Leaning tower of macaroons!
Brioche-some to eat, some to keep
There is a lovely bakery in s.f called Tartine. They have a cookbook, everyone who wants to know how to bake bread should buy it.
One of the recipes for deliciousness is the brioche dough. Yesterday I tried it out and might add that I was rather successful.
I used 14 eggs!!! And a pound of butter. Yummy?
Mixing it all together!!!!
Adorable little brioche tins–find at Sur La Table: letting the brioche rise in order to allow it to develop an airy texture
All done!!
The coolest thing about brioche is that you can freeze the dough and remove it the night before to thaw in the fridge.
Anyone else ever tried homemade brioche?

7 layer godliness
We often dream of heaven… Luckily for us bakers and sweet tooths there is a remedy in the form of dessert. And specifically dream bars.
Why don’t you try some out and tell me how your little piece of heaven tastes?
7 layer bars
Mix 2 cups of graham crackers with one stick of melted butter. Line a deep baking dish (I like 1″ deep at least) with the crumb mixture.
On top spread 1 cup dark chocolate chips, 1 cup butterscotch chips, 1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut, and 1/2 cup chopped pecans. Spread 1 14oz can of sweetened condensed milk all over.
Bake in a 375*f oven until golden brown, about 25 minutes.
Cut into any shape your heart desires and eat some warm out of the pan.
