Random Fall 2014 photodump

*creeeeeeeeak*  [peeking in door] 
Wow, it's really dusty in here.  *cough cough*

Hello everybodeeeee!!  I know you've all been waiting with baited breath for our next exciting installment of the Ongoing Adventures of the Pickles, and since I had nothing better to do this afternoon I thought I might oblige our adoring public.  Mwah!

Here are some random bits of Pickleness from the fall.

Adventures in Gluten-free Baking

Christmas post coming!  But until then, we present for your viewing pleasure, the uni-cookie!

Which, when removed from the tray, looks like this:

Next time, less butter.  Meanwhile, someone hand me a spoon!

(The next batch, to which was added more gluten-free mix, came out more normal):

Haven't done one of these in a while, although I have ideas for them all the time!

Miriam is a GREAT baby holder

airing out the baby blankets before the baby was born -- getting ready for the baby makes me happy every time.  I like feathering my nest. :)

bedtime?  teddy bear: check.  hockey stick: check.

Jojo's opinion of beer. (not sure grog rations will appeal to this one...)

{real}

hm. maybe spray painting on a windy day wasn't such a good idea.  either that or I need a larger tarp.  hope this comes off with powerwashing!

I guess Mr. Pickles' gluten-free baking mix isn't totally equivalent to flour in a snickerdoodle recipe.  housewifery FAIL.

I think my bread machine is trying to tell me something

...something along the lines of "Get off your lazy butt and make some bread by hand already!!!"

So... anybody have any suggestions for what to do with a crumbly brick of otherwise delicious bread?
