What are you cooking today and how?

[Rick]

I've made a lot of bread and never used a mixer. Bread is about the easiest thing in the world to make. It just takes a long time letting it rise a couple of times.

Afternoon snack. Uni rolls and (A) scallop. Lol...

See, that's the weird thing...before I found this one, I tried an italian bread recipe that said to use a mixer, which I don't have. So i figured "eh, it's bread"....but it just kind of didn't work. I mean, I wound up with bread at the end, but it wasn't right. Like it took extra measures to make it come together. Which is weird for me, because I bake a lot of bread too. First thing I learned how to bake.


on another topic - hey, medic? Now I want sushi. I hope you're happy.

I wouldn't hand mix a bread that calls for a mixer. There is some fairly exact chemistry going on in bread making with the starches and proteins. I would find a recipe for hand mixing. That's me though.

[tundrabadger]

And that, rick, is exactly what I did the next time I felt like making italian bread. hence recording it as a recipe that doesn't require a mixer in my recipe book. you don't need to tell me there's exact chemistry going on, I discovered that. Not entirely sure why you would want to cook bread using a mixer in general. It seems like it would be kind of like using a bread machine recipe, but without the convenience.

You don't knead to tell me either.

[Rick]

I thought that might get a rise out of you.

[crashdive123]

At the very yeast.

We see what you did there. Well played.

We had leftovers from last night's roast chicken (with stuffing, green beans and broccoli) with some tinned new potatoes and frozen cauliflower sauteed together and served with gravy. I made a risotto for tomorrow so it's ready whenever we're hungry (chicken and stock from last night's roast, some mushrooms and a bit of frozen spinach).

I had 10 medium sized shrimp and a yellow bell pepper, steamed, no fats or oils. Bleh, but I've lost 8 lbs so far!

[crashdive123]

Congrats on the weight loss.

[1stimestar]

Thanks. Breakfast this morning (and I normally skip breakfast) an apple.

I think I'm going to do some sort of chicken stir fry as we have lots of vegetables in the fridge I need to use up. Hopefully, there's a sachet of sauce somewhere in the cupboards to liven it up with. And chocolate chip cookies for dessert.

[Rick]

Looks like the mail service messed up again. I didn't receive my invitation. What time is dinner? I prefer milk with the cookies.

Chicken thighs in a Knorr Primavera sauce. It's made quite a lot of sauce, along with the chicken juices, so I'll make a veg soup using the leftover sauce. ^Those pics are making me hungry!

[kyratshooter]

Have a 5 pound pork shoulder in the oven due to an insane craving for pulled pork BBQ.

The crave also includes the clear vinegar BBQ sauce I grew up with back in TN/NC, so I had to make up a batch of BBQ sauce, since no one in NKY knows what I am talking about.

These people may be in KY but they cook like Yankees!

Ground deer meat, brown gravy and macaroni, kind of a knock off goulash/ stroganoff dish.
