As readers of this blog will know, ever since I decided to say goodbye to sugar and most carbs, I've acquired a compulsive baking habit. I bake and bake and bake, and mostly give it away, although I've also started freezing things so that I can stand in front of my freezer, choc-a-bloc full of Ziplocs stuffed with sugary goodies, and feel a sense of fulfillment. In an effort to gain control over this new addiction, I've limited my baking to SUNDAYS ONLY, so that I can take nummies in to work on Mondays and cheer up co-workers who are probably as dismayed as me to find themselves back in the office again. This has led to a new fantasy: the Blue Mondays Baking Company...my Monday baking offering to co-workers causes such a stir that I leave the practice to start a little baking business, which balloons quickly to stores on Main Street, in the West End, and two locations in Kitsilano, which leads to being bought out by Cob's Breads and retiring at 30. Hey. It could happen. So anyways, I'll be posting show-offy pics of my latest creations here...you can email me if you want the recipes.

Harvest Herb Bread-a nutty, raisin-y foccacia like bread. No yeast, so it's very dense, but would be great with soup!

Mmmm. Full of fresh sprigs of rosemary, oregano, basil and tarragon.

This may be Blue Mondays' best cookie yet: chewy gingerbread with dark chocolate chunks.

What an aesthetically pleasing cookie. I hope that they are also, you know, pleasing in the culinary sense.
