Way back in May....

 
 
We went to the beach house with Grandma Ruth and Grandpa Larry, we wandered seaside, enjoyed cannon beach and marveled at haystack rock... we found tidepools to amaze David with and had an all around fantastic time :)It was relaxing and fun and I can't wait to go again!

A Brief attempt at food bloggery...

 
I had a brainstorm a few days ago following success with a spiraled herb-cheese bread, and today I gave it a whirl :)

The basic plan was to modify a baguette recipe to use with sourdough then during the part where it is rolled up before the final rise I would add sandwich fixings for a spectacular hot "dinner roll". What I put on it was this: a combination of pepperjack and cheddar cheeses, fresh chopped spinach, crumbled bacon and sautee'd mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes and smoked deli turkey. It all got rolled into the dough to create a spiral of gooodness. I will call it a family friendly success, both my husband and son enjoyed it and while the stuffing weighed down the bread a bit and kept it from rising as much as I hoped, the bread was light and fluffy and the sourdough gave it just the tang it needed to stand up to the filling :)
Bon Appetit'
