Irish Soda Bread

   On another make it yourself mission. This is a pretty easy bread dish, which is probably why I went for it. I'm just proud of myself for making the bread.

Ingredients
    3 cups of all purpose flour
    1 1/2 tsp baking powder
    1 tsp baking soda
    1/2 tsp cream of tartar
    1/2 tsp of salt
    1 cup of sugar
    1 1/2 cups of golden raisins
    1 1/2 cups of buttermilk
    2 eggs, beaten
    2 tbs of butter, melted


 Directions
   Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
   Sift dry ingredients three times.
   Soak golden raisins in hot water for 5 minutes, drain and add to dry ingredients.
   Mix together buttermilk, eggs and butter, then add to dry ingredients
   Stir until moistened.
   Bake in a greased 2 quart dish at 350 degrees for 45 to 55 minutes.
   Let cool before cutting into wedges.


 Changes I Made!
     None, I'm completely clueless on what makes bread great.


This recipe comes from The Book Lover's Cookbook.

Unfried Chicken

Penne alla Vodka

     For me, trying out new things is a must for this challenge, and new sauces is differently something I have found joy in.      Now the last sauce, also bought to you by Audrey at Home, but this one is so much more simpler and doesn't call for a hand mill. Ingredients     1/2 onion     pinch crushed red pepper flakes     5 1/2 tbs of unsalted butter     1 cup tomato puree     1/2 cup of good quality Russian vodka     1/2 cup of heavy cream     Sea Salt     1 lb of penne     1 ounce of parmigiano-reggiano Directions       In a large skillet saute onion and pepper flakes in butter, over medium heat.       Add tomato puree, reduce heat to low and cook for a few minutes.       Stir in vodka and cook down for 15 minutes.       Add cream.       Meanwhile, cook pasta. ...

Spaghetti al Pomodoro

     It seems like every good cook knows how to make a sauce, and that's why I chose this recipe. Every good Italian mama has their signature sauce, and I am neither Italian or a mama, so I gave this recipe a whirl. Audrey Hepburn was at least a mama after all.      The sauce does take awhile so give yourself a few hours to make it. Ingredients      3 lbs vine-ripened tomatoes, coarsely diced      1 onion, peeled and left whole      1 stalk of celery, cleaned      1 carrot, cleaned left whole      6 basil leaves, chopped      extra virgin olive oil      pinch of sugar      salt      pepper      1 lb of spaghetti      Parmigiano- Reggiano Directions       In a large pot, with a lid over it, cook tomatos, onion, celery, and carrot for 10 minutes.   ...
