I baked two recipes of Scottish Oatcakes on Monday afternoon. I have packed most of these to send to one of my sisters, along with four different jars of jam. She will be having surgery to deal with scar tissue sometime in the next month or so, and I wanted to send her an advance care package.
For dinner on Monday, I made Turkey-Zucchini Loaf with Peach-Dijon Glaze, using the rest of the zucchini that I grated yesterday, as well as some peach jam left over from when I canned a batch. I also made Green Beans, Cherry Tomato, and Feta Salad to go with it.
I'll add a picture tomorrow.
We got 0.7 inches of rain from early Saturday evening into early Sunday morning, but there was a lot of thunder starting at 6 p.m. Saturday, which caused our dog to cower in her bed and not eat her supper. Her nerves were clearly frazzled this morning, even though the thunder had ended, so I decided to make her favorite, Cornmeal and Pumpernickel Waffles, for breakfast. Once we administered some waffle pieces, she was back to her old self again. (Who needs Xanax?)
In the afternoon, I baked Squash, Whole Wheat, and Oat Quick Bread, using my Nordic Ware 4-loaf Bundlette pan, which has the older kind of coating. Even with the grease, I had a bit of sticking, also in part due to the cinnamon chips. (Yes, I am still using them up--expiration year 2017--and they are still good.) I also should have waited a bit longer before trying to remove them from the pan. Ten minutes was not enough. Two of the loaves broke a bit. I also used half whole wheat pastry flour and half King Arthur AP; I might want to go back to using slightly more (1/4 cup) of the AP than the whole wheat pastry flour. We went ahead and cut into one of the damaged ones while it was slightly warm. It crumbled, but oh, did it taste good! I used one of the golden arrow zucchini, which has a milder taste than the green ones.
Like Joan, we went for leftovers: the rest of the salmon patties on a bun, red coleslaw, and microwaved fresh broccoli.
We re-ran the salmon patties on buns with the red coleslaw for dinner on Saturday. We also microwaved some broccoli.
I made yogurt today.
We have some of the purple cherry tomatoes also. The red ones are doing the best, followed by the purple, with the yellow a distant third. Among the regular tomatoes, some of the Early Girls are starting to redden; we've had just one so far. Maybe I'll have my turkey bacon and tomato sandwiches again by the end of the week?
I believe that I have the same pan, Navlys, although I haven't used it for a while.
On Friday, I baked Whole Wheat/Rye/Semolina Buns from Len's recipe. We particularly like these with salmon patties.
Thanks, Len!
For dinner on Friday, I made coleslaw with red cabbage that I bought several weeks ago at the farmers market. It kept well, wrapped tightly in saran, in the refrigerator. I also made Salmon Patties, which was Scott's choice for entrée. We had them on the Whole Wheat/Rye/Semolina buns that I baked today, which go especially well with salmon patties. I added a thin slice of onion to my sandwich and put a bit of the coleslaw on top, which was yummy.

Hi, Skeptic. Glad that you are getting to cook in your own kitchen for a change. I have two thoughts about the whole wheat flour. You might need to add more water to dough, since it will soak up more moisture. As for eating it, any sudden change from low fiber to high fiber can be a shock to the system, so it might have caused some digestive discomfort. Drinking plenty of fluids can help.
Yep, unless the lid pops and pings, use the canned goods and ignore the expiration date.
We finished up the pasta salad and the pecan coated pork chops tonight.
We had leftover vegetable pasta salad and pecan coated pork chops for dinner tonight. We were both eating rather slowly because we had our dental appointments with the hygienists today. We have our appointments at the same time with our usual hygienists, but we both thought that the cleaning was vigorous today, which resulted in some irritation that made it hard to chew.
I'm glad you enjoyed the muffins, Chocomouse!
Thanks to some intense periods of rain yesterday evening, we had cooler weather on Wednesday. We finished the rest of the rolls at lunch, so I needed to bake bread. I decided to continue my experiments with the wholegrain bread recipe I baked the week of July 20 by baking two loaves of it on Wednesday. Previously, I had used 61 g of a leftover mixture of white whole wheat flour and barley, so this time, I replaced it by doubling the malted wheat flakes. It needed about 1/3 cup more whole wheat flour than what I had written down. The two large (9 x 5) loaves are lovely. One will go into the freezer. We will slice the other tomorrow at lunch.
Thanks, Joan!
On Tuesday, I made another jar of refrigerator dill pickles using the neat little cucumbers and the dill my husband is growing in the garden. He is very fond of these pickles, as am I.
For dinner, I made pecan-crusted boneless pork chops again. I have been using a mixture of an egg and ½ Tbs. of Dijon mustard in the coating, but I ventured to add 1 tsp. of smokey paprika, as Scott likes it in coating for chicken, and it does not upset his digestive system. We had it with more of the pasta vegetable salad I made yesterday.
