Mike, since I started checking the temperature with my Thermo Pop, my quick breads have not been undercooked. I can't remember if it's 190 or 200, but I know it's in a KABC blog post.
In honor of World Chocolate Day, I baked Chocolate Eclipse (pudding cake) - it's the first thing I've baked in my new kitchen and it felt great- I love my kitchen!
Will made a delicious meatloaf on Saturday which we ate for two days and then sandwiches for two more with his sourdough bread - we hadn't had any since February. We had assorted vegetables from the farmer's market including sweet corn which I haven't had since we moved here - I was spoiled by access to really good corn, so I avoid fresh corn at the supermarket.
Tonight, I baked salmon which we had with tomatoes (farmers market), mozzarella, olive oil, balsamic and a mix of fresh oregano and thyme from our garden - we don't have fresh basil which is why I didn't call it a Caprese.
Joan, what a lovely tribute! My deepest sympathies for you, your son and family. This is such a bittersweet time and I send you lots of hugs.
No baking yet, but Will found my long baker so I hope to try the semolina bread that BakerAunt if I can find the recipe. Will pulled the starter out of the fridge -it was last fed on January 15th! But just coming to room temp it's already active - he did pour off some of the liquid and will probably add in some rye flour to kickstart it. When I made the starter 3 years ago, I started it with rye flour.
Happy Father's Day, Mike and to all the other fathers out there.
I got lucky in the "day off lottery" this week - I ended up with a 3 day weekend, getting a coveted Saturday off. So Will and I went to the farmers market on the mainland. We had delicious corn and freshly dug potatoes and cherry tomatoes last night. Tonight we're having leftover potatoes, sautéed zucchini and yellow squash, and I'm going to air fry some eggplant fries. It's nice to have the kitchen done. And just about everything else. We can't wait for them to come do the cleaning ~ we're tired of sweeping and vacuuming construction dust.
Happy Birthday, Cass! I hope someone brought you cheesecake🥳
I baked a nice piece of salmon that I had on a salad.
I'm going to have leftovers of the Peanut noodles I made on Friday. It was a recipe from Simply Recipes as I liked all the chopped veggies in it- red pepper, shredded carrots, mango slices (which is a really nice addition, green onions and cilantro. The recipe also called for romaine and red cabbage, but I bought a package of broccoli/cabbage slaw to use instead. The peanut sauce was disappointing - thin and too sweet - I knew I shouldn't have added all the brown sugar the recipe called for. I have a couple of other peanut sauces that I like better that I would use with these veggies I also used brown rice Pad Thai Noodles from Lotus brand that I use a lot.
Wishing you both strength and peace on this journey, Joan.
We always used dishes of beer to attract the slugs, so bread dough makes sense.
Loved the squirrel video, Mike. I sent it to Will. He bought some cherry tomato plants at the garden center. They are growing well - it will interesting to see if they actually bear fruit.
Thanks Mike. Turns out I don't have to get a new one yet (mine's only 2 years old). My contractor has it at his shop.
Chocomouse got me thinking about broccoli and Alfredo so I made a version for dinner with penne, broccoli and chicken sausage. I tried a different recipe for my sauce - it was OK, but I don't think I'll use it again.
Not sure yet. We are currently deciding based on how few dishes and how little cleanup we can get away with. Will be glad to have the kitchen sink and dishwasher available.
I think I have to buy a new disposal tomorrow as ours has seem to have disappeared. If that's the only thing we are in good shape. We don't need a huge or really powerful one, but would like it to be quiet-er. Any recommendations?
Yum, chocomouse
