  1. I'm a morning person, but not a breakfast person. We are usually have a cappuccino before 4:00 AM.

    Not interested in eating in the morning.  Unless it is something sweet, like a donut, cinnamon bun, cream cheese danish, etc.to go  with

    the cappuccino.   

     

    Moe loves breakfast and needs to eat in the morning. 

    And as much as he is happy with standard breakfast food,toast,  eggs, bacon , sausage, ham, omelettes, oatmeal, pancakes, etc.. or pretty much

    anything I want to give him, he is more than happy to eat dinner for breakfast.  Which works for me especially on days that I work.  He can have dinner for breakfast

    and I'll take it for lunch.

     

    I really enjoy the Breakfast Topic and the untraditional meals posted by @liuzhou,  @blue_dolphin@C. sapidus.

    I have been craving halibut for a couple of weeks now. My "local" fishmonger didn't have any. I finally found some at Whole Foods and cooked it up. It was great!  I was at Trader Joe today and was hoping they might have some frozen packages but I struck out. I guess I'll have to order some from Rogers Fish Co.

    Thankfully, Halibut just came back into season here on the west coast of Canada so it will be available fresh now through to late October or early November.

  5. Pulled a sourdough out of the fridge at 7:30 AM this morning that had been in the fridge for six days.
    Went in Thurs. April 10th around 8:00 PM.
     
    Made with just 70g of discard and less than a half a gram of yeast.
    We made pizza for dinner.

    RhubarbfirstoftheseasonArpil13th2024.thumb.jpg.96a3b430c6c745ee9772bd5aa9fe85a1.jpg
    Picked the first rhubarb of the season from my rhubarb patch and made a rhubarb pie.
     
    I had to leave for work, but the pie still needed about 10 more minutes.

    So Matt was responsible for taking it out of the oven when the time was up.

    After looking at the pie all day, Moe decided that all he wanted for dinner tonight was rhubarb pie.
    So that made dinner really easy.

    I cut the narrow end off of the pork tenderloin last night before roast and cut four small medallions.

  10. Tonight's dinner.
    We were eating in less than 90 minutes after I got home from work.
    In between stages I watched the Blue Jays game with Moe.
    Thank goodness for a good timer.

    This is the second Cooper timer I have owned.
    First one the digital screen went on it after about 15 years or more, so Matt bought me a new one a few years ago for my birthday.
    Gets used multiple time a day.

    @Ann_T

    Did your halibut filets come with the skin on?

    I got some Wednesday and had a devil of a time removing it before cooking.

     

    They almost always have skin on the bottom.  Unless you are making battered fish and chips, you don't need to remove the skin before cooking

     

    I start the filets good side up and then it flip it with skin side down and finish in the oven.  If you slide a metal spatula/ flipper between the flesh and the skin it

    slides right off.  Or you can just plate it and the meat just comes away from the skin with each forkful.     

     

    If I'm making fish and chips I always ask the person behind the fish counter to remove the skin for me.

    Put a sourdough in the fridge on March 29th and took it out last night and left it on the counter until 2:00 AM this morning.

    So it was six days in the fridge, and baked on the 7th day.

  13. This dough just kept on giving......
    It was started at 4:00 AM Sunday morning with a sourdough Levain.
    After the last stretch and fold, I divided it into three pieces. One that was 500g and one that was 350g, both went into different containers, and the remaining dough went into a larger container and into the fridge along with the smaller 350g dough.
    The 500g batch was left out on the counter for a room temperature fermentation and Matt made himself a large pizza late afternoon.
    The 350g dough got taken out of the fridge at noon and left on the counter until I got home from work and I baked a small pizza in the OONI for Moe and I to share for dinner Sunday night.
    That left the large piece, still in the fridge since Sunday.
    Matt took it out this morning around 8:00 and cut off another 500g piece and baked himself a pizza around 3:00 PM

    and I used the remaining dough to make this loaf.
    Just out of the oven.
     
    Edited: Moe really wanted a slice of warm bread so I caved and sliced it while it was still warm.

  14. Last night's dinner.
    I decided to buy halibut steaks this time instead of the filets.
    And although the fish is the same and tasted wonderful, I decided there is a reason I never buy steaks.
    I hate bones.
    It was a work night so dinner was quick and simple.

    I think this looks delicious and I like that you used cashews instead of peanuts.   

     

    I baked cornbread this morning as per requested by Moe.
