I’m a MEAN Mom!
I mean, look at this…
I baked Chappy HOMEMADE biscuits (thanks to the book Paula sent us).
But then I made him sit and wait … and wait … and WAIT while I took picture after picture…
Can you see the drool on the floor?
He’s not the only one I baked for today, though. I made Mom some “Amish Cocoa Squares” from the Espresso-Love-person’s cookbook. (Table Talk–definitely a keeper. We’ve tried four of its recipes so far and they’re all good.)
I cooked streudel for Dad … although, it was a frozen one. I do NOT do streudel from scratch!
Not to mention banana bread. (Yes, I always bake it in a bundt pan–it cooks more evenly and looks prettier!)
I also worked on my test knitting for Ruth … and ran out of yarn about an inch from the end of the second mitt. This was leftover yarn from my Ingenue, and while I DO have another skein, I’m thinking that it would be silly to wind it into a ball just for the 10 yards or so I need to finish … so I think I’ll just finish the second mitt in the contrasting brown I used on the Ingenue anyway. I mean, I already know I like the colors together!
Okay, I have to go have a chat with Chappy. I mean, so I made him wait … I still made him HOMEMADE BISCUITS. How much trouble can I really be in??

Banana bread in a bundt pan. *boggle* So clever! Do you bake other quickbreads that way?

Always! They never seem to bake through properly in a loaf pan, this just keeps everybody happy. I’ve done this pretty much since that day–long, long ago–when I turned a pound cake out of the pan into my oven mitt and it BROKE and oozed raw, hot cake batter all over our dachshund, Jilly. Even though it had baked for over an hour and had passed the “toothpick test” and the “pulling away from the sides of the pan test” and the “golden brown test.” Jilly luckily wasn’t burned, but that made me start thinking about alternatives!
You are mean! But then again, homemade biscuits. And blog pix. Alas, Chappy, sacrifices must occasionally be made….

It was a perfect weekend to be baking. If I were at your house this weekend, I’d be drooling on the floor too. The mitts look excellent!

Awww - Chappy is so cute. The drool is hilarious. I make Wilma wait, too. Now if I could just get her to sit and wait when I have company come to the door….

Everything looks perfectly yummy, including the mitts. I made dog biscuits for a four-legged friend once, but her people ate them all!

OMG! Those Amish Cocoa Squares look so flippin’ good. And I have no chocolate whatsoever in the house!
