Baking with Bec

Before 2008, I never wanted to own something I borrowed from the public library. But along came that Curious George soundtrack and, voila, I had the gimmees bad. Tomorrow is the return date for two more library items that I can’t wait to buy as well:

The Bread Lover’s Bread Machine Cookbook by Beth Hensperger
Baking: From My Home to Yours by Dorie Greenspan

There’s a group of folks out there that are baking their way through Greenspan’s cookbook. Sounds like fun, eh? There’s no way I could make that commitment right now, but I’d love to do it someday. One of the bakers blogs at Cafe Johnsonia and I find her posts really inspirational. In particular I enjoyed her guest post at Just An Orange; it reminded me of the creative joy of cooking.

Though I am a far cry from chef material (desserts are more my thing at any rate), I do post a recipe every so often at Needs More Butter, the recipe blog of my friends from Community Dinner.

   I just went to Cafe Johnsonia and the first words that popped off the screen at me were, “Trader Joe’s.” I think it must be a sign. :) Thanks for pointing out yet another awesome food blog.

   I love Dorie Greenspan. And the library for not making a fool out of me as I have seen a cookbook, perused some of it, and then ended up using it very little. You should check out Smitten Kitchen, which is my favorite cooking blog.

   Wow, I like the Cafe Johnsonia site - bookmarked!

   I have been wanting a Dorie Greenspan cookbook…I will have to hit the library.
