It was real light here. I sat with a neighbor in his front yard, he had buckets set out with candy so the little ghosts and goblins could help themselves. Several other neighbors came by and some beverages were consumed.

I'm making a batch of my sandwich buns today.

I had chicken meatballs with bow tie pasta.

My experience with putting rolls like Kaiser rolls face down on parchment for proofing suggests that you need to lightly oil the parchment, or the dough will stick.

When I make Kaiser rolls with a stamp, I put the rolls face down on lightly dusted with flour parchment. That has always worked for me.

I roasted a pork chop and an acorn squash. Rounded it out with Brussels sprouts.

Thanks all.
Isn't cauliflower rice simply shredded cauliflower and will taste like cauliflower? Cauliflower is somewhat mild in taste, so a gravy or a sauce over it will change up the taste some.
Last night I made another pizza, the last one from this batch of dough. Had the leftovers cold for breakfast. That was good!

On Sunday I made pizza dough for two meals in my food processor. I have a 7 cup KA and making dough for 2 pizzas is about the limit. So I made a pizza with my home grown sweet peppers, thin sliced red onion, a little pepperoni and some thin sliced leftover steak. Came out pretty good. I took a pic of it with a Christmas beer for the beer site that I'm on, so I'll post it here too. As of Sunday, there were exactly 2 months to Christmas.

I threw a couple of NY strip steaks on the grill and had it with bow-tie pasta, cauliflower, broccoli and carrots.

I had my brother over yesterday and he thought the apple cider cake was very good, once he learned the recipe calls for olive oil he wanted the recipe.

[RiversideLen]

The cake is good. It's an oil cake which I like. It's a little dense and moist. I just went to youtube and found the episode in which she made it and her cake looked a lot like mine so it turned out the way it was supposed to. It's a little light on apple flavor but I think that's pretty much the norm for apple cakes. My icing is good but a little sweet and has some apple flavor. Chocomouse, a caramel topping sounds great! The recipe calls for 2 cups of AP and one cup of whole wheat, apple sauce and apple cider and olive oil. I used a combination of grapeseed and walnut oils because I have some grapeseed oil that is approaching it's best buy date. I might make this again.

I made Apple Cider Doughnut Cake from the Martha Stewart site. The recipe calls for coating the finished cake with cinnamon sugar I decided to make a frosting. I boiled down about 9 ounces of apple cider to 2 ounces to use in the frosting. I added a couple drop of red food color to mimic a red apple, it came out kinda pink and I didn't want to use more.

I made a small pork roast, had it with brown/wild rice blend, cauliflower and carrot. For dessert I had 1/2 of the mini blueberry pie. It came out pretty good even though the crust is on the thin side.

[RiversideLen]

I'm making a chicken burger, mashed potato and cauliflower and carrots.

[RiversideLen]

Thanks Joan, and BA. The problem with making a mini pie is I have full size fingers.

[RiversideLen]

I had a hamburger, mashed potato and cauliflower and carrots. I had the veggie pot on the stove, covered, steaming away while I was preparing the burger and thought to myself everything is going to come together at exactly the same time and then I looked over to the counter by the sink and saw I had forgot to put the veggies in the pot........

On Sunday I made a batch of my sandwich buns. I had a little pie dough left over from the other day (92 grams) so I decided to make a mini blueberry pie. I had to roll it out real thin to cover the pan, I barely made it. I just guessed as to how much sugar and flour to use in it. I baked it at 375 for 45 minutes, it looks like it baked up ok.
I still have some apple/blueberry pie so I won't sample the mini pie for another day or two.
