Poor photograph but I bought some radishes tonight and they came with greens that were still vibrant. I quickly sautéed them in some garlic oil and topped them with some leftover rotisserie chicken.

As soon as I get the airfare together and can make it to your house.

How did you like it?

Modernist Bread: French Lean Bread (MB Contest Topic #1)
Anna N replied to a topic in Pastry & Baking
Nice. I am quite concerned about the oven temperatures and the recommended baking time. Mine is proofing right now but life got in the way of following times exactly so it spent many hours in the fridge. -
The lady who lunches with me is home for just three days after returning from Paris and before flying off to Seattle! As she attempts to minimize the effects of jet lag, today was a day when protein was required for lunch. We spotted a new Nandos in Burlington and decided that it would serve our purpose. 1/4 Chicken dark meat with lime and mango sauce and a Caesar salad for Kerry. The same cut of chicken for me but with a lemon and herb sauce and I opted for some sautéed spinach as a side.

I suspect the best we can do is agree to disagree. I hope it remains a world that can accommodate traditionalists as well as modernists.

Modernist Bread: French Lean Bread (MB Contest Topic #1)
Anna N replied to a topic in Pastry & Baking
Not that I’ve seen so far but there’s an awful lot of reading matter here and I’ve only scratched the surface. -
Just thought it was worthwhile to mention that the just released Modernist Bread has a good section on bread machines and provides recipes for quite a number of breads. Have not really dug into the section yet but I thought it worth mentioning. Edited to add: please let’s not take this off topic. If you have questions please start another topic.

Yes I have had various machines in my life and my current one, a Zo, is out on loan. It was a thrift store find but I had to buy a paddle for it.

Mortadella on toasted ciabbata with hot mustard and my usual black coffee.

Lazy dinner — thigh from a Costco rotisserie chicken and roasted buttercup squash.

Volume 5, page 120.

No worries — they offer a non-modernist recipe too.

That must be some new kind of alchemy?

They also handily provide a table to convert lower protein flours to bread flour using vital gluten. -
I was just given some passion berries from Ethiopia and some Timur pepper from Kathmandu. Fabulous.

That pork chop looks amazing and I do envy you the broccolini.
-
Sheesh. At that price I’d be experimenting too.

I think bread machines are one of the biggest bargains you can find in a thrift shop here. Just make sure the paddles are there and that the nonstick bowl is in good shape and you usually are getting away with very little money for a very good machine. Seems to be one of those machines that are either bought or gifted and quickly abandoned.

If you are going to smash them then five minutes with a 10 minute release should do just fine. I would’ve preferred them with a little more bite in a salad.

Toasted ciabatta with crumbled Danish blue.

Everyone needs friends like I have. What a wonderful world that would be. The materialistic evidence is only the icing on the cake.

Potato, egg and tomato salad (Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall) mostly made in the Instant Pot. I cooked the small marble size potatoes and the large eggs together on low-pressure for five minutes with a 10 minute slow release. The potatoes were just a little overcooked. They were much smaller than those that I usually find in my grocery order. The ones that are twice or three times this size should work out just fine. This is a non-mayonnaise-based potato salad which I quite enjoyed.

Sometimes, not often, it pays to be Canadian.

Lots and lots of reading ahead and I hope lots of baking. Stay tuned for developments.
