In March I moved in with him, and in April I was offered a job that required we pack our crap and move. In June we moved and started our new jobs, and in August we were married!<br /><br />My job is a good, but very stressful one (at times - I'm hoping that improves). With all that has been going on, I haven't done any blogging - here, or any of the other 5 blogs I run!<br /><br />I have, however, been doing plenty of cooking. And now that cool weather is upon us again, I've been doing a bit more baking as well. I hope to catch up here, and maybe I will try to re-join Daring Bakers.<br /><br />Hope all has been good in your lives!jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13422462308023065350noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548943804076811621.post-11763083253405427122008-04-26T15:31:00.002-04:002008-04-26T15:44:41.894-04:00I'll be BackWell, life has thrown lots of changes at me so far this year - and there's been another one! This is a good one - a new, awesome, job (more details after everything is in writing), and it, naturally, requires another move! I'll be relocating to Cape Cod, hopefully for June 1st. So, in the meantime, this blog is on hold - I simply have too much going on.<br /><br />I hope I don't get booted from Daring Bakers....<br /><br />Friends, I'll be in touch with new contact info soon. Foodies, I hope to see you sometime in June!jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13422462308023065350noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548943804076811621.post-59456707736280668132008-04-08T14:14:00.002-04:002008-04-08T15:16:44.189-04:00Will I ever bake again?I think three people might read this blog - and to those three people, I apologize.<br /><br />After spending the winter being sick, I have now packed my life into boxes, put them in storage, and moved in with my boyfriend while we look for a house to rent. Chaos - my life has been chaos. I fully understand why moving is ranked in the top ten of most stressful life events. Anyway, I wasn't able to do last month's Daring Bakers challenge, but I hope to get back to posting something, even if it is only DB challenges.<br /><br />OK, off to cook something.jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13422462308023065350noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548943804076811621.post-25778980087450618992008-02-29T09:57:00.004-05:002008-06-09T18:40:01.958-04:00It's Been a Bad WinterWow, I haven't posted in forever. This past month has been from Hell - constant illness, cold, dark, wet weather - I have always hated February, which stinks because my birthday is in February.<br /><br />In any event, I am not doing this month's Daring Bakers Challenge. I have been too sick, too busy, and too distracted to spend 7 hours doing something I'm not good at nor particularly enjoy - make bread. Hopefully March will be sweet - all the way around.<br /><br />I have a bunch of recipes to post, so stay tuned.jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13422462308023065350noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548943804076811621.post-48741508778068233202008-01-28T11:28:00.000-05:002008-01-28T15:40:31.780-05:00Lemon Merigue Tartlets<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://coollibrarian.com/blue_db.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://coollibrarian.com/blue_db.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">This month was my third Daring Bakers Challenge, Lemon Meringue Pie. I was psyched about this recipe, as I loves me some lemon curd. I've actually done lemon meringue tartlets in the past, but it's probably been at least 10 years, and using a completely different recipe.<br /><br />I thought this recipe was pretty straightforward, and none of the components was too difficult. I make a lot of pies, so the crust was standard - though this time I used my brand-new food processor. I have always made my crust by hand; this method was certainly faster</span><span style="font-family:Arial;">, and yielded good results. But I found that the dough was moister than normal, as it seemed to take more water before the dough "balled up." I'll have to play with this technique some more before I decide which method I like better.<br /><br />The lemon curd recipe was different from the one I have used in the past, and after reading some comments about trouble people were having with it, I was a little worried. But it went off without a hitch, and the resulting curd was very nice - and very lemony! Just the way I like it.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">I'm not a huge fan of traditional meringue; I like mine drier which calls for a much lower baking temp and longer baking time. And since I was afraid of the weeping problems some folks had, I decided to "cheat" a bit - I piped my meringue on parchment, baked them off, and then topped the filled tarts without baking them again. This worked like a charm, and I got to have my crunchier meringue.<br /><br />Lastly, even though I have tartlette tins, I am currently into the more rustic look of using cupcake pans for the crust. I first did this in a pinch when I could find my fancy tins, but I really like the look and size of tarts made this way.<br /><br />All in all, a great challenge!<br /><br /><br /></span><a

I'd never made a Yule Log before, and I was relieved that the recipe was not yeast based, so away I went.<br /><br />The recipe provided had plenty of steps, and I wondered if this was going to be tough to get done given all of the other holiday stuff I have going on, but the steps don't actually take too terribly long. In spite of that, it took me forever to get the thing frosted for some reason.<br /><br />The recipe is at the end of the post.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWrdxnjDz1gCmv6H6TqY3PAV5PX_Fua5zUf9IwkQkKq1gIdBuC5SGKeTnl-c1VmnOVctHA__dlw727BV2wP-5aUee_ACgW_ggQO7z3D40hmo3AcAFerOGYHYw8yL0HM-rE23HPc7VosjKz/s1600-h/log1.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWrdxnjDz1gCmv6H6TqY3PAV5PX_Fua5zUf9IwkQkKq1gIdBuC5SGKeTnl-c1VmnOVctHA__dlw727BV2wP-5aUee_ACgW_ggQO7z3D40hmo3AcAFerOGYHYw8yL0HM-rE23HPc7VosjKz/s400/log1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5147370875413153218" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I used the recipe as written for the Genoise, opting not to flavor it with anything else. I've done Genoise before, so I had no problem with the batter. However, I baked it a touch too long, and the result was a bit of cracking when I rolled the log. But it did roll, so, it was all good.<br /><br />I decided on chocolate buttercream rather than the coffee, and simply added a half cup of melted semi-sweet chocolate to the recipe. I could have used more, or perhaps a bittersweet chocolate for a stronger flavor, and I used rum. The result was delicious!<br /><br />I filled the log with a layer of buttery caramel (one of my favorite things to make), and then a layer of the buttercream. After rolling, I brushed on some rum with a pastry brush (mostly because I thought the cake was too dry - and I like rum).<br /><br />After frosting the log, I chose to make the meringue mushrooms, and am I more than happy with the way they came out. In fact, I handed one to Geoff, he bit into it, and said, "Um, what kind of mushroom is this?" He actually thought it was REAL! Ha!<br /><br />The overall result is not overly pretty, but I do think it looks like a log! This has to travel tomorrow, so I didn't bother with any other decoration. I'm not nuts about this particular Genoise recipe (it's a bit too sweet for my taste), so if I make this again, I'd probably opt for the recipe I usually use (which also doesn't call for corn starch). All-in-all, a successful challenge, I'd say!<br /><br />---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >RECIPE<br /><strong>Yule Log</strong></span><br /><br />Plain Genoise:<br /><br />3 large eggs<br />3 large egg yolks<br />pinch of salt<br />¾ cup of sugar<br />½ cup cake flour - spoon flour into dry-measure cup and level off (also known as cake & pastry flour)<br />¼ cup cornstarch<br /><br />one 10 x 15 inch jelly-roll pan that has been buttered and lined with parchment paper and then buttered again<br /><br />1.Set a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.<br /><br />2.Half-fill a medium saucepan with water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat so the water is simmering.<br /><br />3.Whisk the eggs, egg yolks, salt and sugar together in the bowl of a heavy-duty mixer. Place over the pan of simmering water and whisk gently until the mixture is just lukewarm, about 100 degrees if you have a thermometer (or test with your finger - it should be warm to the touch).<br /><br />4.Attach the bowl to the mixer and, with the whisk attachment, whip on medium-high speed until the egg mixture is cooled (touch the outside of the bowl to tell) and tripled in volume. The egg foam will be thick and will form a slowly dissolving ribbon falling back onto the bowl of whipped eggs when the whisk is lifted.<br /><br />5.While the eggs are whipping, stir together the flour and cornstarch.<br /><br />6.Sift one-third of the flour mixture over the beaten eggs. Use a rubber spatula to fold in the flour mixture, making sure to scrape all the way to the bottom of the bowl on every pass through the batter to prevent the flour mixture from accumulating there and making lumps. Repeat with another third of the flour mixture and finally with the remainder.<br /><br />7.Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.<br /><br />8.Bake the genoise for about 10 to 12 minutes. Make sure the cake doesn’t overbake and become too dry or it will not roll properly.<br /><br />9.While the cake is baking, begin making the buttercream.<br /><br />10.Once the cake is done (a tester will come out clean and if you press the cake lightly it will spring back), remove it from the oven and let it cool on a rack.<br /><br />Coffee Buttercream:<br /><br />4 large egg whites<br />1 cup sugar<br />24 tablespoons (3 sticks or 1-1/2 cups) unsalted butter, softened<br />2 tablespoons instant espresso powder<br />2 tablespoons rum or brandy<br /><br />1.Whisk the egg whites and sugar together in the bowl of an electric mixer. Set the bowl over simmering water and whisk gently until the sugar is dissolved and the egg whites are hot.<br /><br />2.Attach the bowl to the mixer and whip with the whisk on medium speed until cooled. Switch to the paddle and beat in the softened butter and continue beating until the buttercream is smooth. Dissolve the instant coffee in the liquor and beat into the buttercream.<br /><br />Filling and frosting the log:<br /><br />1.Run a sharp knife around the edges of the genoise to loosen it from the pan.<br /><br />2.Turn the genoise layer over (unmolding it from the sheet pan onto a flat surface) and peel away the paper.<br /><br />3.Carefully invert your genoise onto a fresh piece of parchment paper.<br /><br />4.Spread with half the coffee buttercream (or whatever filling you’re using).<br /><br />5.Use the parchment paper to help you roll the cake into a tight cylinder.<br /><br />6.Transfer back to the baking sheet and refrigerate for several hours.<br /><br />7.Unwrap the cake. Trim the ends on the diagonal, starting the cuts about 2 inches away from each end.<br /><br />8.Position the larger cut piece on each log about 2/3 across the top.<br /><br />9.Cover the log with the reserved buttercream, making sure to curve around the protruding stump.<br /><br />10.Streak the buttercream with a fork or decorating comb to resemble bark.<br /><br />11.Transfer the log to a platter and decorate with your mushrooms and whatever other decorations you’ve chosen.<br /><br />Chestnut Chocolate Filling (adapted from Martha Stewart)<br /><br />2/3 cup heavy cream<br />6 large egg whites<br />1 2/3 cups sugar<br />1 3/4 cups (3 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into pieces, softened<br />1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract<br />1/3 cup chestnut cream<br />¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder<br />1/3 cup chestnut cream<br />1 tsp. salt<br /><br />1. Put cream into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment; beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl. Refrigerate 1 hour.<br /><br />2. Whisk egg whites and sugar in the clean bowl of mixer set over a pan of simmering water until sugar has dissolved and mixture registers 160 degrees;, 2 to 3 minutes.<br />Attach bowl to mixer fitted with the clean whisk attachment; beat on high speed until slightly cooled and stiff (but not dry) peaks form.<br /><br />3. Fit mixer with paddle attachment. With mixer on medium-low speed, add butter, several pieces at a time, mixing well after each addition (meringue will deflate slightly as butter is added). Add vanilla, hazelnut cream, and salt; mix until mixture comes together, 3 to 5 minutes. Fold in whipped cream with a rubber spatula. Use immediately.<br /><br />Marzipan Mushrooms:<br /><br />8 ounces almond paste<br />2 cups icing sugar<br />3 to 5 tablespoons light corn syrup<br />Cocoa powder<br /><br />1.To make the marzipan combine the almond paste and 1 cup of the icing sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat with the paddle attachment on low speed until sugar is almost absorbed.<br /><br />2.Add the remaining 1 cup of sugar and mix until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.<br /><br />3.Add half the corn syrup, then continue mixing until a bit of the marzipan holds together when squeezed, adding additional corn syrup a little at a time, as necessary: the marzipan in the bowl will still appear crumbly.<br /><br />4.Transfer the marzipan to a work surface and knead until smooth.<br /><br />5.Roll one-third of the marzipan into a 6 inches long cylinder and cut into 1-inch lengths.<br /><br />6.Roll half the lengths into balls. Press the remaining cylindrical lengths (stems) into the balls (caps) to make mushrooms.<br /><br />7.Smudge with cocoa powder.jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13422462308023065350noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548943804076811621.post-50198619635591587102007-12-23T21:07:00.000-05:002008-12-09T23:35:30.821-05:00Joe FroggersThis year, I made a huge batch of Joe Froggers for my co-workers. I gave them each a bag of cookies, along with the recipe, which is more than 100 years old. The cookies, the way I make them anyway, take much like ginger snaps, and can be made thin or thick, snappy or soft. They rock with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKALcZNWUKypkI20Nso87SK6ao-dTtrjv8WTApfBhqZY24ItSU__lQnjzk82aDx2h35vZ8KtJNysEmMHjK5R-DPx6-5HusP9FQFCtL4RudD3jf73LlCFtx8g87I3eE0bmylmg6E_zAIALf/s1600-h/froggers.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKALcZNWUKypkI20Nso87SK6ao-dTtrjv8WTApfBhqZY24ItSU__lQnjzk82aDx2h35vZ8KtJNysEmMHjK5R-DPx6-5HusP9FQFCtL4RudD3jf73LlCFtx8g87I3eE0bmylmg6E_zAIALf/s400/froggers.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5147359678433412482" border="0" /></a>This recipe is as it appeared in the cookbook. This makes a LARGE batch of dough, and you can easily halve it. If you don’t want to roll the cookie dough, you can form balls with your hands and press flat. I find that a 350 oven works better than 375, and will keep them from burning on the bottom. Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet, and loosen while hot. I tend to make mine thinner and bake them a bit longer so they are more like ginger snaps.<br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >The Story</span><br /><p class="MsoNormal">A long time ago there was an old Negro who lived in <st1:place st="on"><st1:city st="on">Marblehead</st1:city>, <st1:state st="on">MA</st1:state></st1:place>. His name was Uncle Joe, and he lived on the edge of a frog pond, and the pond was called Uncle Joe’s Frog Pond.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p>Uncle Joe made the best molasses cookies of anyone in town, and people called them Joe Froggers because they were as plump and dark as the fat little frogs that lived in the pond. <st1:city st="on"><st1:place st="on">Marblehead</st1:place></st1:city> fishermen would give the old man a jug of rum and he would make them a batch of Froggers. The fishermen liked them because they never got hard, and women packed them in sea chests for the men to take to sea.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p>Uncle Joe said what kept them soft was rum and sea water. But he wouldn’t tell how he made them. And when he died, people said, “That’s the end of Joe Froggers.”</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p>But there was a woman named Mammy Cressy, who said she was Uncle Joe’s daughter, and Mammy Cressy gave the secret recipe to a fisherman’s wife. Then half the women in Marblehead began making Joe Froggers. With a pitcher of milk, Froggers became the town’s favorite Sunday night supper. They were also sold in a local bake shop. Children bought them, instead of candy, for a penny apiece, and they remained popular for several generations.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p>Joe Froggers, 6 inches in diameter, are made almost everyday in the old Village Tavern in Sturbridge, and on Sunday nights they are served with a pitcher of milk, in the Publick House. The chef got the recipe from a woman whose ancestors lived in Marblehead in the days of Uncle Joe. The recipe has been in her family for more than a hundred years.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHYvSjZyKp9ji9Ocb1dT-5mIrnsIbhTtD315guw3QryIFu2lGip2d7Yxd7vVi44iAIQSomI2uBm_m8XifiVd-4IirJGuq0hyF8hRoFE6PVsGspMGoZRWeFLfq2A5xMqHH0srUMmRM5s_E6/s1600-h/frogger+dough.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHYvSjZyKp9ji9Ocb1dT-5mIrnsIbhTtD315guw3QryIFu2lGip2d7Yxd7vVi44iAIQSomI2uBm_m8XifiVd-4IirJGuq0hyF8hRoFE6PVsGspMGoZRWeFLfq2A5xMqHH0srUMmRM5s_E6/s320/frogger+dough.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5147360039210665362" border="0" /></a></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >Ingredients</span><br /></p><ul><li>1 cup shortening<span style=""> </span></li><li>2 cups dark molasses</li><li>2 cups sugar<span style=""> </span></li><li>7 cups flour</li><li>¼ cup rum<span style=""> </span></li><li>¾ cup water</li><li>1 Tbsp. salt<span style=""> </span></li><li>1 Tbsp. ginger</li><li>1 tsp. clove</li><li>1 tsp. nutmeg</li><li>2 tsps. baking soda<span style=""> </span></li><li>½ tsp. allspice </li></ul><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >Directions</span><span style=""><br /> </span><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.75in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style=""></span></p><ol><li>Cream shortening and sugar until light.</li><li>Dissolve salt in water and mix with rum.</li><li>Add baking soda to molasses.</li><li>Sift flour with ginger, clove, nutmeg, and allspice.

It's a long, boring story, but basically, when I started this blog, Blogger was having a hard time posting images - and I was unable to customize my headline banner at all. I was hoping that the issue would resolve itself, but it didn't. Because I am insane, I simply could not abide by my perfectly acceptable but supremely boring text banner, and I became obsessed with "fixing" the issue. That ended up meaning that I had to re-create the blog.... You don't care, do you?<br /><br />Anyway, using the excellent <a href="https://www.blogbackuponline.com/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Blog Backup Online</span></a>, I was able to migrate to a new blog, create a new banner, and re-establish the original blog's URL. The only snafu was that past comments are now on the actual blog post - but I felt like that was small price to pay to appease my OCD.<br /><br />Hopefully, the feeds are still intact (they should be) and no one will notice anything different (other than the damn banner).<br /><br />We now return you to your regularly scheduled program.<br /><br />(PS - if you do not host your blog on your own server or provider, backing up your blog on Blog Backup Online is EASY, and FREE. And it may save you a buttload of heartache if your blogging platform, server, or computer crashes and eats all your hard work.)jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13422462308023065350noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548943804076811621.post-80789587309109877042007-11-26T17:29:00.001-05:002008-12-09T23:35:31.446-05:00Daring Baker?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJrazqmIG-A0CWRz8wnf3oUHXV847oFMnWcpdjQDBrxJDpLnc0vFPpL4UU-BWNy7U2rcEfwQRZA530xvMZMu-u2y7CkTnSXsgVmJLgOIZPW4ojwXv5jmr0kVtgY7BEaA7sdQc3qkPZJCVY/s1600-h/blue+bd+girl.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJrazqmIG-A0CWRz8wnf3oUHXV847oFMnWcpdjQDBrxJDpLnc0vFPpL4UU-BWNy7U2rcEfwQRZA530xvMZMu-u2y7CkTnSXsgVmJLgOIZPW4ojwXv5jmr0kVtgY7BEaA7sdQc3qkPZJCVY/s200/blue+bd+girl.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5137311095959251794" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix7eHwj3fNFHRDIenNDXz-Hy1pIXOn-W4khxfNRUdw24JuSxmyv8hNOTXq2ZYKUVF4EOlJCXSfhUDde9cnJq0-hxBt6dmPj2wSEtqrbx-MXOF9rv1ZXFpiv8SF424-r5sUZ6sawS4G8Sm6/s1600-h/bread.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix7eHwj3fNFHRDIenNDXz-Hy1pIXOn-W4khxfNRUdw24JuSxmyv8hNOTXq2ZYKUVF4EOlJCXSfhUDde9cnJq0-hxBt6dmPj2wSEtqrbx-MXOF9rv1ZXFpiv8SF424-r5sUZ6sawS4G8Sm6/s400/bread.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5137305486731963186" border="0" /></a><br />Well, at least it looked good!<br /><br />This was my first challenge for the <a href="http://daringbakersblogroll.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Daring Bakers</span></a> group, and I so wanted it to be successful. It wasn't. But it was daring.<br /><br />The challenge was to make <a href="http://web.mac.com/tannajones/My_Kitchen_In_Half_Cups...Second_Helping_/My_Kitchen_in_Half_Cups...Second_Helping/Entries/2007/11/26_DB_Nov_ChallengeTender_Potato_Bread_Recipe.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tender Potato Bread</span></a>. When I saw this, my heart immediately dropped; I'm a sweets baker, and I had never attempted any sort of yeast product. Quick breads, sure. Pasties requiring endless foldings and other machinations, right-o. Yeast bread - never.<br /><br />But the whole reason that I joined Daring Bakers was to expand my baking horizons, so, there ya go. Talk about being outside my comfort zone! I guess I was just hoping that I would be able to post at least once with something awesome before I had to post a project with a grade of PHAIL.<br /><br />Anywhoo. I followed the recipe but I couldn't seem to overcome the stickiness of the dough. No matter how much flour I added, it remained sticky. I tried not to add too much, as the recipe warns, but after what seems like 100 cups of flour, I still had a Devil of a time handling the dough. The dough did seem to rise properly (but what the heck do I know?), and my loaf baked to a pretty shape and color. I was finally encouraged. I read the warnings about cutting in to it too soon, so I let it cool completely. And then - it just stunk. I wasn't done enough (after forever in the oven). It was HEAVY. I hated the taste. I was so bummed.<br /><br />So, what did I do wrong? I have no idea. I've never made bread before - and I likely won't again (unless it's for a DB challenge). And I know that that sounds like a spoiled child - I am being a spoiled child. But here's why - I didn't have any fun making the bread. When I bake, I am usually happy, excited. I love the smells, the textures, the tastes. There was nothing that I liked about making the bread. I don't LOVE bread the way some people do. If I couldn't ever have a piece of bread again, I wouldn't be heartbroken (unlike, say, ice-cream or asparagus). And then there's the "I suck" aspect. Sure, I've had desserts and meals fall flat. Sure, I have had to learn proper techniques, just like everyone else. But I have never spent so much time on something to have it be completely INEDIBLE.<br /><br />In closing, I sucked at this challenge. From the looks of things, I was in the minority on that. I think my "anti-yeast" attitude was part of the problem. Imagine that. But on the positive side, I loved looking at everyone else's creations, and especially the "additional" items people made. The flavor combinations people came up with are inspiring. And I am very psyched to be part of this groovy group of people, because I am sure to learn a ton of good stuff. I may even learn how to make a loaf of bread that I can eat.<br /><br />And, hey, I'm looking forward to the next challenge, since there's nowhere to go but up!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIAbHmXegckBnikqT876kXM3FJJsaNKn4FbUOLf4KRddpHPLE4UtjuBm8TeK5EeQjtTPc1PsP_X-ksklZ6oAR57nDnv0fFG_fokmUxoddTxymhzx1-Vn5tdUnZge6jwdk228JKbxM2h7PO/s1600-h/rolls.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIAbHmXegckBnikqT876kXM3FJJsaNKn4FbUOLf4KRddpHPLE4UtjuBm8TeK5EeQjtTPc1PsP_X-ksklZ6oAR57nDnv0fFG_fokmUxoddTxymhzx1-Vn5tdUnZge6jwdk228JKbxM2h7PO/s320/rolls.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5137305688595426114" border="0" /></a><br />Oh, I also made Ham and Swiss Rolls with the extra dough.

As for the bread... this was probably not the easiest recipe for a first-time yeast bread. Maybe try something easier (and far less sticky) like cinnamon rolls? Those are fun and delish. I'm sure you will get the hang of it and boost your confidence. Don't give up on the bread - it's really quite lovely (stuffed with delicious fillings - omg!).

Hope your December sweets are a success!</p><p><br /><b>Comment posted by April</b><br />at 11/27/2007 10:24:00 AM<br />Congrats on your first challenge! They look wonderful!</p><p><br /><b>Comment posted by breadchick</b><br />at 11/27/2007 9:56:00 AM<br />Way to stay with it even though you don't like baking breads. I would say though, as a "Bread Head", don't give up on not liking to bake bread. There are plenty of other recipes out there that don't take the time this one did that you will enjoy making...and some of them are sweet too!

I hope you try to bake bread again. Heck, I am on my 20th year of making Thanksgiving turkey and this years was still not the wonderful turkey I imagined but I will try again next year. Great flavor combos on your rolls, too. Wendy</p><p><br /><b>Comment posted by Shawnda</b><br />at 11/26/2007 7:40:00 PM<br />Aw, sorry it didn't turn out.

When it comes to baking, I try to be fairly consistent in terms of ingredients, measurements, etc. When it comes to "food," not so much. This is a very loose recipe for Spinach Patties, which can be a pain to make, but are oh-so-good! This is also one of those dishes that can be changed in a huge number of ways (for instance, when I first had these they were made with Swiss Chard), and can be a side dish, entree, or breakfast, and can be eaten hot, warm, or cold (I LOVE them right out of the fridge). Have fun.<br /><br />Oh, yeah, I recommend that you make the mix at least two hours ahead, if not the night before.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-pGy3EAVn01VkMsoa982PwfmR6uehAWGPjvOjUiIaDyb2RjEDJus3KxnzhgrTCf3vE8I3PIn5XVnJVyEGlPra3bFMBAoSi16-S3E9lc6mxrjcEb0rIzg74tMLaI7Mb-V60XLLcLmnc7V_/s1600-h/patties.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-pGy3EAVn01VkMsoa982PwfmR6uehAWGPjvOjUiIaDyb2RjEDJus3KxnzhgrTCf3vE8I3PIn5XVnJVyEGlPra3bFMBAoSi16-S3E9lc6mxrjcEb0rIzg74tMLaI7Mb-V60XLLcLmnc7V_/s400/patties.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5134676717638707922" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ingredients</span><br />Makes a butt-load of patties! I make a ton, then we eat them for two days. But you can cut the recipe in half, if you wish.<br /><ul><li>2 cups rice</li><li>4 cups water</li><li>salt</li></ul>-------------------------------<br /><ul><li>2 eggs</li><li>1 bag (about 2 cups) of shredded / grated cheese of your choice - I use Sharp Cheddar<br />(You know those ziploc bags of shredded cheese? One of those.)</li><li>1 bag fresh spinach (10 oz is fine - or more if you want)</li><li>Oil of your choice for frying<br /></li></ul>---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Instructions</span><br /><br /><ol><li>Put the 2 cups of rice in the 4 cups of salted water, cover, and simmer until rice is done - about 20 minutes. Do this in a BIG (4 or 5 qt) pan.</li><li>While rice cooks, wash, stem, and tear up about three quarters of the bag of spinach (or the whole bag - knock yourself out). Open the bag of cheese and have it ready to go. Get out the two eggs. Seriously, once the rice is done, you have to move sort of fast.</li><li>The MOMENT the rice is done, add the two eggs and mix thoroughly. Dump in the cheese, and mix until the cheese is melted and well-incorporated. Add the spinach, mixing after each handful (this is the hardest part, getting all of the spinach dispersed).</li><li>OK, now you can leave the mixture to cool down to about room temp (cover loosely with wax paper), or you can cool it down and then put it in the fridge for a few hours (at least two, but overnight is fine). If putting it in the refrigerator, cover the surface with wax paper to keep it from forming a dried, crusty layer. This firms up the mixture, and makes it MUCH easier to form into patties before frying.</li><li>Once mix is cool/cold, form patties much the way you would make hamburger patties. I like mine on the thinner side so that they don't take forever to cook. Using a non-stick frying pan or skillet (or both at the same time, if you want to eat them hot with dinner), fry the patties in oil (I use light olive oil) over medium heat. These take a while to cook, so don't raise the heat too high, and try not to rush them. They are ready to flip once the side is nicely browned and the patty holds its shape.</li></ol><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Variations<br /><br /></span>As you can imagine, you can do all sorts of variations with this recipe. Try different cheeses (Cheddar Jack works well for a spicier patty). Use different greens like kale, swiss chard, or collards. Add chopped, sauteed onions or mushrooms. Want more fiber? Use half brown rice (and increase the water and cooking time a bit). Go nuts - and if you try this recipe, let me know.<p><br /><b>Comment posted by Kris</b><br />at 11/20/2007 9:07:00 AM<br />God Gord, woman. That sounds too freaking good.

While cruising some of my favorite food blogs the other night, I stumbled on this <a href="http://bakingbites.com/2007/11/chocolate-pumpkin-pie/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">awesome recipe for Chocolate Pumpkin Pie</span></a>, of all things. At first I thought, "Eww, that sounds kinda gross," but the more I thought about it, the more intrigued I became. I like chocolate, and I LOVE pumpkin pie, so.... I happened to have everything I needed on hand (and even a frozen crust disc waiting), so I decided to try it out.<br /><br />And, oh. my. gawd. It was (and notice I said "was") so, so, strange - and wonderful. It's almost impossible to describe because it tastes like pumpkin pie, and it tastes like chocolate, and your brain may rebel against that idea. And, it's almost like the flavors are separate, which is weird and doesn't make any sense. Since you are using unsweetened cocoa, the chocolate is a "pure" flavor, and almost like an aftertaste. I can't describe it any better than that except to say that I thought it was absolutely delicious. Even my boyfriend, who is not a fan of chocolate, said, "This is the best pie you've ever made."<br /><br />Naturally, I mucked with the recipe a tiny bit. But, I didn't change it just to change it - there was some actual reasoning behind my method. I used both white and brown sugar because I didn't want the cocoa to have to work so hard against the sugar (and I tend to use a very dark brown sugar). I also dispensed with the clove (not a fan in pumpkin pie) and used ginger and nutmeg, as I like their flavor profiles with chocolate. I also used a traditional pie crust, simply because I had one hand and I prefer it to graham crusts (unless it's under s cheese cake!). In the end the result probably isn't very different - and I was very happy with the result!<br /><br />The consistency was a touch lighter than my traditional pumpkin pie, probably because I didn't bake the hell out of it, it called for one additional egg than I usually use, and I used lowfat milk rather than condensed. The consistency was great. I also recommend eating this at room temp or cold rather than warm (but that's just me). And, yeah, whipped cream. Below is the non-glamour shot of the pie remains.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggGXHDI-N0FEHPNfJhqBiM0PxM3j3L5dMNbtngzgcqL8geHqFFlaMpSEzwYanb1D4-815gKqePCfczJOpaeO8TfHlryp0FJjwDF18TOwlgJh6uTpAA0eFmPQQYdnQOxbwXKOm9X6i1_zyc/s1600-h/pie.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggGXHDI-N0FEHPNfJhqBiM0PxM3j3L5dMNbtngzgcqL8geHqFFlaMpSEzwYanb1D4-815gKqePCfczJOpaeO8TfHlryp0FJjwDF18TOwlgJh6uTpAA0eFmPQQYdnQOxbwXKOm9X6i1_zyc/s400/pie.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5132081230019392690" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ingredients</span> - makes one pie (mine was deep dish).<br />Preheat oven to 425.<br /><ul><li>One pie crust - <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/portal/site/mslo/menuitem.fc77a0dbc44dd1611e3bf410b5900aa0/?vgnextoid=7ab340ee0c90f010VgnVCM1000003d370a0aRCRD&vgnextfmt=default&rsc=sl_pie_p4"><span style="font-weight: bold;">pastry</span></a>, <a href="http://bakingbites.com/2007/11/chocolate-pumpkin-pie/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">graham</span></a>, or even - gasp! - <a href="http://www.pillsbury.com/view/desserts/piecrust.aspx"><span style="font-weight: bold;">store bought</span></a>!

"What kind?" I asked. "Oatmeal." So I figured I'd make her a nice batch of Cowboy cookies, a favorite around here. And that would have been fine. Except. Except that I decided to make them "healthy" and pretty much ruined them (actually they were good, and we ate them, but they were not at all what someone craving a sweet cookie would want).<br /><br />"I still haven't gotten my oatmeal cookies!" Mom said last weekend. "Just regular oatmeal cookies. Sweet. Chewy." "Like Gramma used to make?" "Yes, like Gramma used to make."<br /><br />I dug Gramma's recipe out of the old wooden recipe file that I inherited, and the card had a note at the top saying that even then the recipe was 100 years old. It looked straight-forward, but it also looked like it wouldn't make many cookies. I compared the recipe to one I found in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Rosies-Chocolate-Packed-Jam-Filled-Butter-Rich-No-Holds-Barred/dp/1563055066/ref=sr_1_1/104-0468343-6111166?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1194287585&sr=1-1"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Rosie's Cookie Book</span></a>, and that recipe looked good as well, but not what I wanted. I decided to fly by the seat of my pants on this. The result was a dark, sweet, chewy cookie with crispy edges - just like Gramma used to make.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtvQ_2jC82kMll4Xl2bOSrDuaBe9k2IkHZ3IZeS_ikX69G-BeX8IDxHazRWhCPhYrH_0bbvvMP3Z_iOb_yptWmgckojBN_8HpOCZlM53umb0tfK7F06iJcpXcAfnEPYDLNKszYQmD_7swm/s1600-h/oatmeal+cookies.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtvQ_2jC82kMll4Xl2bOSrDuaBe9k2IkHZ3IZeS_ikX69G-BeX8IDxHazRWhCPhYrH_0bbvvMP3Z_iOb_yptWmgckojBN_8HpOCZlM53umb0tfK7F06iJcpXcAfnEPYDLNKszYQmD_7swm/s400/oatmeal+cookies.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5129425866691599746" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ingredients</span> - Makes a bunch of cookies<br />Preheat oven to 375<br />Line cookie sheet with parchment or lightly grease them<br /><br /><ul><li>2 sticks of butter (or margarine - I actually used 1 stick butter and one stick Crisco (Butter-flavored)<br /></li><li>1 cup lightly packed brown sugar (I like dark, but light is fine, too)<br /></li><li>1/3 cup white sugar<br /></li><li>2 large eggs</li><li>2 Tbsp molasses<br /></li><li>1 tsp vanilla extract<br /></li><li>2 cups flour</li><li>1 1/2 tsp baking soda<br /></li><li>1 tsp salt<br /></li><li>2 tsp ground cinnamon<br /></li><li>1/4 tsp ground ginger (optional: and/or 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg)<br /></li><li>3 cups of oats (rolled, quick, or a combination of the two - I like half and half)<br /></li><li>1 cup raisins<br /><br />-----------------------------------------</li></ul><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><span style="font-weight: bold;">Directions</span><span><br /></span><ol><li><span>In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and other spices (if using); set aside. </span> </li><li> <span>Using a mixer and a large bowl, beat butter and sugars until light and fluffy.

After I started reading some cooking blogs, and discovering so many neat challenges, I decided it was time.<br /><br />So, to start things off here, I decided to enter <a href="http://cupcakeblog.com/index.php/2007/10/cupcake-round-up-ii/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cupcake Round-Up II</span></a>, hosted by the good folks over at <a href="http://cupcakeblog.com/index.php"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cupcake Bakeshop</span></a>. The theme was re-invention - and since I haven't made a cupcake in years, I figured plain old "invention" might be OK as well. There was lots of talk of Fall produce and flavors, and I gave that a lot of thought. And what happened was, well, I was bummed about Summer ending. So, I decided to create Tropical Getaway Cupcakes -- orange-pineapple rum cake with coconut rum frosting. Um, yeah, not for kids.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_v-EYKHjS76Q/Rxl2sWdqZ8I/AAAAAAAAAF8/H3Wj_CkfMW4/s1600-h/cupcake.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_v-EYKHjS76Q/Rxl2sWdqZ8I/AAAAAAAAAF8/H3Wj_CkfMW4/s320/cupcake.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5123256555426965442" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ingredients</span> - Makes 12 cupcakes<br /><br />Aside from the regular baking pantry ingredients, you will need:<br /><ul><li>1 orange</li><li>1 can (small or large) crushed pineapple in its own juice (NOT sweetened)</li><li>rum</li><li>flaked coconut - sweetened or unsweetened - your choice<br />-------------------------------------------------------</li></ul><ul><li>1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour</li><li>2 teaspoons baking powder</li><li>1/2 teaspoon salt</li><li>1/2 cup pineapple juice</li><li>1/3 cup crushed pineapple</li><li>finely grated zest of 1 orange (or 1 tsp. pure orange extract in a pinch)<br /></li><li>1/4 cup rum (or more if you like it rummy - just add a tad more flour if needed)<br /></li><li>1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature</li><li>3/4 cup sugar</li><li>2 large eggs<br />-----------------------------------------</li></ul><span style="font-weight: bold;">Rum Frosting</span> - NOTE: this makes WAY too much frosting! But, cutting it in half can be a pain....<br /><ul><li>1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature</li><li>3 cups confectioners' sugar</li><li>1/2 cup milk - skim is fine, and you probably won't need that much<br /></li><li>1 - 2 teaspoons rum</li><li>1 1/2 cups coconut (or there abouts)<br /></li><li>food coloring, if desired</li></ul><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Directions</span><br /><span>Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line the cups of a standard (12-cup) muffin tin with papers.</span><ol><li><span>In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.

With mixer on low speed, add half of dry ingredients, followed by juice mixture, followed by cr</span><span>ushed pineapple, then remaining dry ingredients. Scrape down sides of bowl as necessary. Mix until slightly fluffy. Note: during this process, the mixture curdles when you add the juice - pay this no mind.</span> </li><li> <span>Divide batter evenly among prepared muffin cups - I had EXACTLY enough to fill the cups. I noted that these cakes did not expand significantly.</span> </li><li> <span>Place tin on a baking sheet; bake until a toothpick inserted in center of a cupcake comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.

Add confectioners' sugar a bit at a time, add rum, and small amounts of milk until smooth. Do this in bits at a time to get a good consistency. Makes enough for way more than 12 cupcakes.</span></li></ol><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">My Observations</span></div><ul><li>cupcakes were YUMMY</li><li>cupcakes did not expand too much</li><li>orange flavor won out over the pineapple - may use a bit less orange zest next time</li><li>frosting was delicious - but rummy - which I love - so start with a teaspoon and taste as you go<br /></li><li>the people at work declared them "light" and "fantastic" and "needs more pineapple"</li><li>next time I may color the frosting a light orange to contrast with the coconut (I didn't have any food coloring - can you believe it?)</li></ul>This was fun!
