Sinfonian's Garden Adventure: June 2011
http://sinfonians-garden.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
My journey towards greater sustainability, food independence and greater closeness with my family. Saturday, June 25, 2011. June 25, 2011. So, you can imagine our thrill to see berries ripening all over my berry bed. As you can tell the boys had a blast! I think he looks happier than his brother, don't you? And to think we've got close to 100 berries left on the plants in various stages of growth! That, and the plants continue to send out runners that I train to go where I want. MUAHAHAHAHAHA! Taking my ...

Sinfonian's Garden Adventure: Amazing weather, amazing progress!
http://sinfonians-garden.blogspot.com/2014/03/amazing-weather-amazing-progress.html
My journey towards greater sustainability, food independence and greater closeness with my family. Friday, March 21, 2014. Amazing weather, amazing progress! Well, all it took was for me to post how bad our weather was on the first day of spring and presto! Actually it was just the light colored dirt at the bottom that I got done earlier. The rest I did in less than a minute with the stirrup hoe. In case you're wondering what the heck one is, I took a quick snapshot of this miraculous device. Oops, you c...

http://b-sideswhilebaking.blogspot.com/2015/04/into-every-life-little-booboos-will.html
Saturday, April 11, 2015. Into every life little booboo's will occur. So, in going through out cake pans, I couldn't find a 9" round pie pan, and to be honest I didn't want to use the springform pan, and cut it in half like the recipe said. So I grabbed two 10" pans, and made a double batch.needless to say, it really didn't work out like I planned. Oh don't get me wrong, it's tasty, just not what I thought it would look like. Well here are the photos. Here is what the cake was supposed to look like.

http://b-sideswhilebaking.blogspot.com/2015/04/lemon-layer-cake-and-verdict-is.html
Tuesday, April 14, 2015. Lemon Layer Cake; and the verdict is. A test kitchen is just that. A place to test recipes until they are just right. This blog, and my kitchen are not test kitchens. I have to get that through my own head, own it. Not all the cakes in this book are going to work out, not at least as they are presented. On this Lemon Layer cake Pg 58 in the book Up Close on Cakes really doesn't work as portrayed. Wet ingredients in baking are:. While the recipe may have other applications in diff...

http://b-sideswhilebaking.blogspot.com/2015/04/no-cake-this-week.html
Monday, April 6, 2015. No Cake this week. For all of you looking forward to a new cake being drawn this week, I hate to disappoint. This week there will be no new cake drawn. What with Easter Sunday occurring yesterday, and the household becoming inundated with Chocolate, pies, and various assorted goodies (such as a rare showing of Pierogi) I can not in good conscience bake a cake. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). They think Ive lost my Marbles. Lemon Layer Cake; and the verdict is. No Cake this week.

B-sides while baking: They think I've lost my Marbles....
http://b-sideswhilebaking.blogspot.com/2015/04/they-think-ive-lost-my-marbles.html
Sunday, April 19, 2015. They think I've lost my Marbles. Well, it's been a bit of time since I last had a successful cake. The last one was a flop really. It didn't get finished. But, as they say, when you fall off the horse, you get back on. So, we drew another prospective cake tonight.and it's Marble Cake on page 138 from the book Close Up on Cakes. The first thing I did was read through the recipe, and make sure I had the correct pan to use; and I do. And my snarky comments will be in regular face type.

B-sides while baking: Cake # 2 - Coconut Cake
http://b-sideswhilebaking.blogspot.com/2015/04/cake-2-coconut-cake.html
Wednesday, April 1, 2015. Cake # 2 - Coconut Cake. So yesterday was baking day. And what a day it was! Not only was I busy most of the day, and had to find some time to fit in the baking.the weather was wild! Sunny, then grey, light rain, then hail, Sunshine visited again, followed by Thunderstorms and lightning, and then a soft pitter patter of rain. A mixed bag so to speak. Thankfully, the baking of this cake was not a mixed bag. It was pretty simple. Nothing fancy, just the cake ingredients. So, I cre...
