Moe requested Blueberry pancakes for breakfast. I made him giant pancakes using a crepe pan.

Before leaving for work yesterday I boned out a cornish game hen and stuffed it with a wild rice and mushroom stuffing. Roasted it for dinner and served with a port sauce, roasted potatoes, rutabaga and broccoli. My birthday dinner.

Grilled Salmon and Spot Prawns in a garlic lemon butter.

Steak and Frites for dinner tonight. With a wine sauce.

I would love your biscuits and gravy. Moe's breakfast. Scrambled eggs with tomato and bacon. Toasted baguette.

I made two Tiramisu yesterday, one for our Anniversary dinner and one to take to work today. We didn't have room for dessert last night so I finished piping on the whipped cream this morning and Moe had Tiramisu at 5:00 AM this morning with his cappuccino.

Moe and I celebrated our 42nd Anniversary today. Started with toasted baguette with goat cheese and roasted garlic. And Osso Bucco for our main course. Served with a lovely Chianti Riserva. I also made Tiramisu but we decided to save it for tomorrow.

Beautiful boule. Love the colour on your crust. I'm not surprise that your wife loves your bread.

Last night's dinner. My favourite pasta sauce over shells. Been making this sauce for 40 years. Italian sausage and rosemary.

Last night's dinner. Pan seared halibut finished in the CSO at 450° and served with a Caprese Salad. Tomatoes from our garden.

Moe's breakfast yesterday.

@Luke, I hadn't noticed a difference so I add it at the beginning. The last two times, I've actually added the Biga to the container along with the water and stirred that before adding the flour. Made it easier to incorporate.

Luke the flour I use is a Canadian flour - Rogers Silver Star with 13.3 protein. It is one of their commercial flours.

I presalted a small Sterling Silver top sirloin roast on Tuesday. Seared it and then roasted in a 550°F oven for 15 minutes. Left to rest while the potatoes cooked. Dinner was ready 45 minutes after I walked in the door from work.

The Norman tuna sandwich was on the menu at the Pickel Barrel restaurant in Toronto. Usually served on Pumpernickel. I've been promising Moe an apple pie but it has been too hot to bake. It was cool this morning so I had time to bake before leaving for work. Baked mini apple pies. This way he can have one as breakfast dessert as soon as they cool down enough to bite into.

@liamsaunt I love your creations. So colourful. I'm sure the flavours pop like the colours.

@scamhi, I still have spot prawns in the freezer. I think Moe would love your dish. @Kim Shook, what a great way to celebrate Mr. Kim's birthday. A seafood feast. That blueberry cake looks so moist. Oh My, that soup looks so good. Couldn't bake our pizza on the Ooni or the grill because we were having a new roof installed today. So baked ours in the oven using the Forkish oven method. Happy with the crust using same day dough.

@Luke, crumb looks perfect. Started a Biga last night at 9 PM. This morning at 4:00 AM I added the biga to 1000g of flour, 2 grams of yeast, 30g of salt and 680g of water. Around 7:00 AM, after a number of stretch and folds and autolyze rests, the dough was left to rise. Was ready to use at 10:00 AM. I shaped seven baguettes and held back enough dough for two pizzas.

Last night's dinner. I think lamb shanks are my #1 favourite meal.

Made a Norman Tuna Sandwich for sharing on baguette for breakfast. I usually make it on rye or Pumpernickel.

Usually I will have the same thing. But sometimes I cook things just for Moe that he loves and I don't care for. Like scallops. And most breakfasts are just for him because I don't really care for traditional breakfast foods.

Moe's dinner. Seared Hokkaido Scallops in a butter garlic wine sauce.

@Kim Shook, you just need to make sure that there is a little bit of batter coating the berries and then they don't stick to the pan.

Made Moe blueberry pancakes again this morning. This time I added the blueberries to the batter.

Penne and grilled Italian sausage for dinner tonight. With fresh baked baguette.
