New Recipe To Try - Amish Cinnamon Bread

The productivity continued on till the evening, where I decided to try on the recipe of Amish Cinnamon Bread from Redfly Creations 

This gave me the opportunity to run my still brand new mixer I got from my best friend on one of my birthday several years ago! It hasn't been used at all for at least 6 or 7 years! Amazing that it still works perfectly! I am so grateful for it, since it eased my work very much!

I was actually thinking about baking some banana bread, but then I stumbled upon this recipe and since I have all the ingredients I gave it a go.  As usual, I cut the amount of sugar because I don't have a sweet tooth, so I cut the sugar from 2 cups to 1 1/4 cups only, given that the topping will use another 2/3 cups of cinnamon sugar. And it proved to be perfect for me!

Look at the crumbly and soft texture, it's yummy!

Potted Garden Apprentice

Today has been a great and productive day! I moved my mango tree to a new pot this morning. I am happy to see it sit comfortably in its new dwelling. I also started to germinate some seeds in mostly recycled containers: Basil which I bought from a nearby Ace Hardware store, Lemon, Lime and Orange Bell-Pepper which I saved myself. To make it easier for me to remember the date and check up on the germination, I put a label on each container.



And then, I organized my remaining seeds in small zip-lock plastic bags. Well, talking about seeds, I am so glad to have been informed that a dear friend from the States is coming to Indonesia this coming November, because that means she can bring me some seeds I am going to order from an organic source in America! Well, I'm not really sure if the seeds will be able to grow in the tropical weather of Indonesia, but I will try anyway. I have made a list and so far there have been 67 types of vegetables and fruit seeds in it! Gosh! I can't help it, I want to plant them all!
