    Dinner! 2014 (Part 2)

    Steve, that pork roast looks incredible. Kim, the rolls certainly look good. As does that chocolate cake. Our St. Patrick's Day dinner. I don't like boiled corned beef so I do our corned brisket in the oven. Coated in lots of black pepper and wrapped in foil. Slow roasted at 250°F for almost six hours. Individual Colcannon with caramelized onions.

    Dinner! 2014 (Part 2)

    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. Made a salad with the baby shrimp Sole was drizzled with browned butter and lemon. I wanted halibut so I felt deprived.
  3. Thanks Diana. Your cinnamon rolls look so perfect. Great photo. 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. 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. Sliced this morning and toasted for breakfast.

    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. Last night's dinner. Roasted a turkey breast.

    I need to start making Moe breakfasts like Huiray's and Sobaaddict. Moe's breakfast. Breakfast Burger with sauteed mushrooms and poached eggs.

    Robirdstx, nice plating. That is a dinner that Moe would love. Homemade pasta. Cappelletti , which I froze. and Tortelloni that I cooked for dinner. Filled with chicken and spinach.

    I've never thought of doing a steak and mushroom pizza, but I must say that looks very appealing. And so does that chicken. Great colour.

    Thanks Scubadoo. Patrick, it is early here on the west coast, but my mouth is watering for your citrus marinated chicken. Friday night's dinner. A quick and easy dinner. Small sterling silver top sirloin roast, presalted the day before and roasted at 500°F. Dinner was ready in less than an hour after I got home from work. Last night's dinner. Another easy meal. Grilled Pork Chops.
  10. Howard, I would probably not increase the yeast. One teaspoon should be sufficient. ~Ann
  11. Howard, when I make a biga, whether it is made with 2 ounces of sour dough starter or with 1/2 teaspoon of yeast, I leave it out on the counter over night and then make the bread in the morning. It should be fine. How much yeast is called for in the rest of the recipe? ~Ann

    Spot Prawn Roe?

    Paul, Lucky you. Spot prawns are my favourite. Short season, only about six weeks, and the season doesn't open here until mid May. Something to look forward to.

    . Great meals on this page. Love the different takes on Caesar salads. We are having roast beef for dinner, but now I am craving chicken. Either Bruce's Country fried, Basquecook's roast chicken or Robirdstx's breaded chicken with garlic sauce. Last night's dinner. Vittorio's Salad with With Greek Ribs. This pizza was actually lunch. I was baking bread and decided to make a pizza with some of the dough. Made a Gougere Wednesday night. It ended up being dinner.
  14. I've been using the same method for years. Loaves that are going to be frozen, are wrapped first in paper towels and then they go into freezer bags. Loaves that are not frozen are usually eaten within 24 to 36 hours. ~Ann

    Shelby I've never had fried pheasant livers, but if they are anything like chicken livers I know that I would love them. Spanish Tapa - Gambas al Ajillo - Garlic Shrimp as a main course. With homemade bread for sopping up the wonderful garlic sauce.
  16. Anna, I would love a slice of your bread toasted. Love toasted cheese bread. Last week I ordered a Lame and three linen couches from the San Francisco Baking Institute. They arrived yesterday, just in time for this week's baking. If anyone is looking for a linen couche, the SFBI had the best prices I could find on the web. I bought the largest size, 31" X 36 at $10.50 each. Used the other half yesterday's (Biga) dough to make two Batards.
  17. Anna, I've never had the Brazilian Cheese Bread. They look so light and airy. Definitely need to try these. Dcarch, the next stone I buy will be one that lets me bake longer baguettes. Fed my two sourdough starters yesterday. One with white and one with rye. Made both a Biga and a Levain. Both were ready to use by late afternoon. Mixed up two batches of dough. One for baguettes using the biga. Used half of the baguette dough and took four baguettes out of the oven just before bed. Sliced this morning.

    Robirdstx, Nice looking bowl of Chili. Slow Roasted Lamb Shank, Greek Style with Fassolakia Iadera.
  19. Great looking pizza Kerry. Good to know that you can leave the dough in the fridge that long. Am I the only one that doesn't like thumbnails? When I click on the thumbnail the screen turns gray but the photo doesn't enlarge. ~Ann

    Kim, I love all your meals. Nothing wrong with lots of carbs. Slow roasted pork belly.

    Perfectly cooked for me Anna, I prefer my eggs, well set. Robirdstk, that is Moe's favourite. And he likes them cooked just like yours. Perfect. Buttermilk Biscuits With Sausage gravy and scrambled eggs.

    Shelby, I love the glasses too. We bought them about 14 years ago in a little antique shop in Buffalo, NY. I have eight of the high ball and eight of the old fashions. They were made by the company Culver Ltd. and this pattern is Mardi Gras. You can find them for sale here..... and on Ebay. Also there is a Pinterest board with all of the various patterns made by this company.
