Back To Baking!

I might actually get to bake today! But what do I want to bake? Or what ingredients do I have on hand to cook with?

Being known for having ingredients on hand can be a good thing. Usually there are at least 4 dozen eggs in my refrigerator at all times. There is at least one 25lb bag of flour in my pantry. Along with a 25lb bag of sugar. Those are the extras. I have containers that hold those bags of white stuff too. The neighbors know all they have to do is ask!

Bread flour, you ask? Of course I have a 25lb bag of that too. And I buy yeast in 1 pound vacuum sealed bags.

I'm running down my list of staples to figure out what to do today. Making sure I have what I need. For my list of 'add-ins', I would need more space than the Internet would give me. (hahaha)

This has been the strangest winter we have had in a long time. I missed several days of work due to the weather. For some reason though I cannot tell you what I accomplished on those days. Can't remember if I even baked very much. On those kinds of days I usually get some soups made, but I don't remember if I even got very many soups done. And if I didn't cook, what did I do? My house isn't any cleaner! It was a long, dreary, snowy winter is all I remember. Well, not all I remember. But all I'm willing to talk about here.

Back to baking! What to bake? I'll let you know what I come up with! Maybe....

Bacon Cookies
Salty Sweet Cookies
Brown Sugar Bread
Chicken and Rice Soup
Crumpets
Scones

Maybe I should get out some old cookbooks and find something different to do? We'll just have to see.....
