BakerAunt, whenever I've seen fresh basil used on a pizza, I've seen them add it after the pie comes out of the oven.
I made a burger which I had on a homemade bun (I've been a bit lazy and haven't made them in 2 or 3 weeks) and a rather large salad.
Today I made burger buns. A mix of whole wheat, bread flour, semolina and rye. Superior to the store bought buns I had last week.
Thank you Joan. For me, tomatoes are one of the highlights of summer.
I'm not a fan of the strudel crusts that I have had, from bakeries nor from restaurants. I take a fork to cut off a piece and the crust is not very yielding causing the filling to come out. I prefer apple pie.
On Friday I made cupcakes using Arrowhead Mills vanilla cake mix. I added a teaspoon of cake spice (from The Spice House). I used a half can vanilla frosting to which I added one drop of yellow food color and a half teaspoon of banana flavor from KAF. It came out real tasty.
My tomato plants have been giving me for several weeks now. They may have peaked but have a ways to go yet. I'm having a hard time keeping up it, I can only throw so many tomatoes at my neighbors. I'm planning on making sauce on Sunday and then freezing it. I've had a couple of BLT's. Here's a sampling of it.
Tonight I made a hamburger on a homemade bun, fresh corn and asparagus and a little left over mashed potato.
After my buns came out of the oven, I made a burger and had it with left over fried potato and fresh asparagus. I'm thinking about a banana split for later.
I haven't baked much of anything in about a month or so. I want a hamburger for dinner so I'm making burger buns right now. They should be oven reading in about 15 minutes.
That is interesting. I'm thinking manufactured meat might be more accepted in areas in the world where animal protein is hard to come by and too expensive for the masses.
Occasionally I buy grass fed ground beef. Really can't say I can taste a difference but it is supposed to be healthier. I think I recall reading that grass fed beef is less likely to contain e coli. The higher e coli found in grain fed beef is because cattle evolved eating grass, and the grains are somewhat detrimental to their digestive system which causes it to produce more e coli (don't really know if that is scientifically proved).
Mike, I can't click your link because when I move my cursor there the box pops up showing who "liked" your post, lol. Even if I approach it from above.
I baked some pork chops tonight.
I cooked a chicken on the BBQ yesterday.
I made a round roast, had it with the last of my pasta salad and fresh asparagus.
Tonight I roasted fresh salmon and had it asparagus and pasta salad. Followed by a bit of watermelon. The melon was only fair.
