and Food Network.com came through. I found 3 recipes I want to keep; a brioche, a cottage pie, and the chicken salad because, well, take a look at it!

I can’t wait to make this cottage pie; I love them, especially with mushrooms instead of beef. But I’ll follow the recipe the first time I make it. I usually make cottage pie for Meal Trains, and just for us, and also like to make one with leftover ham, peas, and sweet potatoes. Meanwhile, this brioche is beautiful. I don’t keep white flour, but will buy some (brioche isn’t brioche when it’s whole wheat.) And the salad! It won’t be too many weeks, and we’ll be wanting cooler foods. Enjoy, everyone.

Also, a question. On Kids Baking Championship, one of the items required is a chocolate-dipped item. One young baker decided to use butterscotch instead of chocolate. They tempered it, they dipped their item, and presented it. When asked about it, since it wasn’t chocolate, they stated that their technique was the same, and the item was dipped; also, that the butterscotch right there among the chocolate in the same area of the pantry.

So. While chocolate is not butterscotch and vice-versa, does this item count as a chocolate-dipped item? Discuss in comments.
