I make pretentious pizza with my new rolling pin and pizza stone. Hey, fresh mozzarella and basil really DO taste different, suckers!

Bread
Help, I need a camera that doesn’t make the world blurry. I was impressed how this batch came out.
Back to flying…
Whole-wheat cranberry bread
So I had these amazing whole-wheat cranberry walnut rolls from Whole Foods yesterday. Then I had a rainy Sunday afternoon. Guess what happens next.
Recipe from the back of the whole-wheat King Arthur Flour – I’d heard good reviews of it even though it does things I normally feel like are cheating, such as add oil [...]
almond lemon biscotti
I’ve been craving cookies, but I don’t actually like them so much (too sweet); I just want something to go with coffee, and biscotti are generally not super rich, due to having no shortening usually. Melody recommended this recipe from joy of baking. I like my biscotti as plain as possible, so almond it was, [...]
Rosemary Bread sans Rosemary

Tea Party Breakdown!
I am at Karen and Spanky’s house. There are Street Fighter 4 sounds and egg beater sounds in the background. We have had a Tea Party, limited in size but not limited in scope. We don’t have pictures of our full spread, because food pretty much disappeared when it hit the table. Also, the table [...]
