What's For Dinner!

Biscuits!

Well, we kinda skipped dinner

and I got hungry later.

Make some rice?

Fruit?

Toast?

No...

Biscuits!!!

I didn't take photos

because my hands were floured.

I covered the cutting board with freezer paper.
It worked well for cutting biscuits
but it is too slippery for kneading dough.

But later...

Half white and half whole wheat flour.

I think I will go have another

biscuit before they cool down.

Tortillas Or English Muffins?

The English Muffins Won!

Link to Food Wishes English Muffin Recipe and Video

Yes, I did take photos...

Next time I make these
I will use a lower temperature
and be sure to use corn meal to keep
the muffins from sticking
while rising.
They were hard to pick up
even though I floured the bottom and top.



The yeast I had was a little old
so I added a bit more.
And it proofed.



Rolling out the dough balls
was a lot of fun!

Corn meal on the top and bottom of the muffins
would have kept them from sticking.

I used the soup skimmer sieve to skim
off the milk solids.
The clarified butter worked great.



The muffins are very good!
Next time I will double the recipe.

Whoops! Video...no photo

There should be a photo here of the 

flatbread I made today.

Even some photos of the flour mess I made

mixing and rolling them out

would have been good.

Perhaps I was too hungry?

I didn't think about taking pictures.

As soon as the flat bread was ready I ate it!

So, no photos...

But next time I make them I'll take photos.

To make up for the lack of pictures

here is the video I"m going to use next time.

Home Made Tortillas

And here is the video I used this morning.

Oldest Flat Bread

I learned not to let excess flour get in the skillet.

Burned flour...not so good.

But I ate the flat bread anyway.

It wasn't burnt.

Food Wishes has several videos

on making flat bread, pita bread, etc.

I really like these two cooks!

And use a lot of their recipes.

And these cake pops look good too.

Cake Pops

I was going to load the videos.

But ended up loading the links instead.

Click on the links.

Have fun!

Be happy!

What's Happening Today...

Ants!

Tom said the bread board was covered with ants this morning.

?

Ants like bread?

Our plug in ant repeller thingy is missing!

Not me... I didn't do anything with it.

I think it got taken up stairs to work on repelling

the visiting squirrel.

I forgot to mention the olive oil, olive oil lotion

and balsamic vinegar we got at the farmer's market Saturday.

I was going to get some honey but we still had some.

While I was in Idaho I bought a hat.

It's too big.

Fits down over my ears

Keeps the sun off though!

So that's good.

And I bought some Idaho weights.

I have plans to get a treadmill before Winter.

I need to stay somewhat in shape.

And I bought a new mouse.

It scrolls!

My old mouse was in bad shape.

And finally a photo of the front deck.

Without leaves!

Yep, I swept off the deck around the house today.

My big accomplishment!

I could sweep while taking careful steps.

One foot/toes are still a bit messed up

from a tumble I took.

But getting better.

Morgan went to the vets today

and along with blood work, etc., she got her nails trimmed.

No more clicking!

Now she needs an appointment with the groomer.

She is a dirty dog.

We put up with that because she is old and hates

to go to the groomers.

But enough is enough.

Saturday Farmer's Market

Went to farmer's market on Saturday.

Then slept most of the day and evening.

Too late to post.

Around 2am Sunday managed to get this much typed.

My sleep cycle is all messed up

because I have been staying up at night

keeping the doors and windows open to cool the house.

I'll finish this tomorrow...
---
Well, this is the day after tomorrow.
Since this blog is about what goes on around here...
not much today.
It's cooler.
I slept in the day.
I"m up...soon to go to bed.

Leaves
This is what I saw in the hall when I got up this morning.



I did kick the leaves closer together
for the photo.
Morgan brings the leaves into the house
after she collects them on
her walks in the forest.

Not much to post about
but, hey, this is what's happening.

Market stuff
The fridge is stuffed with
fruit and flat bread
that we bought on Saturday.
Strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, grapes,
pears, loaves of bread,
and blueberries that we already had.




I'm enjoying eating fruit and yogurt!

In 5 weeks there will be chickens to buy
at the farmer's market.
Processed and ready to cook.
Farm chicken raised by a local farmer.
Looking forward to that!
I'm going to buy some to cook and some to freeze.

I'm hoping to get to bed before 2am
and turn my sleep schedule around.
