Cherry tomato galette (Chef John recipe)
Sourdough peach focaccia
Well, yeast water instead of actual sourdough starter, but it's still wild yeast and has the same result.

Lemon meringue pie (Joy of Cooking recipe), fresh from the oven.

Also first bread of the year, in fact first since I got sick with flu a couple of days before Xmas. Feels good to be getting back to these tasks.
Wild how flat the bottom turned out though, I'm not used to that.

As proof that I'm finally feeling better, although the cough from this flu *really* drags on, I baked cookies.
Only a small batch, 11 cookies total, but that's perfect for just the two of us (we can make it if we try). Two things I did special that I really need to always do though:
1. Browned butter instead of just melted.
2. Substitute about 1/3 of the flour by weight with rye.
Excellent results.

Since I finally felt well enough to cook, I thought I'd ease back into it with something simple....burgers and fries, maybe.
So here's hamburger patties with a homemade stock and wine reduction based on a Julia Child recipe and roasted potatoes from scratch.
Y'know, I like where this thing is headed.
Roast potatoes
Had a bunch of these large, soft, sweet apples, and I really needed to use them up, Therefore: Applesauce!
Tossed as many as would fit in the crock pot with some brown sugar, a little cider vinegar, a splash of cold brewed tea because why not, cinnamon sticks, ground ginger and some freshly grated nutmeg.
Smelled SO GOOD!

Shepherd's pie, from a recipe I haven't tried before. My usual go-to method is way too basic.
Turned out really well, but two things that need work. First, the gravy needs to be a little thicker.
Second, so do the potatoes. I made them too goopy. Taste-wise, turned out fantastic though.
You gotta give the people what they want, here in the land of Mastodons.
