This thread is amusing to me because I took a picture of a loaf of bread that I made and Rice wanted to know WHY.  I said because it was pretty and I wanted a picture of it.  Now I have a place to post it. ;D  Good idea, Erin!

My bread cooling on a rack.

oh man...warm freshly cooked bread with butter is so good. That sure is a good looking loaf you got there Jessica  :)

Mmmmmmmmmm...































...Cheesy Corn Bake!!!

The recipe really does sound delish Al.  Imma gonna have to try that sometime.

that looks awesome Al...I am gonna have to try it (minus the meat of course) :)

Behold!  These are the awesome loaves of bread that I kneaded with my mixer.  They turned out a lot more airy and perfect from that.  Letting them rise for an hour, punching the sh*t out of it, and then letting them rise for another hour might have helped, too. ;D

One loaf is almost gone. :o

lookin' good Jess. hey, can you make a loaf of sourdough  ::) 

They look good Jess.  I cheat and use a bread maker most of the time so my loaves look weird.


hey, can you make a loaf of sourdough  ::) 


All the recipes I've seen for sourdough talk about using some sourdough starter but none tell you how to make the sour dough starter  :-\\

I need to make a starter first.  That'll take awhile. :D

It's not very complicated to start one, but I just haven't done it yet.  Apparently there is a place in San Francisco that has used the same starter dough for about 150 years. :o

Here's a wiki article on it, too:

thanks Erin, it was yummy.  I think I may need to make another one this weekend

I had a Chocolate Donut yesterday and I wish I took a photo of it for this thread.

I love the idea of baking but lord knows I don't have the patience. Anyway great pics all. I love all the sweet stuff best - especially Quirk's cupcakes, but damn Badfinger's lasagne looks good! I like how there's not much cheese on it.

ok, here's the turkey I roasted on Thursday. I always roast breast side down for the first two thirds of the cook time. then in the last hour & a half I flip/manuever it to breast side up to get it all nice and golden brown.

I tried to take pics when they weren't in the kitchen, but Lady Di happened to walk thru as I was pointing the camera at the turkey, she looked at me in bewilderment, said nothing & then turned and walked away. so I think the answer to your question is Yes !  :D

last Friday night I made a MOUNTAIN of egg salad & tuna fish sandwiches for our poker party and they were a hit!  It took about 2 & 1/2 loaves of bread to make all these and I cut them into quarters.
