The More Things Change…
Unless you are a really good friend of mine, or a relative, or maybe a relative who is also a really good friend of mine (I believe there are some of those), you probably never knew my Auntie Fanny z”l. Which is a shame. Because if you had known her, you would have loved her…
I Bought a Book
I suppose you are wondering why I’m telling you that I bought a book. After all, this is a blog about baking, and even though I am not a baker I really should, at the very least, keep the focus on baked goods. Truth be told, I’ve bought quite a lot of books since I last…
There might not be a Partridge
I’m the first to admit that there are some things I am and some things I am not. If you are reading this, you already know that I am not a baker. Which doesn’t mean I don’t like baking. Au contraire. I love baking. It’s just, as I have explained over many pages, that I…
I had a Date with a Date: Apple Date Nut Bread
I have to be honest. Lately I’ve been having some trouble figuring out what day it is. From what I can tell, yesterday was Bakingday, today is Cleaningday, or to be more precise, Kitchencleaningday and tomorrow could be Gardeningday but I can’t say for sure. This is the best I can do at the moment…
It’s a messy situation: Cinnamon Buns
It’s true, I haven’t been here for quite some time. But unlike my absence from the shallow blog (in case you don’t know) where I made the case that it is, in fact, difficult to be shallow during a pandemic, I can’t use that excuse for this one. Au contraire. We know by now that…
It All Started on the 401: Rugelach
As I look back on what has become a somewhat longish life, there are adventures I’ve had with predictable endings from the get go and others that brought a few surprises. Those of you who know me well know that I didn’t always live in the frigid north-west of this vast country of ours. Nope.…
Times Up! Yogurt based loaves
Wondering where I’ve been? No worries. I’m exactly where I was last time we spoke. Which now that I think about it was quite some time ago. Here’s the thing. If you’ve ever lived through a pandemic you know that the concept of time has entered a whole new paradigm. Days feel like months, months…
It’s A Bagel!
For those of you who don’t know, I’m originally from Toronto. Now, in and of itself, that’s neither here nor there. What I can tell you is that the big city wasn’t quite so big when I was there. Don’t get me wrong. It wasn’t a village, although I did live in one for a…
Baking: Not Always a Bowl of Cherries
If you are anything like me, and I’m not suggesting you are, you know that no matter what you do, sometimes things go right and sometimes they go wrong. The thing is, from the get go you never know exactly how it’s all going to end up. Hopefully for all of us, we have more…
Carrot Zucchini Walnut Loaf: Stuck in a Rut? So What!
It has occurred to me lately that I might be in a bit of a rut. Even before this pandemic. Now I realize that those of you who only read this blog and not my “other” one don’t know all that much about me. So let me start by telling you that, while I don’t…
