TWD: Baking with Julia – Pizza Rustica
I was proud of my baking project this week. I deviated a little from the recipe, took into account other people’s comments on the TWD blog, and came out with something yummy! It wasn’t the hardest recipe that we’ve tackled so far, but it wasn’t the easiest either. Making dough for anything is still not … Continue reading »
TWD: Baking with Julia – Irish Soda Bread
I love this bread. What an easy thing. Who knew bread could be this easy? I feel that it has totally opened an entire world to me. Bread for potlucks. Bread for bake sales. These two things happen a lot in Nome, Alaska. And I am happy to say that I have a new, yummy … Continue reading »

Tuesday always comes back around.
As I mentioned before, I’ve joined the baking blog Tuesdays With Dorie. This means I’m baking, on a regular basis, with at least 300 other people around the world! It’s kind of neat to think that I’m bringing this project to Western Alaska. I wonder if I’m the only one… We’re working through the recipes in Baking … Continue reading »
a whole new world.
So this blog thing is kind of new for me. I had one before, but it was a joint effort between my husband and myself, and we really didn’t keep up with it well. Recently, my sister asked me to join an online baking adventure with her. See, we live on completely opposite coasts of … Continue reading »
