Rainy day baking and cooking... What are you cooking today?
Comments (24)Although it seems like a forgiving dough - I can taste that I cheated on the overnight ferment. Sorry your casserole dishes aren't big enough. I bake in a toaster oven so when my bread rises it burns on top. Another reason P a L'A is good - it spreads out more than up. I brush the bread with some slightly salty water right before it goes in the oven. But I lose that lovely floury rustic surface. Do you have a pizza stone? That helped me get a better crust back when I last had an oven - now I use it in my grill to make pitas. Also I read somewhere or another about using a SS restaurant dish lid as a cloche though I've never seen one large enough. I am currently jealously watching a neighbor build a stone wood-fired bread oven by his pond - the ultimate bread oven. He says he will advise me when I am ready to build one - and I definitely do not lack for rocks. However right now my 'yard' is festooned with logs, brush and firewood piles. Hopefully in the near future the logs will become a woodshed and I can move the firewood inside. Then maybe a bread oven - which will entail moving rocks. I'm tired just thinking about it all. Making some tea and toast and taking a nap....See MoreWhat's Cooking This Weekend?
Comments (24)Had some boneless thighs I had to cook up. I seared them off on both sides and put in a baking dish. Added some butter to the pan and sauteed a tub of mushrooms and bag of fresh spinach. Spooned all that over the chicken thighs. Sprinkled Parmesan cheese over everything and poured a small carton of whipping cream over the top. Baked at 350 for about 30 minutes. Came out very good! Made another Potluck German Apple Cake for husband. He loves that cake! Roasting a couple of turkey breasts for sandwiches and a pot of turkey noodle soup later in the week. Have never roasted just the breasts before....See MoreWhat are you cooking this weekend?
Comments (22)I am doing a small father's day brunch that just got a little smaller. My FIL fell and has a compressed fracture of the spine. They think he'll be okay, but is in some discomfort and won't be released from hospital for a bit. I'm serving roasted veggie and cheese sandwiches on homemade foccacia and Ina's roasted shrimp salad (to which I plan on adding roasted corn and avocado). hhireno, I have one DD who is a vegetarian and one who was a very fussy eater (thankfully she's outgrown it). I never expect our hosts to cook special for them and always bring something instead. However, I have never been asked to bring things for them and, as a host, I wouldn't dream of asking someone to bring their own (but would accept if they offered - esp. with allergies or vegans 'cause I'm so scared I'll get it wrong)....See MoreDid You Bake This Weekend?
Comments (28)Raven, rhubarb is not sweet, in fact it is quite sour. ! cup diced has just 6 grams of carbs. Many won't eat it because it takes a good bit of sweetener to make it tasty such as in sauce or a pie. But, compare the carbs in apples and the sugar needed to make a tasty pie or sauce with them....well you come out pretty even on the carbs. In fact my way of making each, the rhubarb has a little less carbs....See MoreMarilyn Sue McClintock
