I'm thinking of becoming a Food Blogger

Why Not?

I like to bake and cook.

I like to photograph what I make.

I like to write and share my successes

(let's not mention the failures).

The only problem with the plan 

is I also like to eat what I make.

I can't really write about the merits

of a recipe unless I sample them

now can I???

Of course I can also write and photograph

the growing of the food,

except we don't grow baking.

Alas, another problem with

the plan.

Until then I just need

to practice my craft and see 

where it lead me.

Today, meyer lemon canberry loaf.

It need more meyer lemon.

Now I know for next time.

Long Weekend Baking

Boozy Banana Pound Cake

May 2-4 weekend if upon us.  Even though it is not actually May 24th, 

and the weekend is not technically referred to as "May 2-4" (it's Victoria Day weekend to celebrate the birthday of Queen Elizabeth II - I know it is confusing but it is the first long weekend of summer - just go with it), I like to think of it as the first "perfect food" weekend of summer.

I will also admit that bananas, bourbon, and chocolate chips are 

really traditional Canadian foods, 

BUT, this is the first "PERFECT FOOD" weekend so I won't get too fussy.

Once AGAIN crepesofwrath.net comes through with this delightful gem.

The booze, bananas and chocolate are drizzled with a caramel sauce whilst still warm.

That can't be a bad thing.

I happen to have Meyer Lemons

Meyer Lemon Mini Muffins

As luck would have it (I really could have tied that into

yesterday's luck of the Irish), I actually purchased

Meyer Lemons this morning thinking that

a tart a citron may be in order.

But, upon a wee peek at my new favourite cooking blog

Crepesofwrath.net

I found these delectable delights

I now have plans for at least a portion of my day.
