Late breakfast was the normal, bacon, eggs, potatoes, toast, sliced tomatoes. Lunch/dinner was a couple $5 Taco Bell AssBlaster boxes.
Coal miner stew for dinner: russets, smoked sausage, onion, garlic, green beans, cream of mushroom and cheese. A simple dump and go stew.
Baked a loaf of artsy-fartsy sourdough to go with, and a loaf of sourdough in the new cast iron loaf pan the family gifted me for my recent birthday. Not a true Pullman square loaf sandwich bread pan because it has a little taper to it, but it does have a lid and will be a great alternative to our regular Pullman pan or open top iron loaf pans.

Last night’s family night dinner pizza: Chicago deep dish pepperoni with sourdough crust.
Just got a text that my daughter invited us over for homemade chicken and dumplings!
Glad I hit the gym this afternoon

haven't made a boule in a couple years so I pulled out the banneton & cranked one out, 70/30 bread flour/whole wheat. Thursday night overnight bulk ferment, shaped it Friday morning & into the banneton for a final proofing until about noon, covered & into the fridge for a few more hours to chill for removal and scoring, baked Friday night
450 for 20 minutes in the preheated dutch oven with the lid on, then an additional 20 minutes with the lid off
The intended usage, applewood smoked bacon & cheddar breakfast panini Saturday morning, prior to assembly we fried the bread for a minute in the bacon grease
about 5 minutes in the pannini press later they were done
the left over bread made a second appearance late this afternoon with some feta spread (giant chunk of feta, extra virgin olive oil, hot pepper seeds in the food processor until incorporated):
and finally, a shot of last night's FFFF (french fry festival friday), seasoned curly fries, sweet tater fries & tots with ketchup, my homemade vanilla bourbon sauce, and some store bought 'french fry' sauce
tomorrow is Easter, I made a second boule as my contribution to the festivities, actually it's in the fridge stage now, I'll bake it tomorrow just prior to serving

it's rough sleddin this time of year for tomatoes, pretty much all that's available are tomato looking blobs, soon the good ones'll be out.
The plan for this part was to pack it up & head to one of our favorite wineries to spend the afternoon sipping some wine & perhaps a slushy on a nice sunny 65 degree day, so we packed up the TJ & rolled down there but upon arrival clouds were gathering & I learned that the slushy machine wasn't yet open for the season; to compound this the line at the bar to grab a bottle of wine was packed & they had one bartender of questionable competence that was also acting as the waitress to run back & forth to the kitchen & grab cheeseboards & whatnot. Realizing I may be there for 45 minutes waiting for this nitwit I called an audible & headed back outside & told the girlfriend we're outa here, she smiled & said good, I'm cold & it's starting to rain - let's head back to the hut party there
, she's a keeperI knew I had a few bottles of wine left here as gifts, mostly red, but I did happen upon this odd pumpkin raisin
wine, good enough, actually tasted more like mead than wine, was all good, we got some heavier clothes on & had a roof above
