Reading instructions for my up-side-down blog.

Just start with the blog titled, Food, Gratitude and Joy, in the side menu; then work your way to the top.
Thanks for your patience!

P.S. The food section is for the grandchildren.
I need help! How do I get the blog to come out in the order I would like? AND, how do I get more than one picture transferred from Picassa to my blog?

Here is a fun video of Jason doing his dance.

Cooking lesson - Leavening Agents
To leaven means to make light and porous (full of pores or tiny cells). A leavening agent causes cakes and breads to rise. Leavening agents include:
1. Air enclosed in beaten egg white as in sponge cake.
2. Steam, as in pop-overs.
3. Baking powder.
4. Soda and sour milk (or acid ingredient such as cream of tartar)
5. Yeast

More about how leavening agents work next post.

Last but not least, GRATITUDE. Gratitude is a leavening agent in our lives. It smooths out the rough days and allows us to feel peace amidst trouble. I am grateful for each of you. I love being your grandmother and your Mom!
Lots of love,
Grandma Davis and Mom
Questions? Suggestions? Comments? I would love to read or hear them!
Serve hot! I like to split open (separate top and bottom) and spread with jam, but it is also very good accompaniment to chicken dinner.

Transfer to an ungreased baking sheet. Bake in pre-heated, hot oven 450 degrees for 11 minutes. (If using convection air, reduce time to 7 1/2 minutes.)
