The Big B. (as in baking)
Yesterday, Jon, Tom, & Mykal came to the House of Rock for a bakefest like none before.
We baked a lot of food including:
Peach Cobbler
White Chocolate Challah Bread Pudding
Homemade Crackers
Mocha Cake
Sugar Bread (with whole sugar cubes!)
Spinach Souffle’
Almond Macaroons
Ultimate Oatmeal Cookies
Fun was had. Check out some pictures!
Tom’s Hazelnut mocha cake was created from scratch. We had some trouble with the first batch of frosting and had to try a second time. Apparently cakes are tough to make, so kudos to Tom for his stellar efforts.
Here, Jon is stirring the batter for the oatmeal cookies. Notice the look of determination!
Here’s a sampler of some of the creations. That’s White Chocolate Challah Bread Pudding at the bottom of the picture.
And here’s a video of some marzipan that was probably sitting around too long.
Jon! You whisk with the wrist, not the arm!! -2 points.
This cookie dough resists dainty wrist movements. It requires a whole body cardio approach. Just ask MikeD.
If that is the case, may I propose the following thought experiment, then?
MikeD also suggested the blue thunder be called into the job but i had already gotten a whisk and bowl dirty so i plowed forward.
I hereby declare my kitchen aid to be renamed “BLUE THUNDER”
What was it named before?
I think it was “El Guapo”, or perhaps “El Guano”.
“El Guano”
“The Bird Shit”?
It was the CB5Q325W67PMKSM150PSKASM for short, which as you know, can be a bit of a mouthful.
Guano comes from bats, not birds.
Wikipedia says: “Guano (from the Quechua ‘wanu’, via Spanish) is the name given to the collected droppings of seabirds, bats, and seals.”
oooooh!!! Roland strikes back!

Listen for the lines about guano. Poor little Batfly.
Roland finally gets a point, now he has 0. (I’ve looked everywhere, and I can’t find you getting a point previously).
Which means that you’re ahead of Jon, who apparently has -2 points now.
Ha ha, I thought it said “lack of determination” not “look of determination”
Wow, so much baking! Yay!
