Savin' it For Sunday

Oy, what a few weeks! I've had the flu for forever, although I'm feeling okay now, and Jim (who never gets sick) got a bug of some sort this week.

Me: Dada's got a bug
Murph: Oh bugger.

That's how it goes.

Otherwise, there's still no work for Jim and I'm whistling past the graveyard by baking, baking, baking.

Let's see if I can find some pics..

This is a Raspberry and Buttermilk Cake - the recipe came from Smitten Kitchen -here via Meet Me At Mike's - here

The recipe at Mike's used cherries, but I didn't have any, and I really dig the tartness of raspberries. The only little thing is, that I used frozen raspberries and for some reason they give off a bit of a grey 'aura' when they're baked. I'm not sure why this is, but it doesn't affect the taste.

You can see what I'm talkin' bout here:

Here is the Delia Smith bread I've been making. I have to admit, I get bored very easily, so I've been splurging on rolls, or a loaf of Farmer Bread from Brot - our local German bakery. It is a good easy to make loaf though, and since funds are low, and I invested in a 5 kilo bag of wholewheat flour, we'll be eating this one for awhile.

And that's all the procrastination I can afford right now, I've got study to do.
