    I also have a batch of sourdough that I started this morning.

     

    I have neglected my sourdough starter for months.
    I don't think I have fed it since October.

    Pulled it out yesterday morning and got started. Poured off the hooch and retained 6 oz of starter. Gave it a good stir and fed it with 3 ounces of fresh milled Canadian organic rye flour and three ounces of spring water.

    I was expecting to have to feed it a number of times before it got active, but it actually doubled in six hours. It was slow starting but once it got going it took off.

    I fed it again last night and used some of the discard to make a biga/preferment. This morning it was ready to use so I started a batch of sourdough. Not sure if I will bake today or wait until tomorrow.

    Ann, everything you make looks wonderful.  But your bread is truly amazing.  Whenever you post it, I just want to sit down with a plate of hot, buttered toast and eat 'til I fall over.  

     

    Thanks @Kim Shook 

    You know that I feel the same way about your meals.   I think that we cook very similar.

     

     

    Anyone that knows me, knows that I don't like salads. Never have.

    I can make them, but I just don't get any satisfaction out of eating a salad.

    But Moe loves salads.

    Breakfast Salad February 13th, 2017 1.jpg

     

    So I decided to be a good wife this morning and make him a "breakfast salad".

     

    Breakfast Salad February 13th, 2017.jpg

    Salad comprised of fried potatoes, bacon, tomatoes, avocado and red onion. Topped with a poached egg. And garlic croutons made from my homemade baguette.

    He loved it.

  4. Had a batch of dough on the go since yesterday so baked a couple of baguettes and baked a couple of pizzas.

    One for Matt and one for Moe and I to share.

    Ours was topped with fresh mozzarella di bufala, mushrooms and pepperoni (made by a friend of a friend).

    Steamed baby back ribs  with fermented black beans January 24th, 2017.jpg

     

    . Steamed ribs with fermented black beans. I used baby back ribs. Had the butcher cut them lengthwise and then I just cut them into bite size pieces.

    I'm only able to "Like" once, but that looks wonderful. More details on the Greek chicken. please.

     

    Liuzhou,  I seasoned like I would for chicken souvlaki, but rather than cut into cubes I just grilled the breast whole.

     Recipe is on my blog

    Went out deep sea fishing yesterday.  50 mi. offshore fishing in 130-150 ft water.   Got rougher than predicted. Areas with structure were less than stellar.   Small legal snapper caught made a great ceviche on the boat.  Done two ways. Asian and Mexican.  A few legal lane snappers made its way home

    Scubadoo,   I'm thinking of cooking fresh sole for Moe tonight.  I can't tell if your fish has a light batter on it or if you just dipped it in flour.

    Could you please share how you cooked the flounder?
