Sunday Brunch at Bella's

It's a lazy Sunday morning but not for me.  I've been standing around the kitchen for hours, drooling over the goodies and waiting for a morsel to drop.  Is a crumb too much to ask for?

On deck today - a selection of breads and cookies, including rustic bread, wildflower honey nut loaf, banana bread and left over sticky buns which Daddy says look just like my tail!  We also have cocoa sable cookies and pistachio biscuits that look wonderful.  Sadly, I'm trying to maintain my girlish figure after a gardener called me la gordita yesterday, so I'll pass on the sweets.  The nerve!

The rustic bread was super easy to make.  Mommy and I mixed together flour, yeast, salt and water last night, then covered the bowl overnight and baked it this morning.  I heard a rumor that we're making fresh carrot bread with raisins and walnuts tomorrow.  This is particularly exciting for me because many of you who know my grandmother, a/k/a Mamma, know that I eat fresh steamed carrots every day with my lunch.  So the thought of carrot bread really gets the saliva glands going   :-)

Finally, for all my friends in the heat bubble that the man on the tele talks about, Uncle Fred sent me a picture of a distant cousin in Dallas (see below).  I've heard of iced coffee, but never iced bully! 

Licks and love to all,
Bellalicious
