In which these are just baking notes (I’ll want to know what ratios I used if this batch is either a raging success or a terrific failure). Grocery store’s been entirely out of flour the last few times I was in there, but last Sunday’s paper had an article about a local wheat farmer. Visited […]
In which, okay, I know I’ve posted too much about bread lately, and some of these pics are recycled, but this is my adaptation of someone else’s adaptation of the ‘Artisan Bread In 5 Minutes A Day’ method. I think I’ve got my dough recipe dialed in! This has amazing crust and crumb. Here we […]
In which there are things I’ve cooked. (Or baked! I guess baking is a different category.) I cook a lot, for a variety of reasons. Eating out is expensive. I live in the middle of nowhere and can only go out to eat if he (and his car) are home. I’ve become an experienced cook […]
In which there’s a tuna sandwich. I baked a loaf of bread and made a pressed sandwich: We ate it for dinner! (The expensive olive oil canned tuna has the texture and taste of canned tuna from my childhood. Made me feel a weird sort of nostalgia, even.) Update: holy SHIT was this amazing the […]
In which I’ve made PERFECT baguette! Holy shit, IT’S A MIRACLE! The #breadin5 dough has been hanging out in the fridge since the 17th, so today I baked it up and THE RESULTS were SPECTACULAR: The crust is delicately crisp, and the crumb is glossy and soft with lots of holes. It actually did that […]
In which I’m already planning next year’s tomatoes! While there is a back yard on the west side of the house so enormous it could support an absolutely giant garden, there’s also a huge shade tree back there, and tall fences, so I’m not really sure about sunlight. Plus, to put a garden in the […]
In which I served soup and salad for dinner this evening! The soup is this one, more or less. (I added a carrot and red pepper flakes, used bouillon and water rather than broth, used tomato paste rather than sauce, and winged all the amounts, BUT OTHERWISE, it’s basically that recipe! Yum!) Salads were of […]
In which LEFTOVERS. So I decided to go out for coffee or something. Got dressed, organized my backpack with all my stationery crap and devices, put on shoes… and then couldn’t decide where to go. Realized I was hungry. Sat down at my computer and looked at food delivery and recipes. Finally got so hungry […]
In which there are eggs. I woke up here in the new year, grabbed my phone, and searched ‘egg & chips.’ (Leftover fries in the fridge, you see.) Found this recipe from The Irish Times and had all the ingredients on hand! Got up and cooked. So, here’s eggs & chips with a green sauce […]
In which there’s bread and soup. I went to the bakery down the street today and bought bread (a baguette and a rye boule), and then I served some for dinner with a pot of yummy soup! Saw a meatless pasta e fagioli recipe online that called for lentils, so I threw in some Beluga […]
