Tonight the World Series Champion Chicago Cubs have their home opener. So, to make me feel like I'm at the ballgame, I baked hot dog buns to have with a dog or two during the game.
I always use table salt in baking and generally use kosher salt in cooking. I always go easy on salt, though. If a bread recipe calls for a teaspoon and a half I use a teaspoon. High blood pressure runs in my family but I don't have it, I like to think because I go easy on the salt.
I wasn't going to read it until I saw that it has profanity so I rushed right to it. [smiley face, that's a joke]
Interesting article, I enjoyed it.
Mike, I agree, those pictures don't do it justice. The 1950's Corvette that was displayed there doesn't show in those pics.
There was the McD's in Water Tower, appr 800 North, another a couple of blocks south street level on Michigan Av, on the west side of the street and another on Chicago Av just east of State Street. The one that was street level on Michigan Av was decorated more in keeping with the high end decor that one would expect on Michigan Av, it was pretty nice. It's not there anymore. But it was nice having all three of those available back in the day when I was chasing down the Teeny Beanie Babies.
The McDonalds at Water Tower Place was the nicest one I've ever been to. I don't remember table service there though. I do recall double Quarter Pounders and double Big Macs at that location. I think the most unique McDonalds was the Rock and Roll McDonalds on Clark street, about 600 north if I recall right.
I recall McD's pizza too, but never had it. McD's tries new items every now and then in select markets, most of those items never go national. Pizza is kind of an odd choice for McD's, as they like to make their food in production line batches.
Today I baked rye sandwich buns.
Golden Delicious is actually a good pie apple. I think it's best to use 2 different apples though. Not that I always do.
Something new for me. Today I made roasted pork tenderloin with mushrooms. Was very good and have enough left for the next 2 or 3 days.
Those brownies sound delicious CWC, Happy Birthday!
That's quite a pie, kinda pricey though.

Today I put some country style pork ribs in a pot, covered it with 2 large cans of imported tomatoes, some seasoning and stuck it in the oven for 4 hours. Removed the meat and gave the tomatoes a ride in the food processor. I'm calling it pasta sauce, had some for dinner tonight, it is really good. Going to freeze a good portion of it.
I looked on Youtube for it too but couldn't find that particular method. I watched Deli Man last night, I enjoyed it.
I've learned a lot of stuff on Youtube. Last year I was able to fix my refrigerator from watching a Youtube video, it even gave a link to where I could get the parts.
Thank you CWC, it's very good, I'm happy with it.
