Addicted.

I can tell you it didn’t take me long to whip up a batch of agave bread rolls* to try Amy’s wonderfully fragrant homemade strawberry jam.

don’t even get me started on the cookies: chewy and mighty tasty, ♥!
I wanted to take an out-of-package picture of them, but then I got too impatient and had to gobble them up.

sidenote: is WordPress being capricious with everyone else or does it hold a grudge against me in particular? I can’t preview posts anymore, and can’t respond to comments directly when logged in. not a big deal either way.

the fires are still going on. considering we live in a valley, we’re catching all the nasty air quality (or lack thereof) to the point it’s advised to stay indoors as much as possible. all the more reason to bake! which I’ve been doing solely relying on the countertop oven, might I add, as both my wallet and I refuse to turn on anything bigger than that. it almost sounds dirty when I put it that way…

*made with this recipe, but with 2 cups whole wheat & 1 1/4 cup bread flour, no bran, shaped into 6 rolls and baked in a greased 8×8 pan at 375F for 25 minutes. watch out for your rolls since they’re made with agave: they could brown up a bit faster, so cover them with foil when checking them out after about 20 minutes for an instant-read thermometer test.

  4. Hmm, I’m logged in when I visit my own and other WordPress blogs, but to comment on yours I have to fill in my name and email. This is strange! I didn’t notice anything strange about WordPress until you mentioned it in your post, but yeah, I wonder what it is!
    Everything in the pictures looks delicious, by the way.

  5. thanks, Bonnie! I wonder if it’s related to the fact I recently switched to a newer version of firefox, or if it’s just WP having the hiccups. bah.
