I always make my pizza dough in my 14 cup Cuisinart, and I've made bread doughs of 3 - 3.5 cups of flour in it; it should work fine. I worry because my Cuisinart is over 32 years old, and I'm not sure how much longer it will hold up.
We had venison burgers, baked potato, beets, and green salad.
Tonight I cooked breakfast sausages and blueberry pancakes. I used Buckwheat flour for the pancakes, first time, although I've used it in breads. I'm not entirely happy with the results -- the pancakes were a bit "gritty" and seemed to fall apart. They didn't really crumble, but broke into chunks. Have any of you made buckwheat pancakes, and do you have any suggestions or comments for me?
We've been eating mostly leftovers and soups from the freezer, but tonight we had a delicious thin-crust pizza with the works.
We had tomato soup made from tomatoes in the freezer from our garden, and egg salad sandwiches on whole grain bread made with KAF's Super 10 flour.
Tonight we had baked chicken thighs and potatoes, carrots, and green salad. Last night we had taco salads.
We've been downgraded too, now it's only 2 feet predicted. We have a generator ready to hook up. And my son, who lives about 15 minutes away, just got his Tesla batteries hooked up to his solar panels and house today - so he is ready for a power loss. We can always go there to get warm or take showers. The food in the freezer will be fine if we move it to the porch; it's screened in so the wolves and coyotes are not likely to get at it. Past experience has shown that with all the hype, we'll probably get just a couple of inches!
We had salmon and potatoes roasted on the grill, green beans, and green salad. Had to use the grill before we get the 3 feet of snow predicted for Saturday into Sunday. I hope any of you who are in the storm pathway stay safe inside and enjoy good food and drink!
Baker Aunt, I just found a recipe on the KAF site and immediately thought of you! It's the Buckwheat and Mushroom Stromboli. I'm out of buckwheat flour right now, so have not made it yet, but will stop at KAF next Monday to get more. Of course, I think the dough could be made into any kind of rolls or bread, and any of your preferred veggies, meats, cheeses could be used for the filling. I can almost taste it now, with a bowl of the mushroom soup I made yesterday! I also think it would travel well, in a cooler, on your trip!
We have a major building project going on here (a new sugarhouse) and I am trying to keep the construction crew warm and happy. I've made chili, bean soup, and today am making baked beans. I also made buns and Special K peanut butter bars. And, I made mushroom soup, for myself.
Last night we had the split pea soup, loaded with ham and vegetables, and maple-cinnamon bread. This morning it is -15* although the sky is a cloudless bright blue.
Dinner last night was scrambled eggs and English muffin for me, and grilled cheese sandwich for my husband. I'm making split pea soup from our Christmas hambone for dinner tonight.
I made turkey soup, using broth and veggies from the freezer, plus orzo. It hit the spot on a cold, windy night with off and on blowing snow.
Joan, my son is also 45, and still my boy, always will be. He lives about 15 minutes away, but with three teen-age daughters, he's busy and I don't see him very often.
This past week I have made bread using a new (at least to me) Whole Grain Flour Blend from KAF: white whole wheat, barley, pumpernickel, sorghum, oat, millet, amaranth, teff, and quinoa flours. It made wonderful bread. I also used the Super 10 Blend for more bread: spelt, millet, barley, teff, buckwheat, amaranth, sorghum rye, quinoa, chia seeds. Again, excellent bread. And, a loaf with my oldest favorite, Harvest Grains Blend:whole oat berries, millet, rye, wheat flours, and flax, poppy, sesame, and sunflower seeds. Another superb bread. I cannot find the Super 10 or Whole Grain blend on their website. I also do not see the Ancient Grains, another great blend I have used, on the website. I suspect they have renamed some of the flours, just as they have renamed other products, or possibly made a few minor changes to the ingredients. I used to mix up my own blends, using a variety of flours and seeds, But I've now decided to finish off my assorted jars of ingredients in the pantry and just buy whatever they are selling at the moment.
It sounds to me like your son was really pampered, and I'm sure he enjoyed it. Does he visit you often?
