I’ve always loved a window over the kitchen sink. My grandparents’ house had one; my parents’ house does, too. It’s a wonderful detail that provides a pastime while doing the dishes. So, what to do when you find yourself (somehow!) in a home without a window above the sink? Try a mirror!
Today I have a treat for you! I had the pleasure of reviewing the new book Tea with Jane Austen by Pen Vogler; food photographer Stephen Conroy. This book, though little in size, packs a lot of baking for delicious tea time treats. The book was inspired by the novels and letters of Jane Austen. In this 64-page book are recipes for cakes and pastries based on authentic recipes from the Regency era which have been updated for the modern cook. The book has 22 recipes in total in which 6 are from Martha Lloyd's Household Book. Martha Lloyd was Jane Austen's dear friend and lived with her many years penning a collection of recipes called Martha Lloyd's Household Book. Some of the recipes included are English Muffins based on the muffins, served with after-dinner tea in Pride and Prejudice, a Buttered Apple Tart as served by Mr. Woodhouse to Miss Bates in Emma, and Jumbles inspired by the cookies enjoyed by Fanny in Mansfield Park. The original recipes are given along with the modified versions. I chose Jane's Sponge Cake to bake today with tea. The book states that the Oxford English Dictionary noted the first recorded use of the word "sponge cake" is by Jane, writing to her sister Cassandra. The recipe is taken from Martha Lloyd's Household Book. The cake is essentially a pound cake. They are often topped with just a dusting of powdered sugar. Mine came out to perfection. I have actually made two other recipes for the traditional tea time sponge cake and they both flopped. This recipe was a winner. Simply topped with fruit and powdered sugar it was a tea time treat befitting a relaxing afternoon spent reading this little treasure of a cookbook. My teacup reminds me of the Regency era. It is by Grace's Teaware. I thoroughly enjoyed the recipe book. Filled with interesting introductions to each recipe and delightful photography. I really loved the addition of adding the original recipes in their handwritten form. I always love reading historical recipes. I am a history nerd. I highly recommend this book for any tea lover, but if you are also a fan of Jane Austen it is a must read! I know a lot of you tea lovers are also Jane Austen fans, like me. It would make a perfect Mother's Day gift! I wish to thank Sara and Neha for the opportunity to review Tea with Jane Austen by Pen Vogler; published by Ryland Peters & Small, and CICO Books Inc ($14.95). They provided me with a copy of the book. The review and opinions were entirely my own.

Memories of Cree Probst as told by Glen W. Probst: Cree Probst and her fresh homemade bread, circa 1964. Mom would have been 69 years old. These pictures were taken by Perry Lee, brother of Pres. Harold B. Lee. He wanted to do an article for the Church News. Arrangements were made for him to contact Mom and Dad through Madelyn and Marilyn who were working in the Church Offices at the time. I think she made about five loaves of bread in each batch. She made them at least weekly and maybe twice a week when more of us children were at home. I remember her baking bread in the old coal burning kitchen stove back in the 1940s. We used to lean on it and eventually the round bar across the front became bowed inward from our weight over the years. She probably gave a loaf away from time to time, but I think we consumed it too fast. She would have never sold such an item, and I don't think she ever entered it in the fair. She may have displayed it at Swiss Days back in the late forties. The first Swiss Day celebration was held in 1947. Occasionally I got in trouble for eating the bread. I always cut the four sides (crusts) off and sometimes the tops, and Mom got after me for that. I really don't think she minded, but had to make a fuss about it just the same. Often I would sneak a loaf of bread, take it upstairs, and enjoy nibbling at it over the next several days. I remember on one occasion taking a one-quart jar of Mom's home bottled peaches, some bread, and walking up through the field to a secluded, sunny, and nice grassy spot on the bank of the Big Ditch, sitting down, and enjoying some wonderful homemade food! I was always a hungry teenager in those days. We always kept a bottle of cold water in the fridge to drink from. We all drank from it by pouring a cup of water from it. However, eventually I just began drinking straight from the bottle, and everyone else avoided it from then on. When my college friend and roommate, Theo Williams, would go to Midway and stay the weekends with us, he also would drink from the "community jug."

From Sarah Copeland's: Every Day is Saturday. I love the versatility of this sauce — I find myself dipping carrots into it when I need a snack to slathering it over toast for lunch to tossing it with grilled shrimp for dinner. Avocado: I love the creaminess the avocado lends here, but in place of it you could use something, as Sarah says, "with body." She offers miso, nuts, and tahini as alternatives to the avocado. I've been cutting 1 avocado in half and using the smaller half for this recipe.
