BREAK OUT THE BIKINIS

Hello Buttfaces.  Just heard that today, we're headed into the mid 20s (F).  We're talking heatwave people.  Break out the bikinis and let's see some jiggle.

Meanwhile, my recent draft of Italian cheesy bread was a hot mess.  Smoke everywhere.  But that's okay because the next day I sliced off the top and made killer croutons.

I LOVE BAKING!

Now, if I could only make a living at it ...

Happy Little Loaf

Each time I watch this episode I get the BIGGEST smile.  Especially when Lucy says, "Happy little loaf."

Which brings us to yesterday's quiz.  Well done to all who named Lucy as the baker.  I award you one nail file, three raisins and a stinky piece of cheese.   Because that's just the kind of prizes we give out around here.

Thanks for playing.  Enjoy and boogie boogie.

Even if It's Scary

By the end of this week I wanted to have a how-to bake post done.  Only I must not have wanted it bad enough because it's not ready.  It's not even the baking part that's the problem.  I could write and test bakes all ding dong day long.  It's the getting the post ready part. 

It's very easy for me to write and test a bake, snap a few pictures and show it off, then quickly move onto the next bake.  But to sit and write each recipe in a way other people can understand and use them, is not my strongest area.  

Time to change that.

I love writing them at my kitchen table, but I need to make the transition to the online world.  Start posting on Reddit and oh my gosh, I don't want to, but maybe even a Google+ account.  Maybe I'll write a food zine.  But the one that scares me the most, shoot a video from my kitchen.

Just writing about it now, I'm uptight and nervous.  So erase, erase, erase, and next week, I move forward.

Even if it's scary.
