Thursday night, Matt and Rachel came over for dinner, a midwife appointment and what is becoming a regular event; our bake-a-thon. We begin the evening with dinner and conversation, always a pleasant start. Once our bellies are full, we start baking...and baking...and baking. We each chose a recipe and start making it with ingredients contributed by both parties. Eventually, we are just waiting for things to go in and out of the oven and toaster oven. (it sure gets a good workout!) Then, we start our midwife appointment. Yesterday we heard the baby's heartbeat going strong at 170 beats per minute!
Our last bake-a-thon, lasting from dinner to clean-up was 4.5 hours. In that time, we made 25 multigrain bagels. They taste sooo delicious straight out of the oven!
We also made a couple dozen peanut butter cookies,
a batch of peanut butter granola, and some peanut butter balls (do you sense a theme here?). We also made some strawberry white chocolate scones which Matt describes as "EPIC!" We are not quite sure exactly where this comes from, but we take it to mean that he likes them quite a bit. Perhaps the old adage is true, the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Rach....you can keep him forever if you just keep baking!
