    That is the ultimate. Actually, this is a very smart way to roast a turkey - it won't taste bacon-y but the bacon just provides fat for basting. I have done this but not in such a fancy pattern. Great way to do meatloaf and dry things such as quail, Cornish game hens...

    As always, I enjoy your wit. I know what you mean about bread with substance - that is how I like mine, too, except for baguettes. Sounds like a winner considering it tastes so good. Hmmmm...I bet I would enjoy it, too. The honey oat sounds great. I've been doing a schwack of experimenting again and have a good honey oat bread recipe, though I...

    ...and that is how you spell success. That is awesome!

    For the true test I would have liked to have seen her slice the bread. I'd love to see the texture and how it holds together. When I make breads I like to slice a line all across the top slightly on the side so it rises better and looks so gorgeous and rustic. And European. So, Adelaide, how DOES it taste? What is the texture like? Is it great...

    We are also hosting Christmas at our house (my in-laws - no comment). I am traditional in ways but not in cooking! We usually have something like this: - roast duck or goose or porchetta or roast leg of lamb (we are not turkey fans - there is so much flavourful out there!) - buttery celeriac and potato puree with mustard seeds (also nice with a touch...

    Oh, it does. Believe me. Not that I have noticed or anything...

    Don't you just adore GPS? What was the "bacon on a stick" like? Anything else with it? Forgot to mention that if you brush slices of bacon lightly with maple syrup and bake it becomes like bacon candy in a GOOD way.

    The best option (aside from homemade) is to find some unsliced bread so you can thickly tear chunks. Torn bread obviously has far more nooks and crannies that become crusty from the drippings, stock, etc. OR tear up bagels. Bagels have a non-crumbly texture that tears well. I find sliced bread does not make nearly as good dressing/stuffing.

    It's snowing yet again. Man, I'm sick of winter already! To remedy that, I am making Black Bean Soup with Chiles en Adobo, Lime and BACON. Probably some sort of fruit. But all the winter stuff is rock hard or pulpy or putrid.

    How do I love bacon? Let me count the ways... 1. As is, crispy with just a little flexibility around the edges. About 26 pieces, please. 2. In bacon jam on baguettes. Heck, straight from the jar. 3. With eggs about a billion ways including souffle, omelettes, scrambled... 4. Along with mire poix in things such as soups, stews, braised dishes...

    Yes, IH! I just typed that in sort of tongue-in-cheek. At our house we do not exactly plan our conversations! Anyway, more on the gluten-free compound location. What are your considerations? Mine are as follows: - warm climate (such as Croatia) - beautiful scenery (such as Croatia) - wondrous food and ingredients (such as Croatia) -...

    Oh, my yes! There is no need whatsoever to use canned soups. Ever. That's just my opinion. How about this simple recipe? Open Original Shared Link Or this? Open Original Shared Link I would personally add fresh thyme as it goes incredibly well with mushrooms and beef. For both of the above you can use Better than Bouillon...

    That is my understanding, too. However, I have read that lactose can actually cause villi damage but have no clue where I have read that (here??). Either way, I am definitely not willing to eat gluten, especially now! One serving of milk would make me run, too. I finally found a great brand of lactose-free milk - the others have been too sweet. Just...

    Millet Pasta with Shrimp and Creole Cream Sauce Creamed Onions (ETA I meant peas!) Homemade Pecan Cinnamon Roll Topic? After food, what's left?

    I am a diagnosed celiac. I was off gluten for four months and then had my biopsies done so started my gluten challenge. I actually made a list of the things I wanted to enjoy one last time (I believe there were 87 things on the list - many, in retrospect, are now in my gluten free repetoire). So, I literally pigged out on gluten for three entire months...

    There is NO WAY I would use any EnerG bread. When I first tasted it I cried. The second time I tasted it I was disgusted. No more tests necessary. There are far, far better commercial breads available with both vastly better taste, smell and texture. My personal favourite is the Kinnickinnik soft white bread (good taste, texture, smell and the slices...

    Tomorrow I am making: Korean Scallion Pancakes with Homemade Nuoc Cham Lemongrass Shrimp with Spicy Thai Chile Sauce Thai Mung Bean Noodles with Vegetables and Spicy Chile Sauce Topic of conversation: Food, no doubt, as usual! Hopefully I can skirt the Christmas-with-the-inlaws-issue without argument.

    This is a brilliant idea!

    Just curious - what held it together (the binder)? I'm getting into quinoa a bit more as well. Do you have this book? "Quinoa 365"... Open Original Shared Link It is well worth it if you enjoy quinoa.

    Eggs Benedict with unctuous hollandaise (I guess that goes without saying). Mmmmm...it was so good!

    There are currently 21 flours in my freezer. I checked. It's true - you cannot simply replace wheat flour with just one other - blends work very well. Tricky thing is, each flour or starch has different properties; for example, one for browning, one for rising, one for strength, one for flavour...and so on. In fact, I have a superb bread recipe that calls...

    Irish, you and I would make a great cooking team, wouldn't we? We'd scope out all the unusual cool ingredients at the specialty shops and markets (making sure they are good and expensive) and cook our little hearts out. Meals less than 3 ingredients? Heck, I know very well that both you and I can use up to 30 ingredients in a dish, let alone a meal...

    I will gladly come and cook for you. It is in my blood. A day without cooking to me is sheer madness. It stresses me when I cannot cook. And thanks for your generosity with offering me the main house. Can I plan the kitchen? What is my budget?
  24. love2travel
    That was rather humorous, wasn't it? I believe it was either 18 or 22 minutes. I washed AND dried the dishes while that stupid bread was toasting. And then probably did the laundry and got the groceries. Or maybe not...

    Thanks for the house with the gorgeous kitchen! Who wants to tackle this building project? Are we going to become a commune of our own? Those muffins sound delicious!
