Making Our Marks: Summer Cooking

Summer Cooking

Did you read Emilie's posts about that really easy Artisan Bread? I've been "into" baking bread ever since Mary Wright taught me how back in 1986. Yeast is your friend. The artisan bread recipe is WAY EASY and WAY YUMMY. We made this extra cheesy loaf as a welcome gift for our awesome new neighbors.

Jeremy and I made homemade waffles for dinner recently, with a special guest helper, sometimes known as "Kitty" and sometimes known as "Chocolate Chip Chunk Cookie" (apparently this is perfectly normal to a 5 year old).

After helping us read the recipe, Kitty moved to a safer perch to keep an eye on the waffle maker (she's on top of the paper towel holder).

Yes, we love breakfast-for-dinner (aka "brinner") and we see nothing wrong with involving chocolate. I swear there were lots of bananas under there!

So why is the world's worst correspondent starting a blog???

I can't handle Facebook--it's information [I use the term loosely] overload and (on the rare occasions that I actually look at it) I end up in complete social networking paralysis--but Emilie has this adorable, funny, thought-provoking, quietly inspiring little blog and I've been itching to try my hand. I used to write stuff. Here's my chance to compose little anecdotes and feel like I'm being communicative even if I am using it as an excuse to sit all alone in a book-lined study. If nothing else, some of those digital pictures of which I am so proud might finally find a home where people will actually see them. And maybe, just maybe, something will be posted here that makes someone laugh, or smile, or cry, or feel a renewed sense of wonder or love or self-worth or perspective...just like Emilie's blog does for me. But probably I'll mostly just talk about food.
