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.
I had some dumplings from Trader Joe's and sautéed the bok choy I bought the other day.
I had the last of my chicken pot pie soup from the freezer with harvest bread toast.
Thanks for this Mike. I sent it to my son in New Zealand who was complaining about the potholes there. Reminds me of the sinkhole in Winter Park, FL when we lived there in the early 80's
My sister in New Jersey got 22" My brother in Massachusetts along the coast got 27-30" on top of the 8-10" they already had. I'm thankful to be down here where it's cold but no snow.
I made sheet pan chicken fajitas tonight. Instead of tortillas, I cooked my last half cup of bulgur which was a nice base. I added Greek yogurt (full fat) and avocado. I have more for tomorrow at least.
Thanks Len. I'm looking forward to trying it the next time I bake - I've actually been eyeing it every time you talk about the buns you make with it.
I did make Mrs. Cindy's Irish Oatmeal bread today - it came out quite well and I will slice it for the freezer tomorrow. I will post pictures tomorrow from my computer. I have a question about the top of the loaf that a picture will explain better than I can.
Actually, BA I have the larger Zo in which you can make 2 loaves of dough - I do it all the time, part of the reason I opted for it. I'm also more apt to make bread, than buns. I planned to acknowledge Len - especially if I actually make it. I was just asking questions about your version.
Today, because it's cold, I'm going to make Mrs Cindy's Irish Oatmeal Bread.
BA - I read the Ankarsrum post - do you think I could make the dough in my Zo? What size pans do you use? Are your measurements for 2 Loaves? Approximate rising/ baking times?
And, I was surprised when we hit 80 today.
I made a twice baked potato and asparagus for dinner - half tonight,half tomorrow.
But my big news is that my shoulder surgery has finally been authorized by my insurance company. My doctor's main hospital is out of network, but I can go to a different hospital in Savannah where he has privileges and actually performs surgery there on a regular basis. It will be on April 2nd, a little more than 2 months from my original surgery date. But I think things work out as they're supposed to.
Joan - your grilled bologna reminded me that one of my best friends growing up loved fried bologna sandwiches - it was one of the few things she would eat.
I made chicken stock today and I was supposed to go out to dinner with a friend, but we had a thunderstorm and she decided to do it later this week - so I came home from church and had pimento cheese (homemade) and pretzels 😂
I always liked Eat Voraciously - I'll have to check out her substack
