Go for it, Aaron! Good article. Like I said before, I did that yrs ago (it was fun) but don't like sourdough.
Made the white wheat flour smaller pullman loaf. Weighed everything and it was right on the money. Filled the whole pan nicely. Happy dance.
Thanks for posting that article, italiancook. Very interesting and I enjoyed reading it.
FedEx delivered my white wheat so I'm going to make a loaf in my pain de mie tomorrow. I have to break down the bag into smaller quantities to put in the freezer. Says it was packaged on 3-30-2020. Yay!
Beef stroganoff last night. Some kind of chicken thighs tonight. Maybe honey bbq.
Hey, thanks, Joan! I'm going to try this recipe next time. I never use an egg -- interesting. I've used vinegar in the past and I usually use all crisco. I make my crust with flour, butter, crisco, a pinch of salt, and ice water. What I like about using all crisco is that you can roll it out right away. Plus it's very flaky. The crust is my favorite part of the pie.
Boneless leg of lamb studded with garlic and rosemary on top plus a little olive oil. Mom will have mint jelly and we're having bearnaise sauce (I have tarragon growing out back). Roasted potatoes and homemade garlic croutons on salad. Wine!!
Omg, Joan! I just took an apple pie out of the oven, too! We're on the same wavelength. Lol
Italiancook, just go to bakersauthority.com and at the bottom of their website you can put in your email to get their newsletter and coupons when they have them. That's how I got the email with the 5% off. This is my first time ordering from them. My niece-in-law told me about them. She ordered ap flour and split the 50 lbs with her mother.
Yes, I have a standing freezer that stores my flour. Plus the fridge and freezer plus a smaller fridge. Plenty of room. 😊
Chocomouse, that's the best kind of meal!
Made macaroni salad. Hamburgers with tomato and raw onions and hotdogs on the grill.
Early to pick but the farmer has apple orchards and a huge cold storage bldg. The apples taste just as good as in September/October.
Our town farmer's market opened today. Not many vendors but the bread guys were there and I bought a loaf of roasted garlic bread (big cloves of roasted garlic in it) and olive roasted red pepper ciabatta. Heaven! Was hoping to get some honey, syrup and apples but those 2 vendors weren't there. Other vendors were wood craft, solar energy, cookies, jellies and plants. Didn't want any of that. I'll go next Saturday again and hopefully they'll be there.
Had a taste for peanut butter so made pb choc chip cookies. Used this recipe. https://www.food.com/recipe/peanut-butter-chocolate-chip-cookies-51104
I made half the recipe using chunky peanut butter. Yielded 25 cookies with #40 scoop. Quick, easy and delish!
