Round Twenty — Olive Oil Flatbread

by Stephanie on March 24, 2010

Disclaimer: These photos are lacking in the zeal of my past posts’ photos. Why, you ask? Because, unabashedly, my mother took her lovely camera (that I borrow for my photo-taking, for I am too lowly and poor to afford such an expensive item) on vacation with her, to Saint Maarten (or Saint Martin, if you’re [...]

Round Nineteen — Braided Pesto Bread

by Stephanie on March 19, 2010

Sometimes, when my husband and I go for really long walks (especially on days like today when it’s 63 degrees and sunny outside, and we need to take advantage of it because, oddly enough, it will be SNOWING tomorrow… c’mon, really?), we like to point out houses or parts of houses that we want ours [...]

by Stephanie on March 16, 2010

A good chunk of the useful devices I own in my bread-baking kitchen collection were gifted to me by my lovely sister-in-law and fellow blogger, Natalie.

This time I’m writing about someone else’s writing, meaning I’m highlighting an article, link, post — whatever — that I found that [...]

Knockout Gear — bench scraper

by Stephanie on March 5, 2010

I decided to incorporate a few informative posts in the resting period between recipes on my blog. I haven’t fully conjured up all my ideas as to what I’ll talk about when I’m not talking about a particular recipe, but for now, enjoy the experimentation and feel free to offer your own advice.

Round Seventeen — Flaky Lemon Poppyseed Scones

by Stephanie on March 1, 2010

Top o’ the morning — er, evening! — to you!
Maybe the above statement is more Irish than British (or Scottish, the apparent host country of the scone), but nevertheless, I feel quite Western European after having noshed on a scone with a spot of tea. “Hmmm, tea, you say?” “Why, yes, it’s a lovely [...]
