Second time making this Beef & Ale Pub pie. It's filled with tender cubes of boneless beef ribs (which aren't really ribs), cremini mushrooms, onions, and a rich, brown gravy. The crust is unlike most others. It's made with sour cream & butter and holds up well when placed over the hot filling, then baked. It's strong, but not tough. Leftovers freeze well.

I'm old and foolish and this is the first time I've made pizza with poolish. Not sure how it's going to turn out, but I have high hopes.

And, as an aside, is it just me who finds one tomato plant leaf in every 28 oz. can of Cento Marzano tomatoes, or is this a signature thing?

I think the menu for this week will include the Breton Apple Pound Cake, Boeuf Bourguignon, some kind of galette, and I should make beef stock.
Hopefully I'll remember to get pictures of this.

#CheffingItUp at home with Mushroom Risotto. We prefer a brothy brew, rather than heavy and creamy. #cooking #rice

I think I'm feeling well enough to cook. Keeping it simple, though. A roasted chicken with potatoes, carrots, and Brussels sprouts.

This happened this afternoon, but I had to leave the house almost immediately because GMA’s dentist appointment -and that took an outrageously long time.

Brown butter cornbread. #CheffingItUp #Baking #Cooking

I got angry with the bacon fat situation and I don’t want to talk about it anymore so I browned some butter and after ten days of needless rumination, cornbread is happening. #CheffingItUp #Baking #Cooking #Food

I think I'll make cornbread today.

Yogurt and lemon marinated chicken with 🎵tabbouleh bouleh🎶. The chicken needed a sauce but was otherwise perfect. #CheffingItUp #Food #Cooking

I am in possession of quite a few Medjool Dates.
They were screaming at me this morning at the supermarket and refused to stop until I put them in my Vanity Fair free canvas tote.
What to do what to do what to do? So many possibilities... #CheffingItUp

The next 10 day menu. With the return of First and Second Born, to finish their grad studies, I get to cook…a lot. #cooking and #CheffingItUp

Today was a good day to take an inventory of my two freezers. I’ll need a new page for the pantry. Plans for #CheffingItUp #cooking

Today’s project in #CheffingItUp is perfecting my own Pad Thai sauce and then I will use it with my oh so good locally produced tofu.
