I don't mind raisins, but I'd probably add chopped dates and/or dried apricots, because I almost always have some around for snacking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6881724.post-1168878940333654002007-01-15T11:35:00.000-05:002007-01-15T11:35:00.000-05:00The bigger problem, at my advanced age, is seeing ...The bigger problem, at my advanced age, is seeing the damned thing. Or I suspect it would be, if I were going to use Congress cloth. I'm tempted--I've only done one piece on scrim that small--but I'll probably go with 18 stitches/inch, which, trust me, is plenty small.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6881724.post-1168870573825361402007-01-15T09:16:00.000-05:002007-01-15T09:16:00.000-05:00Last weekend, I made my own muffin recipe by combi...Last weekend, I made my own muffin recipe by combining the better parts of two recipes and then adding 4 kinds of nuts and seeds and calling the creation "bird seed muffins".

Speaking of which, I learned all kinds of things about needlepoint scrim yesterday (for example: if it's 22 stitches to the inch (yes, that's tiny) it's called Congress cloth rather than canvas or mesh). You can find all kinds of things on teh intertubes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6881724.post-1168864246805040792007-01-15T07:30:00.000-05:002007-01-15T07:30:00.000-05:00See, he's inexperienced at recognizing cult member...See, he's inexperienced at recognizing cult members. I knew by the first SENTENCE, where you just nonchalantly mentioned your bread's second rise. And, really, second clue? That you thought about chocolate chip cookies, so you just went and made some. You could have not mentioned crumb at all and I would have known we have you in our clutches. When you start tinkering with recipes--before you've even made them once--then we'll know you're truly One of Us. Though it sounds like the King Arthur recipes don't need much tinkering. (ALL recipes get tweaked, if only because of the limitations imposed by what's in the cabinets or refrigerator at the moment.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
