Hi Sistas'

I've been a bakin' so sit back and let me tell what's worth your time. (oh, you know when it comes to recipes - you can't really contain me to just 2 cookbooks - don't 'cha?)

Life changing recipes (this week:-)

Nordstrom's White Chocolate Bread Pudding - it was truly a religious experience. Glorious thang about it - you can do ahead and then warm 15 minutes before. And as you all know, I am all about that!!

I also did Paul Prud'homme's Pepper Patch Shimp and it was spicy and delightful.

I executed the Cafe Volcano's - and it was aptly named - stove was a smokin' 1/3rd of the way into the cookin' time - just like burnt lava - go figure. Threw away most of them - some salvageable - don't really know what went wrong. Okay taste - neato texture - crispy on outside, but I wouldn't do again.

So, I plowed on to try the Chewy Chunky Blondies on page 109. I liked them, reminiscent of Hello Dolly - an all time, old time fav! I cut them diamond shape - thinkin' outside of the box.
On a 9x13, cut from NW corner to SE, and continue on, and then straight across - got it? I didn't for at least 2 more recipes:-)

Anywho, I think Pammie would be a great addition. I am a tad confused (surprising isn't it?) on the schedule. Are we all to try the same recipe each week - you know I am a free spirit on recipes....but I can try anything..

You, my sista's are so loved,
