I steam radishes. They remind me of the little white turnips when steamed and buttered.

WOW!!! love your crust.

I started dinner before leaving for work this morning. Indian Chicken curry. Another one of Moe's favourites and one I haven't made in a while. When I got home from work, I put a pot of water to to boil for the basmati rice and put the curry back on the stove , cut up a couple of russet potatoes and added to the curry. And while the potatoes and rice were cooking, made the dough for the Chapati and let it rest. I love chapati with homemade curry. And they are so easy to make. They bake in just a minute or two.

@Katie Meadow, as @Margaret Pilgrim said, gravy is so easy to make. Nothing better than mashed potatoes and gravy. Moe and I both love gravy/sauces. Can't imagine only having gravy once a year. Oh and just for the record, I don't get up early in order to cook.🙂 I just happen to be an early riser and unfortunately that means being wide awake usually between 3 and 4. I don't have to be at work until 10:00 so I might as well cook. So nice to have a variety of fish in the freezer from Walcan Seafood. Pulled a couple of halibut filets out for dinner and made fish and chips. Tempura style beer batter. Homemade tartar sauce on the side.

@heidih, I just watched a video on Julia's stuffed veal breast and unlike that recipe, there is no skill involved in making the stuffed ribs. And not time consuming either. Just a matter of sandwiching the dressing between two racks of ribs.

Breakfast. This is my favourite Cornbread recipe for muffins. Although I have also baked it in a cake pan and a loaf pan in the past. A very tender cornbread.

@rotuts, yes, but in this case since it was just for the two of us, I just used one rack, cut in half.

Hadn't made stuffed baby back ribs in awhile. So that is what we had for dinner last night. Traditional bread stuffing, served with mashed potatoes, gravy, squash and steamed green beans.

Baked Sticky Toffee Puddings thinking they would be for dessert tonight. But Moe decided to have one as his lunch. Served with extra toffee sauce.

Enough dough from the second batch to bake two pizzas last night and two baguettes. Sliced this morning for breakfast.

Pizza tonight. Dough was made Thursday night and left in the fridge until this afternoon. Matt took it out around 2:30 so it would be ready to use when I got home from work. It always needs about three hours to warm up and finish rising. I need a new grill and I really don't care much for the Ooni so this pizza was baked in the oven using the Forkish method combination of 550°F oven and finished under the broiler. Moe and I shared an Italian sausage and mushroom pizza.

Congratulations. Lovely dinner and I love your dishes.

Made Moe blueberry pancakes this morning.

Inspired by @liamsaunt and @Margaret Pilgrim, I pulled Spot Prawns out of the freezer this morning before leaving for work. Made Pappardelle with a simple tomato garlic basil sauce and grilled the prawns. (cast iron grill pan). I wasn't really in the mood for prawns so I just had pasta.

@ElsieD, I'm not a raisin fan, in fact, I really, really don't like them. BUT Moe does. I really should make one for him. And your loaf really looks amazing. Makes me wish I did like raisins. Started two bigas (2 gs yeast) yesterday morning before leaving for work. Last night made two batches of dough. One with the addition of 2 grams of yeast and one without additional yeast. The one with the yeast went immediately into the fridge after the last stretch and fold and the one without additional yeast was left out overnight and baked this morning. Eight baguettes out of the oven by 7:15 AM The one in the fridge is destined for pizza on Saturday night.

Thanks @Shelby, that is how I feel about your fries. Before I left for work this morning I gave Moe some options for dinner. Halibut, Steak or roast beef dinner. Roasted a small Sterling Sliver Top Sirloin roast. Roasted at 500°F for 20 minutes. Rested while the potatoes finished cooking. Served with mashed potatoes, gravy and buttered peas.

@Dejah, No I use dried green peppercorns. I have the same problem with brined peppercorns as I do capers. I just don't like the brine because it imparts a flavour. I don't really care much for anything pickled or brined. Mostly I'm not a fan of vinegar. I've only been able to find fresh peppercorns a few times and it was when we lived in Vancouver. Have not seen them here on the Island. Even dried are hard to come by so I order them from Silk Road Spice Merchants out of Calgary.

@Margaret Pilgrimbeautiful big shrimp. @liamsaunt I had to look up "Cusk". Not a fish I'd heard of before. Is it similar to Lingcod? I love how you prepared it. I have more halibut coming today and I still have some Sablefish in the freezer that will be good served your way. @JoNorvelleWalker this is the best photo of beans. Last night's dinner. Chicken Lemon Piccata with green peppercorns (I hate capers) with roasted potatoes and steamed green beans.

Last night's dinner. Moe's favourites. I've been making this recipe for Chile Rellenos for almost 50 years. Roasted the poblano peppers, and stuffed them with cheese, and made the sauce before leaving for work. Matthew cooked the black beans for me so all I had to do when I got in from work was to make the egg batter and fry the rellenos and I made a fresh salsa to serve with the beans. Fried flour tortillas to make little baskets for the beans.

Made Moe a Spot Prawn salad for dinner.

@Shelby, love your serving dish. @Kim Shook, I just realized that I've never actually posted the dressing recipe on the blog. It is just a traditional bread dressing with onions and celery sauted in butter, then simmered in chicken broth, seasoned with salt, pepper and rubbed sage. Tossed with bread cubes (I cut the bread up the day before and leave to dry overnight. Add some chopped parsley and add a little more chicken broth if needed to make the dressing moist. I bake in a casserole rather than in the turkey.

@Shelby, I always enjoy your catchup posts. Everything looks wonderful, but it is the eggplant that is calling my name.

We had our Thanksgiving dinner tonight. Just one day late. Traditional turkey dinner. Found a fresh small turkey. Just under 8lbs. I presalted it a couple of days ago. Roasted on high heat. Dessert - Apple Crisp.

Steak and Frites with mushrooms and a wine sauce. Presalted a thick NY strip on Saturday. It was suppose to be last night's dinner. Grilled tonight instead and the Thanksgiving turkey dinner I had intended for tonight will be tomorrow's dinner.

@JoNorvelleWalker, nice looking Boule. @Margaret Pilgrim Love the rustic look of your boule. One of the reasons I make smaller baguettes is so that when Moe does what your husband does, I don't mind cutting one of them while still warm. Monday Morning Bake!! Just out of the oven. Started a biga yesterday morning before leaving for work. Made the dough last night (autolyze, stretch and fold method) and left it on the counter from 8:30 pm until 4:00 am this morning. Last baguette was out of the oven before 8:00 am.
