Grading My Baking/Cooking From Yesterday

Beer Quick Bread [source: unknown] = A

English Muffins [source: “Small Batch Bakes” by Edd Kimber] = B (the recipe works, though it took much longer for my dough to rise due to cold kitchen conditions, and, I rolled my dough too thin.)

Skillet Cornbread Pudding with Ham & Pepper Jack [source: “Making It Easy” by Food Networks Kitchens] = B+ (very tasty but probably better as a side dish, and it stuck mightily to the pan in which it was baked; plenty leftover for at least four more portions.)

I have spent my adulthood acquiring recipes, and last week I purchased my final cookbook. If I come across an interesting cookbook for free I will consider claiming it.

When possible I will be making my Monday dinner, and hopefully one other night’s dinner, from a recipe found in a physical cookbook in my possession. Even if I were to cook recipes three times per week from my cookbooks on hand I will die before I have the opportunity to make more than 10% of the recipes at my fingertips.

Tonight’s recipe is “Skillet Cornbread Pudding with Ham & Pepper Jack” from the book “Food Networks Kitchens Making It Easy”.

I thought that my chocolate peppermint crinkle cookies were really good. The judges at the Trees Atlanta volunteer lunch and cookie contest had other opinions however, as I didn’t even crack the top ten out of the twenty-seven cookies entered.
