>Twenty Loaves of Two-Breads-in-One
>Here’s variation of a festive bread I often make around the holidays. It’s really just a basic butter-and-egg bread dough recipe with the addition of other flavoring/coloring ingredients. In this case I mad one dough with the addition of roast red pepper puree and cheddar cheese, and another dough with the addition of spinach pestoContinue reading “>Twenty Loaves of Two-Breads-in-One”

Bicycle History
Here’s an interesting 10 minute clip of a BBC program on the history of the bicycle (a subject that I find fascinating). It’s a good video but you’ll have to click down advertisements like every 45 seconds or so. It’s interesting, after watching the first video (and thinking about it a bit), what a liberatingContinue reading “Bicycle History”

This recipe is simply a guide…it can be altered toContinue reading “>Cheesy Goodness”
