Thanks Beth, I don’t know that I’m a good cook, but I am willing to try new recipes. I’m always asking the kids for their honest feedback to know if I should make it again.
Wow Ruff, that’s an 8 year old starter, excellent! I baked 3 loaves and they all turned out quite well. Now I’ve moved into maintenance mode so I’m keeping the starter in the fridge and will feed it weekly. No time for bread baking right now. After the wedding I will bake more and give to the kids and other family.
Squealcat, great your hubby bakes. Mine also bakes a nice whole wheat loaf. I actually don’t eat much bread as I enjoy the other whole grain starches so much.
Daydream, that’s too bad your grandson is allergic to lentils. I didn’t know that was possible. So he can eat other beans like black and chickpea? What happens if he has lentils? Does he get a rash? I’m learning all kinds of new things with my first grandbaby. In the old days foods were introduced slowly and things like eggs and peanut butter were later. Now parents are supposed to introduce these foods early and if there is a reaction there is a plan to help address it. Quite amazing how the strategies change over the years.
SilverMtns, glad I made you happy. My daughter-in-law sent me a video of my 7 month old grandson giggling. Oh my gosh I can just watch it over and over and it’s the sweetest sound ever. It’s hard not to feel such happiness with that kind of blessing in my life.
It’s quite interesting sometimes when I get on a roll and am preparing some new recipes, I sort of forget to eat fries. Gosh fries and ketchup are just the best. I could eat them every day. They are also great with malt vinegar. I made an Alfredo sauce from cauliflower. Quite nice and creamy. Mixed it with barley and broccoli for a very delicious meal. Been doing lots of shopping and running around with wedding preparation stuff. I have a few lists on the go, it’s fun and exciting. Still getting some good Pickleball matches in as well.
Have a great day and enjoy those spuds!
