Text of the page (random words):
and wonderful all at the same time now i haven t blogged in a long while two and a half years worth of a while things have been hectic here i have 3 boys ages 12 10 and 7 the youngest who has various special needs in epilepsy and autism it keeps things extremely interesting and fun and sometimes exhausting and frustrating but its a very full life and i adore it however its kept me from this space for too long i hope that twd will get me back to regular blogging again now i am posting late for a tuesday which really is not unusual for me i m a procrastinator but this time my middle boy bro has stomach flu and it threw the schedule off i also didn t feel like it was kind to be baking cookies while he was unable to keep anything down today he was finally able to eat again so i got the dough going and baked them up this recipe is so simple and easy just with a small hours rest in the middle i did add more vanilla than called for well because i always do i also added lemon zest to the glaze and topped with some coconut sugar that i was gifted at some point my resident tester liam deemed them good but added they get all their flavor from the glaze i concur a good simple cookie that will be perfect with my coffee tomorrow i say we are off to a good start special thanks to jules and steph for helping get twd bcm started muah date november 11 2014 author lw comments 21 comments random slush standard i baked up cupcakes yesterday for liam and his friend i used a mix yes yes i know but mixes can be so cheap i churched them up with funfetti sprinkles in the cake and i made my own cream cheese frosting i finished a hat earlier in the week and it was just chilly enough to rock it a few days this week i love the colorway its beautiful i am so sad that the dyer has decided to call it quits it hailed in the middle of this week and colby was fascinated he stared out the front door until it stopped its very cool watching your child discover something new lastly after finishing my hat i picked up a shawl i had started a year ago the rows are getting so very long and i think i am only about half way done i am determined to finish it though even if it takes me another year that s all for my sunday random slush maybe i will remember to come back next week with another update happy april to you all date april 1 2012 author lw comments 1 comment baking with julia chocolate truffle tartlets standard i almost did not get this one done i forced myself into it yesterday as i was determined to make it through the first month of twd i used a combination of bittersweet and milk chocolate to make the batter chips ahoy milk chocolate and white chocolate for the mix ins and put cadbury mini eggs on top this could not have been easier to throw together my children loved this tart i call that success check out the recipe on our hosts blogs steph spike jessica and jaime if you want to see hundreds of tarts see the lyl post on the twd website next up rugelach date february 21 2012 author lw comments 8 comments twd baking with julia white loaves standard its that time again i couldn t be more excited about the start of twd baking with julia i have been thinking about planning out and anxious for this next round of twd for over a year now many emails have flown between myself jules dorie and a slew of my favorite twd bakers about how we wanted to tweak this go round i think we did a handsome job of it if you have not joined our baking army yet what are you waiting for we are 300 members strong and would love to have you here we go the book baking with julia by the brilliant and ever so sweet dorie greenspan the recipe for this week is white loaves i have bad luck with white bread i have given it a go several times and always with lackluster results in fact i gave it up until now i was forced to make this recipe and i am so glad that i was strong armed this recipe changed my mind it came out so well on my first try i made 2 more loaves the following day i did tweak the recipe the 2nd day by adding a cinnamon swirl to the dough to do this after you have rolled the dough out put a thin layer of butter on the dough and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar then roll up as instructed easy as pie old school twders i used the cinnamon swirl recipe from the raisin swirl bread in bfmhty if you are afraid of yeast or of making your own white bread don t be this recipe is easy to follow and has wonderful results jump right in jules is my co host for the week please go check out how the bread came out for her she also has the recipe posted and if you are interested in what the twd baking army thought check out the lyl post on the twd site i cannot wait to see all the golden loaves check back in 2 weeks when we make chocolate tartlets date february 7 2012 author lw tags baking with julia bwj tuesdays with dorie twd white bread comments 27 comments tuesdays with dorie kids thumbprints standard in keeping with tradition of the past 4 years i woke up early this morning on tuesday to hurriedly make this week s recipe the last recipe from baking from my home to yours there are a lot of things i would like to say many that i have said before when i started this crazy trip my children were ages 10 months 3 and 5 as a stay at home mom baking is a way for me to stay sane i go into the kitchen sometimes when the house is at its most insane and start to bake following a recipe is a way for me to relax and at the end i have something wonderful to share with my family this still holds true i continue to bake 3 or more times a week my boys have become total bakery snobs they do not hold back in any way from telling me what they think of what i have baked up liam our oldest grades on a a f scale and i have received quite a few f s along the way i considered myself an okay home baker when i started my way through bfmhty now i am very comfortable tweaking recipes and swapping out ingredients almost to a fault i have made some of the best online friends a girl could have through twd that is the very best thing that has come out of this 4 year journey for me the friendships i have made i have no doubt will last my lifetime thank you to jules for helping me out when life got so tough for me 2 years ago and for continuing to be a source of support and endless humor to the rest of my twd family thanks for sticking it out with me love you all dorie sweet sweet dorie thank you again for all of your support encouragement and enthusiasm i truly value your friendship and i will forever be grateful to you for writing this book that brought so many of us together it was a life changer not only for me but for a good many of us in twd dorie hosted this week you can check out the recipe on her blog check out the rest of the twd folks cookies from the twd blog for those joining us for the next round of twd we will begin to tackle baking with julia starting in february of 2012 if you have not bought your book yet go buy it now bake on date december 27 2011 author lw comments 38 comments tuesdays with dorie unbelievably good chocolate blueberry ice cream standard so jules called me way back in october we talked about how twd bfmhty was quickly wrapping up we needed to sort out the recipes left and who was going to make what i contacted dorie so she could pick one and i told jules just tell me what i am supposed to make again this was back in october i knew the date was coming up i needed to get on the horn with the ice cream right make the ice cream so i set out to make it last weekend alas i was missing the blueberry jam i could have subbed cherry or raspberry but i was making a great attempt at not messing with the recipe over the past 4 years i have become very comfortable with substituting ingredients i don t think twice before doing so but since this is the last time i would be hosting twd for this book i wanted to stick to the recipe 2 store trips later and still no jam what the hell laurie fast forward this past saturday i had a list for the store but had been procrastinating going to the store i am a professional procrastinator finally my good friend peabody said go buy ice cream stuff and i did the end okay not the end i think i should say a little something about twd now almost 4 years ago on this very little blog i asked if anyone would want to join me in baking once a week from baking from my home to yours by the lovely dorie greenspan at the time i thought nothing of it i figured i would get 2 3 people who read my blog to do it with me twd quickly grew and grew it was quite overwhelming then over the 4 years it took to complete this book we have dwindled down to a very hardcore group of members i want to thank each and every one of you for going on this journey i hope that you enjoyed it as much as i have i hope you will all consider joining the next phase with baking with julia which starts in february 2012 back to the ice cream we froze it we tried it i love homemade ice cream i just wish my ice cream maker would allow me to make more in a batch this one got mixed bag of reviews that is the norm in this household though i say give it a shot and see what you think you may just be a chocolate blueberry kind of person you never know until you try unbelievably good chocolate blueberry ice cream 5 ounces semisweet chocolate finely chopped 1 cup whole milk 1 2 cup heavy cream 3 large egg yolks 3 tablespoons sugar 5 tablespoons premium quality blueberry preserves put the chocolate in a 1 quart glass measuring cup or heatproof bow bring the milk and heavy cream to a boil in a medium heavy bottomed saucepan meanwhile in a medium bowl whisk the yolks and sugar together until very well blended and just slightly thickened still whisking drizzle in about one third of the hot liquid this will temper or warm the yolks so they don t curdle whisking all the while slowly pour in the remaining liquid pour the custard back into the pan and cook over medium heat stirring without stopping until the custard thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon if you run your finger down the back of the spoon the custard should not run into the track the custard should reach at least 170 degrees f but no more than 180 degrees f on an instant read thermometer immediately remove the pan from the heat and pour the custard over the chopped chocolate let the mixture sit for 1 minute then using a rubber spatula starting in the center of the measuring cup and working in ever wider concentric circles stir until the custard is smooth refrigerate the custard until the chilled before churning it into ice cream scrape the chilled custard into the bowl of an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer s instructions when the ice cream is thickened and just about ready spoon in the blueberry preserves and churn to blend pack the ice cream into a container and freeze for at least 2 hours until it is firm enough to scoop serving if the ice cream is very firm allow it to sit on the counter for a few minutes before scooping or warm it in the microwave using 5 second spurts of heat serve the ice cream on its own or over the equally luscious double crusted blueberry pie storing packed tightly in a covered container the ice cream will keep in the freezer for about 2 weeks go check out the
