Baking Day
Last weeks baking/cooking day:
I made 2 kinds of cookies: White Chocolate with Almonds and Chocolate with Cranberries. White chocolate, cocoa and cranberries from the USA… thanks to Jesseka, Rebekah and Joye)
Ciabatta bread
Spanish Tortilla (potato and egg omelet)
Roasted potatoes (while to oven is on baking… might as well throw in some other food to cook!)
Oven fried chicken wings (wings are my favorite piece on the chicken)
Cream of sweet potato soup (I bought fresh sweet potatoes which are only available 2 months a year)
Pilau Biryani Masala using beef (got the spices while in Pakistan)
Sweet potato casserole (frozen and saved for Thanksgiving)
Broccoli with pine nuts (that you Jesseka for these pine nuts… they are a TREAT)
This food will last us for several days. The tortilla is for breakfast or supper.
All done in a few hours with food to eat, money saved and more time in the office!
Many Blessings, Bobbie

I am the main beneficiary of this baking day…
cookies –
I’m still working on these but they are like the loosing army in a battle, ‘ever diminishing’…
Ciabatta bread –
I ate well over half of that stuff, GREAT!
Spanish Tortilla (potato and egg omelet) –
a wonderful “ethnic” spanish food, the most common known. It takes a long time to learn how to make one of these correctly and this one was very correct!
Roasted potatoes (while to oven is on baking…
might as well throw in some other food to cook!) – I even eat the skin! Imagine… these are tubors that grow in the ground!
Oven fried chicken wings (wings are my favorite piece on the chicken) –
mine too! all gone!
Cream of sweet potato soup (I bought fresh sweet potatoes which are only available 2 months a year) –
This was a new plate and I thought it would be strange but after tasting it I was pleasantly surprised, very good.
Pilau Biryani Masala using beef (got the spices while in Pakistan) –
It was so spicy that it made my nose run and my mind think back to our trip to Pakistan several years ago… WOW! Those people would have a natural affinity for Mexican food…
Sweet potato casserole (frozen and saved for Thanksgiving) –
I’m waiting until thanksgiving to know what this will be like…
Broccoli with pine nuts (that you Jesseka for these pine nuts… they are a TREAT) –
But, they’re all gone!

That tortilla looks great. I just ate a nasty piece of pizza while sitting in a meeting. It feels like it will take a few days to digest. Actually, it all looks great.-John

Nothing like that tortilla espanola… real comfort food! no matter where I am in the world I will ever be THANKFUL for knowing this food and continue to make it.
Angie says:
The Spanish tortilla thing looks so good. The pict reminds me of hash browns which I LOVE! I think I am hungry. I must go eat because I am drooling on my laptop.
