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 😂
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.
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!

Friend and blog follower Kristin and her husband Rick are visiting Australia. While snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef they saw this wine bottle covered with barnacles. And guess what! They thought of me.
Yes it’s a great find for a post. Thank you
I saw these two salt dough ornaments at the top of the box. I’d made and baked these in the mid 1970’s. I’d created all my family in salt dough. That’s my sister (holding a NYC map as she still lives in Manhattan) on the right and the one on the left was a likeness of Marjorie Lutkins holding a crossword puzzle. She was a generous family friend who’d join us on holidays with another friend Naomi Zieber Naomi was a real Charles Dickens fan and had a full set of Royal Doulton China figures and mugs of all the characters from his books
That these ornaments have survived 5 decades amazes me. Recently I found Naomi with her head broken off but I glued it back.
So there are three surviving salt dough ornaments that are fifty years old.
