BRUCE'S BAKERY

I tried a new brownie recipe this afternoon.

It's called "Marbled Cheesecake Brownies"

See what you think.

Obviously this is a close-up and they haven't been cut into squares yet.

But my mouth is watering.

And typical of me, the number of pans and utensils dirtied was monumental.

COOKERY

Today another experimentation from the cookbook "At Elizabeth David's Table".

Coriander Musrooms.

I love mushrooms.

These are light and refreshing.

She says they're meant to be served cold but I couldn't wait and they were marvelous warm.

But I'm letting them cool now to see what they'll be like that way.

I'm not a cook but anyone can read and follow a recipe.

VENGEANCE

THOUGHTS

Gayle, the BAD, sent me this poem yesterday.

It's nice.

But it brings tears just now.

COUNTDOWN

 

THE FRIDAY FUNNIES

It's time to smile awhile and we begin with one for the eastern part of the United States.

Now if you're smiling, my work is done for today.

Except to wish you all a totally splendid weekend.

Here, kitty-kitty . . .

( . . . ah, the truth outs . . . )

SCENES FROM MY MONDAY

 

A survivor from the freezing overnight temperatues.

Finally pitied and brought inside.

Playing in the kitchen.

The last of some Piedmontese Peppers, ala Elizabeth David.

A halved mini red pepper containing a bit of tomato, some sliced garlic, some anchovy paste (salt and olive oil eliminated because it was in the paste. I didn't have anchovies.)

Roasted in a 350 oven for around 20 minutes.

Supposed to be served cold but I couldn't wait.

It was as good warm as cool later.

And finally, homemade Chicken Noodle (Gigli) Soup.

All this kept me busy through the day and sated.
