We had hot dogs on the buns I baked today.
I've got about 6 pounds of tomatoes (mostly small ones) so I think I'm going to try to make a batch of tomato relish with them later today.
Making another batch of banh mi rolls today, 8 in a hot dog pan, 4 in a baguette pan.
There were some shaping issues, but with how well it rose it is very light, sometimes this recipe comes out a bit on the dense site.
Back home after a week in Wisconsin for the annual US Chess business meetings.
Made honey wheat bread today. Rose very well. (7 1/2" long, 3 1/2" wide, 5" high)
Montreal Bagels and Montreal Smoked Meat are two food experiences worth traveling to Quebec for!
I can't say that for poutine, I guess its an acquired taste.
Got around to labeling all the tomato cages finally, using some plastic tags with wire fasteners that I got on Amazon.
I'm making a batch of oatmeal crisps using M&M's tonight.
I haven't figured out why when I make these cookies with M&M's they come out flatter than when I make them with chocolate chips.
We had hot dogs for lunch on the Banh Mi from yesterday. They did soften up a bunch overnight, as expected, but the YouTube video says 5 minutes in the oven will make them nice and crisp again. Didn't do that for lunch, but probably will next time, Diane liked the crunchy exterior and so did I.
Be sure you get one that is garage-ready, sometimes if it is too cool in the winter they don't regulate their temperature well.
I made burger and hot dog buns from the Banh Mi dough (see baking thread), and then made a batch of Sloppy Joes for supper. (Found a garlic-free sauce powder which got added to some sauteed onions and red peppers, plus some tomato sauce.)
We bought a little countertop icemaker because our big icemaker isn't working again. It might be fixable or it might be time to think about a new one, but the little one will get us through the next few weeks.
We also had our two-year defrost timer failure on our SubZero freezer. :sigh: They're seeing if a different maker's plug-compatible defrost timer might be more reliable, should be installed on Monday.
Made another batch of the Banh Mi dough, divided into 12 pieces (about 64 grams each raw, 55 or so grams baked)
I made 4 as burger buns (sesame seeded)
And 8 as hot dog buns (poppy seeded, of course)
