bake cocoon I really want to bake something tomorrow, but we have no eggs. That rules out pretty much everything except for bread. And my bread making skills arent up to scratch yet. Which obviously would be a good reason to MAKE bread, but I dont know. Its not really what I want. 081004 ... past make a pie. crust only needs flour, some kind of oil (whether butter, veg/canola oil, shortening is up to you), and water. other ingredients can be added to change the consistency, but the basic shell is just that: really basic 081004 ... cocoon hmmm, thats an idea. although i've never made a pie before. they always look a bit scary and complicated. vegetable pie? 081005 ... past you'd have to cook (likely bake) the vegetables first. last kind of pie i made was tortiere, and in that tradition you cook the meat first, and the baking of the pie is only to cook the shell. mmmm. 081005 ... cocoon sounds yummy. can you point me to any nice and simple recipes suitable for a beginner? 081005 ... package tourist i could dream up a few, are you still a beginner? hmmm... i had this dream last night.. 081006 ... cocoon Well as far as anything resembling pie goes - Im definitely a beginner. I've been trying to improve my bread baking skills lately, and I also do biscuits and cakes on occasion.
