You Win Some, You Lose Some

::::yawning::::  Good morning, humans, on a day when all is right in the world - we have football back!  Now I realize this is almost meaningless for Buffalo Bills fans, but for the rest of us, this is big news!  How did I celebrate, you ask?  I chomped on my favorite football toy!

We had an exciting day in the kitchen yesterday.  Mommy and I experimented with chocolate curry bread (see photo below), which sounds vile but was nothing short of delicious, though I grant you it needs a better name.  Even curry haters like Daddy liked it.  We also made carrot bread with walnuts, raisins and cumin seed (see photo below) which Mommy won't eat because she feels about raisins the way Daddy feels about curry, although Daddy is mature enough to at least try it  :-)  Sadly, our attempt at Pad Thai Bangkok Bread with peanuts, lemon grass, ginger and coconut was... well, it was like the Bills taking on a real NFL team.  It was pathetic.  You win some, you lose some.

We've already been at it in the kitchen this morning.  We whipped up some blackstrap pralines, which means we mixed pecan halves with melted butter, brown sugar, molasses, cinnamon and a dash of salt, then baked them for about 15 minutes.  The plan is to chop them up and add them to the classic rustic loaf to create a Southern Praline Bread.  Or I might just eat them  :-)

Everyone here is wishing Uncle Kenny in Baltimore good luck this morning.  We're thinking of you and sending you our love.  Please let me know if you'd like me to bake something for you.  Daddy just loves when Mommy FedExes packages!

Gotta dash - it's morning walk time.
love and licks to all,
Bellalicious

  1. Even the Pad Thai Bangkok has more promise than the Bills!
