Fresh Out of the Oven

I have never spent much time baking.  My Mom was a wiz at it but I always

preferred cooking.  Recently I decided that it might be a good idea to try out

a few baking recipes and this morning would be the day to start.

I love blueberries and I love lemon so I just knew I was going to love this

bread.  It's a blueberry, lemon and pecan bread with a lemon glaze on top.

You can find the recipe here.

It also gave me the chance to use my Bennington Pottery bread pan.

It's in the Morning Glory Blue pattern.  David Gil started producing his 

pottery way back in 1964 in Bennington, Vermont.  I love their pieces 

and I think they mix and match quite nicely with my other pieces of

blue and white.  If you are not familiar with Bennington Pottery,

here is a link to their website where you can read about their history

and view some of their lovely collections.

One of the reasons I love blue and white china so much is that it

just lends itself to mix and matching and however you mix it, everything

always works so well together.  

I love this tiny cow creamer.  She came from Smitten up in Fredericksburg, TX.

My Mom and I each bought one of these Mason's sandwich trays on our last

trip to England together.  I love Mason's.  Don't see it here in the states but 

you can buy pieces off of eBay.  The teapot and cup and saucer in this

tablescape are Mason's too.

Here you are ~ two slices of freshly baked blueberry, lemon and 

chopped pecan bread.  I already had a slice just to test it out.  Don't

mind saying that it is yummy.  Bentley thought so too when I gave

him a little morsel.

No Bentley ~ you may not have anymore blueberry bread.

Mama wrapped it up and put it away.  Maybe tomorrow we

can have some more, but we will have to take a long walkie

afterwards to walk off the calories :-)
