Glad your family are enjoying the photos :D<br /><br />Helen - I know what you mean, although I suffer from lack of self motivation. Having a challenge encourages me to try new things I'd probably put off otherwise... <br /> <br />Joy - That's a great idea! They live a couple of hundred miles away though, maybe have to pack it up in a cool box!<br /><br />Sarah - I like coffee! It's a weird flavour, seems to really split people one way or another. I really like the db community too, it's good to chat to other people who are interested in serious baking and don't just make packet mix cakes!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08171407006261100905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2022973677800835958.post-81107147656708795422010-03-02T11:46:05.208+00:002010-03-02T11:46:05.208+00:00My second month with Daring Bakers and like you I ...My second month with Daring Bakers and like you I wasn't overly excited at first look at the recipe. However once I came up with an alternative flavour to the dreaded coffee and got going I really enjoyed it. I was daunted at first by the amount of stuff that needed to be done with this but I genuinely did several things for the first time - the biscuits, the zabaglione, the creme patissiere and mascarpone that I might never otherwise have had the wherewithal to do. I don't really understand the earlier comment about linking to other people's sites - it's just the host that you link with which is hardly a burden. But like anything if you don't enjoy it, don't do it. I am personally really enjoying the community that comes with DB, I might not do it for longer than a year but I am finding it good fun at the moment.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14509940451345540183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2022973677800835958.post-13830718588025308942010-03-01T09:17:38.682+00:002010-03-01T09:17:38.682+00:00I was impressed by your tiramisu, but I think you ...I was impressed by your tiramisu, but I think you should give the leftovers to T's parents!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09337016058758202863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2022973677800835958.post-15100036141870519592010-02-28T20:30:48.929+00:002010-02-28T20:30:48.929+00:00I used to be in the Daring Bakers but it did my he...I used to be in the Daring Bakers but it did my head in beyond belief! everything was all about linking up to other people and overcomplicating things and in the end I wound up thinking 'I can just cook anything I want to cook any time I want to cook' why bother having these challenges that I 'have' to make!Helenhttp://www.helengraves.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2022973677800835958.post-85334105994034649072010-02-27T14:18:18.604+00:002010-02-27T14:18:18.604+00:00Looks stunning!

Your photos are like food porn to them!Chelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00939575593242980773noreply@blogger.com
