I can’t believe it’s almost August. We’re bidding a fond farewell to Marion Cunningham and celebrating what would have been Julia Child’s 100th birthday this month. Bake on!
August 7 is the Berry Galette on page 377 hosted by Lisa of Tomato Thymes in the Kitchen and Andrea of The Kitchen Lioness
August 21 is (are?) Popovers on page 213 hosted by Paula of Vintage Kitchen Notes and Amy of Bake With Amy
Tuesdays with Dorie 
Fantastic! I am thrilled to host next month! August is my birthday month and I love fruit galettes with berries. So summery.
We´ll be celebrating with you Andrea!
Paula, thanks, wonderful to see that you are going to be hosting too! Love it!.
Congratulations Andrea! So looking forward to see your Berry Galette.
(for the Birthday wishes you’ll have to wait till your B’day – here in the northern part of Switzerland it bring bad luck to send the wishes in advance (don’t ask me why!)
I take this opportunity to say sorry to everybody for not having visited your blog and left any comments for the semolina bread yet.
We returned last week from our holiday and has soo much to do.
Promise to comment soon.
Love & best baking to everybody
Thank you, Carola – same rules apply around here, no congratulations in advance. Your idea with respect the th Birthday Cake for Julia Child´s 100th birthday is a good! I would participate!
Love to be hosting the popovers!
Looking forward to hosting popovers with you, Paula! Now I just need to find a popover pan.
Glad to give you an opportunity to shop. ;-)
Me too! There´s a muffin pan variation also… if everything fails
How much fun this will be to be a host. I am thrilled to co host with Andrea of The Kitchen Lioness.
Lisa, same here, I am thrilled to be co-hosting with you!
I think this looks like a wonderful recipe and should be delicious.

I have a question (that I’ve alredy asked but wasn’t ansered yet)
Aren’t we really going to bake anything (as a group) for Julia Child’s 100th Birthday on August 15th?
We should! One idea is to do an extra post on Tuesday 14th, but I don´t know how many will agree…
Maybe make an easy recipe, and be free to add a twist if we want…
Paula, good luck with hosting. I know it will be good! :)
For those that don’t want to buy a popover pan, here’s a link to a photo of popovers made using a muffin pan. For as much as I love baking gadgets, etc, I know I will not be making these often. So, thank goodness for the pan variation.
Made these once before, very delicious.

Thanks Carmen, always spot-on!
Thanks, Carmen. This is probably what I’ll do. I can’t see adding another piece of equipment to my kitchen–not when I can make my muffin pans do double-duty
I think the recipe calls for using a muffin pan doesn’t it? (have not read it recently) And filling every other hole to give room for rising.
Cathleen, yes it does. I wanted to share a photo of it….
I made this twice already…I use the jumbo muffin pans. They look great. Not as gorgeous as the popover pan, but, works for me.
