Labor Day Holiday #548.

[Karen]

Later this evening I will be trying something new - saw a recipe for strawberry bread that just seemed intriguing, so I will let you all know how it goes! Someone in Australia posted a recipe on Facebook, but rather than try to look up all the terms, and do the math to convert amounts, I just Googled it and found one in American measurements!

As a child, we only had strawberries fresh, as if they were older than a day after they were picked, ma would get an allergic reaction to them. So we'd go strawberry picking, then clean and slice a mess of them for shortcake and any leftovers for strawberry ice cream, so cooking with them (besides for jam) will be a new experience!

Well, the strawberry bread is done, and it turned into more of an experiment than I intended, but is yummy! It is more delicate than I expected, and I had to do some funky moves to get it all done, as I varied things, didn't start in a big enough bowl, don't know where my other loaf pan is* so ended up with one big loaf and two small, but all in all, a success!

I guess I was expecting banana bread or pumpkin bread like texture, or muffiny, but it is more delicate by far.

*likely the storage space, but in which box of dishes, not sure!

So strawberry bread to share, anyone?

Trivia time!

How many square feet will a dropped jar hot steaming hot strawberry jam cover?

[Karen]

Yikes - don't wanna know the answer to that one! Did a certain canine try to assist with cleanup and burn her tongue?

[Lady's Human]

The answer is all of them.

Angel was preoccupied when the jar hit the deck, thankfully.

[Karen]

Thank goodness Angel was occupied! I hope none of it burned you, LH or any of the humans either! There's nothing quite as sticky and dangerous as scalding hot jam.

ON a side note, what does our kitchen have in common with Reggae?


We be jammin, mon!
