It's a yummy quick bread: dense, savoury and easy to make. Do you bake? If you're interested I can post the recipe.

what the...
is a hello dollie?

Hello Dolly!

Yes, I want to know what it is, and I want a recipe!

It sounds like the stuff of queenus-maximus kitchen wetdreams!

btw, have you ever had snickerdoodles?

No, what are snickerdoodles?

You realise, of course, that fabulous as regular shortbread is (I truly think of it as the Food of the Gods), it's even more divine when you add a layer of Belgian chocolate on top! see, the chocolate cuts the sweetness/buttery flavour of the shortbread...

But I like the unadulterated creamy sweet smooth buttery flavour! I have tried variations on shortbread before, but always return to the original.

The pumpkin bread was wonderful!

And it wasn't that hard to make. I'm gonna have to ask nicely for the recipe. Maybe I can exchange knitted items for it!

All of these sound lovely. I'm interested to see what the spicy orange ginger cookies are like!

Hugs Van and happy baking! Danny

That's a generous offer, but I have already divulged the recipe in the discussion following this entry:

Spice and daydreams

Feeling blue tonight, and wishing for a hug.

Thanks for the link to the recipe. I might give this a try this weekend. Bill and Daniel might be away, and I have a feeling I'll want to be all domestic for a change.

Smooch! Danny

They all sound quite yummy!!!!!!

I do have a recipe for old cheddar and herb scones. It so kicks ass for a savoury bread.
But, it's good your sweet tooth calls out to you.

Happy Baking!

Yes, it's the one savoury item on the list. It's a quick bread, dense and flavourful. The scones sound nice. I have a nice recipe for tart cherry-and-vanilla scones which I might make if my daughters and I have brunch guests at Christmas time.
