Rich dark chocolate cheesecake swirled with marshmallows, on top of a fudge cake "crust", topped with a marshmallow sauce. Then garnished with marshmallows, cherries, peanuts, and chocolate ganache!
Basket #3
This was my first attempt at making a basket from scratch, from a pattern called "Amy's Basket". I'm starting to notice a trend that getting the basket started is the easy part! The top half of this design in particular was really a challenge, largely because the handle is built into the entire basket, meaning that the weave must conform to the shape of the handle. The handle for this basket tapers considerably from the base all the way up. Things got a little scary near the end; I had my first try at trimming down the stakes as I neared the top (to keep the vertical spacing somewhat more consistent), so that was pretty intimidating. But, I survived...and finished it halfway through the night :-)
Despite my tribulations, it is a very nice, sturdy basket, suited well for carrying any number of items from point A to B.
Dimensions: 8" x 8" x 8" (12", including the handle)

Is it silly to say that you love your own picture? I do. I am so happy with the way this bread came out. It looked good, it smelled good, it tasted good. This was a very good part of my day.
Most people get the bread baking bug in the winter, I always get it in the spring. I am not sure why I don't make bread all the time, it's really easy with the Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day book (ridiculously so, actually). This is the second night we have had homemade bread.
On Sindoni Lane in Hammonton. I first thought it was an arts and crafts store, but I have since looked it up and it is a bakery.
