MORE!!!!☺️

I wasn't hungry tonight so I made Moe a platter of smoked salmon served with homemade rye bread.

I still had two batches of dough in the fridge since Saturday. Used one of them to bake pizza. Matt made his own four cheese pizza and I made Moe and I a pepperoni and mushroom to share. Baked on the Ooni.

@Dejah, Moe did the same thing. Yours look better.

@Dejah Your soups look spectacular. Portuguese Custard Tarts. Made a quick puff pastry this morning and got it into the fridge early. Moe and I had tarts and coffee for lunch. Saving room for pizza tonight.

Moe's breakfast. Toasted bacon and tomato sandwich on a split baguette.

Dinner for lunch for my Valentine. Spicy Honey Garlic Chicken.

@rotuts and here I thought I was the only one that used canned peas. For me they are a must with hot chicken/turkey sandwiches. Last night's dinner. Lamb shanks.

@ElsieD, great crumb on your "wee loaf". Moe would love your bread with the raisins. Bet it would be wonderful toasted. Unfortunately for him, I don't like raisins. I should make it for him with just the cranberries. Woke up to a major snow storm yesterday morning so I had a snow day. Instead of going to work, I had a bake day. I fed my starter, and mixed up four batches of dough using 50g of discard in each batch. Two 500g of batches, one 750g batch and one batch of rye dough. Baked the rye and the 750 batch late afternoon and the other two batches are in the fridge. One will be baked tonight and the other will be used for pizza on Monday. So two Rye loaves and six baguettes. Moe wanted a couple of slices of the baguette after he had finished dinner. Had to slice while still warm.

The Pickle Barrel was a Jewish Deli. Not sure who Norman was, but if I had to guess it was probably someone that worked at the restaurant at some point and the sandwich, not the tuna was named after him.

Made my favourite tuna sandwich for us both this morning for a late breakfast. The Pickle Barrel restaurant in Toronto called this their Norman Tuna Sandwich. Served on pumpernickel with sliced onion and tomato.

Moe was scrolling through FB early this morning and saw a post about Chicken Fingers. Lucky for him, I had a couple of chicken breasts that had been destined for dinner that became breakfast. Marinated in yogurt with fresh garlic. Flour seasoned with salt, pepper and half a cup of fresh breadcrumbs. Oh and he also wanted french fries.

@Kim Shook I just winged it. So no real recipe. Sauted in butter, shallots, garlic, a little sausage meat, finely chopped mushrooms, fresh bread crumbs, chopped parsley, salt, pepper and seasoned with rubbed sage. Pounded out the veal cutlets, seasoned with salt, pepper and brushed with a little Dijon mustard, spread with filling and rolled. Browned in a little butter. Removed from the pan and made a sauce by sauteing sliced mushrooms, a minced garlic clove, added flour, cooked a couple of minutes, added chicken broth, salt, pepper and put the veal back in the sauce, covered and simmered for about 45 minutes until meat was tender. Added some heavy cream and served.

Chicken Vegetable Rice soup with toasted homemade baguette. Simmered a pot of chicken broth Tuesday, overnight, and then refrigerated all day Wednesday. Scooped off the fat and made a pot of soup before bed last night. Moe had a bowl for breakfast and I'm taking soup to work for lunch.

Saw the recipe for these Salted Caramel Butter Bars on FB last weekend and had a craving since. The recipe calls for caramel candies but I made my homemade caramel sauce. Baked last night and cut this morning to have with a cappuccino.

This was either a late lunch or an early dinner. Stuffed veal rolls in a mushroom sauce served over wide noodles.

@Shelby, great looking loaves. Lovely crust. Wing and Caesar Salad Night. Moe's favourite salad and one I have been making for him for almost 42 years. Dressing starts with a Coddled egg. I almost always make the dressing in this little wooden salad bowl. Was part of a set that had been a wedding gift, but the other bowls are long gone. Wings were Lemon, Sea Salt, Black Pepper and garlic.

Friday night's dinner. Green Curry Chicken. Last night's - Fresh Halibut Served with just fried potatoes.

Sourdough Boule baked in a Dutch Oven. Haven't made a pure sourdough loaf in a while. Mostly because I prefer the flavour of bread with the combination of a small amount of starter with a very small amount (1gram) of yeast. But every so often I make a straight up sourdough. So Monday, I fed my starter and used 70g of the discard in a 500g batch and left it in the fridge for a 50 hour fermentation. Sliced this morning. I love being able to bake a loaf of bread with wild yeast that I "grew" myself. And both Moe and Matt love sourdough.

Moe's Diner!!! Blue Plate Special - Roast Chicken dinner.

Baked Crusty Rolls instead of baguettes last night for ham sandwiches using some of the leftover ham.

Last night's bake. Made Crusty rolls instead of baguettes. Same day bake. 500g flour with 50g of discard and 1g of yeast. Sliced this morning for sandwiches.

@Kim Shook, those look good. I would happily eat those for breakfast. Bought a double smoked ham and roasted it yesterday. Ham dinner for breakfast.

@lemniscate, I froze four unbaked.

At 5:00 AM this morning, I decided to make Apple Turnovers. Moe wanted something sweet. Made a "quick" version of puff pastry and got into the fridge. Then started on the apples, cut up and simmered in butter, sugar (white and brown), a little fresh squeezed lemon juice, pinch of salt, and cinnamon. Cooked until caramelized and then into the freezer for a quick cool. Rolled out half of the puff pastry, cut into four 6" squares, filled with an 1/8th of the apples. brushed turnovers with milk and sprinkled with a little sugar and baked. Drizzled with a brown butter glaze. By 7:30 Moe was enjoying with a second cappuccino. Made four more with the other half of dough and froze them for another day.
