Finally got around to building my "high dollar" proofing box. First picture is the inside of the box w/transformer to the side. Happened to have the transformer on hand from my day's as a research chemist. Second picture is the outside of the box showing the temperature probe and the transformer.
Yawn.....
Oops... I forgot to slash it.....
Everybody seems to think I'm LAZY..
I don't mind, I think they're crazy......
I Made the whole wheat buttermilk loaf from JMonkey's Biga method.
It turned out wonderful... Really nice texture... smooth...and freshfeel in the mouth... I am never buying sandwitch bread again.... :) This was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks JMonkey :)
This week I made 100%Whole Wheat Strombolini. They were relly great and the kids loved them...

Super Bowl parties are a great excuse for trying new recipes. They also require lots of snack foods. So, when I was asked to bring some chips, I happily agreed. I was a good guest and took exactly what the hostess requested and then, well, then I improvised a little.
Going through my bread book library last night and discovered that I had two Laurel's Kitchen books. If anyone out there needs one, you can have one of mine for the cost of shipping...no charge for the book. Seem's like someone was looking for a copy awhile back. If you are interested, you can email me at
Think the cost of shipping would be around 4 bucks.

One of the grocery stores here in southern mexico has just brought in REAL hershey's chips in milk and semi sweet.
I thought this was an excellent time to try the Silpat (tm) cookie sheet liners I received from my sister for christmas. I had heard of Martha Stewart endorsing them along with several others,
My oven here is gas and very unstable when it comings to holding a temperature without fluctuating. The end result in cookies always seemed to be a slightly to moderately scorched bottom.
Hello,
This week I made some 100% Whole Wheat Sourdough Nut & Seed Torpedoes with walnuts, hazelnuts, flax, sesame & pumpkin seeds:
and Some Sourdough Whole Wheat bagels
