Again, the house smells amazing! How did your braiding go? Wreath or standard loaves? Do tell!
January recipes!!! And opinions needed, please
So, what would you like to make in the new year? One savory and one sweet, please! Don’t forget to include the page numbers.
Also, the first Tuesday is New Year’s Day. Would you (collectively) like to push back and post on the 8th and 22nd? Or on the 8th and 15th with the 29th as a rewind? I’ll go with the majority.
Let me know!
P & Q: Finnish Pulla
Is it for dessert? Snack? Breakfast? How do we make it better?
Tuesday Chatter
These made the house smell heavenly. Did you go the “baby” route? Did you change it up? That was a lot of molasses!
LYL: Gingerbread Baby Cakes
Let’s see ‘em!
The gorgeous example below was baked by Karen of Karen’s Kitchen Stories. You can see the recipe on her blog.
Looks like we’re sticking with hosts!
Thank you, everyone, for your thoughtful comments. It seems that more people like the idea of having hosts. As long as I keep getting volunteers, I’m happy to have folks host the recipes. Thank you for continuing to encourage folks to buy the book. Just some information for you all – we have almost 500 bakers who signed up (and continue to sign up) but only about 75 who bake along any given week. We ask that you bake at least once a month to be considered to host. People who haven’t hosted have dibs over those who have. Only 10-12 people volunteer to host any given month. Anyway….
Hosts!
December 4 – Gingerbread Baby Cakes on pages 247-248 hosted by Karen of Karen’s Kitchen Stories
December 18 – Finnish Pulla on page 106 hosted by Erin of The Daily Morsel
Thanks for stepping up! And please e-mail me a photo a day or two early if you can.
P & Q: Gingerbread Baby Cakes
So seasonal! How do we make them delicious?
Posing a question….
We’ve asked people to step up each month and become a “host” for a given recipe. The host (often) provides a photo for the LYL post and puts up the recipe on his/her site. Since we’ve asked that you not post the recipe and that we direct people to purchase the book if they’d like to try it themselves, a host seemed like a good idea.
Fewer and fewer people are signing up to host recipes each month.
My question — do we need a host? Many of these recipes are already floating around the web, and you can see video of Julia baking them with her chef friends.
Weigh in, please!
Happy Thanksgiving!
To all of our American friends – we hope the day is filled with fun, family, football (if you’re a fan) and lots and lots of delicious food. And to our non-American friends, happy Thursday!
