  1. 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.

    Matt took just over 500g of dough and made himself a vegetarian bacon, cheeseburger pizza,

    and I baked a small 350g pizza for Moe and I in the OONI. Ours was Italian sausage and mushroom.

    There was enough dough leftover, about 900g, so I baked a large batard.

    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.

  3. Moe's breakfast.
    I cut the narrow end off of the pork tenderloin last night before roast and cut four small medallions.

    Pounded out this morning and breaded them to make Jagerschnitzel. Schnitzel with a mushroom sauce.
    Served with rice and some of the leftover braised red cabbage.
    I'm taking the same thing for lunch.

    Honey Garlic Chicken, with rice.
    Been awhile since I made this dish and I had forgot just how
    much we both like it. 
     
    Added some cashews to it this time.

  6. 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.

    The Parisienne potatoes are cut from Russet potatoes using a melon baller.

    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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

    Kim, I'm not a breakfast fan, but if I have to have breakfast out, it is eggs benedict that I order.   That one looks perfect.  I would also like the scones.  They do look tender.

    Made a Thai Chicken Red curry served over rice for Moe this morning.
    I'm working today so I'm taking the same for lunch.

    Now that is a beauty.

    I'm always amazed at how a loaf turns out when I do something different, like using a dough that has been in the fridge for a week, or not refreshing the starter.

    And then it turns out like that beautiful loaf. Love the crust and the rusticness of it.  I can just imagine how delicious it is.

  16. Started two batches of sourdough last night. Both started with levains that had been in the fridge for 3 days. 
     
    One went into the fridge for another day and the other was left out on the counter for a room temperature bulk fermentation.
    Had more than doubled by 3:00 AM this morning.

    One of our Sobeys, the "super one" has a full service seafood and butcher department.

    We have two Thrify's in the area. And both have a full butcher and fish department. I live in between both so I have an option.

    I hate buying packaged meat and fish.  I want to be able to pick out what I want.
