The summer before I started this
blog, I began experimenting more in the kitchen. Without an official
outlet, I wrote some brief posts on my mommy-blog. I decided that I
wanted to copy them here as part of my cooking/baking record.

So I was just getting ready to go to sleep and was thinking about my
upcoming bookclub meeting...and thinking about what books I might want
to suggest for us to read next.
And I realized that
many of the books on my to-be-read list are cookbooks (especially since
many cookbooks these days seem to be full of narrative, memoir, photos,
rather than just recipes). But I don't think most of the girls in my
bookclub are into cooking.
So then I thought, what
about a bookclub centered around cookbooks or memoir-y/recipe-y books?
Where each month (or two), we choose a book and . . . well, read it of
course, and also commit to trying some recipes?
Doesn't that sound like fun??? And what books should/would be on the list??

Tried this recipe for homemade graham crackers yesterday. They are delicious, but were a total pain-in-the-butt to make. Hubby loves them, so I rescinded my initial "Never again!" but I did tell him that I would only make them by special request.

I know this is not a cooking blog
...but this weekend I made homemade bagels, and I just had to write about them! I love a good cooking challenge, and from the moment I read the recipe on Smitten Kitchen's website, I really wanted to try making them. So...I did!


I couldn't find high-gluten flour, so I had to make due with bread flour to which I added some vital wheat gluten. And I realized after it was already mixed in that I had mis-measured the yeast. And we didn't have onion or garlic flakes, so our "everything" bagels were limited to poppy seeds, sesame seeds, and salt. But everyone seemed to enjoy them...and how fun to have homemade bagels on a Sunday morning! =)
