I just have one problem. I have 2 best friends who happen to be twins and sisters. They are getting married this summer about a week apart and i'm their maid of honour. My problem is that I want to hold an awesome bridal shower but I don't know what to serve since they are vegetarian. Please help! Thanks so much and keep up with the blog. Mya Hi Joy,

My boyfriend got me hooked on it in October (that and some almond biscotti) and it makes my mornings perfect.

Then I read this post. I immediately took the buttermilk out of the trash. My buttermilk and I both say thank you! You saved precious ounces from being lost forever. And I also thank you for being such a great inspiration for me. It really brightens my day when you have a new post and I get to read it. I started a blog (finally), and I put the link where it says website. It is combination art and food blog, because I love to paint. Thanks again, Joy!

I'm hooked. I love baking & my go to cookbook was my grandmother's passed down to my mom & then to me (its from 1953). I don't have a stand mixer :( its on my wish list but until then everything is done by hand. I think that there is nothing like bread kneaded by hand, it has a different texture & flavor. Having never actually made a sweet potato pie despite my best intentions to the contrary, I would love to see your recipe. Well, kids are kids & life is crazy but I promise I'll be back to visit sometime soon. Just found your site via PW’s Tasty Kitchen. I’m hooked.

Seriously. I make everything with sweet potatoes... including curry. 2) HA! I *knew* that the buttermilk dates were lying to me. I've never pushed it to when I really thought it had gone bad, I always panic a week after the expiration date, but now you have given me faith and I will stare it down next time. 1) Sweet potato pie would make me happier than anything else in the world.

I just made the chocolate chip cookies tonight and they came out sooo good - crispy on outside, but not too bad and chewy on the inside. Not too sweet either. My husband just ate three of them. :) I added some walnuts in about 6 of them. Question(s): How many cookies do you get our of this recipe, what kind of chocolate chips do you use, whats the difference between bread flour and regular flour - I did use the bread flour -seem to be firm with the bread flour and how long do you chill the dough? I also used my kitchen aid mixer and that really is great when baking. Everything seems to come out better than using a hand mixer. Thanks again! Bye, -Kim Hi, Joy –
