Quite a few things turned out nicely this weekend. Here they are:<\/p>\n
First, sourdough ginger cookies, from this Food & Wine recipe<\/a>, baked on Friday and bagged up to distribute at Grillin’ for Peace<\/a>, the Savory Sunday benefit. They have no white flour; instead, they’re composed of spelt, rye, and buckwheat. I also made some regular chocolate chip, and thought they’d go first but the ginger cookies did. I called them molasses cookies and they’re bigger so maybe that was it. On Saturday morning, I had to drive the AFS kids to an event for them in the Dells, then went to Wingra Park with my box of cookies.<\/p>\n Cinnamon scones, also baked Friday and glazed with the last of the tub of leftover icing I always have at the back of the fridge after cookie season. I melted it and added cinnamon. My regular recipe<\/a> but maybe a bit more cream cheese than usual.<\/p>\n Next, cimmy buns, from Sunday brunch. My definitive buttermilk cimmy buns recipe<\/a> with a few tweaks inspired by and the date filling from this Bon Appetit recipe<\/a>. Pictured on the cover of the April 2020 issue<\/a>, the buns were what I made the first time we had people over in pandemic. Susan and (now the late) Carl, and Mark, and I sat in the driveway, socially distanced, and ate cimmy buns and drank orange juice and coffee and put our masks on to go inside to the bathroom, on a sunny morning in May. I promise to update my recipe and move it over to New & Improved<\/a>. And, here it is!<\/a> <\/p>\n Then, sourdough bread rising. The finished loaf is the overleaf (featured image).<\/p>\n Finally, chocolate pumpkin loaf cake, another treat from Snacking Cakes<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
