Something fishy is going on around here.

I'm about to go to Wildberries Market (they have a better selection of organic baking chocolate than the co-op! [edit- wrooong!]) and get ingredients for monkey bread. I've been wanting to make that for the longest time, but I didn't have a tube pan. I just bought one off eBay and it arrived a few days ago. Horray!

I also bought a popover pan and I just have to make some really, really soon! Popovers were my first baking success when I was a lassie, and for a long while I'd make them almost every weekend. I recently bought a cookbook called Lost Recipes - meals to share with friends and family by Marion Cunningham only because when I pulled it off the shelf and opened it to a random page, there before me was a recipe for popovers!! If that wasn't a sign to buy it, I don't know what that was ;) the book is an absolute delight. It's all about the values of bringing family and friends back to the dinner table and being in charge of your food (is: using fresh unadultered ingredients)

And I promise you that with the baking of monkey bread and popovers, I will create cooking vLogs about (showing off) the organic sustainable ingredients. Especially Strauss Family Farm organic milk, because I am beyond thrilled to have discovered them! And I will show you just exactly why.

Jesse went fishing the other day and brought home three black rock fish and one big awesome ling cod. Last night we fried up a bunch of filets and had his sister over for fish & chips.
