I had meant to feed my starter before Moe’s surgery but forgot. So by the time we were home after 10 days at the hospital it had been over two weeks since it had been fed. The starter was a little slower starting but had doubled in about 18 hours. I left the biga out…

I haven’t posted much this month. Moe had his second Popliteal Bypass surgery, this one in  his right leg. The aneurysm in his right leg was found at the same time they found the one in his left leg back in November. They had to wait until he was more or less recovered from the…

Was up early again yesterday so decided to make a Pot Roast with a boneless inside blade roast. I never use an actual recipe for pot roasts. I browned the roast well in a cast iron skillet. When the meat was browned I added to  cut up white onions, a head of peeled and  cracked…

Bought two cookbooks last week at our Vancouver Island Library. Both were Donna Hay Cookbooks. And such a deal.  Just $2.00 Each.  I cooked two meals out of one of these books (so far) The Asian Chicken Soup  and last night’s dinner Grilled Chicken and Grilled Vegetable Stacks. I made a couple of very minor…

We had dinner for a late lunch on Monday. Gorgonzola Garlic Bread   (ready for the oven) (just out of the oven) I’ve been making this Gorgonzola Garlic Bread since around 2000  and shared on my blog back for the first time in 2009,  the first year of Thibeault’s Table.  It became one of my most…

Monday’s bake, using the other half of the sourdough. Dough made Saturday and left in the fridge until early this morning. Baked in the CSO.

Sunday for pizza night.  I decided Saturday  morning to feed my starter and make a biga before leaving for work. Saturday night I used the biga in a batch of sourdough.  It was a 1000g batch that I divided in half and placed in two containers and they went into the fridge. One for pizza…

According to my Moe, this was the best breakfast sandwich ever. I had planned to roast this small Sterling Silver prime rib for dinner Friday.  I had  pre-salted it a couple of days before. Instead I roasted it Friday morning  and made  Beef Dip Sandwiches on homemade baguette for breakfast. I took  the same thing…
