I tried a recipe for Chicken with Orange Flavor from Chinese Casserole Cookery, only I used 5 drumsticks instead of one chicken; and I cooked it in a stove top pressure cooker. I haven't eaten it yet, I plan to warm it up for supper. I would have liked to have cooked this a couple of days ago but I ran out of energy in the evening and ate some left over pizza or a sandwich instead.
I also put in some parsnips since I had them, and didn't have any bamboo shoots. The parsnips came out very soft, more than I expected. The chicken recipe included hoisin sauce, orange peel, sherry, soy sauce and Thai peppers so I have great hopes of it being tasty.Riverside Len;
Those buns look magnificent!I baked a sort of focaccio -- it was going to be a pizza but it was rather dry and rose nicely into a boule form so I just baked it instead of flattening it out and trying to make a pizza. My initial plans were for an apple pizza or cranberry-ricotta pizza.
I messed this up.
After going to cooking so much whole wheat I am finding regular white rolls far too soft. Trader Joe's had some French Milk bread rolls "Pain au Lait" which were tasty but very very soft.
I did a fairly blind guess and chose the wrong answer.
Are you sure of this answer? Wikipedia has a different explanation
Thanks for the recipes. The butternut squash/chicken looks intriguing. My last pot pie crust was unfortunately soggy, but I think I know what caused it. I'm not sure that I'd want an egg wash on the underside of the pie crust. I like the top of the pie crust to be crisp, but the soft texture of the underside where it meets the pot pie filling is part of its charm.
Do you think that kale is a good addition to a pot pie? I am afraid it would over cook and turn out mushy.Last Thursday I did a cheese pizza. This is the sort of pizza I do all the time but this time it had far less cheese. I realized later that I was using a cheese plane to cut up the cheese and while the whole pizza was covered it wasn't covered very thickly.
Saturday I did a buttermilk whole wheat bread with a cinnamon swirl, cooked in the slow cooker. It too about 3 hours to get to 190 degrees and was just great. The cinnamon sugar wasn't as visible as it would have been for a white bread but it was very tasty.Baker Aunt; congratulations on a successful brownie adaption! I don't like chocolate chips in brownies but I love nuts.
Mike; I went to look at Susan Purdy's pie cookbook again and she has a lot of different pie crust recipes, the potato recipe was very appealing too.
I am getting a Canadian friend to bring me a can of Very Dark maple syrup, she said that this used to be "#4" before they changed the grading system. I hope it will give a stronger flavor in maple icing. I've tried Light and Medium Canadian Maple Syrup, I have a can of Dark Maple syrup but haven't opened it yet.
I got it.
My problem with maple syrup is always that the maple flavor seemed too subtle. I was thinking of getting maple flavoring seperately but was too lazy.
Mike;
I think I made Hot Water Pastry once. I used Crisco as the fat. What fat did you use with this? I think this was before I wanted to try oil based pie crusts.Thats interesting, I've read about kombucha and seen it at health food stores. I've never drunk it. Is it healthy?
