I made a stir fry with rice. Green beans, celery, carrots, sliced brussels sprouts and green peppers. I forgot the onion but it was still good.

On Monday I roasted a few pork loin chops. Yesterday I used one of them to make quesadilla tacos (a quesadilla folded over then stuffed with sliced pork and chopped lettuce), a baked potato and green beans.

Not sure yet what I'll have tonight.

Hi Skeptic,
Pasteurized milk doesn't need to be scalded but if you want to scald it, I'm sure it won't do any harm. I use milk in bread making and I never scald it, never had any issues with it.
I agree that the kneading time seems long, I'd be inclined to knead for 8 minutes, which is what I do for most of my yeasted doughs.

Happy Birthday, Joan!

I made white bread from Peter Reinhart's The Bread Baker's Apprentice, pages 268 - 280, variation 2. The recipe is for 2 one pound loaves but I only wanted one so I cut the recipe in half. Since the 2 loaf recipe calls for one egg, I decided to separate it and used the yolk in the recipe while saving the white for tomorrow's breakfast. I used honey instead of granulated sugar and olive oil in place of butter. Bake time is 35 to 45 minutes and should temp at about 190f. I thought the crust was browning too fast so at about the 15 minute mark I put a loose sheet of foil on top. I removed it from the oven at 35 minutes and it registered 205f. I'll check it at 30 minutes if I make it again.

I sampled it after it cooled off. It tastes good and has good structure. I'll make this again if I want white bread.

Wishing Diane a speedy and full recovery.

Yesterday I made pizza, which means I also had pizza for breakfast (have enough left for tomorrow's breakfast too).

Tonight I had some rotisserie chicken I took from the freezer, had it with some pasta and green beans and carrots.

I had soup and a sandwich.

Yesterday I roasted 2 bone in chicken breasts, had one with some pasta and broccoli.

Tonight I'm going to make a stir fry with the leftover chicken and celery, carrots, broccoli and green pepper. Will have it with rice.

Chocomouse, you have me hungry for cinnamon buns!

BA, that heart shaped cake is cute! I'm sure it tastes as good as it looks.
