Yesterday's bread. Host's note: this delicious topic is continued in The Bread Topic (2015-).

Anna, a perfect poached egg. Made Moe scrambled egg with tomato for breakfast today. With toasted homemade sourdough. Bread came out of the oven late last night.

Today's breakfast. Poached eggs on home-made toasted baguette. Local farm fresh eggs. Yesterday's breakfast. Caramelized onions, spinach and cheese omelette.

Norm, two beautiful baguettes. Nice golden colour.

Double batch today. Small baguettes and small boules.

Adapted standard recipe to make a caramelized onion and poppyseed version. Came out of the oven late evening. Husband and son both had warm buttered slices as bed time snack.

Today's bread. Four baguettes. Dough was hand-mixed yesterday and refrigerated until this morning. 750g flour, 525g water (70% ) 4g yeast, 22g salt.

Shelby, Happy Belated Birthday. You made one of my favourite cakes. Love Boston Cream. Hope you had a wonderful day. Yesterday was our Canadian Thanksgiving. Made an apple pie for dessert. Ready for the oven. Hand cut the leaves for a top crust. Just out of the oven.

Shelby, great looking buns. That is a very good recipe. I like that you were generous with the seeds. Last Thursday's bread. Two batches, both 750g at 70% hydration. Four baguettes from my regular high protein flour and the Boule from half regular and half double 00. Made a focaccia with some of the Double 00 batch. Topped with roasted little Italian tomatoes, kalamata olives and mushrooms.

Shelby, I'm really enjoying following you this week. Especially love all the tomatoes . Moe always says that I haven't met a tomato I didn't like. My favourite season. I'm happy to eat a tomato like an apple with salt and pepper grinder in hand. I'm with your husband though. I like the peel. Look forward to the rest of the week. ~Ann

I so agree. Mexican twice this week. Last night - Chicken Enchiladas. Homemade corn tortillas and enchilada sauce. And last weekend we had hard shell tacos. Because sometimes only a hard shell taco will do.

Double batch at 750g flour , 75% hydration. Four smaller baguettes, one dragon tail baguette and two with cheese.

Two pizzas last night. One for my son topped with olives, yellow tomatoes and fresh basil. Rim crust And one for Moe and I Topped with spicy Italian sausage and olives. Rim

Above was yesterday's breakfast. And today's. Soft boiled eggs with toast fingers.

Mushroom and Spinach Omelette. Fresh Eggs - free range from the farm stand just around the corner. Toasted home-made baguette.

Bread and Pasta. My favourite pasta sauce - Italian Sausage and Rosemary.

Made dinner Saturday for our neighbours. Boneless chicken breasts with skin on, stuffed with mushroom duxelles. (Two stuffed with sage dressing because someone didn't like mushrooms). Ready for the oven. Prepared to this point in the morning before leaving for work. Served with a wine and green peppercorn sauce.

Mixed up two 750g (70%) batches of dough on Monday. Took one out of the fridge to bake last night. Used some of the dough in a pizza and the rest in two baguettes. Sliced this morning.

WOW Liuzhou. What a feast.

Two pizzas last night. Baked on the grill in the Bakerstone oven. Italian Sausage and Mushroom. Rim. Greek Potato, Feta and Kalamata Olive. Crust.

So many beautiful desserts. Panaderia Canadiense, I'm in awe. You are amazing. Franci, beautiful cake. It is tradition to always have a cake with strawberries for my husband's birthday. Love the white chocolate combined with strawberries. Blueberries are in season so I baked a pie.

Thanks Smithy, It has been almost too hot to bake bread. But since I was just about out of bread, down to the last small round in the freezer, I caved on Thursday and baked a double batch. Left the second batch in a little longer for a darker crust. Unintentionally. Should get us through until next week when it is suppose to cool off a bit. Since I was already going to have the oven on, I also baked a blueberry pie. Thanks BonVivant. Maybe I will try braising next time. Porterhouse steak - 1 3/4 pounds to share three ways. Potatoes were cooked in cream with garlic and fresh thyme. Starch from the russetts thickened the sauce. Added fresh shelled peas at the end with a little parmesan cheese. I blackened poblano peppers on the grill for chile rellenos. Roasted tomatoes and jalapeño peppers also on the grill for the tomato chili sauce. And cooked a pot of pinto beans.

BonVivant, I would have been happier with your lamb dinner. Couple of dinners from earlier in the week. I finally found a cut of lamb that I'm not that keen on. Lamb breast/riblets. I still have a few cuts of lamb from a whole one in the freezer. Greek style. Grilled. We have been having a very hot summer here on the west coast of Canada. I have four pots of basil that are thriving. So...... Fettuccine in a pesto sauce with grilled Italian sausage.

Liamsaunt, Oh My!!! it is just after 6:00 am and I want clams. Great photo. I'm imagining sopping up all that wonderful broth with that bread. We had an Indian curry dinner. A simple chicken curry with potatoes, lentils, basmati rice and homemade chapati.

Liuzhou, that is one great looking burger. Warm Caprese Salad. Tomatoes were wrapped in prosciutto, drizzled with olive oil and roasted at 400°F for 25 to 30 minutes or until the prosciutto started to get crispy. Served with fresh mozzarella. Drizzled with a fresh basil, garlic and olive oil dressing.
