NO BLUBBER ZONE

Oh my frickin' gosh, I'm so tired today.  Making some pomegranate juice to see if that helps get my motor running.

If that doesn't work, I'm gonna try a nap.

Unfortunately, my spine and neck are still in a tangle.  So it's another day of rest and getting my coupons ready for 2014. 

Meanwhile, on New Year's Eve Tim (who has never made dough), hand-kneaded me a double batch so I could play with it the next morning.  Then we watched THE GREAT BRITISH BAKE OFF, and snuggled on the couch.

It was the best New Year's, ever.  Simple and peaceful and as soon as I'm rested I gotta get back to taking care of myself again.  Not only do I hurt but I also regained some blubber.

And this, points to her belly, is a No Blubber Zone.

Winter Wonder Woman

Click to enlarge the best Winter Wonder Woman, ever.

PS: Update: Since posting Winter Wonder Woman, earlier today.  I've since taken over my husband's blog with falling Santas, and lights, as well as take over one of his posts. 

So much fun, knowing his password.

Plaits, Pizza & Pizzelles

Here's my second go at Paul Hollywood's 8 plaited loaf.  I wanted to correct the end issues I had last time (see last post).  Though my ends are getting better, the middle went a little wiggle waggly.  Draft 3 will be tighter all around.  But that's the fun of this, getting to do it again.

Meanwhile, for supper we enjoyed homemade pizza (including sauce).  Usually I mix mozzarella with smoked provolone but when provolone prices pushed too high, I gave Aldi's sliced Muenster a go.  Turned out WAY better.  Super melty and just a delight.  It also works better in calzones.  Now I don't have to worry about the high price.

So take that smoked provolone.  You can suck it.

For dessert, we had my almond pizzelles.  The trickiest part, is convincing Tim that one tin is NOT a single serving.

That's wraps up today's Baker's Lab - I had fun playing but today I'm cleaning the house.  Well, actually I'm writing to you and NOT cleaning the house, whist I chat on IM with my girlfriend Kris.  So it's like I'm cleaning, only not so much.

You Boogerbutts have a good one.  Boogie boogie.
