Will has baked two loaves of bread over the past few days using the Zo for making the dough. The best part about the machine is making dough while you attend to other things. He made a loaf of pan de mie subbing in 120 grams(1 cup) of white whole wheat and then he made a loaf from the No Knead Cheese Burger Buns recipe from KAF subbing in 100 grams of sourdough starter. Both were excellent.
My visit to the doctor went well yesterday. I'm starting to use my left hand but the wrist needs some time to bend - he's having me push the palm and the back of the hand several times a day to get the motion going. At PT, they can still only work on my fingers until I go back in 3 weeks. In a couple of days, I think Will and I are going to try to cook or back something together since I can't lift too much - but at least I'm attempting to do things with my left hand to get the strength back.
We may not have all the snow you all have, but as Joan knows we’ve had rainy, chilly weather for a couple of days after a teaser of 2 warm sunny days. Somehow today it feels like forever.
Will made Ina’s tomato soup with grilled cheese last night. Tonight he made chicken salad sandwiches to go with it with some fresh greens from the garden.
I finally go back to the doctor on Monday!
I had my first shot yesterday (Pfizer), not much reaction - mostly tired and a sore arm today. Next shot in 3 weeks
Last night Will made pizza with sourdough pizza dough he made from recipe he found on Alexandracooks.com. the dough was excellent. he made 4 small ones - plain cheese; veggie with sautéed red peppers & mushrooms, black olives and sun-dried tomatoes; BBQ chicken with onions and the leftover bourbon pineapple from the pineapple upside down cake and last but not least, broccoli chicken. he made a mix of shredded cheese that included Dubliner and Colby jack. They were delicious and we have plenty for dinner tonight.
Thanks, Kimbob - Similar price as Beanilla $55.95 with free shipping. The shame is they go straight from 16 oz to half a gallon with no quart option. the half gallon takes the price down to around $37/pint, but I sure don't need that much!
I know that I can be a snob about vanilla nowadays. But when I was a kid we always had McCormick's real vanilla in the house - it's probably a blend, but it's less than $18 for 8 oz at Sam's. So next time I think I'll get some just to have on hand.
And, if I ever go into a store again, I can start looking at Home Goods and TJMaxx or Tuesday Morning, if it stays open. There are still too many places around here that don't require masks including the local pharmacy! In the spring, not only did they require masks but they also took your temperature. At least they still have plexiglass shields at the registers.
Your muffins sound yummy,BA. I hope you stay toasty warm in your house.
Will made sourdough pancakes on the baking steel on the grill. it was a little cooler this morning so they took a little longer. Since we have an original (flat) steel, the grill was a good idea since our stove top can get too messy. It's also an old glass flat cooktop and has hot spots, so the cooking is more even on the grill - we may even try it there for the English muffins and then I wouldn't have to buy their mini griddle with the channel for collecting oil.
Me, too. I love it when authors give you alternative ingredients and recommend you make substitutions.
Those look yummy - I’d probably throw it all in the bread machine.
Chocomouse - meatloaf sandwiches are one of my favorites!
Last night Will made one of our favorites - 30 Minute Butter Chicken Meatballs from Half Baked Harvest - comfort food curry dinner. We use Penzey's garam masala and half each their hot curry powder and sweet curry powder - if it weren't for me, he'd probably use all hot! he also adds spinach to it. We serve it over Alton Brown's baked brown rice - the easiest and best brown rice recipe we've found. We have enough for leftovers the next nights - it gets better the next day.
I don't know who's going to be happier when I can start cooking again
Now, Nathaniel down in New Zealand is baking! yesterday I sent him a KABC link to the pretzels and beer cheese - he and I had not had success making one we liked - this one had the addition of cream cheese. so he asked if pretzel bites were easy to make - I said yes, but he needed to read through the recipe first and get all his ingredients measured and ready, then it would be easy (he and I both have the habit of starting recipes before everything is ready). he used his girlfriend's kitchen aid and it all came out well
Georgia is 65 and over for first round along with all healthcare, long term care facilities, law enforcement and fire. One health center vaccinated some teachers in another county and since they didn’t follow regulations the state took away their ability for a few months. At least there are other sites in that county, but still - what a stupid way to “punish”;the health center. I think teachers should have been in the first round.
Through a serendipitous email exchange with a friend, I now have my first scheduled for February 9th. Very thankful.
That's exciting, Mike!
