If you have an over ripe banana </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
lurking about or a stash </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of frozen ones, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Rose's Big Banana Muffins</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
maybe the answer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With a few simple pantry ingredients,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a batch of lovely muffins </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
are ready in no time at all.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added a dash of cinnamon and Rose's</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
option of chocolate chips plus</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
white chocolate chips.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Crumpets!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If DNA has anything to do with it,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
these should be a breeze to make</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
thanks to all my English, Irish and Scottish genes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Alpha Bakers </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
made them while baking through</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Baking Bible.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://baking-with-granny.blogspot.com/search?q=%2B+crumpets">Here</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
was that attempt.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oddly, I had a great deal of trouble getting</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the crucial amount of bubbles on that go 'round.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This try,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
out of The Bread Bible,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
there were plenty of bubbles.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Such a funny dough,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
very stiff and sticky </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
before the first rise.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
An absolute snap to mix the few</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ingredients together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After an hour rise, the bubbles began to appear</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and the dough completely changed texture.</div>

Stirred in the baking soda and water,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
left it for a short second rise</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and the bubbles made themselves known.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Success</i>!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
or so I thought.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think they needed to cook longer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The interior crumb wasn't right.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not giving up though!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They might not look </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
like Trader Joe's crumpets</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but the flavor is far superior.</div>

I was not expecting Rose's </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Carrot Bread</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to be a tea loaf.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had visions of a fluffy, yeasty,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
kneaded bread.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It couldn't have been easier to make.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In fact the entire batter can be mixed</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in a bowl with a spoon if one is so inclined.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was not.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hemmed and hawed making this </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
easy peasy bread</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
because I dreaded shredding carrots.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My Cuisinart had gone back home with Elle</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as the thing terrified me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was a super deluxe Christmas present</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
from her and I never overcame my fear.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The blades looked like lethal weapons in a Ninja warrior movie.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I bought the simplest one I could find</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and shredded these carrots!</div>
<br />

The raisins soaked in rum</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for a week. This is destined</div>

for my brother who doesn't like raisins.</div>

Making this pizza dough could not </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As per usual, I missed this bit</div>

For the marinara,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I drained San Marzano canned tomatoes,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
added minced garlic, pinch of sugar </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and then pulverized with an immersion blender.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The result was a less watery sauce.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Covered in mozzarella, basil and parmesan,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it baked in about twenty minutes.</div>

After reading the instructions </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a few times,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I played it safe and made a list.</div>

<i>Dough after the first rise</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are so few ingredients;</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
unbleached flour, yeast, salt,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
milk, walnuts and walnut oil.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The texture of the dough is very stiff</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
compared to other breads we have made.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After each rising, and there are three with</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
additional rest times,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the dough becomes fluffier.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was a bit tricky kneading in the walnuts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

With so much oil added in between risings,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had difficulty getting the bread to knead</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
back together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I would really like to see a video of</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for the last few minutes</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
until the internal temperature was reached.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I pulled it out,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
all I could think of was </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the Disney song from Peter Pan</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Never smile at a crocodile"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will say this is an amazingly</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
textured bread.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It reminds me of our family's</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
very favorite pizza crust</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
from an authentic Italian pizzeria,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
minus the walnuts.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This bread peaked my curiosity</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I've spent a fair amount of </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
time watching different bakers</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
making it on youtube.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'll definitely have another go at Fougasse.</div>

This is wonderful bread toasted,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
just like Rose says in her recipe</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for Flaxseed Bread.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A truly simple bread to make</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with very few risings,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it came together quickly </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and easily.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So easily,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in fact,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this little lady </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
made it entirely on her own!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2Qw1UOdHy9AgOt9b-N5-dkwo3BsP3VZpjchz2zlC5X3Yus7pEqfaL-GrotYJ4qlC2BCZpyJI22Doqvp5Uc8YLEZiBoCgMHnJkMgBDkStLUza9ywKatAVRQVkRWqdLe-1oPjwQidlfilj5/s1600/Flaxseed+bread+Mercedes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2Qw1UOdHy9AgOt9b-N5-dkwo3BsP3VZpjchz2zlC5X3Yus7pEqfaL-GrotYJ4qlC2BCZpyJI22Doqvp5Uc8YLEZiBoCgMHnJkMgBDkStLUza9ywKatAVRQVkRWqdLe-1oPjwQidlfilj5/s320/Flaxseed+bread+Mercedes.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She's ten years old now and loves </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
baking and cooking; it's at the top of her list</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of fun things to do.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the first start</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to finish loaf of bread she's made.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My only interference was </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
wrestling the dough into the </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
too small loaf pan.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I stood with her as she weighed</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
out the ingredients and promised</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the craggy dough would magically</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
turn into lovely dough with those </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
two little teaspoons of yeast.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The dough was a little too dry</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so more water was added.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not sure if it was because we used</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ground flaxseed or due to an</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
unexpected cold snap that</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
left us with very dry air.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I kept telling her that my fellow</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
bakers always say bread dough</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
is very forgiving.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Definitely need to invest in a slightly bigger bread pan.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My other one was way too large for this recipe.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
two hours for the bread to cool.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wrapped up she took it home where it was </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
very much enjoyed toasted with Irish butter</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Rose's Olive Bread </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
is a nice easy recipe.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It turned out to be one of those</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
breads that puts me in </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a good mood to make;</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
not too much fiddling,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
straight forward with minimal rising times</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
resulting in a great bread</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for minimal effort.</div>

This was the first time I proofed a bread</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in a towel lined strainer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The dough is lighter than air.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Flipping it over onto the pan</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
took a gentle hand so as not to deflate.</div>

This bread is a fantastic surprise!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is better than any rye bread</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have ever tried.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The caraway seeds</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
give it a wonderfully delicate flavor.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was an easy bread to make, too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My oven must be running hot</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
because I baked it less than the times</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
indicated.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Even so, the crust has a great crackle.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Definitely </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
one to make again and again.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The crumb is incredibly delicate</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
when fresh baked.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Rose advises flavor is better</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the next day, which does</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
seem to be deeper and fuller.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The crumb feels heavier</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but is still tender.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The only difficulty I had</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
was it baked too dark even</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
taking it out of the oven</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
earlier than the least amount</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of recommended time</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
turning down the oven twenty five degrees</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for the last ten minutes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not sure if cake strips would have helped.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next time I'll start checking for doneness</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
way earlier, when the kitchen is wafting</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with delicious lemon scent.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the recipe for </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://avidbakerschallenge.blogspot.com/">the Avid Baker's Challenge</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was a real learning experience.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Growing up Stollen was not on </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
our Christmas table.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been intrigued since eyeing Stollen</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in a delightful bakery years ago.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The few store bought ones</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I purchased</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
were disappointing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Very hard, dry and tasteless.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The recipe calls for soaked dried fruit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This fruit has been soaking</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in rum for so many years</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've actually forgotten the exact number.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was intended for fruitcake.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm not sure why,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
other than making two mistakes,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
why the dough was so wet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I poured all the flour into the sponge</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
instead just one half cup.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Also I had to pull it out of the "proofing" microwave box</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and add a forgotten egg yolk.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used White Lily flour and am</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
not sure if that affected the dough.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was more of a thick cake consistency.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is tasty though!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Very tender crumb.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The almond paste center is amazing.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our fearless leader,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://rosesalphabakers.blogspot.com/">Marie</a>,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
thought it would be great <i>fun</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to once again make</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the first recipe we</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
tackled </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
upon commencing </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
baking through</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Baking Bible,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
namely this Kouigns Aman.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did not share that sentiment</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
because the first time around was daunting,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but I understood the reasoning.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We've weighed</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
flour, sugar, butter</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in all their various </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
percentages and incarnations,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
slogging along </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
through recipes</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that would fell many a baker</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for two years and eleven days.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If memory serves correctly,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and that's a big if,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
we only took one or two weeks </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
worth of breaks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Baking at this pace is grueling.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Missing a week, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
or weeks at a time,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
is like falling off a horse;</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
best be pulling up those boot straps</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and climbing right back into the saddle.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Marie never missed a beat</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
even when she traveled the world</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with her personal photographer/husband</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Jim.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He gets credit for sifting through our photos</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
when there were many superb</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ones to choose from for the weekly roundup. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have loved seeing not only</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
my fellow Alpha's bakes</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but photographs, as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Seriously,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
many are magazine worthy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So with</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
two years of baking under our belts</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
these should have been a snap,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The dough is easy peasy</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to mix up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How such few ingredients</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
transform into </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
KA's</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
is nothing short of alchemy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBBUiDM1qkLEipsZjZ6qUMISpu-2W0jNrVZgC93YN2VeQpAavIct0e45BYCBHdepFhQphJdFAMh32gx757ce0gDWM4CL7G-yvnHdBiDjUFNPRWezYXti_BQcW0IB5cYqu-R4vjH9Yd65Jy/s1600/Kougan+fold.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBBUiDM1qkLEipsZjZ6qUMISpu-2W0jNrVZgC93YN2VeQpAavIct0e45BYCBHdepFhQphJdFAMh32gx757ce0gDWM4CL7G-yvnHdBiDjUFNPRWezYXti_BQcW0IB5cYqu-R4vjH9Yd65Jy/s320/Kougan+fold.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After that it's a lot of </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
folding and rolling and waiting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The dough texture is </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
fun to work with.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The butter behaved.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's only when sugar</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
gets involved in the last steps</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that rolling is a bit dicey.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And that's where <strike>swearing</strike> doubts</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
make themselves known.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Still,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with Rose's recipes,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it's often blind faith,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
keep calm and carry on.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There have been many</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a time I could </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
easily have cracked a bottle</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of rum, brandy, whiskey, bourbon, Kahlua,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
chambord, Grand Marnier</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and whatever </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
leftover Baking Bible </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
spirits are in the cupboard</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
when I was on the verge of baking implosion</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm not a big fan of alcohol</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
other than Amaretto</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and oddly</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Rose never called for Amartto.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If she did,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I drank the last of it and can't remember.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My six and half year old granddaughter</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
made good on her</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Only she declared Blueberry muffins</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
needed to be made</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
because evidently,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as grandmother,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I set some sort of precedent </div>

without realizing it.</div>

Next thing I knew it was tea party time.</div>

Kouigns Amann had been demoted.</div>

for this all day venture.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will make a note to pull them out</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
at the least amount of baking time</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and throw a foil tent over for the last</div>

ten minutes.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
French Toast</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as a variation.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
after all this effort</div>

but</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
curiosity won out</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Rose's Rich and Creamy Ginger Scones</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
are aptly named.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They are so delicate.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used left over Irish butter</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
which is higher in fat</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and thus were</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
extra creamy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Her method of whipping</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the cream and adding it</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to the mix does make for an airy crumb.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Trader Joe's didn't have candied ginger</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
because it has lead in it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yikes!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added left over golden raisins which</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
were soaking in rum</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
from a previous recipe of Rose's.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They go perfectly with the ginger.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I missed the instruction to make sure</div>

they were a couple inches apart from each other.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Obviously mine were too close</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but I cut them apart and they were fine.</div>

I love Rose's method</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for making these scones</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and can see the flavors</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was an uphill</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
battle for me</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
getting here.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I felt like the tail end runner</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in a marathon </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that had to be carried across the finish line.</div>

with the Alpha Bakers/Heavenly Cake days</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
since she was three</div>

After stirring the toffee mixture</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
she decided</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to add a </div>

Baking can be lonely.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Having a child in the kitchen</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
always makes things lively.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Her younger sister</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

finale.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This toffee is good.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It took a long time to reach the correct temperature.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I forgot the last step to put in the vanilla and baking soda.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thankfully sous chef can read well</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and caught my mistake.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I only topped it with chocolate and nuts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Rose calls for also coating the bottom.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It truly is luxurious and buttery.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All I can say is they are finished.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been dreading these </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but there was no <strike>hiding </strike>putting</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it off any longer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was the last recipe I had to catch up</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with the Alpha Bakers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was the multiple steps</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and pages of instructions</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that I dreaded</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but I never thought </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this would happen.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All the little two inch circles </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ran a muck, revolted,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
joined forces</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and turned into a giant blob.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just cut them into rectangles</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and carried on</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
rather than chuck the entire</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
thing,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
because I wasn't starting again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Making the pastry cream</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and marscapone mixture</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
wasn't difficult,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
just time consuming.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had my doubts about cooking</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the dried fruit but honestly,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
once the rum (out of Bourbon)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and orange zest was</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
added, it escalated to an</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
entirely new dimension.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And this is where I could have </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
easily stopped </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
doling the</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
lovely creamy wonder</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
into pudding dishes instead.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But I stuffed the cannoli</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and finished the ends</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with toasted pistachios. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

is make me want to make</div>

Yet again, another outstanding</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
bowl of cake batter</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
from Rose's repertoire. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This time it's white chocolate.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I paid attention and followed the instructions</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to make the sauce first.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The meringue contortions weren't that difficult.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not sure if finally after baking through</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
two of Rose's books it's getting easier</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
or this was just a lucky day.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Evidently a few errant raspberry seeds</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
made it through the fine mesh strainer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These are pretty fancy cupcakes</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
even though mine don't appear to be.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The flavor is delicate,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
definitely a treat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Perfect for a </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Fancy Nancy</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
tea party.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was supposed to be in</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a beautiful meringue pie shell.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just didn't have it in me to fiddle</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with the pie shell</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in cold, rainy weather.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This will be a spot on dessert come the </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
hot days of summer.</div>

I've been eyeing these cookies</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for years.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They were recruited in the making of this </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
supposed to be pie</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and worked like a charm.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Trifles are like that, though;</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
easy to improvise.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I layered the cookies,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
melted white chocolate,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
pomegranate chiffon concoction,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
repeat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I forgot to fold the whipped cream into</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the chiffon mixture so layered that as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Drizzled with white chocolate and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the pomegranate glaze</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it's a pretty spectacular dessert.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
little morsels in chocolate ganache, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had visions of Lucy and Ethel</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
on the candy line.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Probably because</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it was a slap dash operation.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Rose's cake batters are dangerous.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Seriously,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
why bother baking them at all?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just hand out spoons and sit </div>

I used both a large sized Madeleine pan and a mini.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The larger size worked better for me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There were more casualties amongst the mini</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
which meant more </div>

to pop into my very willing mouth.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
is delicious!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My daughter said that this</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
would be the easiest recipe</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of Rose's I would ever make</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and she was right.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After soaking the golden raisins in rum instead of whiskey,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it was toss flour, baking soda, sugar, salt,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
buttermilk and butter together with the raisins.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the dough hook on the Kitchen Aid</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for a brief knead.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I forgot to compare recipes</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
since my book is a rogue copy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sure enough, it didn't specify</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to drain the raisins</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I poured the whole</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
lot in. You can see how</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
wet the dough is.</div>

Patty asked if I made the whiskey butter?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ooops, forgot!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I soaked some more raisins</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in rum and whipped up the butter.</div>

and the rum butter</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
truly set it off.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm so surprised by the flavor profile.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really like rolled caked desserts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Making one seems so intimidating</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but Rose's instructions</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
are easy to follow.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK2nBwfWlGUf9OjwOv5E0sTddEzUYKW3RHp7BicDW626zw9Krqz_voEebd1uUhEWw5S5KF1e8Maws-vJaZ91y6w5IKzgsSf8oeLcCNzlaJH5mXcJ8HZ9P1vaq6vehNdlpr3UAHXxcqxjCl/s1600/prune+roll+cut.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK2nBwfWlGUf9OjwOv5E0sTddEzUYKW3RHp7BicDW626zw9Krqz_voEebd1uUhEWw5S5KF1e8Maws-vJaZ91y6w5IKzgsSf8oeLcCNzlaJH5mXcJ8HZ9P1vaq6vehNdlpr3UAHXxcqxjCl/s320/prune+roll+cut.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I could see this with many different fillings.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The caramel whipped cream would compliment</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
probably any type of fruit filling.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think it would be great as a summer</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
fruit basket cake.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since I like prunes,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to me they are like candy!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the prune levkar filling is nice</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with the caramel flavor.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
No monkey business with this recipe.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This bread is incredible!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It seemed so complicated</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but actually</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
turned out easier than I feared.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The kitchen was filled</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with a lovely aroma</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
while baking.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That gave me hope.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The caramel sauce even</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
turned out the right color.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Simply incredible.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is definitely </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
going to be a family favorite</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for years to come.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is more of a </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Vanilla Cheesecake with a Chocolate Center.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Obviously my marbling technique</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
leaves a lot to be desired.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Still, this is a wonderful</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
cheesecake.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I opted to use Lady Fingers</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
instead of making the </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
chocolate sponge cake base.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Chalk that up to </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
nothing more than laziness.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The top completely burned</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so I simply shaved it off.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
No trace of burned flavor.</div>

This is definitely a rich bread pudding.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I opted for the cake pan rather</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
than the ramekins.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made these a year ago.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They were little chocolate bombs!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Rich, dense, chocolate-y with a hit of bourbon;</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
cookies for grown ups.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They could easily be adapted for the underage</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
set by following Rose's substitution suggestion</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of omitting the bourbon and adding vanilla instead.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added orange oil and my oh my!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The combination was amazing.</div>

Rose's Araxi Lemon Cream Tart</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
is exactly how </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have always wished</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a lemon bar</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I thought this would be a simple</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
recipe to ease back into baking.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The dough was easy to mix up</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
especially since I used the dough hook</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
on the Kitchen Aid for the kneading step.</div>
