Pin It
I bought a new cookbook a couple of weeks ago, on a whim. My sister has it, and she showed it to me when I was last in SF, and I was taken by a photo of an adorably pink layer cake that I haven't been able to get out of my head since. So I bought the cookbook,
The Sweeter Side of Amy's Bread. And it came. And I put it on the coffee table, and then I sat down on the sofa and flipped through it. And I sighed and bookmarked and planned and plotted. And then I put it down again, and didn't pick it up for two weeks.
The thing is, I've got this new job. And I love this job, and more importantly I love my office-mates. But... well, I don't have a lot of time for baking anymore. I know, I know. The grass is always greener. In fairness, I
have been baking (well I didn't want them to regret hiring me!), but I've been falling back on old favorites like
banana bread and
pumpkin pie bread. I haven't really had the time to do the kind of baking that Amy requires: weighing, measuring, sifting, using 6 bowls– this lady's not fooling around. Her recipes aren't difficult, exactly, but they are certainly
exacting.
