September 29th, 2008Daring Bakers: Crackers (1 day late)
September 28th, 2008This is going to be a half-a** post because I realized too late that the due date for this month’s challenge is today, 27th, and not the end of the month, as I have thought.
The crackers, that’s what we are making, are right now in the oven. I used whole wheat flour and sprinkled them with salt, pepper and sesame seeds. Not sure if I’ll have time to take pictures until tomorrow though.
The dip, that I have invented (with Cindy’s help) to go with the crackers will be made tomorrow: no time, sorry. But it is going to combine chickpeas, butternut squash and roasted garlic: sounds good, right?
I hope I don’t get kicked out from the club and will definitely pay more attention next time.

September 23rd, 2008A few weeks ago, I was making fun of one of my coworkers for wanting to make dinner for his SO using canned, boxed and pre-marinated items. Well, tonight, I did just that for my own dinner…because I don’t really need to impress myself, right?
