What's For Dinner?

Sounds absolutely delicious, Troutman.

 

I love homemade bread, but I don't make it anymore. There is no really warm place that i can place the dough for it to rise.

 

It should be fine at room temp.

 

We don't live in a normal house. I freeze in this antiquated mobile home. It has no insulation, so room temperature isn't much different from the temp outside. :)

Not a HUGE fan of pork chops, but they had thick cut porterhouse chops onsale for $2.29... thought I'd give them a shot. I rubbed them with a super thin layer of yellow mustard, and then covered in my favorite rib rub. Tossed them on a hot hot grill with coals only on half, seared one side, seared the other and then put them on the non-coal side to finish cooking. Threw a pat of butter on top of each one to keep it nice and juicy. Damn, these were some of the best chops I have ever had. Served with oven browned potatoes, corn on the cob, and the highlight... homemade apple sauce. I don't think we've purchased jarred apple sauce in 3 or 4 years :)

Did this same thing again... but I changed corn to broccoli and oven browned potatoes to baked potatoes. The other items were the same, and turned out just as good as last time.

My dad's side of the family immigrated from Syria, and my grandmother made great Syrian bread. I took over the tradition, and man o man, if you do it on a hot day, that bread can grow like crazy.

Ok,

 

Turn your oven on low,

 

For about 30/40 minutes.Then turn it off. Wait for about 20 minutes then put it in. But keep an eye on it every 10 minutes.

No,

 

Turn on the oven and let it warm up. Then turn it off and wait until you think it is close to room temp. Its really simple.

Today was leftovers.

 

My son and I had sweet and sour chicken (there's a thread in here somewhere with the recipe I use)... my daughter had tacos (pork and turkey breast instead of beef), and my wife had veggies and homemade hummus.

Dinner for me tonight is apparently candy corn and a Miller Lite tallboy I found in the bed of my pick up. I have reached a new low on many levels.

 

It is officially time to consider the idea that bachelorhood is not what it is cracked up to be.

I can feel ya on the house insulation. Our house is very old and sparsely insulated. On top of that, its a block house. So, yes, I hear you loud and clear.

But its still warm enough to allow bread to rise.

I use the oven method as explained above to speed up the process except I do it a little different.

 

I turn the oven to "warm" for just a few minutes. Then turn off and put the dough in. The oven is the second best insulated appliance in your house. It will stay warm for hours.

If it does get cold, you can turn it to warm once more, but just for a few seconds. Just long enough to heat up the element.

 

I'm not a pastry chef and rarely bake anything. And its difficult to find good bread when your bakery resides in a grocery store. (Publix is the exception).

I was watching "Cooks Corner" on PBS yesterday and they showed how to make a French baguette at home. Took two days as they rested the dough in the fridge for 24 hours.

It looked great. I may try it. Theres one ingredient they used that I don't have. Its similar to yeast, but not yeast. They did use quick acting yeast too.

We are in Florida at the moment,

 

And Publix is a block away. What do you reccomend?

Soup, on a rainy...almost snowy night.

  • homemade chicken stock
  • wild rice
  • cubed carrots, onion, garlic, assorted spices
  • leftover spaghetti squash and chicken added at the end

Publix has a great bakery. We especially like the 5 grain Italian. They also make some of the best subs known to man.

 

The Cuban restaurant sounds great. I grew up in a Cuban/Spanish household in Miami.

I still prepare Cuban food. The only thing I cannot get is real Cuban bread. Even Publix does not make an authentic Cuban bread.
