Egg Bagels, to be precise.
I love bagels.
When I lived in the US the supermarket I used to shop in had a bagel section in the bakery with all kinds of sweet and savory bagels. Every week I bought too many…. And ate them all.
I have never seen a bagel here. I’m sure they exist but not in … Continue reading.....
Filipino Spanish Bread Rolls.
It almost sounds is if these delicious treats have an identity crisis,
The Philippines used to be a Spanish colony so it’s only natural that most of their cuisine, including bread, has a Spanish influence.
Aparna, of My Diverse Kitchen, and our host kitchen for the month says she has no idea why this particular … Continue reading.....
When we decided to move across the pond we sold our house and moved into a rental for a year to get organized.
The rental house was in the city and one of the great things about living there was being close to a big farmer’s market.

The complained a lot (normal) then declared their efforts both easy (not normal) and delicious (normal).
Some, but not all, read the directions and some, but not all, followed the directions.
Actually, now that I think about it, that is all perfectly normal behavior for … Continue reading.....
Happy New Year Babes!
Well…..
That’s the first bread name that I haven’t been able to have any fun with in a long time.

On the other hand, Elizabeth, of blog from OUR kitchen, and our … Continue reading.....
That’s my best alliteration effort yet – nine!
And that was without thinking about it. Imagine what I could have accomplished had I ‘applied’ myself to use a term oft repeated by my mother…
One could just say ‘Champagne Babas’ but where’s the fun in that?
What better way to close out our baking year then with a bit of … Continue reading.....
