If you know Sean & Nora you probably know that Sean is the baker in the family. He grew up with a mom who makes wedding cakes as a hobby so I consider his baking prowess to be hereditary. It might also have something to do with his aptitude for activities that require patience and precision...unlike his ironically perfectionist, but thoroughly inexact wife.
So when I set out to bake yesterday it was fairly momentous...heck I even separated an egg. If you've seen the disaster that is me trying to simply crack an egg you'd know what an immense accomplishment the separation task was.
I have to admit I utilized Sean's help to figure out the rolling (thankfully we had this) but everything else I did...oh no wait, I totally lied he measured out the flour while I manned the Kitchen Aid...I wouldn't want him reading this and seeing that I didn't give him full credit.
Today I packaged up some to send to work with Sean (to share during the 15 meetings he had scheduled). I also made a little thank you bag for my mom because the recipe came from one of the pile of cookbooks she recently gave me.
I posted the recipe (and a PDF you can print out) here.
It's just the beginning of a summer of cooking...who knows what's next.Actually I do know, I volunteered to make BBQ chicken for a neighborhood get-together this weekend so next is figuring out how to make a good homemade BBQ sauce...I have a pile of recipes ready so I can pull from them to concoct something myself...happy to make something with a little of this and a lot of that after my foray into have-to-measure-carefully baking.
