Love and Cooking

hot cross buns.

I have the meshugginah notion that I will make hot cross buns for the parish Easter breakfast. It is meshugginah because I will spend most of Saturday at the church, not home in my kitchen, can guarantee that I will be exhausted when I get home, and need to be at the church around 5 am on Easter.

But I pulled several recipes from rec.food.cooking and am going through them. My first batch tasted ok, but taught me that 1) I didn't want to make them too small and 2) they don't look right if they aren't egg glazed before baking. That batch is going to end up as bread pudding.

The second batch (slightly different recipe) came out more to my liking. I will see how they taste tomorrow morning.

Otherwise, not cooking much ... low energy. Not even reading food blogs much. Trader Joe's has been my friend.
