  1. Steamed Moe "soft boiled" eggs for breakfast and steamed one, two minutes longer for me.

    Wanted mine in-between soft and hard.

    The eggs were local farm fresh eggs. 
    Even this semi-soft steamed was easy to peel

  2. Liuzhou, I owe you a thank you.    So glad I saw your fried rice this morning.  Looks so good.  And it pushed me to make chicken fried rice  to take for lunch.   I had leftover rice  from last night's dinner and three boneless chicken breasts in the fridge.  Two of which were destined for tonight's dinner.    So I used one of the breasts, thinly sliced, marinated in  Shaoxing wine, sesame oil and cornstarch for about 25 minutes.   Sautéed the chicken in the wok.  Finished with Onions, garlic, ginger, green onions, peas and egg.   Had to resist eating it for breakfast.

    Many thanks for your kind comment.  I have adored your pictures on this thread for a very long time.  These days all my bread recipes come from Eric Kayser's book that I know other readers have criticised. This for using yeast in addition to sourdough but for me every recipe I have tried from that book has given wonderful results.  Before Kayser I used the Forkish book and also had some great results but without the predictability of Kayser.  I'm happy I have both and have learnt a great deal from each.

     

    Happy Baking! 

     

    Thanks Diana.  

    I often add 60 to 100g of discarded  starter to a batch of yeast dough.  I reduce the yeast from 4 g to 2g if I am going to put the dough in the fridge overnight. It enhances the flavour and texture but without tasting like sourdough.

    Just ignore any of those that criticise.   Bake what makes you happy.

    The second batch, was a yeast dough that I also added 60g of discarded starter. Handmixed using the stretch and fold method and baked same day.

     

    My husband came home just as I was taking the baguettes out of the oven and was looking for lunch.

     So this baguette was sliced while still hot. Less than five minutes out of the oven.

    Marinated earlier in the day with garlic, lemon zest, oregano, salt, pepper, and olive oil.  About an hour or so before grilling added the juice of a whole lemon.

    One of my favourite fish, halibut. Made a batch of Vietnamese fish sauce to go with the fish today and tomorrow (brill).

    My favourite fish too. Love the way you prepared it.

      I've never seen a halibut that small. 

     

  13. Inspired by Jvalentino to make chicken souvlaki.  Usually I do not add onion or green pepper to the skewers, but I had a craving for charred onions and peppers.

  14. Blue Dolphin, what a great idea. Moe would love sausage rolled in pancakes.  I'll try and remember to do that next time.
