Yesterday I took the honey walnuts from this recipe.
https://thetakeout.com/recipe-how-to-make-honey-walnut-shrimp-chinese-takeou-1841899939and added them to a batch of buttermilk scones. It was great. I don't know if I will do it again soon as the walnut pieces were sticky and messy when I nibbled on them -- not all the candied walnuts made it into the scones. However the walnuts made the scones much more interesting and I cheerfully ate them with the rest of the strawberries over two days, and by themselves for snacks and a light lunch.
Has anyone made buttermilk raisin bread with white flour? I have found this doesn't work with all whole wheat flour. The buttermilk whole wheat bread is fine and tasty and light, but adding currants or other fruit makes it heavy. It took me three or four tries to figure out what went wrong.
I got it.
I missed this. I knew bacon should have some protein but had no idea of how much.
I knew this too!
Riverside Len; The bread and sandwich looks wonderful.
BakerAunt; you certainly had a busy weekend. I like the sound of the Cinnamon raisin bread.
Thats wonderful preserving all that food and using it. I am so envious. Good strawberries are expensive at the farmers' market and hard to find elsewhere. I had a big box from the supermarket and it was unripe and tasteless. I cooked the last of it with a pork chop as it wasn't worth eating fresh.
I'm now working on finishing up 2 pints from the farmers' market. Red and sweet and wonderful.Those are huge mixers! Looks like a cartoon.
Happy Birthday! It has been a pleasure conversing with you and I hope to do it for a long time.
BakerAunt;
Thanks for the information. I hope to try it soon. I bought some square 1/2 by 1/2 wood doweling and with the help of a lot of aluminum foil plan to make my own molds. I am going to save the last of my whole wheat flour for this.Saturday I made plain white flour scones to eat with strawberries. A little tough I think I over mixed them. Its odd baking with only white flour again. Its going to take time to get in practice.
I knew this. There was an article in New York Time magazine about a group trying to bring back the American Chestnut tree.
Here is a page from that foundation. The previous page might be behind a firewall
I saw a suggestion to wash the glasses with soap and water, leaving a slight soap film on the glasses so that the water didn't stick. I haven't tried that. A mask which fit carefully around the nose so that water vapor wouldn't travel up should work also.
BakerAunt; How did the Pan au Chocolat come out? do you think the strong taste on the WW sourdough is from the whole wheat or from the sourdough starter?
Supposedly there are bakeries that are doing that around here. They weren't in my neighborhood and I didn't want to drive around so I didn't write down the contact information. I wonder if they are still doing it.
I'm doing the three pleats surgical mask, with ties around the back of the head, from directions sent to me by a friend. I read that the ones that go around the ears are uncomfortable after a while. I've added a support band that goes from the upper ties over the head that keeps the mask from slipping down. I went from adjusting the mask every couple of minutes to going throught three stores without problems.
My mask is open at the bottom so extra filters can be added. I'm pleased with how the mask works, just frustrated that it takes time.Chocomouse, you know such nice people. I am amazed that anyone can make and donate masks. I've sewn some but it takes me 2 weeks to get four sewn. I've done 12 so far, 7 have been given away, I'm using 2 and have 3 unallocated. I might be sending two to a friend later when I can get to the post office.
