Let’s Get Baking!

It’s the beginning of spring! On this second day of the season, it seems more like a winter day. The wind is blowing, the trees are swaying, and there is more than just a small chill in the air. Thinking about the weather, and how I wish it were warmer, it strikes me that there is a wonderful way to warm up—baking! I don’t even need to have my own baking pans, because here at the Lambertville Library there are many baking pans available to borrow. I could borrow the loaf pan to make a nice pumpkin chocolate chip loaf, or I could borrow the cake pan that looks kind of like a star. I think that pan would be perfect for a spicy gingerbread cake. There is a pan I could borrow to make Easter egg cakelets, just in time for Easter! There is also an Easter-themed cookie cutter set that I can use to make tic tac toe sugar cookies. St. Patrick’s Day has just passed, but there is nothing to stop me from borrowing the shamrock pan to make a lemon snack cake with a lime frosting. And if I can’t find the perfect recipe on my own, I can borrow a baking book from the huge selection of cookbooks! Spring, you might be starting off with a chill, but I don’t have to freeze. Baking will warm up my kitchen, and the anticipation of delicious cakes will keep me warm!

Cheers!

Here at the library, we try to provide a broad base of cookbooks, from classics, to regional, and sometimes the downright unusual. But sometimes a cookbook comes along that is a real standout. And we have a new one, just in. Christopher Kimball’s “Cook What you Have.” See you in the stacks /Annie

Something to Talk About

Take a Cake Break!

See you in the stacks!

Drag Queen Story Hour

When I was little, I loved story time, and it didn’t matter whether it was at our library, or at school, or at a special event, or even just at home, a home-grown story hour, if you will. The child in me was absolutely blown away when I saw my first Drag Queen Story Hour.
