The last few weeks as I have been leaving my local Loblaws I have seen ads all over talking about Click & Collect. I don't know what this is, but in my usual apathetic fashion I ignore it and move on with my life. The last time I went grocery shopping I see a video while I'm waiting in line - my interest is piqued. "Can it really be that easy?" I ask myself with a moderate amount of glee. I love these sorts of "innovations" - shopping online is great - it's easy, comfortable, gives me time to think, and, best of all, I don't have to deal with random people (no offense random people, I'm sure you're very nice!). The website is set up a bit like Netflix with horizontal scrolling food options. Each "aisle" has its own page with categories within the aisle shown. Only a subset of each category is shown and you can delve deeper to see all the possibilities. You can also search for specific items instead of clicking th
This last weekend I decided that I should do some baking and expand my kitchen horizons. I thought a great idea would be to bake some banana bread, however due to an unexpected freezer issue, the bananas that had been patiently waiting for someone's tender loving touch thawed and turned into a giant mess.
So, I decided that maybe I should start my baking career with something a little easier - non-banana bread! (although I have since been told that banana bread is probably easier to make).
I used this bread recipe because it looked the most simple and some of the other ones I was looking at required a mixer, which I don't have at this point.
Gather up all the ingredients (I am missing the salt in this picture):
Put all the dry stuff in a bowl.
Warm up the butter (margarine), water, and milk.
Mix it all together (vigorously if you're like me and don't have a mixer :( ). Then you let it rise! (the balsamic vinegar was sadly my rolling pin... )
Bake it for a bit, let it rest, slather in delicious butter and eat!

Cut this mound of delicious dough in half, flatten each half out, and then roll it all up into a loaf. Pinch the ends and put it into some greased loaf pans. Let that rise for a bit.

was the juice worth the squeeze?
ReplyDeleteYeah it was! It's quite delicious and super easy to make. Next time I make it though, I'm going to use whole wheat flour I think.
