I just happened to have Irish Wiltshire Bacon Rashers on hand, so  for dinner last night , I made Moe a bacon and egg sandwich  on one of the Waterford Blaa rolls .

  I have Karen, from   Karen’s Kitchen Stories to thank for  this recipe.  According to Karen, unless you are in Waterford,Ireland when you bake  these rolls, you are not suppose to call them Waterford Blaa. Since these were baked on the west coast of British Columbia they are technically not a real Waterford Blaa….

Lamb shanks – Greek style. Chicken Piccata.  I make piccata a little different using green peppercorns instead of capers.  (I don’t care for capers).  Simple pan sauce of butter, a little bit of flour, fresh minced garlic,  chicken broth with green peppercorns, and the juice of a whole lemon.  Finished with minced Italian parsley. Sides…

Roasted a little Sterling Silver top sirloin roast for dinner.  I love this cut of beef. Tender and full of flavour. Two ways to use up leftover roast beef for breakfast.

Smoked Salmon Platter An easy dinner with home-made sourdough rye. One of Moe’s favourites  Poached Eggs on Toast And a cheese omelette again with rye toast. 

Fed both of my starters before leaving for work on Saturday. One with white flour and one with organic rye.  I used 80g of the rye discard to make a biga/preferment.  The preferment was also made with rye. The starters and  the rye preferment had more than doubled by the time I got home from work. Starters…

I had neglected my sourdough starter to the point of no return.   So I started over.  Twice. I didn’t like the first starter.  So started a new one Sunday (Jan. 24th), using fresh organic rye flour  that my friend Pam at  Scoops Natural Foods  milled for me on Saturday. I started two new starters, both with…
