This baker has been playing up in the kitchen in the mountains. It has been an experience because everything I know about cooking, I have learned from Google and the Food Network resulting in a lot of self-taught methods that work for my kitchenito at my casita but are not quite as functional nor efficient for feeding the masses. Also, my measurements of cups and teaspoons have been replaced by ounces, pounds, and gallons. Daunting would be the perfect word to describe the task. Successes? Pizza dough. Reasons: It was delish. It is also most excellent way to have awesomely toned arms. I think this summer is gonna get me some guns. Failures? I threw away a cake batch, TWICE! The perfectionist in me died a little bit inside. (I am grateful p.s. for math skills or I would be drowning. The Justin Bieber simple math "me plus you" is just not adequate unless he starts singing in fractions like "you have half my hearrrrrrt" then we might be in business again). We had ice cream that night for dinner instead. Making super sized recipes is an adventure to say the least. Today is take two of me vs. cake. Banana cake. I will make it look adorable and my inner-baker will be once again at peace with the world. *sigh* So let the adventures begin!
Baking is about to begin so more blogging and photo documentation to follow but until then:
Peace, Love and Bake!
I wish I could be there to be tasting your delish food...Loved that pizza!
ReplyDeleteI have had some experience in cooking for the masses in the past at camps in Ohio and in Colorado. I agree. It is a challenge. Somehow a recipe for 2 just doesn't multiply out quite the same. But it is rewarding just the same. Enjoy your summer! And remember, everything tastes better when you are hungry.:)
