Previous post concerned only my new Lemon Snicks with Honey Caramel Accents, top right corner of this photo. Directly below is the result of putting Regular Caramel into the Lemon Snick. In the middle, Lemon Snicks are accented with Raspberry Tidbits Baking Chips sent to me by my sweet cousin in Idaho. On the left, … More j’s Lemon Snicks varieties for Mother’s Day
“O-o-oh, I want THAT one, please.” What a sweet sound. The honey caramel meant to fill my new Lemon Snicks did not want to stay inside the cookie, maybe because caramel wants to escape the pocket when the temperature rises to 350 degrees F.

This large and enchanting seascape with elegant frame is another in which a mind can wander and get lost while having a cup of tea.

For the X’th time, a lovely dinner was created and the photograph forgotten until mere fragments were left, smashed up and partially sauce-covered bits of hard-boiled eggs. It all started with a photo and recipe in last week’s PCC flyer. I thought the recipe looked both tame and a bit familiar, so a quick trip … More Egg Korma, aka Hard-boiled Eggs in Spicy Tomato Sauce
Well, there are three loaves and there is a green tray. With lots of work going on in the back yard, men working in the heat, my sourdough starter unused for six weeks, what better than to exercise the starter and some muscles. A lovely 9″ loaf for each of us, mine shared with a … More 3 Loaves and some green things
The sweet little girl who lives next door to me had her 5th birthday on the 8th of this month, but the BIG party is today.
