That looks good. I need to try a semolina bread one of these days. I love it for pizza dough, not sure why I haven't connected that to bread.

They snarfed it down in no time - but I think it needed more salt in the dough.

They sound like graduate students!

Brought along the baked beans I had made with the Father's Bacon seasoning - gave them a few more minutes in the IP as they were a titch underdone 

 

 

Made Boston Brown bread in the IP last night.

 

 

 

Here it is sliced - very tasty!

 

 

Also made a pullman loaf at work today 

 

 

And for myself I made some greens using a much smaller quantity of the Father's bacon seasoning, some onions, garlic and chicken stock, also in the instant pot.

Got a recipe, or a link, for this? It looks good.

Here is where the recipe comes from - it's the CC recipe but you need to go down a few posts to link to the Saveur recipe.

Steamed some asparagus in the CSO - made bernaise in microwave.

[Kerry Beal]

Made some modernist pain rustique 

 

 

and for dinner a pork chop and some white turnips

I worked Monday - it was a total shit show - lucky I got fed at all. But managed to throw together some cornbread and roasted a chicken for lunch in the CSO. (They were $1.99/lb at Sobeys - couldn’t leave it behind)

 

 

 

Today was a little more civilized - I made more cornbread. One of the other docs had left some bananas in the call room - they were at a perfect age to make a couple of loaves of buttermilk quickbread. 

 

 

 

 Heated some chicken rice soup for lunch with some applewood smoked cheese from Beehive Cheese. 

 

 

 

 

For dinner - chicken thighs with caramelized shallots (make that scallions cause that’s what I had)!

 

Couple of pics from the drive home

Oh, Kerry.....this takes me back to my childhood!!!!!

Many, many times this was Sunday supper in the winter.

It has been a bit of a shift from hell. I’ve managed to get a couple of minutes to call my own and I went looking through what I have in the call room that I could bake with. I had some whipping cream in the fridge I had some French’s  onions and I had some smoked cheddar. Thought I would make tiki docs cream scones using those ingredients.

They are going down well - nurse BJ says they appeal to her hillbilly tastes

 Reheating some picanha fat first

Ingenuity, yes and they do look delicious... but I was thinking more along the lines of only Kerry would get a short break in a long and busy shift at work and spend it seeing if she could find herself some more work to do. 

[Kerry Beal]

Still a bit rare - but good

Yes it is - on sale at Denningers. Made the guy haul all they had out of the cooler to pick the best marbled one with the biggest fat cap. We need some for our trip north!

Bone marrow for the gang.

I saw this sequence of photos. And my first thought upon seeing the second, with the burrata, tomatoes, and sausage: Damn, that's a weird ice cream sundae!

Someone left cherries in the nurses break room - so it seemed a summer torte would be a good option

 

 

 

[Kerry Beal]

 

Boccocini, grape tomatoes, olives - forgot the basil in the fridge!

[Kerry Beal]

 

Duck and green beans - deglazed the pan with Saba flavoured with peach, mounted with butter. Ended up with about 3/4 cup of duck fat.

Are those break room finds hints or just happy coincidences?

Nobody knows who had put them there so I think it was a happy coincidence.

Had some bananas at home that were at banana bread stage - made a couple of small loaves.

 

 

Green beans with tomatoes and onions - used IP for this.
