I have decided to try blogging…
Inspired by reading a friend’s blog and the entertainment/inspiration obtained from it.
Motivated in part by the desire for a new hobby.
Finding more free time by a job that has recently become less busy and stressful.
Will “blogging” be a lasting hobby for me? Time will tell. There have been hobbies that I have started that sputtered out in their infancy…like candle making. I made one. It was a failure. I made no more.
Then those that spent more time devoted to, and enjoyed, but just haven’t followed through on continuing…like scrapbooking. I made one for our honeymoon. I love it. But it takes a lot of time and effort and I want it to be perfect. I have supplies to make more (think wedding, trips, adventures and more…). I need my big sister’s inspiration here.
But I do have some more lasting hobbies…like cooking. I do enjoy making new meals and taking pictures of them. But baking…not so good at that. That is my little sister’s calling.
So maybe future blogs will be could be about yummy meals I cook....or the pancakes I can’t ever seem to be bake.
Yaaahooo!!! Love it! Can't wait to read your "daily" post! ;)
ReplyDeleteKelly!!! Super excited about this. And if I see to may pictures if yummy food, I think you might find me camped out in your yard to steal your scraps.
ReplyDeleteAutocorrect fail. :/
ReplyDeleteYes! I want to see all the yummy food you make! And any crafting you might do too. Yea, you have joined the blog world.
ReplyDeleteAre pancakes considered baked? I'm being serious. My personal definition of baking is to put something into the oven. Cooking would be something done on the stovetop or in the open. I'd love to know if I've been using these terms wrong all along! And it wouldn't surprise me a bit if I have.
ReplyDelete(By the way, my phone is being stupid at the moment and you may or may not have random parentheses and/or letters in funny places up there in that last paragraph.)
But back to pancakes - I do love pancakes. I think the trouble comes in the time/temp of he griddle/pan. No one really gives specific direction there so it's a lot of trial and error. Is that where your problem arises too?
I agree that the "proper" definition of baking is putting something in the oven. But one could debate that a pancake is a type of cake, cakes are baked, but pancakes are meerly just "finished" in a pan on the stove top.
DeleteI only streched my definition of baking here to illustrate my inability to do so. I should try experimenting with griddle temperature. But I think one of my problems with baking is the need to be exact in measurements (esp. levening agents). I belive that is maybe where I have a problem with the (pan)cakes. :) Cooking is much more "a little bit of this and a little bit of that". That's the way I roll in the kitchen. Which, when you think about it, is atypical for a Type A engineer.
I have showing Holly and the girls the wonderful creative world that can be pancakes. I will have to share this world with you too. and yes, finding just the right temp for your stove is key. We shall have demonstrations in the future!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm very excited about your blog!
