So interesting to see places off the coasts ... for the first time ever. Broadening one’s horizons is so inspiring. Until this year, my airplane trips were infrequent and my destination was always the other coast. I was a wide-eyed tourist in the Twin Cities and Texas Gulf Coast this month, a refreshing change of… Continue reading Change of perspective

Look, vegetables!
For today’s National Zucchini Bread Day, I was thrilled to find this research specimen on my Texas Gulf Coast Cupcakes and Blue Sky tour stop. I couldn’t resist opening my cookbooks, where I found other temptations to try in the future.
Twin Cities = too cool
I’m still processing how amazingly cool it was to take my first trip to the Twin Cities.

It was so satisfying to begin my home baking education last fall by experimenting with a carrot cake. I… Continue reading Deep roots

Having visited some of the leading bread bakeries in the country, I’m using today’s National Sourdough Bread Day as an excuse to publish my research. These may or may not meet the technical definition of sourdough. It doesn’t… Continue reading In praise of sourdough
