Thank you BA, kimbob and Joan for the birthday and well wishes for the surgery. Kimbob, I did not want to get a recliner just for the surgery, and my doctor said I could just pile up pillows at a 45 degree angle in my bed. I found a large wedge pillow at the company store on sale which will be great for my main support. I have one advantage from being really sick with asthma when I was a kid - I've had to sleep upright a lot so it's not as much of an issue as it is for some people.
I do love a cold meatloaf sandwich too with mayo AND ketchup😊
I had some of the tuna and white bean salad I made on Tuesday. I have just enough of my lunch at work tomorrow.
Today is my birthday and I received lots of birthday wishes at work. Will will be here on Tuesday for two weeks to help while I recuperate from my reverse shoulder arthroplasty next Thursday (long hand for shoulder replacement surgery). He's looking forward to being back in my kitchen and he'll make a joint birthday cake as his birthday is April 11th. I won't be cooking for a while
Hey Mike - it's only the 22nd today😊 and the 27th is Friday (the day after my birthday) - I have no idea what I'm making then.
Today, I made Len's Whole Wheat Rye Semolina Breadwith BA's variation of buttermilk and then I subbed maple syrup for the honey and used White Whole wheat. I followed BA's instructions for shaping and proofed it enough. Theyvrose in the oven and look great - will slice tomorrow
Wrong thread.
Belated Happy Birthday, Kimbob🥳
I finally finished making the falafel tonight. Yesterday morning I made the "dough" and got home too late to make them. So this morning, I scooped and put them on the baking sheet and into the fridge. Tonight I baked them and made quick tzatziki and had them over arugula. I like the flavor, but I think the baking time was a little too long as I thought they were dry.
I had planned to make falafel tonight, but I didn't leave work until 6. I wasn't sure what I had and then I remembered that I had bought some deli corned beef (boar's head) and some KerryGold cheddar on sale just because I might want some this week. I made a corned beef and cheddar sandwich with arugula, mayo and Dijon on toasted English muffin toasting bread. It was perfect.
BA & Len - a question - if I used BA's doubled recipe do you think I could bake it in the Emile Henry Long Baker?
I had cheese toast on English muffin bread. I took something out of the freezer, but it hadn't thawed in time. I was busy making curried chicken salad for our church's annual house tour (they serve tea in the parish hall)
Looks lovely (and delicious) Len
I cooked two artichokes tonight that were on sale at Harris Teeter - one for tonight and one for tomorrow. They are nice and tender. I made Cheater's Aioli from Cookie & Kate that I had saved a while back - I didn't use as much garlic as she said, but it had just a nice flavor, not overwhelming
Isn't Fast rise different from instant yeast?
Happy Birthday Joan!
Yesterday, I made a kale pasta Caesar salad from NYT. I added baked chicken tenders. For all the great reviews, I was disappointed. I halved the amount of pasta and it came out dry. And I thought the dressing didn't have much flavor except for garlic - I have better creamy ones that I've collected over the years. I actually bought a bottle of oil based Caesar dressing that I like to add some moisture to it - it helped.
