I made an apple pie for Pi Day. We will probably kill it off for dessert tonight.

Corned beef and cabbage with carrots is simmering on the stovetop as we speak. I made soda bread to go with it.

I made apple pie for Pi Day and I just took a loaf of soda bread out of the oven to go with tonight's corned beef and cabbage.

Smoking a brisket will take at least 12 hours. You have to control the temperature to around 225-230 degrees and feed the fire every hour or so. But it is worth it in the end. A pork shoulder takes around 10 hours or so. I smoke each of them a couple of times a summer. It freezes very well since eating the whole thing is impossible. A nice surprise when it is freezing out to get a taste of summer from the freezer.

There is a way around the 3 recipe limit. I also get their emails. If you clear your cookies after viewing 3 recipes, the "clock" resets and you can keep viewing. I looked at over a dozen recipes last night doing just that. It is kind of a pain but it does work.

I just took my sweet potato pie out of the oven. The house smells wonderful. For the first time ever I baked the sweet potatoes instead of boiling them. I had the oven on for something else anyway so I put them in. I am curious to see if there is a difference between boiling or baking them. Funny that Mike was talking about doing the opposite.

50% of us (not me) will not touch pumpkin pie with a 10 foot pole. Years ago for the first Thanksgiving after we were married it was requested. I had no idea and never heard of it before so I asked around at work. Lo and behold one of the women came in the next day with a handwritten recipe from her grandmother that she shared. I've been making it ever since.

Here is something I found in my recipe folder on the high gluten flour which was previously called Sir Lancelot. I'm not sure if it came with the flour or if I got it off the KAF website. It does have a bagel recipe and I have made it a few times. Something to try later after I finish cooking the sourdough english muffins I've got waiting for me.

edit - the baby bagels recipe on the KAF site calls for hi gluten flour too. The copy in my file actually says Sir Lancelot hi gluten flour. The recipe otherwise appears to be the same.

The Vietnamese Baguette recipe is posted here. I think it is under Bettina. There are also recipes under 4paws2go. I don't think we got anywhere near all of her recipes off the old BC. I posted everything I saved.

I was in the canning section of our Meijer on Saturday and they had no quart jars at all. There was a decent amount of pints but 1/2 pints were not as plentiful. They had quite a few regular bands and lids but wide mouth was a much lesser quantity. They had a good amount of pectin and labels too.

Chocomouse - I grill anything and everything. I have made green beans before. I blanch them and toss with olive oil and oregano. I grill them in a disposable pie pan and at the very end sprinkle with romano cheese. Probably 10 minutes tops depending on the size of the beans. Sometimes I slice mushrooms and toss those in too. You can also roast them in the oven the same way.

Happy Birthday Cass. Hope you enjoy your special day!

Had the grill going again since the weather cooperated. I made beef shish kebobs and boneless country pork ribs. I marinaded the beef for a couple hours and the vegetables for about an hour. I used mini potatoes, zucchini, mushrooms and red pepper. I will definitely use this marinade again. It made enough we get leftovers tonight.

I rubbed the boneless country pork with the same rub I use for pulled pork. They aren't large pieces so it was completely done in 20 minutes. I flipped them after about 9 minutes and 9 minutes later I brushed with barbeque sauce. Flipped them a couple more times and they were done. Corn on the cob and crunchy bread off the grill and dinner was complete. I have enough of that for dinner tomorrow. So that just leaves Thursday and Friday.....

I made a half apple half cherry pie with crumble topping. Neither amount of filling left was enough for pie on its own so I went with half and half to use it up. It worked out okay. I was a little worried it would run together but each stayed on its own half of the pie crust. I would do this again as the crunble was good on both types of pie.

Orange Roughy is pretty mild. Our local Jewel has a decent fish counter and i can usually get it there. I cook it the same way Mike but I will either put it on the grill or in the oven with lemon and butter and sprinkle of black pepper. Yum! This has given me a taste for it now!

Today is an easy one for dinner. 80+ degrees here today so the grill will be going. Pizza for tonight and chipotle crusted pork for tacos on Cinco de Mayo later this week.

I grilled up chicken breasts yesterday for sandwiches and BBQ'd some thighs. i hope grilling weather is here to stay!
