Greetings all,
I know, another food inspired post by Posie, what is going on, she's a designer not a cook!! Well, influenced by the glamazon whom is Faux Fuchsia, who conincidentally posed the blog influence question today . . . i answered with homemade bread making. Back in the mid 90s when i was a keen newly wed, i used to bake our bread, from scratch, amazingly non-demanding for two people in the humid tropics of Darwin where dough rises instantly.
Fast forward 15 years of marriage & 4 children + freezing-cold-dry-yeast-rising-unfriendly-Canberra . . . Faux Fuchsia bakes her own bread rolls (with a red KitchenAid dough hook i'm guessing) so it brought back my passion & effort.
Yes, i was baking boobies, thanks children!!
Mmmm, with homemade butter to boot, they were delicious. I'd recommend you eat the day of baking, like they're going to last longer than 5 minutes once they're out of the oven??!! Are you under the influence of Faux Fuchsia too??
While the buns are in the oven, tee hee, i've been piecing together gazillions of multicoloured strips of fabric for a batch of pencil rolls . . . the Handmade Market is 18 days away, eekk & school holidays too, yahoo. My darling husband is only here for a few more days sob, in the meantime, suffer more delicious food posts.
As i've mentioned before, when he's home, every meal is a flavour sensation, he's such a great cook, i can't believe he has to eat ration packs like it's WW2 (when really it's a 21st century war) & he won't buy a BBQ for his bachelor pad in Brisbane, he considers that too moved in, it's nearly 2 years. He doesn't like seafood so that salmon sensation in the last post was in his absence, as he dashed to Sydney on Sunday. Last night was BBQ lamb with vegetable perfection, tonight it's that amazing tomato/ yoghurt/ butter marinade chicken he does on the BBQ, then oven, drool.
I do notice the dramatic increase in time i spend at the sink, washing those too-precious-for-the-dishwasher-kitchen-accessories like the KA food processor/ mixer/ blender/ pots & pans, even the garlic press (i have never proposed to be anything other than a bad cook, i use minced garlic from a jar, shoot me). I can say that i have never fed my children 2 minute noodles, macaroni cheese or potato bake, ever, not even as a side dish, they would refuse & demand meat. I don't microwave either, man, they won't eat anything from a frozen box in the oven, i just struggle along cooking from scratch, argh. They're totally into health. I'm just waiting for handsome soldier to retire & cook full time. I'm patient!! 4 more years??
What cooking/ baking/ making in your household?? Love Posie
