    Baking failure and success


    My BFF from high school, Sandy, shared a few of her dearly departed Grandmother’s bread recipes with me last week.

    Yesterday, I tried the Honey Oatmeal bread…. As you can see, it didn’t turn out quite as planned. It’s still tasty, just short and dense.

    Today I had much better results! I used her bun recipe only I made it with half wheat and half white flours instead of all white flour. I can’t wait to sample one!!

    Tea Tuesday

    Does this look good or what?!?  I’m having some basic green tea with my new favorite sandwich. It a grilled cheese with a twist. I use olive oil on the whole wheat bread instead of butter. The cheese is provolone. To give it even more flavor I use stone ground mustard, baby spinach and sliced tomato.  OH YUM!

    Tea Tuesday with Lefse

    Happy Tuesday! We’ve got light snow flurries coming down at present. But nothing like the 10+ inches of snow we got on Saturday!! That was tree branch breaking snow…this is the pretty stuff.

    Today I’m having my tea with another special Norwegian treat…LEFSE. So, of course, I had to drink it out of a Scandinavian tea set.

    I made the lefse on Sunday afternoon. Each time I make it I get a little better at it. I don’t use a recipe because I hate to measure. Growing up I was always around when mom made her lefse. She would talk about how it should feel, look and taste. She never measured either.
