Kitty Bread Heads

Gonna gloat here and say...I haven't bought a loaf of bread in months! This is big because I eat a sandwich for lunch five days a week, no fail. I've been making my own bread in a bread machine -- a monstrously large unitasker that I don't recommend anyone purchasing, but I just so happen to have one, so am using it.

Lately, though, I've gotten so used to the recipe I use that I haven't been measuring all of the ingredients precisely, and think my fervent squeezing of the agave nectar bottle straight into the pan instead of measuring into tablespoons has gotten the yeast super excited so that the dough rises too high and then falls during baking. That's my theory, anyway.

When sliced, these sunken-center loaves yield...kitty heads!

This slice came from a particularly kitten-like loaf, and, I swear, I almost didn't go to work because the uncontrollable desire to make a slew of kitty faces on the slices of bread overcame me as I was making my real sandwich. I had no time for such shenanigans, but ran home immediately after a long day of work and kitty bread heads on the brain, and made this fine specimen of cartoon food*.

That's all! Nothing serious here.

*Making cartoons with food rarely afflicts me, but for more silliness check my seitan cartoon. Sadly, no one got that reference.

My Kitty's a Superstar

Well, not really.

I try not to gush about my kitty on this blog, since the content is food focused. But if there's anything I love more than cake and cookies, it's my kitty. I swear to you she is the best kitty ever! And that's not just crazy cat lady talk.

It was a pleasant surprise yesterday to see my recipe for Earl Grey tea ice cream featured on The Kitchn, a food site I check religiously, but I was even more thrilled that they chose the picture with my kitty lurking in the background!!! I'm so proud of my baby girl, fifteen minutes of fame and all.

Say hello to superstar Lulu! Best kitty ever. She'll be signing autographs with regurgitated grasshopper guts upon request.The camera adds two pounds.
