I have been baking a lot of bread lately, everything from Dinner rolls, cinnamon rolls, ENGLISH MUFFINS (what a pita these were). I have tried a few dinner rolls and still like my one from The Better Homes and Gardens cookbook I got as a wedding gift from my Grandma 20+ yrs ago. I spend a lot of time on Allrecipes.com I love that site. I really like the fact that people rate the recipes, at least then I know how others feel about them before I make them.
I have seen the movie Julie and Julia and that was great. I gave Beef Bourguignon a whirl yesterday and it turned out great even though I didn't bother with the last 3 steps. Basically I put it int he oven and we ate it out of the oven. The other 3 steps seemed kinda useless, I had no BABY onions to brown and I did saute the mushrooms though I only had about .25lb of sliced (hers called for whole quartered) and I ate them since there were so few...The carrots turned out AWESOME and the sauce/gravy it was in was so velvety....I wish I had gotten more meat to cook up to do it with-but I am trying to not spend so much, and I have a TON Of meat in my freezer. The only reason I bought these 2 small packages I did, was I had some wine tags to use that expired that day.
Today is the first day of Super doubles. I did shopping for my mom and great aunt along with my own.
