Do You Bake when you are blue?

[Alix]

I do. I just whipped up a batch of brown sugar shortbread. I don't care now that it is nasty outside...it smells goooood in here.

When I'm blue I almost always bake somethhing of the chocolate persuasion. My favorite is hot fudge pudding cake.

 

[Alix]

OMG...that sounds FINE! Have you posted that recipe anywhere?

Baking cures a lot of ills. When it's nasty outside, I also like to make something I can pick at - chili, soup, stew.

[mudbug]

Going to be icky here tomorrow too. Now....what shall I make?

 

[honeybee]

Alix, do you have the recipe for your brown sugar shortbread? Sounds delicious.

 

[honeybee]

Brownies or chocolate chip cookies are always good.

Granny Smith Apples cored (unpeeled) but not a hole through the bottom, stuff with butter, brown sugar, crystalized ginger and maple syrup. When done, a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on top.

For me its about cooking...recently in one weekend I made a Veal Brisket Marsala w/Wild Mushrooms, Ministroni Soup and a Lasagna...There are only 2 of us!! The only reason I didn't bake a desert is I knew I would pick at it all weekend....must keep my figure..
My freezer is starting to look like a frozen food section in a market!

Honeybee I will post brown sugar shortbread in baking and desserts for you.

dessert is just something we didn't really have when i was a kid and i don't really like sweet stuff. (we all stayed really skinny, too, so i'm not complaining!)
but i love to make homemade fettucine.... it is a very similar concept to baking... only real difference is the actual cooking method that you employ....

 

[Juliev]

brownies or chocolate chip cookies.. but, I try not to do that often, because I end up eating them all. :?

 

[marmalady]

Cooking has always been my 'therapy'. We ate VERY well after my son's accident, lol!

 

[Alix]

I'm with you marmalady. When I am sad, I cook or bake. Our freezer is getting pretty full.

 

[buckytom]

alix, i really hope you are ok. i don't like hearing how much you are baking lately...lol.

 

[Alix]

Hey...I thought I was having a party here Saturday??? I need to stock up. I am OK bucky, just getting through a rough patch...and as you know...foodies gotta cook.

chez suz I would love to try the veal brisket marsala w/wild mushrooms however, I live alone and do not like leftovers. Make a suggestion for that to Jay for Zenon.
