Baking

Thanksgiving Day Greetings -

Every so often our yeast, flour, sugar, and all the other goodies that go into whipping up a batch of dough come together and heat up the kitchen. I'm compelled to make two loaves of whole-wheat white flour bread each week. Almost a ritual - mainly to knead. It helps that our oven can now be trusted.The bears were made for our Open House. The white sugar ones never made it to the shop.
They were cut from with the same cutters. Gingerbread stays so much more true to original shaping. Both were delicious. Good old Betty Crocker Cookbook.

On to the family festivities. I made a version of cinnamon apples in honor of Grandma Clara Reich to bring to our usual feast. Not the same recipe, hers used whole apples, but cinnamony. We'll see what her children think of the daughter-in-law's brave attempt.

On to the Grand Adventure!
Then back to sending out cards and magnets to shops, and working on commissions. Giving Thanks to all our customers, family, and friends!
