     Hello everyone!  Thank you for taking the time to follow me on my start of a FOODIE Blog.  A place to share food ideas, recipes and information.  Don't give up on me yet!  I've been soooo involved with the upcoming Bake-Off that it has not left me affordable time to post new recipes though I have ENDLESS thoughts of recipes to share with you and have already photograghed several that I will share in the days ahead....AFTER the Bake-Off!  

Guest Speaker for New London-Spicer
FACS Creative Foods Classes on Bake-Off
Thank you Deb Wessling & Students!


     For now I thought I would share with you and will keep you updated on the media links and photos related to the Bake-Off.  I can not believe that I am leaving in one WEEK!  The clothes is picked out, the information organized, about 58 dozen scones baked since this past September...and all scarffed up I must say...not even one in the freezer.  That's because the few that have even made it to the freezer have been snictched out of the freezer...they are great to eat frozen too!
    This morning WCCO Channel 4 "The Early Show" aired an interview and partial demo that we taped last week.  We taped for about 2 1/2 hours and it is edited down to about the most important 3 minutes...haha! Thank you Angela Davis, you made the interview so fun and relaxing!  Here is a link for you to watch it:

     Also, for those of you in the area Willmar or MN...Senior Perspectives has written a feature story that was being published for the April Edition and should be on the stands or drop off places this weekend.  Thank you Bev Ahlquist for a great interview!  There is not a link that I am aware of but if I find one I will post it later.
     Monday, April 5, the West Central Tribune is publishing a "Kicker" article or well wishes ...send you off..article with a few new details.  Carolyn Lange is writing so we KNOW it will be very good. Thanks Carolyn.  After Monday you should be able to see the article online at  http://www.wctrib.com/
     Thursday, April 8, look in your Minneapolis Star and Tribune TASTE section for a feature story by Kim Ode on the 5 Minnesota Bake-Off Finalists!  I will post a link when available.
     Taking off for the big trip to Orlando Florida on April 10th.  We will bake on the 12th from 8:00am to 12:00 noon.  To give you a little preview or "taste" of what it will be like here is a little video from 2008 on the contest floor during the contest:

    The awards have been changed in the last couple days and WOWIE...is it a change!  Pillsbury announced that the top 4 category winners will be announced on the evening of the 12th as previously planned....HOWEVER, the grand prize winner will  not be announced until Wednesday, April 14th on OPRAH live...how exciting.  So the 4 will be flown to Chicago and then the grand prize winner will head off to New York City for a media tour following OPRAH...well one in 100 chance for $1 Million and one in aobut 25 chance to Meet OPRAH and win $5,000.  So excited but the competition is very steep...I've tried many of the competitors recipes and they are delicious.  You can check all 100 out also by following this link:  http://www.bakeoff.com/

    By the way....the "Pillsbury Bake-Off 100 Winning Recipes" cookbooklet is out in the stores now ...only $4.99 for 100 awesome recipes, all with full color glossy pictures.  Check your grocery store, bookstore  or where ever magazines are sold. 

     Well, enough excitement and look-ups for you for today...but I wanted to let you know that I haven't forgotten about the BLOG, I just haven't had time to add more recipes at this time. Blessings to you, let me know if you have any special request recipes to BLOG in the future.  Thank you for your support and interest in my Bake-Off and Foodie Journey!

    USB port, then reinsert it. On the bright side, the
    actual functionality of the integration is perfect. t recognize then check

  2. Better you connect another mouse with your computer.
    Recently many players encounter G27 problem in Shift 2: Unleashed.
    There are twelve programmable G-Keys on the left side
    of the keyboard.

  3. No longer does a music lover need to bother about traveling out of range when a fantastic song comes
    on over the vehicle radio. Regular workshops ensure that the staff at PVM
    Radio subdivision is not only up to date with
    the latest technological innovations, but also ensures that the customers from diverse backgrounds are offered the best possible
    services to suit their tastes. Another radio commercial production tip to chew on is to make sure the audio quality is excellent
    on any spot your produce.

  4. Upon examining some etymological dictionaries, one can conclude that
    games are a creative expression of the human spirit through the creation of an activity that has an entertaining,
    instructive and competing element. t want to forget to buy your all star game tickets
    at Angels Stadium from an independent ticket broker that cares more
    about customer satisfaction than the bottom line.

  5. The fishfinder approximates where the fish
    are by measuring the amount of time between when the beam was sent out and when it
    registered the hit. Never dawned on me that they might want to
    try it, so I was surprised one day in the late-eighties
    when my son called and said they wanted to go fishing.
    The less there is between you and the ocean, the more intimate an experience you will have out at sea.

  6. In the four tournaments since his first of the season, he.
    Don't leave the landscape designing and terrain optimization to the last moment. It is recommended that the golfers select those putters with which the golfers feel good and works well with their gaming pattern.

  7. She is likely a WARRIOR PERSONALITY I talk about in the KWML Mastery Course
    on women, dating, love, and friendship. While having a passion for playing
    games is important, getting a rewarding career in game design
    will require students to be a cut above the competition. Next Jim Deacove developed a few of his own board games based on
    the principles of cooperation, group strategy and joint problem solving.

  8. This method of fishing also has a by-catch
    of non-target species such as sharks, dolphins, turtles,
    and other non-target fish species. Never dawned on me that
    they might want to try it, so I was surprised one day in the late-eighties when my son
    called and said they wanted to go fishing.
    When the water arrives at the inlet, most oxygen is dissolved because
    of the abrupt transformation of water movement.

  10. Like any game, when we stay within the rules,
    we score, and when we play outside the rules there of course is a
    penalty. It should come as no surprise that i
    - Tunes is loaded full of pirate apps for i - Phone, i - Pod
    Touch, and i - Pad. Are you a Kansas City Chiefs
    or Pittsburgh Steelers fan.

  11. It bears mentioning that there are also games and
    simulations available to those wanting to learn to trade stock index futures.
    All spaceship game leveling systems are designed
    slightly differently, but there are some general concepts that
    apply to all games in this genre. Preparing to apply to the dozens of other game development companies for video game jobs will enable you to expand and diversify your list of possible employers, and your chances of
    getting hired will increase tremendously.

  12. Once you have done this, set the burn speed to 4x and click Burn and wait for it to
    complete. Imagine never having to worry about what to wear to work, and even the infuriating traffic jams that never seem to end.
    If you want to be able to hit the ball further and
    harder, you should keep in mind to keep your grip on the bat loose, your swing should begin with
    your legs and hips, and finally, you must always follow
    your bat through.

  13. Sure, we still have traditional radio stations that do perfectly well with their traditional equipment, but increasingly, more and more users have shifted to
    the internet. Hollywood 27 is first and foremost a film company, but
    recently it has ventured into broadcasting music of various genres
    via the popular platform Live365. Whether you
    are a fan of NC Hammer or any other hip hop, you could
    hear it as many times as you can in a hip hop radio.

  14. “This is what is the most exciting to me, we
    play the independent bands that submit to us (and Music Submit), from all kinds of musical genres and it is a free format, for both the listener and the bands.
    Radio not only offers the option of fresh songs but also offers many other features like a talk show or sports broadcast.
    So the next time you want to listen to new music you wouldn’t here
    on commercial radio, consider Internet radio.
