  1. I was going to make Chicken Perigord for dinner tonight which requires stuffing mushroom duxelles
    under the skin of boneless chicken breasts.
    I had two chicken breasts that I had boned and left the wings attached.
    But I needed to go shopping because I didn't have the mushrooms.
    Decided that I really didn't feel like going out today. So I didn't.

    Neither of us was overly hungry, so I roasted just one of the chicken breasts.

    Dinner was simple. Moe had Roast chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, and frozen peas.

    I had a bowl of mashed potatoes and lots of gravy and a slice of the chicken.

    Moe's breakfast. I'm working so this should keep him going for a while.

    We started with focaccia topped with warm goat cheese and roasted red peppers. Served with Unsworth Vineyards  Charme de l'île.
    A local sparkling wine.

    It is a family tradition that Moe’s Birthday Cake/Dessert is always something with fresh strawberries.

    Your ribs and salad look great. I can't fathom rice and potatoes, although the lemon potatoes at a local place make my heart sing and my husband will happily eat both

     

    I love rice and potatoes.  Both with Greek and  with Indian curries. 

  5. Dough for this batch was started using a sourdough biga that had been left on the counter Tuesday night (May 21st)
    and  then went into a batch of dough Wednesday morning (May 22nd).
     
    After the last stretch and fold the dough went into the fridge for a long cold fermentation (about 80 hours).
    I asked Matt to take the dough out of the fridge around noon yesterday so that it would be ready for me use when I got home from work.
    I used 300g of dough to make a pepperoni pizza for Moe and I and six baguettes.

  7. Had planned on making Greek for dinner last night, but postponed it until this morning.

    Moe had grilled Greek baby back ribs with a Greek salad rice and Greek potatoes.
    All the traditional sides served in the Greek Restaurants in Toronto's Greek Town. Love double carb meals.
    I'm taking the same to work for lunch.

    @Ann_T - those are some gorgeous biscuits.  I believe that you've earned honorary Southern Lady status with those!  

     

    I just had toast this morning:

    As long as there's raisin bread in the house, I'm going to be having it at least once a day!

    Too bad for Moe that I hate raisins.  He would love your bread.

    But you may be sick of my beans!  

    No way.  In fact, Matt is a vegetarian and cooks a lot of beans.  I show him just about all

    your breakfasts.  And he always responds with he would definitely eat that.

    I baked this loaf in an enameled cast iron bread oven that I can recommend:

    I like the idea of the Cuisiland Bread Baker.  I hate dropping the loaf into a dutch oven. This one

    would be easier to do with out getting burned. 

     

    Started a sourdough Levain and a sourdough Biga yesterday.  Used the Levain in a batch of dough last night and left it out on the counter until

    4AM today.

    Removed 500g for Matt to make a pizza for himself and the remainder when into four batards.

    Sliced for breakfast.

    I really like the flavour of the poppy seeds, especially when the bread is toasted.

  11. FriedeggswithpeamealbaconMay22nd20241.thumb.jpg.7a1b2cfbed1a54fc1ab5f7299e85e4a1.jpg

    Moe had buttered based eggs with fried Peameal bacon and

    PeamealBaconandTomatoonToastMay22nd2024.thumb.jpg.e31f6104604b622110c782c302dcd563.jpg

    I had my toast with fried peameal and tomato. 

     

    I'm just realizing how deprived I've been for all the years I haven't been able to find peameal bacon.

    I've never really cared much for breakfast food except for this.    You might get sick of my breakfast posts.

  12. @Senior Sea Kayaker, that pasta looks so good. And spicy. 

     

    Simple dinner last night.

    Peameal bacon and tomato on toast.
    Having felt deprived for the last few years I love having
    peameal bacon in the freezer.

    Pulled out the big meat slicer and sliced up the leftover NY Strip Loin that I grilled yesterday.

  14. Man size breakfast.
    I had intended to grill this steak for two last night and didn't.
    image.thumb.png.ba4f9c07dea731793d82b6308f9d788c.png
    So I grilled it this morning and made Moe a skillet breakfast with fried eggs, fried potatoes with onions and a grilled tomato.

    Just to be honest, he didn't eat that whole steak. Just a thick slice.
    The rest is destined for a steak sandwich.

  15. Today's breakfast.

    ToastedPeamealBaconandTomatosandwichesMay16th2024.thumb.jpg.f7e4dcbfcc98745f63c1c655a3a1181e.jpg

    Toasted Peameal Bacon and Tomato sandwich on a homemade kaiser.

     

    One of the few things I miss about living in Ontario is Peameal bacon.  It is common and found

    in most grocery stores and butchers.    

     

    Unfortunately isn't found often here on the west coast.

     

    But I finally found a source.   I can't believe that I have never been to this butcher shop before.

    One of the best butcher shops I've seen.  

    GlenwoodButcherBuyMay15th20241.thumb.jpg.0acb2a4c7777386711e81542e8ca20fb.jpg

    Bought oxtails, rack of lamb and peameal bacon yesterday. 

     

    Plan to visit it at least once a month when we make a Victoria Costco run.

  16. Rack of Lamb on the grill.

    Served with a potato gratin, zucchini and carrots.

    I also made Moe a fresh mint sauce, which isn't in the photos.

  17. I bought two small 7lb turkeys just after Christmas and still had one left.
    RoastTurkeyMay14th2024.thumb.jpg.0d901116b9758afa17687f7df101b1ea.jpg
    So pulled it out of the freezer Monday and roasted it yesterday morning.

    We had hot turkey sandwiches with homemade fries and peas.
     
    And lots of rich turkey gravy.
    RoastTurkeyGravyMay14th20243.thumb.jpg.98d413e96d191fc581c58d76c457a493.jpg
     
    This little turkey netted 4 cups of gravy.
    The carcass and the legs went into the stock pot last night.
    Will make soup later today.
