Baking up a storm....

Ummmm! Butter, sugar, dark chocolate, farm fresh eggs--I'm in the kitchen most of the day today; not an unusual place for me to be! I have the honor of baking for a dear friend's retirement celebration at the courthouse tomorrow. In the works at the moment are brownies; one pan of "plain" double chocolate brownies and one pan of Marionberry-Walnut Brownies. Soon to follow will be a double recipe of Lemon-Ginger Zucchini Bread and then two varieties of Charleston Poundcake; vanilla and chocolate marble.

Later today I will mix the dough for a yeasted Pumpkin Pecan Bread with Dried Cranberries, but the hearth loaves won't be baked until tomorrow morning.

Sure smells good around here...
