Moe's Breakfast. Made him his favourite pancakes with blueberries this morning.

Made Moe Cornbread this morning. He likes his with honey.

Love this photo.

Tonight's dinner. Spicy Chicken and Eggplant with a black bean sauce.

My idea of breakfast. Baked Moe's favourite Oatmeal Cookies early this morning. Half plain and half with Callebaut White chocolate and cranberries. In time to have with his first cappuccino.

I agree @scubadoo97, but sometimes having the option of "quick" works. Especially one that tastes just as good. @eugenep, I didn't put a lot of broth in. Just up to the minimum. And the Breville PC is a 6 litre. I had less than two cups of liquid left so I froze it with the solids (garlic, onion). Too good to throw way.

@ptw1953, I baked this morning. I only made eight. Thinking that they would make great burger buns. Thanks again.

I made extra mashed potatoes last night so I could make these potato pancakes for breakfast. Very light as the eggs are separated and the whites beaten and then folded into the potato mixture. Served with Back Bacon and scrambled eggs.

@scubadoo97, I was a little leery the first time I tried it, but was more than pleasantly surprised that they turned out no different that when I did them in the oven. Browning first in cast iron and adding everything including the broth to the PC while hot shortens the time even further. Comes up to pressure quickly and then cooks for 50 minutes. If the shanks are on the large side I increase the time to 52 minutes on the Breville PC. Same with Oxtails. I love the way they turn out in the PC as well.

Thanks @ptw1953 for sharing your recipe. I made a batch of your rolls this morning and they are rising as I type. I think I might go with the 122.5 g. size.

I LOVE lamb shanks. My favourite cut. Lamb Shanks might just be what I would have on the menu if I knew it was going to be my last meal on earth. The last couple of times I've cooked them, I've made them in the Breville PC and they turn out perfectly fork tender in just 50 minutes. I brown first in a cast iron skillet and then place them in the PC while I brown a couple of white onions, a full of head of garlic, cloves just peeled and cracked and seasoned with fresh rosemary and salt and pepper. Added to the PC with some beef broth and a squirt of tomato paste and then cooked at the "bone in meat" setting for 50 minutes.

@ptw1953 you can find the recipe on my blog. http://www.thibeaultstable.com/2019/02/baguettes-with-biga.html You can also make this same recipe using sourdough starter instead of yeast. Would you please share your recipe for your morning rolls.

@ptw1953, beautiful rolls. Are they the same as we call Scottish Bap Buns? Made two pizzas for dinner last night and baked five baguettes with the remaining dough. Sliced this morning.

Mixed up a biga yesterday morning before leaving for work. Last night I added it to a batch of dough that went into the fridge for an overnight fermentation. This was a yeast dough, not a sourdough. Matt took the dough out of the fridge this afternoon so it would be ready to make pizzas for dinner. Made two pizzas and I have five small baguettes still proofing that I will bake tonight. Mushroom and Sausage for Moe and I and a three cheese for Matt. And rather than heat up the grill, the pizzas were baked on a stone in the Oster French Door convection oven.

Made a Tabbouleh Salad and Chicken Souvlaki for dinner tonight.

Made Moe ribs on the grill over indirect heat with the pellet smoking tube yesterday for breakfast and this morning made him a mushroom and spinach omelette.

Still trying to tempt Moe's appetite. Trying to get more protein into him. Steak and eggs for breakfast. With toasted homemade sourdough baguette. He did good. Ate one and a half eggs and 2/3rds of the steak. That should keep him going for a good part of the day while I'm at work.

We had a late lunch. Ground a sirloin steak and made burgers with homemade fries, doubled fried. And I baked an apple pie. Moe's appetite is still off, but you wouldn't know it tonight. He had apple pie and ice cream for dinner.

Sliced this morning.

I need to copy this. I would love that for breakfast. Actually for any meal. Last night's sourdough, toasted this morning for breakfast.

Looks great to me @JoNorvelleWalker. I really love the golden colour. Just out of the oven. Six Sourdough Baguettes.

Halibut Steaks for dinner tonight. Served with a Green Peppercorn Beurre Blanc Sauce.

@ElsieD, When I was a kid, my grandfather was on a salt reduced diet. My grandmother would make salt free bread for him. I loved it buttered and sprinkled with salt. Was your dough really stiff? At only 50% hydration?

Fed my starter last night and made a biga just before going to bed. Here is what they looked like early this morning. Ready to go into a batch of dough.

@JoNorvelleWalker, I love how consistent your loaves are. What hydration are you using?
