Nadir

Posted on February 29, 2020 by Annie Modesitt

Today’s experiment is a roast beef sandwich that Andy’s bringing.  I’m hoping the smell is not too strong, and that I can get a good bit of the sandwich down!

A Return To Baking

Posted on May 30, 2019May 30, 2019 by Annie Modesitt

Today I’m going to make some cookies.  I’ve entered myself into the Minnesota State Fair under the Decorated Cookie category (this year’s theme: Minnesota Flowers) and I’m raring to go!  

I’m planning on making up a bunch of royal icing using meringue powder (so it will keep, in an airtight container, for up to a month) and I will practice a few different types of flowers and decorating techniques in the two months before I have to turn in my cookies.

Japanese Milk Bread

Posted on August 26, 2018August 26, 2018 by Annie Modesitt

I think this morning I’m going to make a kind of cinnamon roll using a nice mix of Cinnamon, Cardamom, Nutmeg and a bit of Vanilla. That sounds like it would be great with a cup of coffee (I seldom drink coffee, but this morning I might!) 

When the bread’s had a second rise I’ll roll a Cinnamon-Spice mixture into the dough, then do some creative cutting and splitting and try to make something pretty.  Once it’s baked up, I may add a bit of icing and there’s Sunday morning, done and dusted!

A Happy Resolution!

Posted on August 2, 2018August 15, 2018 by Annie Modesitt

About a week into this nonsense we asked for the help of our State Attorney General, Lori Swanson. I hadn’t realized that one of the duties of the SAG is to protect consumers in their state, and BOY did Erin, from Lori’s office, work to protect us!

Patiently, slowly, her staff kept after SEARS. She took the case seriously, giving it the amount of time it needed, but also letting it roll on it’s own. I was impressed with their restraint and strength.

MORE YARN!

Posted on December 27, 2013 by Annie

I’m hopeful that all of you had a MAGNIFICENT holiday, and will continue on through next week (and BEYOND!) to celebrate the light and warmth that we can create in our own lives when it’s so dark outside!

The Day Before The Big Day

Posted on November 27, 2013 by Annie

I love the Wednesday-before-Thanksgiving SO much! It’s a day of hopes, of dreams, of non-crazed prep and happy anticipation! The delicious thing about Thanksgiving is that we can choose to prepare as much, or as little, as we want! We can purchase a pre-made dinner, go out for a lovely meal, visit friends (take a dish!)…

Cake for my Birthday!

Posted on September 3, 2013 by Annie

My mind’s been on cardamom — heaven knows why — and so I rode my bike down to Penzey’s (near my home, how lucky can a girl get?) and bought some green pods to open, crush, and make into a cake.

Traveling & Caring

Posted on July 3, 2013 by Annie

Today we pack up to head up to a friend’s lake house for the weekend. Lucky, lucky us! We’re SO looking forward to it, and it gives Gerry, Max and myself a chance to enjoy some MN ‘wilderness’ while Hannah’s up at Camp Menogyn doing her wild-girl thing! The thing about traveling these days is…

My Morning Ritual

Posted on February 29, 2012February 29, 2012 by Annie

If I have oatmeal and a cup of tea, my whole DAY is good. The days I miss my oatmeal are never as good as they could be.

Be a NUN - or just look like one! In all honesty, the pattern is NOT well reviewed (there's only one 2-star review...) but it's always been one of my favorites.
