The weather is truly pants today, wind, rain and truly baltic. So I made this weeks bread.
I seem to be able to make a cracking wholemael loaf. My white loaves are not as grand.:blushing:

Even though the weather was dreary, I'll bet the smell of fresh baked bread in the house brightened things up.
We are going to try and make homemade bread for the first time this week! We got our made from scratch biscuits down so now we are moving on to bread. Tonight's dinner is homemade sloppy joes and oven fries. Yum!
Supper tonight was: Home raised rabbit rolled in flour and browned, then simmered in it's own gravy till done. New potatoes with butter and fresh rosemary spinkled over them and then baked in the oven. Also fresh picked patty pans and yellow squash dipped in egg (from our chickens) and rolled in flour then fried in oil. Lemonade with fresh sweet mint leaves added. Yeah. The lemonade was out sourced. A fresh baked loaf of beer bread would have made things complete.

Just had a little taste of Heaven. Cooked 2 packs of Ramen Noodles, drained them, added 2 TBS. of butter and 1 seasoning pack. Cubed a can of Spam into 1/4" pieces and fried 'em crispy in butter. Tossed the spam into the noodles and mixed it all up. Had a couple of warm tortillas on the side with a big glass of iced tea.
Sometimes the simple stuff is the best.
Steak, filet mignon, its been years (We rarely ever buy steak), sautéed jumbo shrimp and mushrooms.
Last weekend, we had some family over for grillin and swimming. Carne asada, mojo shrimp, citrus salad, taters, and guacamole on the menu.

The leftover carne asada went into enchiladas:

This maybe the single most depressing picture I have ever seen. Got enough biscuits and not enough sausage gravy to cover them all!Quote:

Mango and hot pepper is awesome. I had a guat friend who told me about a dry pepper powder they put on their mango. It was not very spicy at all. But, it put me on a path to putting hot stuff with mango. Have you ever eaten green mango with salt?
I have a little crush on Grrlscout right now.
I am, as always, slow cooking pork.
Don't even go there. :angry: I've already got dibs on the guest room. Five posts before this one. Read it and weep.Quote:

Hey, Winter, check this out. This should be pretty easy to make. Pulling the pork is always the hardest part for me.

I've got pulled pork down. It's brisket I can't master. And with the prices on brisket already this summer, not gonna be practicing too much.
The last couple of weekends have been disasterous experiments with wild-caught sourdough (not the Alaskan kind). I've got a good starter going, seems to be pretty bubbly and smells pretty good. It's just not sour. And doesn't seem to want to rise after forming the loaf. Ruined an old pizza pan. First loaf welded itself to that sucker and pulled the seasoning right off to the bare metal.
This morning's sourdough waffles were pretty good. But still not noticeably sour.
