I got it!
I knew this! I didn't know it had a strict proportion of vegetables.
The clotted cream was wonderful! I put a little leftover cream in hot chocolate the next day. I think she baked 2 pints of heavy cream in a baking dish for 12 hours at low temperature, perhaps 200 or 25 degrees. She said that at the end the cream was golden cover and had sperated. She skimmed the solids off and refrigerated it as clotted cream and kept the liquid for cooking.
By the next morning the braids had raisen but weren't too puffy. The fake braids baked up to a beautiful golden brown. The one with more filling leaked at one side edge and was a little misshapened, the other one is beautifully symmetrical. I wrapped them up carefully and put them into the refrigerator. Will take to a party tonight.
Have fun at the NY Sheep and wool chocomouse. Yesterday I had baked chicken thigh with leftover Afghan pumpkin with yogurt sauce. The pumpkin was much better warmed up, then it had been the first time around, probably the tomato sauce improved after being refrigerated.
I am going to do a colonscopy next week. I have two days without whole grains, or raw vegetables or raw fruit in preparation as well as a day of essentially fasting. Its been so long since I first started eating whole wheat flour and brown rice that this is going to be disconcerting. I do cook with white flour, and eat white rice but thats an occasional treat and mainly when eating out.
Got it. I don't remember trying Amaranth. Has anyone tried grain sorghum?
Got it. I love Canadian bacon.
I didn't get this either
On Monday I did English Scones from the Cook's Illustrated recipe. A friend wanted to try the English custom of scones and clotted cream. She had found a recipe for making clotted cream by baking cream in the oven for hours, and I had agreed to make scones to accompany them. Monday Columbus day was a perfectly cool day just right for cooking and a Federal Holiday. So she made the cream and I did more or less this recipe
https://www.tasteasyougo.com/2015/05/british-style-currant-scones-recipe.htmlI found this was too soft with white flour and I made drop scones instead of cut scones. These were baked at 350 degrees for 20 minutes instead of 425 degrees for 10 minutes. Between one thing and another these were rather flat. But they were very tasty and the clotted cream was great.
Today I am making this recipe,.
https://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/cheese-filled-sweet-braid-recipeComparing this recipe with the fake braid in the 200th Anniversary Cookbook, this recipe has half the amount of dough and the same amount of filling. I have one braid with notably less filling than the other, I hope the braid with two much filling turns out. The dough was very soft, I should have added more flour. I ended up rolling it out with extra flour between two sheets of wax paper. I am going to let it rise overnight and bake tomorrow morning. I hope it turns out well.
the oatmeal apricot bars are very good. A little too sweet, next time I'll change 2/3 cup brown sugar to 1/2 cup brown sugar. Would it be too crunchy with regular oatmeal?
Do you eat enough beef to make it worthwhile? I find it handy to cut up my own chicken but beef is expensive enough I only buy one cut at a time. I think the most I bought was a whole eye of round roast. I've bought chuck roasts on sale and put them in the freezer too but thats already cut up.

I am in the middle of making the oatmeal-apricot bars for the first time. I had to go out and buy the quick oats as I normally only keep the regular type on hand.
I am trying to do a new recipe. Afghan pumpkin with tomato sauce and yogurt.
I've gotten the pumpkin cooked, it was a 4lb cheese pumpkin cut into cubes but I haven't made the accompaning tomato sauce or yogurt sauce.https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/12893-afghan-style-pumpkin-with-yogurt-sauce
