Wednesday's dinner. Burgers and twice fried fries.

Last night's dinner. I bought a small 10lb turkey when they were available for Thanksgiving. Pulled it out of the freezer on Monday and roasted it last night for dinner. Roasted at 500° using the high heat method. Our traditional sides. As much as I love chicken more than turkey, I do like having a turkey carcass to make broth for soup.

I made two batches of sourdough on October 14th. Both started with one of the "scraping" of the jar mini biga. One was baked on October 18th. I didn't exactly forget about the second batch, but I just didn't get around to taking it out of the fridge last night, after a 7 day cold fermentation. Left it on the counter overnight until 4:00 AM this morning. Out of the oven around 6:00 AM. I'm always amazed how even after that long of time in the fridge it still turns out well.

I had planned on grilling these steaks for dinner last night, but neither of us felt like a big dinner. Moe had a steak for breakfast. Grill steak, butter basted local farm fresh eggs, fried potatoes and mushrooms and toasted homemade bread.

I forgot that I had this very large cast iron "Mongolian" griddle pan. I hadn't used it in a while. But I pulled it out yesterday morning and made a Mongolian beef style dish for Moe's breakfast and I took the same for lunch. This very heavy large pan is 22" in diameter and doesn't really fit on the stove so I used it on my gas grill. Cooked the onions, garlic and ginger on one side, and the beef on the other and then combined with the sauce and finished with noodles.

Last night's dinner - Linguine with clams.

I still had the wontons I made last month in the freezer so I pulled them out and made wonton soup for dinner.

Yesterday's and today's breakfasts for Moe. Yesterday I made him penne in a tomato basil sauce with Italian sausage. And today was a beef dip sandwich with homemade fries.

They look good to me. I need to try and make English Muffins one of these days. Made two doughs on October 3rd, both the same. Each had a mini biga/starter (95g) and 1g of yeast, and the starter was made with the scrapings in the bottom of the jar with about 22g of discard. One batch was baked on October 5th and the second one was taken out of the fridge Wednesday night and baked yesterday morning. So it had a 6 day fermentation. Baked 12 small sourdough rolls.

Thanks Rotuts.

Two dinners - Tuesday we a roast beef dinner with our traditional sides, including Yorkshire Puddings. And yesterday's dinner was Greek with lamb shanks, potatoes, rice and a Greek Salad.

Moe's breakfast. Navy Bean Ham Bone Soup.

Thanks @rotuts. Made Moe a hot turkey sandwich with homemade twice fried fries and as always with a hot sandwich, canned peas. Bread was baked this morning.

I planned to take a dough out of the fridge last night to bake early this morning, but then I saw the ham I bought the other day and decided instead to make a ham dinner for breakfast. Might as well do something when you get up early. Put the ham in the oven just before 4AM. Served with potato gratin and Southern style simmered green beans. Moe had the ham dinner for breakfast and I'm going to take the same thing to work for lunch.

Moe requested leftover oxtails for breakfast. Served with scrambled eggs and toasted homemade sourdough rye bread.

Last night's dinner. I had Oxtails so I just used my regular osso bucco recipe to prepare them. Served over polenta and rapini.

Breakfast is served. Schwartz's Montreal Smoked Meat on homemade sourdough rye.

Today's bake. Out of the oven at 5:30 AM. Two sourdough rye loaves. Started the dough early yesterday morning using one of the mini bigas. Dough went into the fridge for a 12 hour cold fermentation. Taken out last night at 8:30 and left on the counter until 3:00 AM this morning.

Baked 21 small sourdough rolls this morning. Some to giveaway and some for the freezer. Made Moe a toasted Peameal Bacon and fried egg sandwich on one of the rolls for breakfast.

This batch of dough had been in the fridge since Sunday and taken out last night around 8:30 AM. Baked a number of small sourdough rolls. Moe had been smelling the bread baking since just after 4:00AM and couldn't wait until they had cooled so I cut one just out of the oven with an electric knife and slathered it with butter. That will keep him going until breakfast.

Made Moe French Toast for breakfast and I split open a baguette baked on Sunday, toasted and topped with a tomato from Matt's garden.

Smithy, you can find it here on the blog..........https://thibeaultstable.com/2012/09/12/crispy-pork-stuffed-eggplant/ The seasoned pork is sandwiched between two thin slices of eggplant and then dipped in a tempura type batter.

I made Crispy Pork Stuffed Eggplant for dinner tonight. I made this the first time back in 2012. I guess I must have forgot just how good it is because I hadn't made it since. So good.................

Pulled a mini starter out of the fridge last night and made a dough. Left it on the counter overnight from 8:30PM until 3:00 AM this morning and baked 6 baguettes. At the same time last night I fed the scrapings in the bottom of the jar and fed again with 55g of water and 55g of flour. It had more than doubled by 3:00AM so I decided I might as well make another batch of dough this morning. Just finished the last stretch and fold and the dough is going into the fridge for a cold fermentation. I refed the scrapings left in the jar and will leave it out on the counter today. Will be ready to either go into another batch of dough tonight or into the fridge for a day or two.

His and Her breakfasts. Made Moe peameal bacon with sunnyside up farm fresh eggs from a friends chickens, a Siletz tomato from Matt's tomato garden and toasted baguette. And I had toasted baguette topped with Peameal bacon and another tomato. Not big on breakfast, but if I'm going to have breakfast, this is my favourite.
