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 for dinner Saturday?
Comments (11)Geez, I went to bed at 8 last night so I didn't get to read what ya'll ate. Shirley, I'll trade meatloaf for chicken livers. I don't know why I don't make them at home, but I never have. It was a real shame about I'll Have Another. He was born here in Ocala and sold for only $11,000 in a nearby county. Bet that guy could kick himself! Glenda, have you decided what to take to your luncheon? I love tamales but we haven't had any luck with them locally. Even at the Mexican bakery/restaurant. Sandwich is on the way--you should get it about Wednesday :-) Hounds, I'd love to have a Big Green Egg. I like smokey stuff! It uses charcoal, right? Oh yum!! You won't even have to cook at all for a few days, you lucky duck. Blfenton, thanks for the reminder. I have halibut in the freezer Harry bought at the fish market. Your dinner sounds delicious. The potatoes I made are just regular potatoes au gratin with gruyere cheese and a funny method of making the casserole. Mary, you had a feast! I will have to try chicken parmesan. I've never made it and probably only had it out once or twice. Bet you enjoyed every bite! Jasdip, congrats to DH!! Hope he enjoys his new gig. It sounds like a big step up for him. Sure hope so. Every time I tell Harry we're having pancakes for dinner, his whole face lights up! I know what you mean about the heat taking away your appetite, Cheryl. Are you an auctioneer? At least your DGS was a happy camper. Hope you've cooled off. Did you get a lot done in your garden, Sue? I saw in today's weather you may get rain tomorrow, but today's going to be a scorcher! Kathleen, you must be home now. Did you stop in Hazard for Chinese? Fast thinking to come up with a good meal like you did....See MoreWhat's for Dinner -- Saturday?
Comments (18)Georgysmom: I am drooling over what you had last night. Too bad you couldn't have made up a couple of plates to take home for tonight. Ravencajun: I'll bet your husband's family is happy to have you there cooking for them. I've never had gumbo but I bet I'd like it if you cooked it. That's a lot of food. Rhizo: Simple and plain is how I cook for the most part. It sounds mouth-watering. Chi: I'm not a vegetarian but I bet I'd like your pie. Sue: Good luck with your shower. I've heard they might add a fast/chain food restaurants or two here. I'm voting for Steak and Shake. That's the way I mostly fix my hotdogs when I don't have a coney. Kittiemom: Crab ravioli sounds interesting. Sounds like a well-rounded meal. Shirley This post was edited by gadgets on Sat, Oct 19, 13 at 19:32...See MoreWhat's for dinner Saturday?
Comments (7)Those ribs sound delicious Patti. Vannie and her husband came to visit at the motor home. Then they took us on a tour of the area and we stopped for late lunch at this wonderful restaurant in Longview. There was all kinds of seafood on the menu so it was hard to decide what to eat. I had large shrimp stuffed with crab, baked potato, coleslaw and before it was delivered they brought delicious crisp bread. Also a tray of corn relish, pickled okra, sweet pickles and some cheese butter. Man we ate so much we were stuffed when we left. With all the great restaurants around here we would be rolling everywhere if we lived here. I told Vannie I need to start a folder and keep a list of all the restaurants as she posts about them at the Meeting House. We are having a wonderful time here. Will be moving again on Monday morning....See More- 10 years ago
