Last night we baked. It's all for the office April birthdays so don't worry about us gaining 10000 pounds or 10000 cavities from eating all these sweet treats. The loaf is mixed from a 1947 family recipe with some added melted chocolate and walnuts on top instead of throughout because I only had about one half of a cup of walnuts in my freezer. Rebecca baked cookies,the orange vanilla chip recipe from Magnolia with chocolate chips instead of vanilla because we were out of those also. The cookies are on a Kim Parker plate whose work inspired the painting. Let's see what I learned from this baking, photoing experiment: buy more walnuts, buy more vanilla chips and live what you love, close-up and personal.
