cook and bake more often

I made my favourite oatmeal cookies again. They seemed especially comforting today, perhaps because it was cold and rainy outside.

Nothing like lazily eating warm cookies and reading a good book :)

Inspired by Colleen’s post I tried to make my quinces the same way.

The photos show how it went. Not too bad !

I’m glad I tried that, it’s unlike any other thing. I’m not sure I’m gonna have it again like that though, something seemed to be… off. I suspect I’ll continue enjoying quinces as marmalade more.

I tried a recipe for Gingerbread loaf cake. Came out looking great !

But didn’t taste right :( Somewhat bitter and the texture is off. Oh well.

for lunch I made rosemary potatoes again. Always so nice.

And later today, since I had two over-ripe bananas, I made some banana milkshake, with just some skim milk and a little vanilla added. Very yummy !

I adjusted it a bit to cut a few calories and also because I couldn’t get the exact same things here. Somewhere in there I must have done something wrong, because it didn’t rise right.

Oh well, even flat it tastes yummy :)

as I made rosemary potatoes for lunch and oatmeal cookies for dinner ! Both very yummy :)

MMMmmm :)

The first time I tried my hand at these. And while they probably would have been even better if I left them in the pan longer, I was so hungry ! Still, very good stuff !

I baked a banana bread again today. Yummy, yummy :)

but I was able to go to a local weekly market and picked up bread, cheese and cherries and had a very nice meal with these things :)

I tried this for the second time today. And since I only had feta cheese at hand, that’s what I used.

Well… it was terribly messy, but it tasted very yummy !
