attempt at making raisins

conclusion: not worth the time investment. unless you live on a vineyard and have an over-abundance of grapes that you need to use up, just buy raisins.

the first of many attempts at chili

ingredients combined (below)

ready to slow cook! (below)

result (below)

I think the issue I kept having was that my vegetables were still hard/didnt cook all the way. maybe my slow cooker is old and is no longer working correctly.

Strawberry bread and jam

Summer=strawberries. My one true love. I’ve always loved strawberries ever since I was a kid. Maybe it’s a boring flavor, but I’m a boring person. I love the consistent and delicious sweet flavor.

Tried to make two strawberry focused foods.

1. Trying to make strawberry jam

Cutting up strawberries.

...And I forgot to take pics of the rest of the process. But attempt was unsuccessful. Too sweet and too watery. Jam failed to completely set. Possibly because I added a cup of sugar in late or because I overboiled.

2. Attempts to make strawberry bread...

I tried to make strawberry bread using strawberries I had frozen.

This was not a great idea because the melting strawberries added too much moisture to my dough

Resulting in a strawberry icecream-looking mess, yum

After baking. The end result was rather flat, but still tasty. 

The strawberries added touches of sweetness to a normal bread, lots of moisture.

Will plan to try making these again. Strawberries are worth it!

Look At This Bread

Tumblr is about bread.

Mary Colby Bakes (@marycolbybakes)

is baking through the classic recipes of Mary Berry.

Is that hand buried inside the loaf? Is this a bread glove? Yes, probably.

Brad Rohloff (@brohloff)

is an artist whose name sounds like “Bread Roll Off.”

Look at this real physical patch he made:

Sourdough Bake Off (@sourdoughbakeoff)

is a bread nerd who takes great photos of their lil’ bread children.

This little guy looks like he’s going to skitter away like a crab!

Marty Lopez (@martylopez)

is a bread obsessed professor. Say that ten times fast!

Now whisper it to this challah:

Video Game Bread (@videogamebread)

is a mysterious blog that posted progress GIFs of an in-development game about making sandwiches and now posts nothing. Will it ever return?

No idea, but look:

[pauhhhhh]

Pretzels

Had a pretzel craving. 

Baking pretzels. Totally worth it.

(Should have taken more pics of the beautiful dough.)

Baking

First attempt. Too chubby, no holes, too much salt, soft like a bagel. Delicious, but we can do better.

Improvement! Holes developing.

Perfect pretzel. <3

Making some cinnamon sugar flavor!
