Tuesday 03/05/11 Jumping into the kitchen

I last left off jumping into the kitchen....i didn't just jump into the kitchen, i jumped up and down IN the kitchen.  Once i pulled out my "Gingerbread  page 48" and "Banana Cake, page 44 " out of the oven.

No real dramas to report with the Banana Cake, i have made this recipe many times and enjoyed making it again. Moist, light and full of banana chunks YUM! I'm going to ice the remaining half with a passionfruit icing, that's right only half of the cake remains from my baking adventure on Sunday.

Gingerbread was amazing! I actually set out to make Hokey Pokey Biscuits, but I wasnt paying attention and once I had the butter, sugar and golden syrup  in the bowl I kicked straight into creaming it....WHOOPS.  SO I stopped smartly and flicked through the book until I had found another recipe that had the same ingredients and the steps I had already done, thus coming up with Gingerbread, the only thing I was missing was crystallised ginger.  I replaced this with fresh finely chopped ginger, I'm not sure how much of a difference it made, but my result was awesome!

The only concern with my growing biscuit barrels is my growing ass...so, before doing anymore baking, cooking, or eating, I joined the gym, and today, I killed myself in a box squad class....if I'm hurting now, I hate to think how my body is going to feel in the morning.

I'm having a break from 'edmonds cooking school' tonight and hubby is going to cook up a storm and show me how its done.

Tomorrow is a new day and I'm not sure what page its going to fall on....
