This is a ramble for Sunday Salon and Weekend Cooking events as we made a spur of the moment decision to go camping. Finally arrived in Georgia and it's so hot! While I'm cooling down inside here's the week of reading and baking.
Reading
The Banker’s Wife by Cristina Alger was pretty good and I would read more by this author. Financial crime, murder and mystery. Currently I am reading The Ruin by Dervla Tiernan. This is the first in a series featuring D. I. Cormac Reilly. It's set in Ireland and the blurb on the front states it's for fans of Tana French so...I'm on board. Tana is one of my favorite authors. So far I'm loving it.
Library Loot / two movies with Morgan Freeman. That was actually a coincidence. Lucky # Slevin and Seven. Similar titles too. You just can't plan that.
Clouds which were quite interesting in formation. Doug took the photo.
Sipping / Côtes Du Rhône
Baking / English Muffin Toasting Bread, a recipe from the King Arthur Flour site HERE.
Baguettes are our favorite so they are made fairly regularly.
Sharing with Sunday Salon & belatedly with The Intrepid Reader for Weekend Cooking.
Looking forward to Deb's photos from Paris this week!
The wine, bread, and fruit look delish!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Harvee!
DeleteNice looking wine & bread! Have fun camping.
ReplyDeletebest... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Thank you, Mae. Bread and wine always go along :-)
DeleteI used to love Tana French's books, but not her more recent releases. I'll be eager to see how you wind up liking The Ruin.
ReplyDeleteOooh, Seven is such a good movie. It's been years since I watched it, though.
That wine looks yummy!
Enjoy your camping trip. I'm getting anxious to head out next month for three weeks. It's been a long wet winter and we are finally ready to hit the road!
Les, I'm with you about Tana's latest books. I still think she's a fabulous writer but I loved the Dublin Murder Squad more. Looking forward to hearing about your camping trip upcoming!
DeleteEnjoy your camping! Your bread looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Marg! We are enjoying it. The weather is nice.
DeleteYour bread & baguettes look so good! I have listened to the audio of one of Cristina Alger's books ... Girls Like Us ... it was just okay but maybe her other ones are better. Happy camping! your dog looks cute.
ReplyDeleteCueCard - This was my first book by Alger and I liked it. Thanks for you compliment about Loki!
DeleteOh, that bread looks so, so good! Hi, Loki!
ReplyDeleteStacy, Loki says hi!
DeleteWE love baguettes too and my husband eats some daily! The wine looks pretty good too.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Judee.
DeleteI think I need your baguette recipe. We are bringing home from France our new addiction to them.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great time camping. I'm thinking of buying a camping tent. My husband doesn't want to tent camp, but I do. I just need to be courageous.
Côtes Du Rhône sounds fabulous. It looks fabulous, too.
Deb, I will send the recipe to you, it's so easy. We don't tent camp anymore because we'd never sleep but we do have fun!
DeleteI love Baguettes, especially with soup. I want to go camping so much but my family only wants to go Glamping :(
ReplyDeleteVicki, baguettes are my favorite bread to bake. Nice texture. We "glam" as well as I know we won't sleep in a tent!
DeleteI loved the Ruins! I thought it was a stand alone. I'll have to grab the next one. Those breads look scrumptious!
ReplyDeleteHeather, I have been seeing this author and grabbed a copy before our trip. I will read more by McTiernan.
DeleteThe only good thing about winter is red wine!
ReplyDeleteThe Banker's Wife does sound like a good and compelling read and something I will probably also enjoy a lot.
Sorry I reply to you so late, the week has been busy so far!
