Opportunity....

Happy Saturday!  Do you have plans for a good week-end?

Do you have a favorite flour when you bake?  Is there one in your area that everyone "swears by?" Do any of you use the King Arthur brand?

I began using King Arthur a few years ago, so I was really excited to see the announcement in our local newspaper about their baking team coming to town for two different demonstrations!

Display.

 

 

The Husband was interested in going with me, and we headed out mid-day on Wednesday for a demonstration on pie dough and scones.  The above display was in place when we arrived, and everything on the table was distributed as door prizes!  No.  I'm sorry to say that our ticket numbers were not called.  We did, however, enjoy the demonstration given.

Yay for cheese!

The Cabot Company has become a sponsor along with Red Star Yeast and Dansko shoes.

All needed supplies in order.

We enjoyed the first demonstration so much that we decided to attend the evening event.  This one was about yeast baking and using whole grain flour.  Yes, once again there were door prizes, and once again our numbers weren't called.  However, we did come home with some "goodies."

Flour for the pantry!

We now have a bag of King Arthur self-rising flour waiting in the pantry to be used, along with some good reading material.:-)  We were also given a sample size of Cabot cheese, a bowl scraper, and a packet of yeast.

It has been such a busy time here that I haven't done any bread baking.  I'm anxious to put to work some of the things we learned.

Oh, do you see the poinsettia in the background?  It is still doing beautifully from Christmas!  Also, the cloth is now the green and white of March.  The red and white have been stored away until the next time they are needed.

Thank you for reading.  I appreciate your comments.
