Our darling German Shepherd has decided that chasing the ginnie hens is fun - he is not trying to catch them, just likes to make them fly up and sound off. He ran one over yesterday, rolled it twice ... then looked back at it as if to say "Hey dummy, your supposed to fly away!"

Our german Shepherd does that too... surprises her when they squat.

Here's a photo of the brotform and the bread I made yesterday. The bread recipe is one I got on this thread, called Gump Bread:

I like how the form makes those rings on the loaf and it seemed like the bread dough rose better due to having the bowl coils to kind of 'grab' onto. I'll be using the brotform for a lot of different recipes, I really like it!

Beautiful!

Here's the rum cake I baked yesterday:

It's supposed to sit overnight before serving to let the syrup really soak in but we got into it about 7 hours after baking. It was pretty "rummy" last night but has mellowed out today. Very moist and flavorful (and perfect with a cup of coffee).

This is the King Arthur recipe I used:caribbean-rum-cake-recipe

Yum!!

Started at about 4:00 this morning, making the apple dessert that I failed to make yesterday. I just ran out of juice last night, and decided I'd rather take a nap on the couch and make the dessert in the morning. It's done now. I'm resting a little while before starting the yeast rolls and prepping other sides. It's going to be tricky cooking around the Vikings game, but I'll work it out (Hubs will help).

This is the last thing I am scheduled to BAKE. It is the Artisan Bread
I mixed it last night. Recipe makes 4 one pound loaves...and you can keep the dough in refrigerator for 14 days and bake when you need.

Why did I wait until Thanksgiving to try this new recipe...go figure.
Just did. ha ha. Will let you know how the NEW recipe works.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone. Aria

Happy Thanksgiving all! Just about ready to head out to my nephews. I made all from homemade but the buns. I cheated and used frozen Rhodes Texas rolls as they are better then what I can make. First time making cheescake so not sure if that’s how it should look but it tastes good. Have a fabulous day.
