"Holiday" bake off!

[gottahaveahoove]

well, since no one has been in my home during the holidays, not a ton of baking was done. I just made a few banana nut breads, and some Italian pepper cookies. I brought some to my friend who works at Williams Sonoma. She loved them, as did the rest of the staff.
Now. some friends want to come here and bake things.
So, out will come: a Kitchenaid stand mixer, an old Dormeyer stand mixer, (found a 2nd one in the basement), and a Sunbeam Mixmaster Vista.
Next week, it will be like the family bakery was years ago.
It will smell wonderful, no doubt.
Working on getting my digital camera to work w/ the computer again.
Pics... coming soon.

The only 'baking' I do is frozen pizzas.

There are some very good frozen ones.

Scratch ones aren't that hard, either.
One of the people who wants to attack the kitchen is a Home Economics teacher. She's a nun at a local high school.
This should be interesting.

I've been planning to make some brownies during vacation. I should get out the Mixmaster and do so.

Get out that spatula!

We're promised a bad ice storm later today into tomorrow. It would be a great day to spend in the kitchen,, "Za la bor a tory!

Can't wait to see the pictures!!  I'm on a diet, but as they say I can look but not touch...

"Look but don't touch"

hm heard that before.
I made a batch, 5 doz pepper cookies the other day. I'll do that again very soon.
My friend, former "Sister Nancy, devours them. Sister Elizabeth wants to bake here in a very well-equipped kitchen. It'll be interesting to get a 'home economics teacher's' opinion on this kitchen.
Sounds like an old joke: A nun, ex nun, almost priest walk into a kitchen.........
Stay tuned.

Cookie dough is made.
I'll be making spaghetti sauce tomorrow... chicken parm Wed.
It's an appliance fest!
