My Day So Far...

Going out to eat this evening so at least I won't have to cook any more today. Tomorrow will be another story.

Baking Frenzy

Today I made six of the creme caramels (two are gone already) two loaves of banana bread and about two dozen coconut kisses (quite a few of them seem to have disappeared too). I feel that if I am going to heat up the oven I might as well make it worthwhile. When I make creme caramels I usually make the kisses with the leftover egg whites. The banana bread is a huge recipe and I had a lot of overripe bananas. My freezer will be full of banana bread but the rest will soon get eaten.

Baking Day

This is the bread just mixed in my new bread pan, ready to rise. I love the bread pan because all the flour is contained, making clean up much easier.


Here it is after rising for an hour, about to be shaped into loaves and baked.


And, fresh out of the oven. Too bad I can't post an aroma!


I made this Sichuan stir fry and peanut sauce to go with the bread shown below. I forgot to take the picture until we had finished eating. Hence the crumbs and messy bowl.


This is Sichuan Pepper Bread made with a recipe from my Flatbreads book. I made the same one on Sunday but this one turned out better. I knew the right temperature for the frying pan this time.
