Way cool.<BR/><BR/>Also, I can't believe you lived in A.V.! Funny enough, I used to live in Tempe as I went to ASU for a year. Living in Arizona made me realize everything I LOVE about Minnesota. Apple Valley has grown so much over the last few years, it's crazy. Ryan and I joke about how much time it takes just to get "out" of Apple Valley with all the traffic.<BR/><BR/>Have a great weekend!<BR/><BR/>-CrystalCrystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116685291056531223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-1157718595481523032006-09-08T08:29:00.000-04:002006-09-08T08:29:00.000-04:00Good afternoon JoeAs you say, a bannock is an oakc...Good afternoon Joe<BR/><BR/>As you say, a bannock is an oakcake. They are usually rolled quite thinly as there is a lot of eating in them and they can either be shaped in circles or triangles. These were made to be used instead of bread. <BR/>However, there is another bannock called a Selkirk Bannock (named after the town of Selkirk, which is like a fruit cake and very nice. I attach a link showing the recipe. It is the same shape as the one that you made! http://www.rampantscotland.com/recipes/blrecipe_selkirk.htm<BR/><BR/>Hope everything is going well for you and Jeff.<BR/><BR/>Regards Anne (from Sunny Edinburgh!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-1157697498436486512006-09-08T02:38:00.000-04:002006-09-08T02:38:00.000-04:00Joe - You have beautiful bannocks.

Just waiting for the weather to cool down a bit for the soup, but the bannock I have on the menu for tomorrow!<BR/>Today I made the oat-coatted chicken tenders from the same CL article and really liked it, the oats made a nice coating!<BR/>Can't wait to try these other recipes next!<BR/>AnaAnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02059525939843970727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-1157679011833948612006-09-07T21:30:00.000-04:002006-09-07T21:30:00.000-04:00Man...what is next for zucchini in your house...ic...Man...what is next for zucchini in your house...ice cream?wheresmymindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06773597023205510781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-1157678909808826102006-09-07T21:28:00.000-04:002006-09-07T21:28:00.000-04:00I had bannock once in Saskatchawn.
