  1. Ann_T - looks like it was delicious! Only downside is the house does smell of onions for a few days… whew! 

     

    Patrick, I'll let you know. Just put it on to simmer this morning before leaving for work.  We will be having it for dinner tonight.

     

     

    Could be worse ;).

     

    I agree Scubadoo.

  2. Robirdstx,  great looking burger.  If I hadn't got a head start on dinner already, that is what I would be having tonight.

     

    Patrickamory,  Chicken Dopiaza, was not a dish I was familiar with.   But as soon as I saw your pictures, I knew it would be something that we would love.  Especially Moe.  He loves onions.  So thanks to you I have dinner almost cooked.

    When I get home tonight, all I have to do is  add the onions,  reheat and make the sides.   Thank you.

  3. Anna, Moe would love all of your breakfasts. And I'm a pepper fan. Even carry a grinder in my purse.   I need to see if anyone around here carries Voatsiperifery pepper.

    Made a double batch of dough Wednesday. Both with sourdough bigas.  One was all white and the other was a rye biga. But both batches of bread were made with white flour. Baked on Thursday.

     

    I still have half a batch left that will be baked on the weekend.

  7. Tyler, Nice looking Brioche.

     

    Diana, beautiful loaf.  I actually like your slashing. Nice pattern.

     

    I fed my sourdough starters yesterday and also made a sourdough biga.  Kneaded up the dough last night and after the first rise it went into the fridge.  Pulled out this morning.

  8. Dejah, First halibut of the season, I  seasoned with just salt and pepper, seared on one side and then finished in a hot oven.   You would have been okay adding a little Parmesan to the crumbs.  I use fresh bread crumbs rather than panko to bread halibut, seasoned with Parmesan and lemon zest.   Cooked the same way, browned and then finished in the oven (if the piece is thick).

     

    Your halibut looks perfectly cooked.  So moist.

  9. That is a thing of rare beauty, Ann_T. And I bet it tasted as good as it looks.

     

    Absolutely beautiful Ann

     Thanks Liuzhou and Scubadoo.

     

    SobaAddict,  What a pretty salad photo.  And a perfectly cooked egg.

     

    Bruce, that soup looks delicious.  Wish I was having that for lunch.

  10. Thanks Dejah.  Aloo Gobi is an all time favourite.   I've never had Aloo Methi.  It really looks good.  So does that cumin beef.

     

    Robirdstx,  that soup looks like a bowl of comfort. 

     

    Norm, I like the sides you served with the chicken.

     

    Grilled a large Porterhouse Steak tonight. We split it.  Moe got the strip.

  12. Steve, that pork roast looks incredible.

     

    Kim, the rolls certainly look good.  As does that chocolate cake.

    I don't like boiled corned beef so I do our corned brisket in the oven.

    BBQ Pulled Pork on a Toasted Onion Roll with Onion, Dill Pickle and Deli Mustard

    I would eat this for breakfast.   That is one of the best pictures of a Pulled Pork Sandwich EVER.

     

    Paul, Your halibut cake looks delicious. Nice crust.

     

    I stopped on the way home from work yesterday at  Cowichan Bay Seafood to pick up fresh halibut.  The first of the season.  Unfortunately, I hadn't called ahead and they were sold out.  So I picked up some Pacific Dover Sole and handpicked baby shrimp.   Both favourites of Moe's.

    Your cinnamon rolls look so perfect.  Great photo.

     

    Sourdough%20Starter%20Fed%20March%2012th

     

    I fed my sourdough starters on Wednesday.  They hadn't been fed for 9 days.  One was fed with a combination of white and rye and the other with just white.  Both had almost doubled within three hours.  I used two ounces of the leftover starter to make a Biga. The Biga had more than doubled by early evening so I kneaded up a batch of bread dough and after the first rise it went into the fridge overnight.  This was a pure wild yeast sourdough.  Without the addition of commercial yeast.

     

    Wild%20Yeast%20Sourdough%20March%2013th%

    Taken out about 3:00 PM and allowed to come to room temperature before shaping into two baguettes and one Boule. 

    The bread came out of the oven late, and was left loosely covered with a tea towel overnight.

  15. Thanks Max.

     

    Anna, your method for cooking fish, is one I will try.  Moe loves Petrale sole.  This would be a very easy and quick meal on a work night.  I've been buying asparagus from Mexico the last couple of weeks and it has been surprising good.

     

    MM, those potatoes look wonderful.
