I think it is a good outlet and a fun way to connect with people with my same interests. Don't even get me started on wishing my pics looked like Peabody-man!Mary Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14968626454134323244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404943731575001815.post-19066040516904694722008-05-31T20:30:00.000-07:002008-05-31T20:30:00.000-07:00i always buy sugar, butter, and chocolate chips in...i always buy sugar, butter, and chocolate chips in bulk now. it's sad how much butter i go through now that i am part of TWD and DB! i would love for my photos to be as beautiful as Peabody's - my hubby complains about how i spend too much time photographing my food before we get to eat it! :P <BR/><BR/>but i thoroughly enjoy it and plan to be blogging for much much longer...Jaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10194510368311330032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404943731575001815.post-30148054201778682232008-05-30T10:35:00.000-07:002008-05-30T10:35:00.000-07:00I just counted on Saturday and I have about 20 sti...I just counted on Saturday and I have about 20 sticks of butter in the freezer. I buy it whenever it's on sale, and I designate one stick in the fridge to be used by my husband - everything else I put in a ziploc and wriate 'AMY'S BAKING BUTTER.' He thinks I'm nuts. I also buy the jumbo size bag of semi-sweet chips at Costco, and would totally buy those Ghiradelli's if they sold them up here. You're right, it's much more economical to buy tons of the common ingredients when they're on sale.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404943731575001815.post-76805203396929358982008-05-30T10:32:00.000-07:002008-05-30T10:32:00.000-07:00Oh my, I should start thinking about buying chocol...Oh my, I should start thinking about buying chocolate in bulk. I buy little 3.5 oz bars of the good stuff and since I've been blogging and making more desserts, I go through a lot of them! Other than the experience I've gained in the world of desserts, I'm most happy that I now own a 9" tart pan (that I got after joining TWD). As for other bulk items, though, I have always kept at least five pounds of butter in my fridge, and I buy bread, whole wheat and rye flour in 50 pound sacks and keep them in a hollowed out shelf in my bedroom. I might have to start buying ap flour this way too now that I think about it... I like my baking, you know? :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404943731575001815.post-24654609775838490072008-05-30T07:12:00.000-07:002008-05-30T07:12:00.000-07:00HAHA!

EEP! Its crazy but after I got married, I got bit by the nesting bug and I wanted to learn to cook and bake more. I love Tuesdays! Its quickly become my favorite day. Its not just about the baking, blogging but I've truly met some amazing people (Anne Strawberry included!) and the camaraderie is my favorite part. I knew I was a goner when I reached for the 10lb sugar bag at Costco and didn't blink an eye! Hey, my husband aint complainin' so its all good! :)<BR/>/ClaraCBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01182762749488326755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404943731575001815.post-3890390611483866252008-05-30T06:36:00.000-07:002008-05-30T06:36:00.000-07:00I just had a similar experience.

I think that's the biggest change.;)Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03715368249442137713noreply@blogger.com
