Dinner last night: Spatchcocked Cornish Game Hen roasted in the oven along with Stove Tope stuffing and Bisto gravy.

I've heard from a couple of sources who've built their outdoor ovens that they're are really not practical because it takes an enormous of time to get them up to the proper temperature. None of my own personal experience.

Today's lunch, Chicken salad with craisins on Amish whole wheat bread.

Says you. I'd do much better with Minnesota's cold.

My Mom always use that to make our SOS which I loved.

This probably could have gone into the 'Ill never again' thread. I made the mistake of buying a 1# bag of luscious cashew from Nuts.com. Took me no time to finish them off.

@JoNorvelleWalker, For larger loaves I've seen coverings like produce bags or the plastic grocery bags used. I think it's important to cover the loaves. Sometimes I've just used a large damp dish towel.

The very first thing I'm going to do is locate some Everclear!!!

What kind of oven do you have that goes to 550 degrees?

Extra Toasty Cheez-its are the best!

I caved and bought the Challenger! It's not that bad to lift though I do one piece at a time. Now I have my work cut out to learn to make some beautiful baguettes. My first attempt will be later this week. Still working on my sourdough starter. (Image is from the Challenger website - https://challengerbreadware.com

Anyone thinking about getting an Ooni? 20% off starting today.

Cold here and getting colder (2F) and getting colder with more snow cooming. Last night's dinner was Polish Cabbage Soup, an old favorite recipe of my Mom's. Pure comfort served with fresh dinner rolls.

since it is quite frigid here, thanks to out neighbors to the North, I will be making chicken and dumplings for dinner. 7F/-13.8C this morning and getting colder tonight.

How did they taste? 😆

I have this one and it is the best!

I didn't like it either.

When I used to make this years ago I put uncooked rice underneath. It was good.

I'm thinking along the lines of only having to lift a half of the beast at a time.

Agreed. I tried it a while back and found it to be truly dreadful. Lesson learned. I just received this from Amazon and plan to try it soon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007EYJRKO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

If I ever am able to produce loaves like yours I reward myself with a Challenger. But I have a long way to go.
