Ingredients to Heal One's Soul
At a certain point, one must move on from grief and apply their efforts to something far more constructive. Today that took form in a bit of kitchen experimentation. BTG is a lover of Madeleines and I of baking; however, such delights can take their toll on one's waistline. In an attempt to mitigate the impact of indulgence and on BTG's suggestion, I baked whole wheat Madeleines. My loyal recipe was sourced at 101 Cookbooks; simply substitute 3/4 cup flour minus 1.5 tablespoons whole wheat flour for the all-purpose.
This must be Madeleine week for me...I keep seeing them everywhere - Starbucks, in photos, paintings, tv and now here :O)
ReplyDeleteWe just love Madeleines in our house. The are my daughter's favourites (she thinks they are named after her) so we have them in the home at all times.

red - I'm sure if you sent my father a big check in the mail he would bake you bread and send you a handcrafted, wooden litter box, provided you have a cat. That's his other specialty.
ReplyDeleteKathy - Yes, Katharine Hepburn is one of the best!
Lily - I'm starting to cheer up a bit. The Madeleines help! Your daughter is absolutely adorable. Great name!
These sound lovely. I have never had them. Now I must try to find them!
