I got this recipe from my Beard or Bread book. That guy is great. Although he is really heavy on the salt. Whatever he suggests for salt, I usually half, it not more. Somehow 1T is just too much. I go for 2 t. This is my first very successful loaf of white bread. yummy yum yum! I think I'll go have a sandwich!

Turning frozen vegetable scraps into soup broth-

We saved some vegetable scraps and froze them in 32 oz. cubes. I added just a little of liquid to get the thaw started.

lot's of work to grind in this type of mortar but oh my was it yummy

slowly heat the milk, stirring frequently.

homemade chinese dumplings. it's a cinch for them. i love that grandma always flashes the same big smile

with filling of butter and cream

This pie is a total collaboration. Our friend Alan grew the apples right here in lovely Sonoma County, my man made the dough, and I assembled it all in to our "ugly" pie.

The top crust got a little bit mangled, rather than tossing it, I just went with it. I'm learning to adapt, lol.

Hopefully, what it lacks in looks it will make up for in taste!

Day 125 : 365

From scratch: Buttermilk pancakes

When I started to do the math, 3 of these babies is just over HALF of the daily lot of sodium, wow! That's way too much. Need a different recipe. And wow, ever notice how much sodium is in baking soda? I hadn't. 160 mg for 1/8 teaspoon. The recipe called for a half teaspoon. And sheesh, 1 cup of buttermilk had 400 mg! The recipe called for 1 cup.

The pancetta from our Formaggio Kitchen in-house charcuterie share was diced up and thrown into the stew for a nice salty note.

I hadn't spent much time on my wording in a long time. So as a side-project I created Forgery. It was originally just another throw away project then I remembered the use of Character Map! It was so fun messing with the little symbols!!

One of my favourites!

Yes, they are as big as your hand!

I was in a pinch for food, when I realized I had enough ingredients to make this pizza. Pizza from scratch - that's like something out of nothing - not bad. Thank god for the Joy.
