New Beginnings

My baking obsession started post retirement---I used to dabble occasionally but nothing serious--then I attended a bread making workshop--ooh la la, the aroma of freshly baked breads catches me in the gut & transports me to heaven. My first attempt at baking breads was a disaster--I added too much yeast & the mixture was so lumpen & gooey I simply had to trash it. Since that day I have not had the nerve to bake another bread --but I have baked muffins and cakes & cup cakes & meringues &puddings & souffles & what have you!!! and every time there is a success I jot down in my treasured recipe book & don't miss the purple pen in the pic--it has to be written in purple ink--that is the Rule-my Rule . Methinks this would be a very precious legacy to pass on to my dinky daughter who is so fond of good food but not so fond of cooking---at least she will not have to worry about a fiasco in the kitchen as the recipes are truly tried & tested.
