I have had a busy Friday in the kitchen. In the morning, I baked the Asparagus, Scallion, and Goat Cheese quiche recipe that I adapted last year from one in Cooks' Country. That made for a late lunch, as I had to wait for it to cool. I enjoy asparagus season!
In the late afternoon, as I was preparing dinner, I started the dough for three loaves of my Whole Wheat Oat Bran Bread, so it will be after 9:30 p.m. before the loaves are baked.
Yummy looking pizza, Len!
Friday night's dinner was roasted chicken thighs, roasted sweet potato chunks, and microwaved broccoli.
Dinner on Thursday was Crispy Oven Fish and Chips with Dill Tartar Sauce, with a salad on the side.
I'll keep those in mind, Mike. We decided that we would move some dog poop to the entrance to the burrow. Maybe we can encourage the chipmunk to vacate.
I made yogurt on Wednesday.
Thanks, Chocomouse and Mike. The chipmunk would wait for the seed to germinate and begin coming up, and then it would devour it. My husband has fashioned cages out of half-inch hardware cloth. We will see if that deters the little varmints. We cannot let the dog into the garden area, as she would step on the plants and dig, but perhaps she could patrol the perimeter.
That's a great garden, Mike.
We have a chipmunk that has taken up residence in our small garden--burrow and all. It has eaten three of the squash seed my husband planted. He is now at work on how to protect the rest and replant.
I'm so sorry about the rain damage, Chocomouse. Some therapeutic weeding is definitely needed.
My husband planted some heirloom irises three years ago. Three of the four kinds have bloomed before and are doing so this year. The fourth, Indian Chief, is blooming for the first time this year, and it is exquisite. As these are the tall irises, my husband has had to put some supports in to keep them from falling over.
We had leftover sourdough pan pizza.
Your recipe is great, Len, and you have the burger buns to prove it!
Mike--I have used dried cranberries, but my husband is not fond of them. He will eat them to get the cookie, but he would rather I use raisins or cherries. I might try dates, one of these days. I have some dried fruit, but I think that he would be less happy with that than the cranberries.
What the peanut butter cookie recipe is for most of the people here at Nebraska Kitchen is what the Soft Oatmeal Raisin Cookie recipe from Jenny Can Cook is for me.
On Monday, I baked my adaptation of this recipe, but I used dried cherries in place of the raisins. That makes the cookies slightly less sweet but still delicious. I will do that substitution again when we want a change.
I also baked my Whole Wheat Sourdough Cheese Crackers from the dough I made last week.
Leftover lima beans with ham and rice will be our Sunday night dinner.
The roast looks delicious, Len.
Len--if you have some bread flour, use that instead of the AP, and you can probably keep the whole wheat flour. I use the Bob's Red Mill Artisan Bread flour, and it lets me use a higher percentage of wholegrain flours than I otherwise would to get an acceptable rise. I have done a more than 2/3 replacement with it. I do not know if the KABC bread flour would perform in the same way. I think that the BRM has an additive that improves the rise.
I'm so glad the new stove top is working well for you, Joan. It's amazing how a simple task can become enjoyable with the right tool!
I make sourdough pan pizza once a month. Saturday dinner was my sourdough pizza with the usual toppings of sauce (made from cooked down can of Muir organic fire-roasted tomatoes and some garlic), Canadian bacon, lower-fat mozzarella diced, red bell pepper, sliced mushrooms, and green onion tops from the pot my husband grows. I grate Parmesan on top. To go with the pizza, my husband made a simple salad of mixed greens, spinach, cherry tomatoes, and carrots with Penzey's French Vinaigrette.
