Cinnamon Raisin Bread

Cinnamon Bread

This was a very agreeable bread to make: very forgiving to work with and it only took one day of prep time. I was lazy and opted not to construct the cinnamon swirl, an oversight that will never happen again.

Mission of Burma

Peter Prescott was here

Yesterday was so beautiful and perfect out. It was one of those days where everything was infused with the spirit of greatness and everything I listened to put me in a fantastic mood. However, it made me very aware that I’m long overdue to buy the Mission of Burma reunion doc.

Pane Siciliano

After a few days prep time, some pane Siciliano came out of the oven not as delicious as it looked. It was a fine accompaniment to salad, but there were certain steps that I could have done better (not going to sleep without shaping the dough, for instance). It’s almost too dense, but it will make a fine toast.

To celebrate, we went to Spats and had drinks that sat on a bed of dry ice.

And drinks that were more like a bowl of frozen fruit.
