the same as blini! But when I...

I didn’t know that there are so many types of pancakes Simone! I think the first couple of pancakes are always too pale, but then the pan reaches the right temperature and the rest usually come out a good colour. I really like your new site. I have a smaller screen and it looks perfect. [Reply]
peter - May 10, 2010 - 12:58
Many cultures share in pancakes and crepes and blintzes. The Greeks have “tiganites”! Make them well, cook with joy and they will taste good and be received with a welcoming appetite. [Reply] Simone (junglefrog) Reply: O I didn’t know the Greeks had a pancake too… Hmm, sounds like we have a new challenge to make! [Reply] 
deana@lostpastremembered - May 10, 2010 - 13:40
Lovely idea to fill a blintz with something savory.. delicious! [Reply] 
Trissa - May 10, 2010 - 14:04
Simmone! You made savoury ones as well – how fantastic. I love the idea of a savoury filling – I must try it next time! And the cream on top of the other blintz?! – well – the more cream for me the better! I loved this challenge – can’t wait for the next one. [Reply]

These are the most beautiful pancake I’ve seen! blowing peachkisses [Reply]
A Canadian Foodie - May 10, 2010 - 14:25
In North America – these are not called pancakes. A pancake is a lot smaller and fatter. These are called crepes in Canada, due to our French founding fathers. But, certainly, so many countries have a version of this great big flat pancake it is difficult for me to tell the difference when I travel… combined with the fact that what I buy may not be authentic, it is really tough. How is this different than a French crepe or a Balkan palacinka? The North American pancake is definitely not foldable. I was so confused to see this word in English and then find a crepe. But, I have learned. Maybe the difference is in the texture from the Blinz to your “pancake”? How do the recipes and technique differ? I find the Balkan palacinka is quite spongy in texture and the French crepe, as I know it, more dry. I would love to have the differences in these ethnic treats explained to me, too! Love that you are doing this cooking tour! [Reply] Simone (junglefrog) Reply: I think here in Holland, we simple just call them “pannenkoeken” or “crepes” which translates into pancakes. I know the ‘pancake’ in the US is the small and thick little one and we just call those “american pancakes”. But as you’re saying; I think a lot of the pancakes or crepes or whatever you call them around the world are fairly similar… Didn’t know there was a Balkan Palacinka… Gotta look that up too! [Reply]
Olga @ MangoTomato - May 10, 2010 - 14:36
those look beautiful! [Reply]
Hannah - May 10, 2010 - 14:56
I’m drooling over here! I haven’t had blintzes in years, and have been meaning to make them for just as long. Thanks for the reminder/inspiration, I’ll put them back on my “to make” list right now! [Reply] 
Valérie - May 10, 2010 - 15:46
Yay, more pancakes! Although it’s funny that the recipe does indeed appear to be pretty much exactly like the one for crepes… But who cares, as long as you get to make and eat these beautiful pancakes? [Reply] Simone (junglefrog) Reply: Exactly! Whatever we call them; as long as they are yummy it’s all good with me! [Reply]
Asha@FSK - May 10, 2010 - 17:11

Like Canadian Foodie said, here in the US pancakes are smaller and fatter, and puffier. Completely different than my blintzes recipe. Now I understand why you kept saying they are simliar [Reply]

A blitz is indeed simply a pancake but what makes it a blitz, in my Jewish opinion, is the filling! I am used to that good old traditional cheese blintz, tangy and not too sweet, smothered under a warm fruit sauce. Or filled with cooked fruit. I would also assume that, like many dishes that have evolved, it is indeed Jewish but brought from Russia with the Jews who immigrated west. According to Claudia Roden, the blintz is in fact of Hungarian origin. But aside from that, yours are perfect! [Reply] Simone (junglefrog) Reply: Hungarian, Russian or Jewish; it was sure tasty and that warm fruit sauce makes me want to go and make new ones straight away! [Reply]

lovely lovely looking tian! glad you went ahead and made this! there are so many possibilities with this! [Reply]
A Canadian Foodie - April 6, 2010 - 13:25
I have never hear of a Tian… until now. It does look beautiful, and the idea sounds tempting… and though you say it is straightforward, it looks like there are too many steps in it for me. I think that is because I am not a fan of orange desserts. I am a fan of creamy desserts and a really good marmalade, though. Love that you took the time to do it even though you missed the challenge date. Personally, I don’t know how you have time to live your life with all of the cooking and writing and photography you do. I have difficulty getting my few posts out and keeping up with others and my list of “to do’s” and “want to make” just grwos and grows… but, I can certainly say I admire your work, your energy and your information – ALWAYS.

I start them early..forget about them for a while as time flies by, then end up stressing to get it in on time at the last minute..a huge mess, cartoonish photos and all.

These blinis look like crumpets we make in Czech Republic http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crumpet. I remember that my mum used to have a special pan with 4 “holes” for them. I have to try to make your blinis to find out if the taste is same! [Reply]

The last time I made blinis was the first time. I made them for our wedding. Buckwheat blinis with creme fraiche and three caviars. I still remember how luxurious they were. I loved them… but they are also a considerable amount of work as I like to see them like yours… similar in size. Thanks for the reminder. I will have to put this back on my appetizer list and try your recipe next. [Reply]

Ok, this look good and everything, but please don’t call these “blinis” becasue they are not. Also, the word “blini” is already plural, no need to say bliniS. Blini look like crepes, period, there is no regional variations whatsoever. If you were to look up crepes, you would not see pancake looking things. Same with blini. The batter use for blini is totaly different as well. These are pancakes and they are not going to turn into blini if you put some salmon with sour cream on them.
