The Food Monologues

I've been in a baking frenzy the past few weeks. I have just bought two new cook books filled with cake and cookie recipes and have been manically making dozens of biscuits and cakes. I spent this weekend with Timmy, baking and cooking and subjecting our families to our culinary experiments. I made coffee and walnut muffins whilst Tim made ginger cake in the bread maker. Then he made milk bread and I made tea bread, with real tea. Tim's bread maker is very useful and there are loads of recipes I would like to try to make - like brioche and pannatone, that is, if Tim will let me use the machine. Well, perhaps its his last stand in the kitchen that I have taken over.
