This Foto Friday I would like to present you with the bread machine recipe I have been using most frequently this summer. It’s adapted from a recipe that came with our current bread machine, the Breadman Ultimate I learned to stop worrying and love, pictured here with the bread ingredients, on our kitchen counter:

A bit crowded on the counter, yes.

So I haven’t been blogging very consistently these past few months (to put it mildly), but I think I’ve come up with a bit of a solution: more picture posts! This solves both the “not blogging much” problem by also solving the “enormously behind on writing about all the food pictures I’ve taken in, well, a long time” and the “must strain to write more than a paragraph on the same subject” problems.

First, it’s been awhile since I’ve given props to Isa “The PPK” Chandra, but her most recent post was super-awesome for writing and cooking inspiration both. I mean, c’mon. Tempeh Helper: Just Like Mom Used To Never Make? Brilliant. Also, her chickpea-noodle soup was pretty much the best thing ever while I was rocking a gnarly cold this weekend. So yay Isa!

So I have an announcement. It turns out May 2009 is Tracy Wins Cookbooks From The Internet Month. Not that I’m complaining or anything, oh no, far from it. Here’s what happened:

I can’t seem to concentrate long enough to write more than a paragraph today, readers. At first I thought it was the cuteness of the cats snuggled up on either side of me:

but that excuse couldn’t last forever, and my writing did not improve when the purring distractions went away. The good news is, I had a lot of pretty TracyFood pictures on my camera, and writing captions is fun and easy. First up is sticky toffee pudding:

I made cake! Clearly, this was way more important than a Thursday TracyFood post, and playing with the pictures and recipe too distracting to permit me to post on Friday, either. (I did move this to the appropriate date eventually, though.)
