  1. Cooked a small prime rib before going to work.

    Made Prime Rib sandwiches topped with caramelized onions, a little gravy and a sour cream horseradish sauce.   

    On homemade buns.

    With potato wedges cooked in the CSO on Steam Bake setting.  Couldn't believe how good they were.

    And they took less than 30 minutes.

    Beef Stew ~ made in my Instant Pot

     

     

    Great looking stew.   Just the way I like it.  Brothy rather than a thick gravy.

    This was suppose to be dessert but ended up being dinner. Put a pan of my favourite Decadent Brownies in the oven when I got home from work Sunday

    and made Warm Brownie and Banana Splits using the caramel sauce I had leftover from the apple dumplings.

  3. Woke up Tuesday morning to a snow storm. Ground was already covered when I looked out at 4:00AM and it was coming down heavy.

     

    I had taken one of Monday's batches of dough out early and it was shaped and proofing and just about ready to bake when the power went off. Hoping that the power wouldn't be off long, I put the proofing loaves out of the back porch hoping to stall the proofing. Unfortunately the power was still off at mid afternoon.   (Off for 24 hours.  Came on again at 9:00 Wednesday morning. ) 


    It had finally stopped snowing mid afternoon and the roads had been plowed. So I headed out to get my spare propane tank filled, just in case I had to cook dinner on the grill and I wanted to make sure I had enough propane to bake the bread.

     

    Wasn't sure if the bread was a lost cause or not, but I figured I had nothing to lose and I hated to waste a two day batch of dough. 

     

    Bread went on the grill just after 5:00.

  4. I really enjoy cooking dinner in the morning. Lots of time to cook when you wake up between  3:00 AM and 4:00 AM and don't have to leave for work until 9:30.

     

    I had planned on making this for dinner Friday night,  but wasn't really hungry and Moe was happy with a glass of wine and some cheese and baguette. So.........

    I made it for breakfast Saturday.

    Chicken Breasts Perigord. An old favourite. I've been making this recipe for almost 30 years. It is a Lucy Waverman recipe from her 1989 Seasonal Canadian Cookbook.

    A mushroom Duxelle is stuffed under the skin.

    Served with Stuffed Zucchini Tambourines and fried potato balls. Fried them instead of making Potato Parisienne the traditional way.

  5. Moe had one of the apple dumplings  very early this morning with his cappuccino.  

     

    So, he wasn't overly hungry for a big breakfast later.   Just wanted toasted baguette.

    Sliced one of the baguettes that was baked on Tuesday.

    I had cut up a whole chicken Monday, and used one of the breasts. Presalted the legs and the other breast.

    I was planning on roasting them for dinner tonight but instead I cut the breast into two pieces and separated the leg and thigh and made fried chicken for breakfast.

    Fried in a cast iron skillet, oil at 360°F. to Internal temperature of 165°. Drained on paper towels and put on a rack in a low oven to stay warm while the remaining pieces and the vegetables cooked.

     

    Best reason to make fried chicken is for the cream gravy. Seasoned with lots of black pepper and rubbed sage.

  9. Shelby, I like the idea of the croissants used in a strata.

     

    Moe's breakfast.  Soft boiled (steamed) eggs with buttered toast fingers.

    I think this is actually his favourite way to eat eggs and yet it is my least favourite to make.

    And you are already an expert!!!  Wow, such beautiful breads.

     

    Thanks Linda.

     

    Had enough dough leftover over from a batch that had been in the fridge since Friday to bake a small loaf last night.

  11. Made pizza last night from dough that had been in the fridge since Friday.  Enough leftover to bake another little  loaf in the CSO . 

    I hope the larger stone will arrive this week so I can bake longer loaves.

    Does a nice job on the crust without having to spray or toss ice cubes into the bottom of the oven.

  12. Great looking baguettes Norm.

    Tonight's Dinner  - Pizza

    Dough was made on Friday with the intention of baking bread.   Instead I made a large 17" pizza with enough dough left for a small loaf.

    Pizza was baked on the grill.

  13. So many wonderful dinners on this page.

     

    @Blue_Dolphins, pasta and garlic bread.  @Norm Matthews, beautiful steaks,  @Chefmd,'s golden bird, @Anna's perfectly cooked duck breasts. ( I love your choice of zucchini )

    and @HungryChris's oysters.   It is still early here on the west coast and I'm craving those oysters.
