What a combination, right? Last night I made the dough for the sugar cookies. Here is a pointer – once you are done making the dough, roll it into a ball before you chill it – because other wise you are stuck scraping the mixing bowl for chilled dough. It’s not that much fun, and…… Continue reading Cookies and Onion Soup…
I have been doing a lot of baking, so much so that I have to go to the grocery store and get MORE sugar, eggs, and some heavy cream. That’s right folks – cupcakes and cookies are coming down the pipe line… I already have the cookie dough made. It has been chilling over night.…… Continue reading Sugar…
No one. But tonight was one of those nights where I felt like someone was coming to dinner because we had some good food. I was getting bored, being at home, so I decided to make a small-ish apple pie for dessert tonight. So, I do not have the mini tart pan that I really…… Continue reading Guess Who Is Coming To Dinner…
Happy Sunday morning to you all. I hope your weekend has not been below zero or too snowy. Today I am off to lunch, where I might get a hamburger (only three days until my surgery and I’ll be back to chicken noodle soup in no time…) or a milkshake (both are things I have…… Continue reading Mini Tart Pan, Anyone?
When I am home alone on Fridays, I tend to bake something. This past Friday I decided to make homemade oatmeal cookies with raisins, dried cranberry and dark chocolate chips. My original recipe makes 4 dozen cookies. Who needs that many!? I unless I am baking for a crowd, I usually ‘half’ my recipes these…… Continue reading Friday Nights are Baking Nights
When I am nervous I tend to cook and bake. I was (and still am) super nervous today. I do not like it when the Patriots play the Jets. I do not like it when the Patriots play the Steelers, either – but I am taking it one game at a time. I am not…… Continue reading Football
I cannot wait to bake. Of course I could bake by now, I have more energy. I could probably stand up for an hour – that’s how long it usually takes me to go through an entire recipe and bake a couple of batches of cookies. The point being, who would eat them? I found…… Continue reading I cannot wait to bake…
I am not much of a baker, I must say. I do not do cakes, I have not done too many pies in my day, not many baked goods, well, you get the picture. On Friday I was going a bit stir crazy, so I decided to make some bread. I made the dough, but…… Continue reading I do not bake…
It was quite a Sunday of food this weekend. I made chocolate chip “classic” cookies from the America’s Test Kitchen cookbook… I melted the butter on the stove… I mixed the wet ingredients together: There were a lot of ingredients and things on the counter… this picture was taken after I had put a lot…… Continue reading I made amazing cookies, and Tim made wings
I have fallen right back into one of my old habits during the last couple of days of my vacation. Naturally, I am such a night person. Especially when it comes to reading, writing and blogging. I am so much more productive after 10:30 or 11 o’clock in the evening. However, during the week (when…… Continue reading Old Habits Die Hard…
