A Gift of Rosemary...

I was lucky enough to get a bunch of fresh rosemary, straight from the garden... My neighbor Jennifer L. visited a friend (Shana) who is setting up to open a restaurant/wine bar/cheese store/cafe in Harrisburg, PA, and she was generous enough to send back some rosemary my way.

I decided to make some focaccia with rosemary (both diced/mixed in with the dough, and part of the topping) and some sauteed/carmelized onions. The only problem was (and I am guessing) that the yeast seemed to be inactive, old, or something, as it really didn't rise. Or maybe the recipe I pulled off the web was off. I don't bake a lot, but something was off. It was more rosemary flatbread than rosemary focaccia - maybe still tasty, but pretty dense...


Anyways - thank you Shana, and best of luck!

Didn't you try to bribe me with that?
