Baking suggestions: What should I cook?

[matgb]

OK, miss_s_b cooked us a lovely veggie cottage pie this evening, with cheap garlic bread using a baguette from Tesco's bargain bin.

So I need to cook pudding after Shrub's gone to bed. I've done loads of steam puddings recently, as well as cookies, muffins, biscuits and bread variants (recipes might get posted on request, I still have the bread recipe in drafts somewhere). So...

Any suggestions?

Preferably not involving nuts (because I'm allergic) or chocolate (as Jennie's allergic). Stuff involving syrup or jam is an added bonus but not essential.

Hmm, that looks interesting. Not for tonight (and we haven't got any bread spare), but maybe at some point.

I have one question though:
1 3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons light brown sugar

What's that in grammes or ounces? I kinda get cups, and we've got some US style measuring cups, but using three different measuring methods, by volume, just confuses me completely.

Why measure by volume anyway? Weird people...

Not sure what the most accurate conversion. I wish more US recipes were by weight rather than volume too but unfortunately they're not.

The recipe was a random googling for an example so you might be able to find one with measurements by volume. :) Mom makes it but I don't know if she even measures...though she does make it heavy on the whiskey at times hehehe

Mom also makes a pear tart that is just f-ing amazing from a Martha Stewart recipe. I don't know if this is exactly it but it looks close

Crud, it has almonds. Ah well

Another thing that Mom makes that's delicious is a vinegar pie. Yeah, it sounds odd but it's great.
