Re: What did you cook today?

Here is my best Ronnie (so far): This is beef stew made from tri tip steaks (cause they are about the right thickness and much easier than hacking up a chuck roast) I omitted the can of campbells cream of mushroom soup because I got screwed up and got a 4pk of chicken noodle instead, so used cream o...

Re: What did you cook today?

Grilled teriyaki salmon with jasmine rice and a roast medley of veggies with a dusting of fresh Parmesan Reggiano cheese. I brined the salmon for 2 hrs, rinsed it off and dried it, then back into the fridge uncovered for another hour or so. Ill be doing it that way from now on. Cutting courtesy of D...

Re: Carbon Skillets

...discovered the bottom was "domed"...so i emailed the folks at Smithey...And they replied they were made that way...and sadly I sent it back. Excuse my ignorance but what would be the purpose of making it this way? :? Good question Jeff, all they said was its made that way. There was no...

Re: Baking Much?

My first attempt at home made pizza! It uses the same dough I used for my loaves recently. I'm sick today but I felt the urge to try this, so I just went simple in order to get myself used to the idea of how to make pizza. Could have maybe done more cheese, and the bread is slightly chewy for a piz...

Re: Baking Much?

Do you know if the powdered milk is "scalded" or not? And thanks, I always wondered why that was done. And how anyone ever figured it out in the first place. Is it scalded? well it seems the KA version is, but other stuff maybe not from what i read, however whether it is or not it still w...

Re: Baking Much?

Easter bread last night. Technically "Paska" but its more like japanese milk bread. This is a enriched bread with 3 eggs, half a stick of butter and some sugar. The enriching part gives it a long shelf life (but it usually goes fast). Next time I'll form the loaf like Ronnie did in his mi...

Re: Baking Much?

I took a shot at making Easter bread (paska version). Was too chicken to fool around with the decorations since I didnt know if it would turn out how I liked it (from eons ago memories of my Gma's version). Most of the recipes were kinda vague about measurements but I took the plunge and make a doub...

This is my fav braise (tri tip). You could get out your large dutch oven or a baking pan covered tightly and make a double batch. have some noodles ready to go. tri tip ready when you come home (takes 2.5 hrs in oven for me) and or small baked potatoes or roasted veggies in oven at the same time. ht...
