A photo homage to baking...

I find the humble objects used in homemaking to be quite beautiful,

a stoneware mixing bowl, an old wooden spoon, my mama's old tin measuring cups.

Long ago, on a trip back east to see her family, mama brought home this baking powder.

It was a brand we didn't have here in Oregon.

A family member there must have made her some "better biscuits".

I have kept the empty tin for years and years.

Like mama, when I'm traveling I'm prone to bring something home from the grocery store

 that we don't have here.

I had fun photographing this still life of a faux baking session.

As you can see, in some of the photos I used a white background, 

and in some I let the window and outdoors be the background.

For your own real life baking session,

and here's a recipe for her Oatmeal Cake.
