That’s how excited I was about what I’m about to tell you next. (That probably gives you an insight into how “exciting” life is these days.) I made bread last night.
And it was fantastic! It even looks fancy. And tastes… superb!
The recipe is Scali Bread from King Arthur Flour. I find …keep reading I [perhaps foolishly] spent most of yesterday afternoon baking. I made four batches of muffins, a batch of icebox cookie dough, and a double batch of chocolate chip cookies. (OK, I only baked up part of the chocolate chip cookies, and then spoon-dropped the rest onto a cookie sheet and stuck them in the freezer, …keep reading (What this blog post has to do with the pictures I’ve included.) I’m not sure if this is a universal reaction or not (because I respond strangely to cold medication), but you know that feeling you get after taking a dose of OTC cold/cough/flu medicine, that strong compulsion to go to sleep? I’m totally experiencing that …keep reading [Yes, I finally uploaded some pictures to Flickr, but no, I don't have time to blog about them just yet. Sorry.] So, like most people at this time of year, I am feeling like there are way too many things that I’d like to do, and not nearly enough time in which to do them. For …keep reading It's a good thing I don't buy them very often. I’m guessing I won’t garner as much sympathy if I say that I probably brought it on myself. Did you know that almost every hobby I have (with the exception of sleeping) aggravates my elbow? True story. Knitting, sewing, embroidery, playing the piano, even playing video games. And let me tell you, I don’t really …keep reading The last time I had coffee (and a significant quantity of caffeine) was September 4th, 2008. Why did I give it up? It wasn’t even a fully conscious decision at the time. I thought maybe I’d try cutting back a little. Didn’t want to set myself up for failure. The internet had me scared that …keep reading Some things I’ve bookmarked recently:
Time to share some things I’ve bookmarked recently, since grilling season is coming to an end for many people (not for those of us with a hard-lined gas grill two feet from the kitchen door):
In case you were wondering, last Friday was one year of being caffeine-free (with a few exceptions). Who would have thought I could last that long? After discovering a new blog today, I’ve decided to throw the ice cream attachment (for the KitchenAid mixer) into the freezer tonight. It should be all nice and cold for …keep reading … pesto. … tomatoes (because Caprese salads look so yummy, but not liking tomatoes and basil pretty much means you’re eating Mozzarella cheese, which, while delicious, is not a salad). … the color red. … zucchini, because they are an excellent addition to stir fry, if you don’t let them get squishy. … strawberry ice cream. … real Greek yogurt …keep reading Some things I’ve bookmarked recently:
True story. I did wake up several times and panic about where I was (I kept thinking I’d missed my stop by 15 minutes). So, Friday night I quilted up the mini quilt (which will be in the mail tomorrow) and then went to buy groceries for the potsticker party. I learned a couple of things. …keep reading Tuesday night I pulled out my new yogurt maker and decided to give it a spin (there’s no actual spinning – just a warm water bath). I definitely need to find a better, easier, faster way to prep the milk, because my way was much too long, awkward, and messy. Regardless, eventually the 2 pints …keep reading Last night, I was hard at work on one of my summer goals: spend more time in the hammock. Grueling, I know.
I was also hard at work on some embroidery, which I can only briefly mention because it may or may not be for someone who may or may not read …keep reading |
