I’m not sure which I like best. Sweet Scones or Savory Buttermilk biscuits. You can adjust them both to suit your own taste. With scones you can add your favourite fruit and with biscuits you can leave them plain or add different herbs and cheeses. This morning I went with buttermilk biscuits adding fresh chives…

St. Paddy’s Day Dinner
Herbed Irish Soda Bread You know when something doesn’t taste bad, there is nothing really wrong with it but you just don’t like it? And if you never have it again as long as you live you would be okay with that? Well that is how I feel about a corned beef and cabbage dinner….
Happy Husband Breakfast
Chocolate Chip Muffins. Couple of happy neighbours too.
Four Day Summary
Mushroom and Pepperoni Pizza My four days off went quickly this week. My washer died on Friday night so we went into Victoria on Tuesday to shop for a new one. We made a quick decision on a washer and dryer, finding what we wanted in the first appliance store. Moe was happy that he…
Moe’s Breakfast
Woke up to snow. Very annoying. Had planned to go into Victoria this morning for a little shopping, but after looking at the web cam on the highway through the Malahat we decided to have a lazy morning instead. Made a big breakfast. Pancakes and Bacon (with black pepper). This is my favourite pancake recipe….
All Day in the Kitchen
And loving every minute of it. I spent almost all day in the kitchen today. Started out early this morning feeding my sourdough starter and making a biga. While that developed I kneaded up dough for a batch of bagels. The last batch of bagels came out of the oven at 11:00 am. Next ,…
Chicken Stew and Dumplings
I meant to post the recipe for the Southern Style Dumplings to go with Friday’s post. I actually have three different dumpling recipes that I use, depending on the mood. The Bread and Parsley Dumpling and the regular Drop “fluffy” dumpling are both good in Beef stews too. I grew up eating “Bisquick Dumplings” ….
More Bagels
I love my days off when I can bake and just generally play in the kitchen. Bagels with Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese I baked Bagels again yesterday. Last weeks batch was long gone. We had smoked salmon and cream cheese on bagels for lunch yesterday and this morning. (Using a photo I already had)…
Sourdough Bagels
It has been a while since I made Bagels. I’d forgotten how much Moe liked them. He had his first two when the first batch came out of the oven. And two more toasted from the third batch. Morning snack. Good thing Matthew isn’t home or there would be none for the freezer. Home Cookin…
Sourdough………..Bake Day
I started Sunday night by using some of my sourdough “mother” to make a Levain and then I fed the remaining starter. Both were left on the counter over night to develop. This is what the Starter looked like on Monday morning: And this is what the Levain looked liked. It started out as a…
