I think I owe you a cake post. Here I am talking about hotels, and travels, and footy but there has been a distinct lack of cake. Now anyone popping over from October Unprocessed ~ waves ~ hi! ~ is looking at this cake and probably saying 'how is she listed on the #unprocessed posting roll-call and baking stuff like this?'. Easy, it's not for me ... I have been making the cakes for work birthdays lately and, well, there is not quite the desire that I have to eschew sugar and butter and white … [Read more...]
Cornbread Waffles with Cinnamon Apple Compote
Now I figure that all this trip recapping will go on for quite a while, and in the meantime the least I can do is make you brunch. That said, it is only fair to let you know that the sub-title of this post is 'the brunch we didn't have until now'... Someone Tweeted a pic the first day of Blogher from Cafe 222 in San Diego. I looked it up on The Google Machine and decided that as it was just on the edge of Gas Lamp, and only blocks from our hotel, we needed to go there immediately if not … [Read more...]
Pancake Face
So when I was young, my grandmother used to bribe me to go to church with her. ‘Come on, ammoninni, [pronounced ‘ah-MO-ni-ni’ and possibly spelled ‘amuninni’ it means ‘Let’s go’ in the Sicilian dialect of Italian, but we always thought it was ‘Hurry up’. It got said A-LOT] it’s Sunday, lets go to church and I’ll take you to IHOP afterward for breakfast, you can get anyyyyything you want.’ and off we would go. I remember sitting there for the hour or so and wondering what on earth required … [Read more...]
Whole Wheat Brown Sugar Pancakes
Hi there, so here's the thing, all I have for you today is pancakes. No random tales, no obscure reference, no ridiculous observation, just pancakes. I've been on a bit of a hiatus recently if you haven't noticed, and there's been some soul feeding going on: I've been at BlogHer '11, and was inspired by so many incredible women, and stories and sessions, I have a stack of collected business cards and new blogs to visit, and whole bag of swag to find uses [or recipients] for; I've been … [Read more...]
Banana Split Spread
This conversation occurred the other day on the way to work: RJ: oh, so yesterday I ...akldj kdfa kadkjfjf ja sjlkh.... JJ: hold on, hold on, sorry, can you tell me that again, I wasn't listening at all, I was thinking about bananas. RJ: of course you were. Lately, this spread is what I've been thinking about. This, I could eat with a spoon [humm...did eat with a spoon...may be eating with a spoon right now] but it is hypothetically meant to be spread on things. Many years ago I came to … [Read more...]
Packaging!! This is a really big deal.
Really big. Huge. This means that 84th & 3rd is about to launch @ThePantry! And what does that mean? Cake! and Cookies! and Slices! and Puddings! and Muffins! It means all natural and preservative free, but more importantly, delicious and addictive and Chocolate and Lemon and Vanilla and...hungry yet? … [Read more...]
Banana Bread French Toast
Yep, this is the second French Toast post in as many months. But the first one was savory, so it had to be balanced out, right? I may have a problem. On a list of problems to have, I'm ok with this one. The colour issues on this photo, not so ok with them - harsh light aside, can anyone tell me how to shoot berries and not have them black?? Anyway, imagine them a lovely dark purple. I have to admit that this has been sitting in a folder for a while in anticipation of sharing Banana Bread … [Read more...]
