Looks delicious. We’re you working out a bit of aggression?

Bread baking is quite therapeutic!

It is either that or my nice comforting jacket

Ron, GREAT. Nice to see a long loaf. I am NOT fond of the round
loaves. Why? I do not know. Just me I guess. NEAT. Recipe?

It is this one: https://www.backyardchickens.com/posts/17145091

I shaped it into two loaves instead of round because I like them like that too!

I do make round ones when I make the softer bread though.

The long loaves make better garlic bread and it is easier to slice for french toast.

I was gifted a lousy cold the day before Thanksgiving, so we had to call in sick. We were planning on going to my nephew's house, he and GF had a baby we haven't met yet so we didn't dare go.
Turns out DS got the cold at the same time so they couldn't go either, so I bundled up in my granny sweater and headed out to Safeway at 9 pm to buy a turkey. I sniffled my through the dinner which I'm indifferent to but oh the leftovers! Turkey sandwiches and turkey rice soup for brekkie the last 2 days, tonight it's chunked turkey in gravy over toast. I put stuff in the bread machine for this toast, I guess it counts as baking...????

I started a sourdough culture a couple days ago, I'm so inspired by this thread!

That totally counts!

Hope you're over the cold now.

I'm making 12 pans of these brownies today. I will mix them up and put them in the refrigerator to be baked tomorrow. I want them to be fresh for a Wednesday luncheon. They will be gifted to the other 11 ladies in my monthly lunch group, and the 12th for DH's class.

I need your expert opinions on this. Can I mix up the frosting today and put that in the refrigerator also until tomorrow, or should I wait and mix it up tomorrow? I'd like all the mixing to be done today so I'm just assembling tomorrow, but I don't want to end up with a glob of unspreadable frosting. (I know I'll have to melt the choco drizzle tomorrow.)

ETA: If you make this recipe, remember it is 4 x the original recipe, so 4 9x9x2 pans, and they need to be greased.

Frosting does not spread well when cold. I have tried that before and it was not fun
