Today I made a carrot cake. I baked it in a 9 x 12" pan, and will freeze half for later. Carrot cake is one of my favorites, but I rarely make it, so it will be a real treat.
I'm just back from a week in Maine and haven't looked at the KABC site for a while. But I will also be very disappointed if other bakers' comment are no longer visible. Why not post them? Like BakerAunt, I want to see issues others might have had (I realize most of the problems are "baker error", not the fault of KABC recipe developers!) and also suggestions for variations of the original recipe.
Today I made raspberry muffins. We freeze most of our raspberries individually on a tray, and when frozen put them into plastic containers. I have to work quickly but gently to stir them into the batter, but they mostly stay in one piece instead of making a crumbly mess.
Joan, I'm so sorry to hear that you have lost your sister. I enjoyed hearing about your visits with her, and you showed her so much love through your baking for her. I'm sure you will remember all the good times you had together.
We're still on our spring menu: asparagus, asparagus, asparagus! Your menu sounds really good, Mike! And you gave me an idea, thanks. We'll have BLTs Wednesday night!!
I made a pasta salad with small shells, imitation seafood, lightly cooked spinach, asparagus, and green onion tops. I also made a dressing of Ranch, mayo, celery seed, and dill.
We had a thick bean soup, made with a ham bone and a package of "thirteen beans". I will freeze the rest, for last-minute meals on stormy evenings this summer.
