Beginning Again

         After blogging at Typepad.com for 18 1/2 years, in August the company announced that they were ceasing business and those of us having accounts would need to find another space. Originally I thought maybe I would just call it a day, end of an era. The main purpose of my blog was to participate in Tuesdays with Dorie, baking with the group since 2008, enjoying the friendships made throughout these years, dear to my heart. The group is currently baking and blogging through Dorie's book Baking with Dorie.

        Coming out this fall, Dorie Greenspan has a new cookbook (Dorie's Anytime Cakes), and Steph, finding herself with an extra copy, in her generosity, offered it to me. Thank you ever so much, Steph. And, well...If you give a girl a book, she's going to need a blog to go with it (to paraphrase If You Give a Mouse a Cookie). I'll be needing a blog to keep participating. Goodbye, Typepad, it was a lovely run, and I'm sorry to see it end. So now,  let's begin again.

    So sorry that your food diary for the last two decades went poof. We'll all be here to cheer you on with new beginnings!

      Thanks, Steph. It is still a bit of a shock.

      Awe, you are so sweet, thank you. It is frustrating, you are so right about that. Hopefully I can get this new format figured out. Thank you for the support.

      Thank you. I am devastated about the loss, but what can one do? Moving forward. Sigh.

Tuesdays with Dorie: Dorie's Anytime Cakes: Cocoa-Swirled Pumpkin Bundt

Image
          The first recipe I made with the Tuesdays with Dorie: Dorie’s Anytime Cakes group is Cocoa-Swirled Pumpkin Bundt and can be found in Dorie Greenspan’s newest cookbook, Dorie’s Anytime Cakes. Today is the launch day for Dorie’s new cookbook and the launch day for this new group at Tuesdays with Dorie , now also baking from this book on the third Tuesday of each month.          Ingredients: Sugar, Cocoa Powder, Salt, Cinnamon, Chocolate Chips, Flour, Baking Soda, Ginger, Cardamom, Nutmeg, Neutral Oil, Brown Sugar, Eggs, Vanilla, Pumpkin, and Confectioner’s Sugar.          The first thing I asked myself when I saw this recipe was, “Do Pumpkin and Chocolate actually go together?’ Mark assured me that he thought they did and that I should bake on. We decided that a half recipe made in 6 cup bundt pan would be an appropriate size so I just halved the ingredients, it all fit perfectly fine, and the cake b...

Tuesdays with Dorie: Baking with Dorie - Custardy Apple and Kale Cake

Image
       The 72nd recipe I made with the  Tuesdays with Dorie: Baking with Dorie  group is Custardy Apple and Kale Cake and can be found in the  Baking with Dorie  cookbook on page 334.           Ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, olive oil, onion, kale, eggs, milk, apples, and cheese.        This is not what you would think of when you hear the word “cake,” but it looks like what you think of when you hear the word “cake,” so I was eager to make this and see what it was all about…turns out it was all about being savory and delicious.         I’m not sure I’ve had a “savory cake” before, definitely not one that tasted like this as it kind of reminded me of a quiche with a different texture and no traditional quiche crust, maybe like a crustless quiche actually.  The combination of ingredients reminded me of an apple/kale/cheese/onion salad that ...

Tuesdays with Dorie: Baking with Dorie - The Daily Bread: White Bread Edition

Image
          The 70th recipe I made with the  Tuesdays with Dorie: Baking with Dorie  group is The Daily Bread: White Bread Edition and can be found in the  Baking with Dorie  cookbook on page 11.            Ingredients: butter, flour, powdered milk, sugar, salt, yeast, egg, and milk.        Homemade bread, I would say, is one of my favorites to make. Through the years I’ve made countless loaves and I always enjoy baking all kinds of bread, it is relaxing and soothing, and especially rewarding when everyone happily devours it, sometimes straight out of the oven as was the case when the boys were home growing up…homemade bread never lasted long.          This is a nice recipe, it comes together easily, and bakes well. It baked for a bit more (actually 20 minutes more in my oven) than the time specified, all ovens bake differently. The taste is rich (butter, milk, egg, suga...
