Fear not, nothing major.
Sometimes I find it really hard to think of titles for posts, it's a bit like the subject line of an email to a friend. You want it to mean something, yet at the same time not be too over the top. And that lack of inspiration could almost put a girl off posting.
Today I am making my first loaf of bread in the Aga. It has already been a bit of a morning of firsts as I have made my first ever cookies! They are called 'amdolo cookies' and I found the recipe in Lucy Young's "Secrets of Aga Cakes". I think that I might need to cook them for a little less time when I next make them, but then the beastly Aga wasn't quite up to full steam this morning, it's just too pigging hot to have it cranked right up (and the plan to to turn it off all together but the gas hob on the module bit doesn't currently work, yet another chapter in my very own 'Aga saga') so I think I did quite well to cook them at all.
Currently my dough is in it's first phase of resting. I am being very anal and timing each rest period perfectly. This is not pleasing the dawgs as my leaping up periodically to full the instructions is seriously affecting their afternoon nap in front of the Aga. Oh well.
p.s. loaf snap to follow......
Kate, I have this title dilemma every time I post! Sometimes I think I'll just post it without, but it somehow seems incomplete that way!
