Still trying to use up the buttermilk I bought the other day to make the creme fraiche. So this morning I made buttermilk biscuits for breakfast and Moe had them with scrambled eggs and bacon.

I made Korean fried chicken for the first time last week. Moe really liked it so I made it again today using chicken breasts instead of legs. Moe had it for breakfast and I'm taking it for lunch.

I still had the other half of the pasty I made Tuesday for the blueberry galette. Used it this morning to bake a quiche. Bacon, Tomato, two kinds of cheddar and chives. Moe had it for breakfast and I'm thinking of taking a slice for lunch.

I wanted to make a Flammkuchen for dinner one day last week. I needed creme fraiche for it and unfortunately none of our grocery stores carries it. So, I had to make it myself. Finally got around do doing that and it is ready to use. So Flammkuchen was on the menu tonight.

Grilled a NY Strip for dinner tonight. Big enough to for two. Served with roasted potatoes, buttermilk onion rings and grilled zucchini. Inspired by @Shelby, I decided mid-afternoon to bake a Blueberry Galette for dessert

Homemade bagels with cream cheese and smoked salmon for dinner tonight.

I would say not difficult at all. I've been making this recipe since 1981. It is on the blog a number of times including a sourdough version. This is a pictorial I made back in 2009 when I started the blog. https://thibeaultstable.com/2009/07/07/pictorial-how-to-make-bagels/

Thanks @PatrickT. I watched his video. The flavour of this bread sounds amazing. Big fan of brown butter. Bagel day. Made mostly small bagels, some with just poppy seeds and some with both poppy seeds and sesame seeds. Tonight's dinner will be Bagels with smoked salmon and cream cheese.

Linguine and meatballs for dinner tonight.

@rotuts, this is my favourite meatball. Made from ground pork, fresh garlic and fresh basil. I prefer ground pork for a number of things over ground beef. They are browned in olive oil and like most meatballs you could just eat them, but that is another thing I'm picky about. Never cared for the texture of a meatball that wasn't simmered in the sauce. The sauce is a simple tomato sauce. Makes great meatball sandwiches too. And if you have extra you can also mush a few meatballs into the sauce.

Made Moe Migas for breakfast. Matt made corn tortillas yesterday and saved a couple for breakfast.

Got a head start on tonight's dinner. Made my favourite Garlic Basil Meatballs this morning, a mini version, and they are now simmering in the tomato sauce.

I would love your breakfast. And I never peel tomatoes. I like the skin. I made Korean Fried Chicken for Moe's breakfast this morning.

Thai Red Chicken Curry. Another dinner that didn't get made last night got made for breakfast this morning. Moe had it for breakfast and I'll take some for lunch.

This is one of my favourite meals. In fact it always makes it on my list of top five. Oxtails. I often serve it over polenta or with spaetzle. And tonight over mashed potatoes. Thankfully Moe loves this dish too. Needless to say, this is his plate, hence the carrots.

Today's bake. Had dough left from yesterday's batch after baking two pizzas. Shaped and put into the fridge for an overnight rise. Left on the counter for 90 minutes early this morning and baked under the spun iron cloche for 20 minutes and another 5 minutes uncovered.

Pizza tonight. Dough was made this morning. Started it early early around 6:00 AM and after a number of autolyze/stretch and folds, left it out on the counter until 5:00 PM. Matt made a 16 or 17" vegetarian pizza. Moe and I had lunch out so I made just a small 10" pizza for us to share. Baked using the Jim Lahey method of baking pizza on a stone, high up in the oven under the broiler from start to finish. Really like this method.

Father's Day dinner. Grilled burgers and corn on the cob.

Both Moe and I love dates. Definitely going to make this. Just showed it to Moe and he feels the same way. Made Moe a tomato cheddar chive omelette for breakfast.

One of Moe's favourite breakfasts is leftover roast beef with gravy and scrambled eggs. Leftover steak from last night's dinner worked just as well. Also baked eight small baguettes from dough that had been in the fridge since Tuesday. Taken out last night at 8:30 and left on the counter until 4:00 AM this morning.

Another worknight dinner that came together quickly. As soon as I got home I got started by peeling the potatoes and getting them on to cook. Seasoned Sterling Silver top sirloin steaks. One of our favourite roasts is the Sterling Silver top sirloin and the steak didn't disappoint. Tender and full of flavour. When the potatoes were almost cooked, I started cooking the steaks. Pan seared in a hot cast iron pan with a little olive oil and butter. Used the ricer to "mash" the potatoes with butter and cream. While the steak was resting, fried the mushrooms , also in a cast iron pan. I picked the chard from the garden and sauted with butter and a little garlic. There was enough drippings , with the addition of a little more butter to make a roux , added beef broth and a sprig of rosemary and simmered the gravy for a few minutes. We were eating in 50 minutes after I walked in the door.

Last night's dinner. Grilled Italian sausage with penne zitoni rigate.

@Kim Shook, Mr.Kim's chicken looks amazing. Simple, quick and easy work night dinner. Grilled boneless chicken breasts , grilled the bun, spread a pesto mayo that Matt made with his pesto sauce and topped with lettuce from the garden and sliced tomatoes.

I like the 3.5% but it isn't carried in most of the grocery stores. So usually I only have the 1%.

Did you use the 1% Buttermilk or the 3.5%?
