It doesn’t look sunny, but it was early. It was clearly going to become sunny and it was warm AND it was my first morning coffee on the front porch. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The next morning we woke to a dusting of snow. I juiced the last of this year’s Meyer Lemons, fed my sourdough starter and enjoyed a snow squally morning.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m not sure the chairs enjoyed the snow…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

… and the morning coffee routine was much cooler!<\/p>\n

The remainder of the week went back and forth between sun and snow … sometimes multiple times during the day!<\/p>\n

Today, Sunday, we woke to snow and it has snowed, rained, snowed and now is doing a bit of a wintry mix as I write.<\/p>\n

A fragrant brown butter cardamom banana bread <\/font><\/a> (baked as mini-loaves) from Andrea Bemis\u2019 blog: Dishing up the dirt <\/font><\/a> warmed up the morning. (The three loaves with the dried cherries on top have some crystallized ginger bits as a trial addition. Ok but did not add enough to use them again. The recipe as written is wonderful.)<\/p>\n

Andrea\u2019s book, also ‘Dishing up the Dirt’<\/font><\/a> has become a favorite. I’m not a cookbook buyer usually, but the photos and the memoir aspect enticed me to buy this one. I have no regrets. It is a beautiful book with wonderful recipes and I liked it so much that I bought the Kindle version as well so I always have the recipes with me to refer to. <\/p>\n

Almost two weeks ago, I saw Mel\u2019s Kitchen Cafe <\/font><\/a> recipe for asiago bubble bread <\/font><\/a>. Mel’s recipe is based on her own french bread roll recipe <\/font><\/a>. I’ve made those rolls and they are very good, but I looked at the King Arthur flour recipe <\/font><\/a> that Mel said inspired her adaptation and decided to make the King Arthur version adapted to use my wild yeast (sourdough) starter and some discard starter.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It worked very well!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Both the rolls and the buns are soft with asiago cheese in them and a crunchy asiago herb top.<\/p>\n
