So yesterday was the last day of the Tour de France (congrats Alberto Contador) and thus the last day of the Tour de Fleece. Of course, as could have easily been predicted from last year, I didn’t spin nearly as much as I thought I would. I ended up spinning one skein of sock yarn [...]
Apparently my petpeve for being late doesn’t transfer over to bloging Daring Bakers chalanges but here goes…
The June Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Jasmine of Confessions of a Cardamom Addict and Annemarie of Ambrosia and Nectar. They chose a Traditional (UK) Bakewell Tart… er… pudding that was inspired by a rich baking history dating [...]
I’m a day late for posting with Daring Bakers this month but such is life I suppose. The May Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Linda of make life sweeter! and Courtney of Coco Cooks. They chose Apple Strudel from the recipe book Kaffeehaus: Exquisite Desserts from the Classic Cafés of Vienna, Budapest and Prague by [...]
The April 2009 Daring Bakers challenge is hosted by Jenny from Jenny Bakes. She has chosen Abbey’s Infamous Cheesecake as the challenge. Now lets note – I don’t generally like cheesecake. It’s not the texture that I don’t like, it’s the fact that it has cream cheese in it and me and most cheeses don’t [...]
I’m back again, kind of. My life has been really crazy lately but in short I am on medical leave from Sarah Lawrence (I should be going back in the fall). I flew back to Portland last Thursday morning and am just kinda hanging out at home. So yea, that’s where I’m at right now. [...]
.I somehow slipped into the rabbit hole that is the end of the semester mixed with coming back home mixed with being lazy at home which lead to a sheer lack of posting, but I’m back! My flight from New York to Portland was ok. We were 45 min late getting out of the gate [...]
Its that time of the month again (and no, not that time) – Daring Bakers posting day! This month’s challenge is Caramel Cake with Caramelized Butter Frosting by Shuna Fish Lydon and was hosted by Dolores of Culinary Curiosity, Alex of Blondie and Brownie, Jenny of Fory into Food, and Natalie of Gluten-a-Go-Go. My cake [...]
I interupt this normally fiber arts related blog for your monthly dose of Daring Bakers news.
This month our challenge was to bake a pizza like “A Real Pizzaiolo”. The requirements were pretty easy this time: Make the same crust (there was a gluten free option), toss the dough (remember you are a real pizaiolo), have [...]
So maybe it’s becuase I’m in school, or maybe it’s just that my reading comprehension was just horrible at the time but today is the posting date for The Daring Bakers. Of course I didn’t exactly realize this until this afternoon – thank god this month’s recipe was straight forward and fairly quick. This month’s [...]
For the readers of my blog who don’t know already, I am an avid baker (and cook in general). When I was younger I used to want to be a chef but then somewhere between the age of 12 and 14 I realized (smartly) that that would be way too much stress for me. From [...]
