I made and photographed a Rainbow Jell-o recipe in a Bundt pan as the mold. A clear layer then the other portion with a bit of yogurt. Took hours as each layer had to set before you could pour in the next.

I thought I had a future in abstract photography using jell-o 😂

A Two Loaf Morning

French Sourdough on the right

I’m trying to get into the Sourdough baking rhythm/routine.

These loaves were recipes from a cookbook I took out of the library

Classic Sourdoughs

by Ed Wood, Jean Wood

Next time I’m not going to do two different recipes simultaneously.

Fruitcake by Candlelight

My friends Linda and Eileen baked a delicious fruitcake and shipped it before Christmas. I guarded it carefully and was waiting for my sister to arrive for a visit. She arrived on the train from NYC Tuesday night. Tonight I unwrapped the liquor soaked muslin and sliced it by candlelight. We each ate a piece, savoring the fruits and nuts that were perfectly delicious.

Do you like fruitcake? Not everyone does. We enjoy it immensely. Thank you Linda and Eileen. Voted Best Fruitcake in the USA!

Einkorn Sourdough Loaf

What is Einkorn you might ask. (click for answers to FAQ)

“Einkorn (Triticum monococcum) is one of the world’s oldest cultivated wheats(10,000 years ago) known for its nutty flavor, high protein, and nutritional value, containing more carotenoids, B vitamins, and minerals than modern wheat”

It was delicious.
Even better toasted with Italian Butter and jam.
