Looks good enough to Eat.

I baked a loaf of rye bread this past week, been wanting some recently and the stuff on the supermarket shelves is pretty worthless in my opinion. I grew up on Long Island, my folks worked in the city and dad would buy these big loaves of rye from the Jewish bakeries that were really good.

So I found a recipe on the King Arthur Flour website and ordered some of the ingredients from them. This recipe wasn't a sourdough and uses regular yeast but it is a slow rise and not kneaded much. You bake it in a Dutch oven to develop a good crust.

It was really good and I guess I blew any kind of lower carb diet I started this month.

I took some pictures. This one was taken with my Canon R mirrorless camera and a new lens I got from my wife for Christmas, a Lensbaby 56mm Velvet. Gives a sort of dreamy look.

That looks amazing. I'm also reducing carbs but I'll take a corned beef and Swiss please.

fargon · 1/24/2021 3:27 pm

Pastrami and Gouda for me please.

Tonight, Scottish shortbread * 2 (first one pictured, doesn't look like that any more, always bake two because first somehow seems to mysteriously evaporate) and a blueberry upside-down pudding kind of a thing/experiment. pictured fresh out of the oven, was not particularly co-operative in later inversion attempts so maybe renamed blueberry fruit-on-the-bottom pudding. I was using up blueberries a certain dear relative requested because they really really wanted to make blueberry muffins ...then they didn't :/ Basically blueberries and brown sugar in the bottom of the dish then covered with sponge cake mixture/pound cake batter (I'm bilingual, you know ;) )

cheeseburger pie!

glatt · 2/03/2021 3:30 pm

That looks so good. We call that cheeseburger pie, and it's one of my favorites. What do you call it?

Limey · 2/03/2021 3:59 pm

Cheeseburger pie 😁.
It’s from an American recipe I got from Wolf on some other forum.

fargon · 2/03/2021 6:32 pm

Yummy!

bbro · 2/03/2021 6:56 pm

Looks tasty Limey!! I made these again. They looked completely different this time, but I haven't taken pictures It's a recipe I go back to again and again (bonus shaved Tess in the background)

monster · 2/03/2021 9:32 pm

Roast chicken, roast potatoes, steamed broccoli and gravy. But I was too hungry to take pix :D

bbro · 2/22/2021 6:57 pm

I made orange chicken again, but I didn't feel like making meatballs, so I just cut it up

Another version of sheet pan breakfast

Slow cooked chicken

Chicken, asparagus, spaetzle, and coleslaw tonight

Last week, I made some fried pork chops. I didn't use as much oil as I'd like, but I'm trying to be healthy

A while ago (but never posted), I made a pizza with yogurt dough. Not bad, but could definitely use some improvements

Also - bonus chicken biscuit from an awesome place. Since it was my birthday, I got bacon and cheese on it.

Last night's dinner: Cod in Parsley sauce with potatoes and peas. Not very fancy, but yum

griff · 2/23/2021 7:01 am

I've been enjoying simple foods more lately.

monster · 2/23/2021 8:38 am

just the cooking is a victory, tbh. i bought a bunch of parsley to tempt myself. Way too many spuds, but cooking for one.... :/

Fried spuds for breakfast?

There are some days that the last thing I want to do is cook. It's just me, too. It helps me to cook once or twice a week (depending on the food). Then, I can just reheat it

that happens sometimes........ I have been known to deliberately cook too many :D

Just as a point of self-congratulation, I also cooked rainbow trout with asparagus and pasta, and an enormous pot of Bol last week, so I was rockin' it :D

(dinner today was pasta-bol with kale :D )

monster · 2/26/2021 10:27 pm

last night, I baked orange cake

today, I ate most of it. It's delicious. I kind of feel I should take slices to share with my friends after our walk tomorrow but... well... it's delicious....

bbro · 2/27/2021 9:02 am

Looks delicious!
