*** A WORD FROM THE KITCHEN *** Well I officially have both girl and boy scouts
now and tonight off to a fun event at the corn
maze which turned out to be same night/same place
same time when does that ever happen? And with
this Indian Summer we're having it couldn't be
more perfect weather for a campfire night with
smores! Btw: Anyone every see those humongous
marshmallows they have out? You'd think they
would make awesome smores but I found out there
is such a thing as too much marshmallow it's all
about the ratio unless you like super sticky
fingers. Hope you are all getting in some fall
fun!
Don't you just love the sweet smell of cinnamon
in the morning? We look forward to our occasional
lazy "sweet roll Saturday" MORNINGS at home. Fill
your kitchen with the scent that draws families
together on sleepy weekend mornings too with this
recipe for COBBLESTONE BREAKFAST BREAD. This is
kind of a twist on something called monkey bread
or pull-apart bread where you toss cut up dough
pieces in a loaf pan and they bake into a loaf.
Enjoy!

PERFECT COFFEE TIPS:What goes better with morning sweets that the
perfect cup of Java? Here are some helpful tips
for better brewing:
Keep coffee in an air tight container and store
in a cool, dark place. Try the freezer! For best
results buy the whole beans and grind them yourself
just before use.
If you notice any traces of chlorine, iron, or
other minerals in your water, use a quality bottled
or filtered water. * Softened or distilled water
will effect the flavor of the coffee and should
not to be used.
It's said the best water-to-coffee ratio is 1
tablespoon of ground coffee or 2 tablespoons of
whole beans for each 6 ounces of water. You be the
judge.
NOTE: Boiling or reheating coffee literally boils
away flavor. A thermal carafe will keep the coffee
hot for up to 2 hours without losing any flavor.
The cream or sugar is a matter of preference so
you're on your own there ;o)
