A Slice of Heaven (Part 2) - Beer Bread & Buns

For Part 2 in this  series   I decided to indulge into two other favorite bread recipes, that's is not just dynamic, but delicious and wholesome.  Beer bread and Buns.  In recent times it has been difficult to bake beer bread, and I don’t like to mention Covid 19 (hold my beer), but we were unable to purchase any alcohol as the government imposed an alcohol ban in our country.  This in turn inhibited me to bake or create anything that contained alcohol, especially our family favorite - beer bread.   Banned? The ban was lifted then imposed then lifted, then imposed again,  so when we had the chance to buy any beer (and there weren’t many - I am an Essential Worker), we had to jump to the opportunity. This meant that standing in a long queue with short frustrations was the new normal.   A slice of  Heaven Alas! I was able to get the ingredients for my recipe and then I created a slice of heaven.   That first slice was heaven, topped with melted golden butter delight.  A bliss to the

Baked Peach Dessert with Custard & Strawberries - Home sweet home!




I really get excited for my days off from work during the week.  With everything that is happening in the world right now, I can't wait to get home after a long shift.  We all need a break from the world and all the drama currently in it.

Avengers, Assemble!

Every day we wake up early and like the Avengers, we assemble to fight the "fight" - and like all essential workers around the globe, we work tirelessly against the villain - Covid 19.  It is not going away very soon and for now this is the new normal.  Everyone needs a break now and then.  They say home is where the heart is, and home is my happy place!

Dance like no one is watching.

Home is where I can be myself, unapologetically me.  I can create without judgment, I can dance like no one is watching (Hawke - I see you).  I can cook up a storm and make a mess, I can experiment with new ideas and just be me.  

This tastes like Home...

We are blessed with lovely friends, who like us, share our home sweet home sentiment. On our last visit before the restrictions, we had a lovely evening filled laughter and joy.  We are always treated to delightful delicacies (this seems to be far away, a time before the world went up in smoke).  On this evening we were presented with a delicious baked Apple Dessert.  The warm, soft and sweet sponge delight took us places.  This tasted like home...

Trying to figure this out.

On our way back my mind went into overdrive, trying to figure out how to recreate this (but in my own weird and wonderful way).  What can I add to this recipe, what can I take away?  After a few failed attempts (including a spiced pumpkin version), I finally settled on a Peach Custard variant.

This delicious dessert is suitable for those cold icy winter days, or even for the scorching hot summer times.  One can serve it with cool yummy ice cream or warm custard.
