I Pita the Fool
I’ll admit it, I’m a fan of Mr. T. I used to watch the A-Team as a kid… anyone else? Hmmm… I think I just showed my age. For a short time used I even used the “Mr. T” voice on my GPS. However, I got tired of him calling me a fool if I missed a turn. Its all fun and games until you really start to feel like one! lol!
Anyway, I had some free time last week and decided I was in the mood the bake. After thumbing through my cookbooks, came across this recipe for pita bread. Since I had all of the ingredients on hand, pita it was! This was my first time making it, and I even impressed myself. Who know pitas were so easy to make and yet SO complicated looking! It really is fascinating how you can put a thin, flat piece of dough on a hot surface and it will balloon and turn into a beautiful pita. The best part is the dough is good in the fridge for up to a week. This means you can have fresh pita at your whimsy… Now THAT is good stuff, my friends!
Hoe Cake
No, this is not a sweet little nickname my husband has for me. It is the actual name of these corn flecked pancakes. Since corn has been so abundant here, I’ve been buying it every time I’m at the grocery store. I came across this recipe and knew I had to try it. The original recipe called for blackberries, but they were $4.99 for a 1/2 pint… raspberries were half that price. So raspberry it is! :-P
