Croque Monsieur (Grilled Ham and Cheese)
I made a loaf of sourdough bread in an effort to teach myself how to create and bake with wild yeast. But, if I had to be completely honest with you, I made a loaf of sourdough because I was dreaming of eating a really good sandwich. Well, that day finally came. With slices of lovely, sour-tinged bread I made croquet monsieur au jambon. It was good. Very good. I’ll teach you how. Continue reading →
Strawberry Shortcake
I have a few pet peeves. I hate it when I close a cabinet door rather quickly and it bounces back open. I hate that. I hate combing my hair when it is wet and all tangled. Oh the humanity! I hate the TV show America’s Got Talent. I don’t know why, but it just bothers me. And I hate it when strawberry shortcake is served with a cake base rather than a biscuit base. That is not strawberry shortcake. That is a yellow cake that has whipped cream and cut strawberries. I guess you could say I am a strawberry shortcake purist. You could also say that I have some anger issues. Continue reading →
Sourdough
Oh, Mr. Sourdough. My feelings for you are complicated. It was quite the adventure having you around. But… but you are very high maintenance. There. I said it. You were like the third child in this house, and my husband and I had already decided that we would stop at two. There were days when you were so needy for attention you made my heart ache. And then there were days that you were so bossy, so I felt like quitting you. But you surprised me in the end. You blossomed into a beautiful and delicious round loaf of sourdough bread. Now I find myself missing you. Continue reading →
Project Pastry Love has come to a screeching halt. I cannot find my camera cord. I have photos of my last four recipes on my camera, but I’ve no means to transfer them to my computer. Now, I don’t want to get hysterical here, or jump to any conclusions, but I think it has been stolen. And I think the thief is living in this house! I give you the following clues:
Exhibit A
I was also missing two other items when the camera cord had disappeared. One was my flip flop. I found that little rascal under my bed. That was my bad. I was also missing my four year old’s sneaker. Well, I found that little devil in our freezer.
Here’s another view.
There it is. Right above the frozen shrimp.
Exhibit B:
There is a person living in this house who is very sneaky. Here he is photo bombing a picture for Project Pastry Love.
My little red head pops up anywhere
Now, I don’t want to accuse anyone of anything. And I am aware of the whole innocent until proven guilty thing. But I think Cameron did it.
His name is also close to the word Camera. So there is that too.
PS. I took the above photos with my phone.
