What do you do when you are reading books with recipes? Cook!!! The bread was from a recipe a friend sent. It is a cheesy bread with cojack/parmesan and I threw in some garlic flavored Mrs. Dash. When I make dough, I cheat and use the bread machine. It works VERY well!
It rose quite a bit too much since I stuck it in the addition to rise--where it was warm. It also got a little lopsided!
However, it baked quite well. I would have preferred a denser loaf, but as I said, it rose too far. It is supposed to rise just over the edge of the pan. As you can see, it rose quite a bit above the pan!
The outside has flecks in it-you can see the cheeses and spices. The inside doesn't show much, but the flavor is amazing! It has a lovely chewy crust.
It went well with the beef stew I had planned. Yeah, it was 88 degrees today, but when you have ingredients for something, you gotta use them!
For dessert and lunches, I thought I'd make brownies using a recipe from one of Ruth Reich's books. I took several photos, but alas..they didn't turn out well. I don't think the brownies did what they were supposed to, either. However, the verdict from Jon was brownies
should be all gooey and Steve said they were good. This recipe came from her book '
Tender at the Bone.' (I wonder if I should have taken a photo and posted it.......thankfully, the picture is a bit fuzzy!)
