this little project of mine

I'm feeling slightly guilty because the husband is in the basement doing a horribly dirty task that I can't help on so I figured that my time would be best spent on a task that I haven't been terribly excited about either - updating! It's not that I don't enjoy you, dear blog, it just seems to take so much time to write posts and upload photos when I could be.. you know..napping. But! I have an exciting new project.

Since I'm not baking professionally anymore, I had this crazy idea that in order to keep my skills up to par that it could be fun to bake an entire cookbook, front to back. Fun! I shared this idea with my family for a possible christmas gift idea and ..well.. I got 3 cookbooks. I received both Baked books and Flour. As I carefully looked through each recipe I was more inspired and excited about Flour but it is a lot more technical and requires some hard to find ingredients so I decided that for my first cover to cover experience to go the simpler route, Baked. To you know, get my feet wet and to get an idea of what I've committed myself to.

I've also committed to being better about taking decent photos since I've gotten lazy lately with only taking phone photos. And so, this tiny blog of mine will be chronicling my crazy adventure through Baked. I'm already apologizing to my coworkers for ruining their New Years resolutions so quickly.
