Making bread, making bread, making bread, making bread

Go you!

I'm addicted to homemade Naan lately.

And beignets.

And cornbread.

And...

Well, I've been cooking a lot.

next week: First try at steam-method baguettes.
 
Four batches today, I've decided. Each makes four loaves.

I'm already covered in flour, but two barches are rising now, scant hours behind the other.

Once I have the first in the oven I'll start on batch three.

These are CHICAGO loaves, by the way. Party food.

And the attendees God damn better well like it!

Well, no, that came out rather strongly, didn't it? Ahem. :eek:

I mean, I hope everyone likes this stuff. It makes marvelous sandwiches and is a solid hangover cure in the morning toasted with peanut butter. Truly.

Maybe I'm getting nervous about everything working for this event which is next week? Maybe?

I'm going to go make another batch.

:rolleyes:

:D

Wish I could be there, for sure. Maybe I should give my cell number to someone and demand that you all call me when you're all there.

I hope the baking relaxes you, hon.
 
I used to bake bread... it is so relaxing and makes the house smell so good!! Right now our house smells like paint... paint is good too. But not as delicious.
 
I'm so glad I'm driving this year.

All the stuff I'm bringing? I'd need about 12 suitcases!

:D

Ragrdless if I actually appear in person or just my goodies :)

I would need about five with all the goods LOL

I LOVE to bake
but wahhhhhhhhh cant right now even with all the cool appliance I now have..
 
I think I may need a breadmaker.

Luckily I have strong arms, some muscles from martial arts, but after a couple of batches of kneading dough I can tell I've been working!

:)

I definitely get a workout, but for me it's from stamping out a gazillion four-cheese ravioli :)
 
Hey Sarahh...can I have a nibble?

you guys are making me hungry and I had breakfast!


Doing it the real old fashion way is so rewarding... and muscle building LOL

I admit I cop out with really good premaids from trader joes and whole foods...
But---- when I am healthy and happy with life I am elbow deep in the batters and breads and bushels of produce -

Damn... its still too early for homemade strawberry jam

I even have an orange tree in the back yard...fresh squeezed juice...

An herb garden inside and outside...

It's never too early for homemade jam! Nevah!

I was going to call you earlier, but I wasn't sure if 11:30 was too early. :rose:

I'm in Florida so I'm in luck. Best season for gardening here has just passed. Now the bug beasties are waking up again and nibbling on my 'matoes.

Window box of herbs now because apparently they also consider basil to be a high-holy yummy thing.

They don't seem to like the cilantro, which cracks me up.

I'll have to plant some marigolds to see if I can get the beasties to go elsewhere.
 
Yesterday I planted a late nectarine, an apricot and a Santa Rosa Plum. My early nectarine is so loaded with fruit that I'm probably going to spend the entire coming weekend thinning. Then there are the weeds, the beds in the front and the beds in the "back forty". With this much garden, its a wonder I find time for sex.

Homemade pasta with an Italian hand crank pasta machine is about as ethnic as you can get. Such wonderfully messy fun!

My pasta maker went to great use this week - lasagna sheets, ravioli, and pork lo mein noodles.
