It’s New Year’s Eve, and while I’m chilling out before going to dinner much later than usual at a local favorite place, I’m going to get a head start on one of my 2025 goals– to get my digital world more under control. Mostly that means that I need to organize my photos (and delete thousands of them!), both on my computer and my phone, but I also don’t want anymore to sit on things I’ve cooked or baked long ago but never posted. Take this Buttermilk-Molasses Quick Bread that was a group post back in September…I actually made and photographed it in December 2021, so it should have been no biggie to write the post this past fall, but here I am.

This quick bread has Scandinavian-style rye vibes, but it doesn’t take hours to rise. In addition to the buttermilk and molasses, the dough contains rye and whole wheat and is spiced with fennel, anise and caraway. I like these pungent flavors and the finished loaf was great both as a breakfast bread swiped with salty butter and as the base for smørrebrød topped with whatever you fancy. Happy new year!

If you don’t have the book Baking with Dorie: Sweet, Salty & Simple by Dorie Greenspan, get it and join us as we bake through it every second and fourth Tuesdays! Don’t forget to check out the rest of the TWD Blogroll and all the other participation deets over on Tuesdays with Dorie!

That is a great but daunting goal for 2025! I feel like I am always chasing that feeling of being caught up with my digital pictures being put into albums and then deleted from my phone. Hopefully we both get there this year haha! Happy New Year!!
