Well I made a pound cake (bundt format) for the second time. The first time around I managed to get a bunch of eggshell in in. I’m happy to report that I managed to keep the eggshell out of it this time around. As requested, I am posting the recipe which I found here: Grandma’s …
Let’s see… Monday and Tuesday I worked ALL. DAY. LONG. Then the office manager was back and I worked a half day on Wednesday to get caught up. The cat got her stitches out yesterday and I had to shovel snow twice. It didn’t snow at all last night though. Today I will be paying …
Yesterday evening it started snowing. Then it promptly turned into rain. So, it rained last night and a lot of the snow is now gone. The temperature is about 37 degrees right now. This also left the driveway as one big sheet of ice. The kiwi went out this morning to get the paper and …
It’s been almost a week since I posted about all that snow. As it has been for a lot of places lately, it’s been bloody cold here! I got my bread baked on Friday and then on Saturday I made dinner rolls but I forgot about them and they did the second proof for about …
So, I now have the driveway shoveled (for all the good that does). It’s still snowing. Mark did surgery on the Roomba last night1 and it’s all charged up. It had a test run this morning and now seems to be working just fine. Shasta likes to follow it around. She doesn’t seem afraid at …
The raisin bread I made on Saturday really didn’t come out as well as I would have liked. It was a bit dry and took forever to rise. I’m not sure what causes that although I didn’t have the instant yeast open so I had to proof the active dry that I used. The other …
Well I’m making cinnamon raisin bread today. I was going to make another batch of the hearth bread but I still haven’t received my new pizza stone. Apparently the supplier didn’t tell the Baker’s Catalogue folks that they were closed for inventory. So I am supposed to have it by Thursday. Grrr. I was also …
Well, I haven’t posted in a few days. The websites had a small hiccup and I panicked, thinking they had been infected again. That solved itself by the end of the day – it turned out the host had a technical problem. Then I managed to re-link all the old photos that were on the …
I was in the Christmas mood after getting the presents all wrapped yesterday so I decided to make ginger snaps. I don’t think I’ve ever made them before. They seemed to come out pretty good. The kiwi went back for more after the first sample. I took some pictures that I’ll have to post later.
