I had one of the stuffed peppers I made yesterday. I made some sauce with 3 of my tomatoes and some fresh basil and oregano. I've been thinking about pizza lately, I haven't made one in while, so I made up some pizza dough for the next several days. Made it with equal amounts of bread flour, white whole wheat, rye and semolina.

I usually buy rye from KAF, the one they label Pumpernickel. I am under the impression that one is 100% whole grain and I use it for anything that I want rye flour for. A little while back I ran out and didn't feel like putting together an order from KAF and found Hodgson Mill rye on Amazon. As far as I can tell, it's pretty much the same as KAF's.

I ran out of leftovers so I pulled out a tray of stuffed peppers (red bell and jalapenos) from the freezer. I timed it right so I could bake those while the oven was preheating for my buns. When the buns came out, the peppers were also done. Had a salad with it which included one of my homegrown tomatoes. That tomato was good!

I made my weekly batch of Rye/semolin/wheat buns.

I had no idea but I guessed correctly.

I think the biggest problem with measuring flour is you don't how it was measured in the recipe you are following. One of the things I like about KAF recipes is you can sort it for weight measurements.

I had a late lunch so for dinner, I just a salad with some sliced up left over pork in it.

Many years ago, I went to an Arby's for a late night snack, the bill some some dollars and change, not wanting more change I gave the counter dude (who looked a little high) a 5 dollar bill and coins for the change, he looked bewildered for a moment, handed me back the loose coins I had given him, then made change for the $5. All he had to do was punch into the register the money I gave him and it would have told him how much to give back to me, but even that was beyond him.

I made a boneless pork roast on the bbq, had it with a little spaghetti and salad.

There was a place that offered a chocolate chip cookie ice cream cone. I had to have that, it's perfect, ice cream and a chocolate chip cookie cone! Unfortunately, it just wasn't that good but I love the concept.

I removed it from the fridge this morning, let it come close to room temperature and whipped it so I could use it a spreadable frosting. It was perfect in texture and it tastes great. While it isn't the white frosting I was shooting for, I'm pleased with it.

I watched some youtube videos last night and found out what was wrong. With regular chocolate you would use a 2 to 1 ratio (by weight, 2 parts chocolate to one part cream or milk) white chocolate requires a 3 to 1 ratio. Of course, if you are making a dipping sauce, you can use a 1 to 1 ratio for dark or milk chocolate, not sure what it would be for white. I also learned that milk can be used instead of cream but the appearance won't be as shiny. You can also use just about any liquid, such as coffee. I think I've learned a lot about it now. I think next time I'll try some fresh brewed decaf and see how that works out.

In that item there are links for 9 other storage items by that company, berry, bread, deli etc. If you roll your mouse over those links you will see the other items. In cases like this Amazon will lump all the reviews together but if you look beneath the date of the review, it will say which item that review is for. If you click "see all reviews" there are some filters and you can choose to see only reviews for that item, which is the Micro Deli keeper. I clicked on it and found only one lonely review for it out over over 600 reviews for all the items. But it did receive 5 stars.

To get the free bagel topping, you have to use the KAF email. I did put together an order and the while it showed I was getting free shipping, the bagel topping didn't show. So I opened the KAF email, clicked in it and went back to my cart, then the bagel topping was shown.

I have a KA "Professional 5 plus" model, it's a 5 quart and has the spiral kneading hook. That's one of the reasons why I bought it. I had a KA "Heavy Duty" before that has the old C hook. When I bought it, it was a close out model and I got it at a nice price. I still have it, wrapped in plastic sitting on a basement shelve. I bought the other one because I wanted a blue one, my older one is white, and as I said above, I wanted the spiral hook.

Today I made a chocolate cake from my regular recipe. While the recipe calls for a cup and a quarter of oil, I used only 5 ounces (by volume) and a 5.3 ounce container of Greek yogurt. I won't slice into it until tomorrow but it baked up nicely. I was planning to use a white chocolate ganache as a frosting. I followed a recipe from KAF that calls for bittersweet chocolate (which I have made before, it's in their chocolate fudge birthday cake recipe) but apparently white chocolate is not a one for one substitute in ganache. It came out pretty thin so I put it in the fridge and when it reached 45 degrees it was still far too thin to use as a frosting. So I added a half cup of bittersweet chocolate chips and nuked it to melt it. It has thickened up and tastes pretty good. I put it back in the fridge but if it doesn't look suitable to use as a frosting tomorrow I will not invest any more chocolate in it, I'll use it as a sauce for ice cream, maybe pancakes etc. and frost the cake with coconut pecan frosting from a can.

Amazon. It was $17.14 plus tax.

What is the problem with the white streaks in the giant chicken breasts?

Tonight I had leftover spaghetti sauce with some pasta and a garlic bun (the last bun from last weeks) and a nice salad. I used the last of my store bought tomatoes, the next one will be one of mine 🙂
