And I haven't had breakfast this morning. Thanks for all these ideas, albeit I know I'll never actually do the baking of them. Probably just look out for where I can get them here in my city, without a membership in any Cork Poppers Group.

In fact, I've never once in my life thought of making crackers - why would you? There are perfectly acceptable toasts, crackers, flatbreads, cocktail loaves, etc. in the grocery store. <br /><br />Great photos of what seems always to be a good time, though. As for your cracker making? Well, you've just confirmed me in my prejudice!shoreacreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284698314697628805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-89030931682751571402014-03-27T06:55:20.723-04:002014-03-27T06:55:20.723-04:00I am glad that a bloggie friend was able to come t...I am glad that a bloggie friend was able to come through with a suggestion!

And not always such healthy fat. <br /><br />If you want to bake a savory bite-sized starchy base for eating cheese or various spreads, maybe it's better to think of it as something other than "cracker."<br /><br />Interesting how that's totally different from the idea of a cookie -- we have a very well-developed sense of artisan or home-baked cookies as well as the idea of (say) vanilla wafers or oreos.Mae Travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13328946930935633113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-83253646346193224912014-03-26T19:58:16.047-04:002014-03-26T19:58:16.047-04:00Wow!
