      I guessed correctly.

        Good luck with your bread! I don't poke mine at all. But I am not doing the same focaccio recipe as the Blitz Bread so it will react differently. I pat or roll the bread out, then let rise and bake. Sometimes I sprinkle fresh rosemary on top.

          I've made this cake before and it turns out well. I don't know why the egg doesn't cook but since it is already mixed in there is no worry about pieces of cooked egg seperating out. The only problem I had was when the oven temperature was too high, this was before I bought an oven thermometer.

            I did blueberry gingerbread in my slow cooker yesterday. It turns out moister than baked in an oven but still good. There is a carmel overture to the bread as if the long cooking made the taste deeper. The blueberries have a more cooked and liquid texture than occurs when baked in an oven.

              Its horribly hot today. I baked pizza with fresh tomatoes yesterday evening after a storm had knocked the worse of the heat off.
              I don't know if I can cook anything today but I would really like an apple crisp. I'm trying to imagine cooking this in a crock pot, but the top would probably come out soggy. Am I wrong? Could I cook apple crisp in a slow cooker?

                Chocomouse;

                I am running the air conditioning anyway and just hoping the electric bill won't be too outrageous. I am also spending time in my basement which is cooler.

                  There are some really lovely things on that site. I wish I could afford the Ankasrum mixer or some of the pressure canners. I don't have a USE for them, but they look so well made.

                    The selections should have reference centigrade or fahrenheit units. I was correct but mainly by accident.

                      Chocomouse, that sounds like a great party. I am so glad that the weather cooperated with you and all the grand children could come.

                      I did blueberry scones again but it was so hot I baked in the slow cooker this time. I cooked it on high for 2 hours. It was only 160 degrees but a knife inserted it it came out cleanly. Its more moist than the recipe baked in a cast iron frying pan, and has a thinner crust.

                      I'm still working on my attic, which seems to have been going on forever. I wished I had tried to find someone who would be willing to do the air sealing and attic baffles for me. First I didn't think it would take this long, and second DIY means that you only have to deal with one person's dumb ideas.

                        I did a whole wheat rosemary focaccio on Friday night. This is one of my standard recipes but I ended up giving most of it away. I was thinking tomato sandwiches when I made it but decided that a store bought loaf would do better.

                          I have a friend with Hungarian ancestry who talks about these things.

                                I did blueberry scones again yesterday. I thought I might have overbaked it but it came out fine. My "scones" are a whole wheat muffin recipe baked in a cast iron frying pan. I tell everyone they are scones and hit dissenters on the head with the frying pan. This allows me to use whole wheat and oil in my scones. After cheating this way for years, I figured out a way to do whole wheat scones which were more scone like, but this is faster and easier.

                                  I missed this.
