Cakespy: Peppernuts Cookies

my recipe says to "roll into a 1" diameter snake, cut into 1/4" disks" of course, the first sheet, I didn't leave enough space between them - making an 11"x17" sheet of super-ugly, super-yummy uber-cookie.

Sourdough Starter Lost Mojo

I've had really good luck with this guy's method http://www.sourdoughhome.com/startermyway.html - so long as I stick with the whole wheat flour. It definitely goes through periods of less happy, but I just kept feeding it morning and night.

Now it goes through a process like: feed, quiet for about 2 hours, active for about 2 hours, settles back down until next feeding.

Mixed Review: Instant Miso Soup

I've been considering a recipe or two that require miso soup as an ingredient.. this sounds like the most likely way I'd make one of them!

Threadless T-Shirt Giveaway: Lemon Aid

Muddle some mint in the bottom of a glass, at two tsp sugar, a shot of lemon juice (though I prefer lime), fill with ice, top with water or club soda..

Oh, I left out the shot of rum!

Yes, if life hands me citrus, it's time to make mojitos!

Baking in Wyoming

Denver area - the only "predictable" baking fix I've done is for cookies - I bump the oven up 25 degrees and pull them out a few minutes earlier than the recipe calls for. (it's something to do with the leavening acting faster here?)

I've had good success with bread and cake recipes with no modifications.

Lemon Cake-OOPS!!!

I did this the other day - luckily muffins don't need too much rise. For a cake, I would expect it to be extra dense - but looking at the amount of yogurt in the recipe, I bet it will still be nice and moist.
