I have many photo dumps to do, but here is today's. COOKING ADVENTURES!



Chocolate Chip Crunch Cookies. Left is done with the stoneware cookie sheet. Right done with the metal tray and a silpat. Can we tell which one I will be using in the future?


Now some Garam Masala Chocolate Gingerbread with Royal Icing! (Gluten Free
Cribbed icing bags:


I was studious:




(BTW Anya, these are yours)

And I tried out some new cookie cutters:


"What Darth Vader began to realise, was that when Boba Fett said, 'As you wish', what he really meant was 'I love you'."


TK-421, WHY AREN'T YOU AT YOUR POST?


Then I realised that I had a shitload more icing than cookies, and I started to get irritated:


So I iced the rejects:


I made a lot of things over the holidays:


But I forgot to make pictures of them. However, I am starting to write a cookbook in post-it notes. Thanks Gypsy. BUT! Before I forget!

I made breakfast in a muffin:

Yeah, some of the gf flours have a lot of tooth to them, e.g. rice flour. I AM USED TO THIS.

And sugar + spice will make up for the rice!

I'm srsly excited. Nobody has ever custom-baked gf for me before!

Also, I do believe that the Manderblue Bakehouse will soon be one of the Great Destinations of the Mid-Atlantic. Michelin stars and Bondage Bakefests! As seen in the Rough Guide!

Seriously, Blue should move here so we can go a gluten free/vegan thing. Half gf. half vegan. Some days when we're feeling really adventurous we'll make gf vegan desserts.

I used brown rice flour/sorghum flour/tapioca starch/potato starch. They made great black and whites, though! Next time I make some I shall send them!
