I made the dough Wednesday morning before leaving for work. 1200g batch with discard from sourdough feed, plus just 1g of yeast. Left on the counter for a long slow rise. Baked Wednesday night. Three boules, and four baguettes and gave Matt enough dough for a full size pizza. Sliced yesterday morning.

@pastameshugana, you can find the recipe on my blog here: https://thibeaultstable.wordpress.com/2015/07/14/raspberry-scones/ Moe had a bowl of local blueberries and yogurt early and later requested a piece of toast. I offered to make eggs, but he just wanted toast.

My idea of breakfast. Scones and a cappuccino. I love red currant scones. I can't always find fresh red or black currants. Found some red at the Farmer's Market last week and bought some to freeze.

Thanks @Okanagancook.

Celebrated our 41st Anniversary with duck breast for dinner.

Made Chicken Souvlaki for dinner last night. Served with rice, Greek Salad and tzatziki. An easy work night dinner. Put the water on to boil for the rice (I cook rice like pasta), cut up the chicken breasts and marinated them with garlic, oregano, salt, pepper and the juice of a lemon. When the rice was "al dente" it was drained and put it back in the pot, covered with paper towels and the lid and left to steam. The Souvlaki went on to a hot preheated grill and while it was cooking, I made the Greek salad and the Tzatziki sauce. We were eating in less than an hour after I got home from work.

Moe's breakfast. An omelette as requested.

@Keri AH, I've never timed it, but I will the next time I use the oven.

Moe's breakfast. Ham, Cheddar and Chive Omelette.

@heidih according to the side of the bowl it is a Estonian Proverb.

Yesterday's bake. Started early in the day with just 40g of discard and 2g of yeast in 1200g of flour at 78% hydration. Slow rise until 6:30 PM. Last loaf was out of the oven just after 9:00 PM. Three boules, three baguettes and enough dough saved for Matt himself a pizza today. Sliced this morning.

Moe had toasted baguette and a bowl of blueberries for breakfast this morning. Bread was baked last night. Local blueberries.

We had dinner for breakfast on Sunday and didn't want a big dinner so we had dessert only. Peach Shortcake. And last night I roasted a small Sterling Silver top sirloin as an excuse to have mashed potatoes and gravy and Yorkshire Pudding.

Spicy Honey Garlic Chicken with fried rice. Moe's breakfast and I'm taking it to work for lunch.

Thanks @Margaret Pilgrim, and yes you are right. Soft boiled (although I steam them rather than "boil" them. Moe likes them at 3 to 4 minutes depending on the size of the egg.

Haven't baked in a couple of weeks. Been too hot. Yesterday's bake. Boules instead of baguettes. Same day bake. Fed my starters which hadn't be fed in weeks. Used 40g of unfed starter and two grams of yeast, in one 750g batch for pizza and the same in a 1000g batch for the bread. Dough made in the morning and left on the counter for a slow rise until early evening.

Matt's three cheese pizza and Moe and I had our regular Italian sausage and mushroom.

Moe's breakfast. Steamed for 4 minutes.

This was either a late lunch or an early dinner. We went into Victoria yesterday and had planned to have lunch, but the place I wanted to eat at was closed on Tuesday. So on the way home I stopped and picked up a small Sterling Silver prime rib. Just big enough for two slices. Cooked on the grill and served with roasted potatoes, and the first local corn of the season. Green beans were also local.

Picked up five pounds of BC Spot Prawns yesterday down at the dock in Cowichan Bay. Four lbs are in the freezer and one became last night's dinner. A favourite Spanish tapa. Garlic prawns. With homemade baguette for sopping up all the sauce.

Last night's dinner. Got home from work at 5:40 and we were eating at 6:25. Veal Scallopini in a sauce with mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, and Kalamata olives. And spaghetti in a light pesto sauce. Matt made the pesto from basil out of our garden. Quick and easy dinner.

@Shelby, you must have amazing will power. I could never eat just one wing.

Tonight's dinner. Fresh halibut, grilled and served with a fresh tomato and kalamata salsa with garlic, fresh basil, lemon zest, salt, pepper and olive oil.

Made toasted club house sandwiches. Roasted chicken breast, lettuce, tomatoes and bacon. A favourite.

I roasted a small prime rib this morning and made Moe a beef dip sandwich with homemade potato chips. I'm working today so this should keep him going for the day.
