  1. Timed making vinaigrette the other day - 2 minutes flat. Quick and painless and far, far tastier! :-) Throw your ingredients in a jar and shake.
  2. Man, I wish I could do emoticons on this thinger. Guess what I had this morning? Encore of the aforementioned bread and jam. Just can't help it!! You are brilliantly funny. Love your sense of humour! :-) Just watch what you say or I'll zap ya with AC!
  3. I love making pretzels, sourdough bread, bagels and English muffins, cinnamon rolls, focaccia, ciabatta, etc. Gluten free baking is great fun! Do get the KA pasta attchments - so worth it.
  4. I agree with Bartfull. By the way, as you seem to enjoy cooking and baking, give homemade pasta a try. There are some very good recipes out there. I love stuffing pasta with roasted butternut squash and ricotta puree and topping with browned sage butter and toasted pine nuts. Yum!
  5. Thanks for your report. We spend lots of time at our house in Croatia and once we are living there we hope to get to know Poland. It sounds awesome. I have also had some nasty meals on Lufthansa. Blech! . It sure pays to be prepared! Glad you enjoyed your time there.
  6. On my tablet so cannot use emoticon thingers. But if I could... It WAS delicious. Nice brown and tall loaf slathered with a thick layer of ruby red sweet yet tart jam. Yumzz is right!
  7. 1.5" thick grilled ribeye with smoked Maldon salt New herbed potatoes Fresh steamed green beans Thick slice of homemade bread with homemade raspberry jam
  8. Sunday Roast - very simple and ordinary but good! Roast beef Yorkshire pudding Mashed potatoes and gravy Baby beets and green beans from the garden Fresh raspberries
  9. The hottest pepper thinger on the planet. Cannot recall how many Scoville units...
  10. Do you like ricotta? I make my own. Easy peasy. Delicious in stuffed pastas, lasagne, etc. Have you tried applewood smoked cheddar? Swiss? Gouda? Emmenthal? Edam? Caerphilly from Wales is lovely. Wensleydale is awesome. As you like mild, you may like havarti, Monterey Jack and English cheddar (much nicer than American IMHO). Provolone is a very...
  11. Homemade pasta with poached shrimp in white wine garlic sauce Steamed green beans from the garden Homemade bread with raspberry jam I made a few days ago
  12. As usual, the vast and teetering piles of books in the house are growing and growing. At the moment I am immersed in food science and on the lighter side, some tame murder by Dorothy Sayers. Oh, and ancient Israelite history.
  13. Edmonton is excellent for eating out. Where I live there is nowhere safe for me to eat so we drive 3 hours to Ed. Love the food shopping there, too. You can get all sorts of cool and inexpensive ingredients at the Italian Centre, T&T, etc. Food and travel are amongst my passions. I teach cooking classes, too, so let me know if you need guidance....
  14. I am a few hours from Edmonton. Where do you do your gluten-free shopping? I would be happy to help as you begin your new life! At first it can be daunting and overwhelming. You have come to the right place for help. :-)
  15. What type of bread and what type of yeast? Active dry, fast acting...?
  16. James Beard's traditional meatloaf but am making a luscious red wine chanterelle glaze Smashed chive potatoes Grilled zucchini with lemon juice, herbs and feta Apple crisp encore
  17. Dang. I had a delectable hunk of skin in my mouth when I heard the garage open. DARN IT!
  18. Pasta with sundried pesto I made earlier with Parmesan shards. But I gave in and used...um...bought pasta. Sorta lazy,I guess!
  19. Greek roast chicken quarters - am tempted to peel off the crispy skin to insert into my tummy before my man gets home from work but methinks he will notice! Greek lemon oegano and roasted garlic roast potatoes Steamed broccoli Apple crisp with vanilla beans
  20. It is very, very good with shrimp and would work well with scallops. Sometimes you just have to have a big ol' bowl of really flavourful noodles. "Color flavor" - love it!
  21. Internet was down for several days so I was absent in flesh but not in mind. Lightning struck a tree a few feet from the house, slaying our modem. We are simply having the David Chang (Momofuku) recipe for spicy and gingery noodles with roasted miso-black sesame carrots. Mayhap we will throw some nectarines on the grill and toss together a sublime lime...
  22. The cool weather demands Eggs Benedict methinks.
  23. It can do serious damage if left untreated. There are said to be 200-300 symptoms which vary highly from individual to individual. Some may have neurological symptoms, some gastro. I had no outward symptoms whatsoever except, sadly, miscarriages (though I did not connect the dots then). My diagnosis was latent or silent celiac. I have accidentally ingested...
  24. There definitely are no tomatoes in most pesto (lots of basil, garlic, Parmesan, olive oil, pine nuts = traditional pesto). I do make sundried tomato pesto but by far the most common is stated above.
  25. How about tons of pesto varieties? Easy to make. Instead of pine nuts sometimes I use walnuts, pistachios, almonds, etc. and switch up the herbs to use sage, rosemary, mint, thyme...
