Happy Halloween

Just wanted to say Happy Halloween to all of you! Our family made a cute little pumpkin cake. It's fun when the children and grandchildren help along. My grandson came over on Wednesday evening and we decided to make a round cake. We baked in a round bowl, two layers of cake dough. Then Thursday, a few of us decorated it. I was hoping to decorate the side with a face but it didn't hold the frosting, so we made the face on top. I still think it turned out cute. Next year, I'll bake a regular cake.

3 Starters

Just wanted to put on pictures of my three starters. It is hard to keep up with them, but has been fun making the different breads. The starters in the bowl are being refreshed and the starters in the jars is how I save them for the next time. I like them in the glassware, as to me it looks prettier. Enjoy!

A Wheat Bread

I made some wheat bread with the wheat levain and decided to make some rolls, along with the bread. The bread was beautiful until I took it off the towel and put into the oven. Once that happened the bread sunk a bit.

But the rolls and bread tasted just fine. Here are the pics. A picture of the dough, ready for the 1st rising.

The rolls and bread rising, doesn't that look yummy. Then the finished rolls, some with buttered tops, some without. I've decided it didn't matter if there was butter or not. And the bread not as pretty, but tasted great!

Any hints on how to take the bread from the tea towel to the oven without falling?

Temple Trip Oct 2008

Our church youth group went to the Oklahoma Temple this past week-end, what a great trip! The fall colors were just beautiful, which made the 2 1/2 hours trip even more special. Afterwards, we had a picnic at a place called, "Pops". The store sells over 400 types of sodas, most of them the orginal recipe. It is in Edmond, Oklahoma. Fun place. Hope you enjoy the pictures!
