A little less golden, but a much better roll on this attempt. (See last insta photo). And the dough, after another 2 day hold is still very tasty and responsive. I should have let them rise a bit more before baking, but they worked out beautifully! Leveling up in my game. Also, should maybe focus on my game for a couple of weeks. Or not. . . . #croissant #fermentedfoods #ifIcandoityoucandoit #baking #homemade #homecooking #homemade #weekdaybaking #freshbaked #fbcigers #food #treats #instayum #food #foodforfoodies #foodielife #foodietribe #lovefood #foodoftheday #torontofoodies #foodphotos #foodielife #igerstoronto #f52grams #igerscanada #pastry #yummy #foodtribe #igerstoronto #instafood #madefromscratch #cooking #LexCook #LexGoFurther via Instagram bit.ly/2BpK5EG

Hot crossed buns 2019. I love hot crossed buns, and I've been working to perfect my recipe for 5-10 years. I missed last year (long story) but the year before I made a batch that was very similar to a commercial bun. A bit change from my history of small dense spice buns. I'd prefer a hybrid and this is pretty close. Very happy to have buns for breakfast. . . . #hotcrossbuns #baking #homecooking #baking #homemade #craving #weekendbaking #freshbaked #fbcigers #food #treats #instayum #food #foodforfoodies #foodielife #foodietribe #lovefood #foodoftheday #torontofoodies #foodphotos #foodielife #igerstoronto #f52grams #igerscanada #foodblogger #yummy #foodtribe #igerstoronto #instafood #madefromscratch #cooking #LexCook #LexGoFurther via Instagram bit.ly/2We5SYo

Team Pizza! Pizza & movie night after a long day of fire building and sap boiling... also known as sugaring. Everyone got to make their own pizza and we had everything from cheese to anchovy & peppers, from pepperoni to 3 meat 3 cheese. I'm still working on getting my pizza dough right for groups, I end up making too much dough and so everyone ends up with a bit more bready pizza than they want... And missing out on dessert. I need to start using a scale in my portioning. Lesson learned. Of course, we almost all feel alseep on the couch because we were outside hauling and splitting wood all day, so perhaps that is why we missed dessert too. . . . #pizzanight #homemade #pizza #pie #letsmakepizza #teamlundy #fbcigers #yum #food #instadaily #authentic #reallife #realcooking #foodblogger #foodielife #truecooks #igerscanada #dinner #viewfromhere #fotd #foodoftheday #instayum #foodforfoodies #foodoftheday #homecooking #yummy #onmyplate #LexGoFurther #LexCooks via Instagram ift.tt/2Tw9P8t

When the pizza crust is so good, they serve it with butter. And I thought @gerrythorpe was the only person who did that. Do you do it? Turns out there's an entire town in Quebec - L'Islet - that does it! (I suspect it's a regional thing, not just this town) but my prayers was served with butter and my server and my spouse both agreed: I was the word one for bit doing it. I tried, and the crust was excellent and even better with butter.

Is anybody else enjoying a Caesar for lunch? It's like have a salad, but you can add as much ice as you want! And as much spice. Perfect when it's too hot to eat. And you want something savoury.

I don't have this year's beauty shot of our maple syrup, but the season is not over yet. In the meantime, here is a little taste. This season's syrup is amber in colour but delicate in flavour. The season started late, but the sap has been sweeter than usual, meaning we are getting a better yield. The commercial producers have already identified that this year there is a higher likelihood of sugar sand, a natural particulate that becomes sediment at the bottom of the jars. It is usually filtered out, if possible, but reoccurs quickly and easily if you reheat your stop to over 200°. So of you are cooking with maple syrup this season, it's something to be aware of. We are done this week and are off to @ooak_toronto to help my in-laws sell @thorpetoys toys but I can't wait to get back up for our next boil. . . . #maplesyrup #sugaring #harvest #sweet #bradford #schomberg #maplesyrupseason #diy #canada #organic #farmlife #discoverON #natural #tapintomaple #LetsGoMaple #food #unsweetenedca #fbcigers #truecooks #foodforfoodies #foodietribe #foodoftheday #torontofoodies #foodphotos #foodielife #igerstoronto #f52grams #madefromscratch #LexGoFurther #LexCooks via Instagram ift.tt/2CESepn
