what's cooking, good looking
This weekend, when I wasn't professing undying love to our borrowed vacuum cleaner, there was a lot of cooking from a yay-my-husband-is-home Shabbat dinner with friends including chicken with almost 40 cloves of garlic to my first six-string challah. Later, there were various butter and brown sugar concoctions like leftover challah French toast with a bananas and peach foster-type topping for brunch with my sister and a fresh pineapple upside down cake with a liberal (fine, excessive) application of Cuban rum for a BBQ with the in-laws.
All in all, I couldn’t imagine a more appropriate way to usher in the beginning of bathing suit season.

The pics look wonderful & the description sounds even better. It's only 8:30am over here & I'm drooling!

Hey, I made those pineapple upside down cupcakes before. She got that from Women's Day or Family Circle. They were so cute. :)

You are sooo evil. The pictures are so yummy looking and I have a plain salad waiting for me for lunch. I can't wait until September and the wedding is over and I can eat the yummy stuff without worring if I can still fit in the dress!

Would you possibly be willing to post the challah recipe you used? I was going to make challah for the first time next weekend and I am looking for a little direction, as I have never baked bread of any kind before, other than banana bread.

Your challah looks delicious. I've been struggling with making challah. Any chance you can post your recipe? You know, smitten should have her own cooking show...
