I made this LEMON-GARLIC SWISS CHARD SALAD like my mom today; LOTS of substitutions!
I used beet greens for the first time. Beets were from this weeks CSA box. Huge beets; up next!

When’s your next loaf . Sometime within the week I suspect. . I love the bread mystery theater. I can guess the ending. But never no for sure .

Thanks for including the recipe. I am going to have to try that salad. I love swiss chard - actually I love all greens.

The BF wants to make a no-knead bread himself (not sourdough), which I think is happening tomorrow…

Oh, I loved Peter and Mary together. A gentler time, oh yes. Thanks for the memory.

Thank you! He certainly had the energy because the kitchen looked like, well, a bomb had gone off! I left for work knowing we were having chicken and broccoli and returned to absolute insanity (in the best way).

You made me laugh and brought back a memory. I am a pretty neat cook, cleaning up after myself as I go along. But one day I was preparing several desserts for a party and had just tossed wrappings in the sink as I went along. Our son came home from school, walked into the kitchen and saw chocolate wrappers, cream cheese wrappers, egg and cream cartons in a frenzied mess. He whirled around to blurted, “Mama, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!” He’d never seen organized chaos in our kitchen.

In the future, when you are more confident, do experiment with different types of flour and also add stuff to your dough. My first loaves were no lookers and less successful than yours but I have done much better since (5 years). (First one, another one, and with beetroot. Beetroot after.)

Nice! Non-AP flour was a Top Chef challenge this week. Impressive.

We too are “clean as you go” in the kitchen. There’s nothing worse than finishing an awesome meal and then seeing Mt. Everest in the sink. Especially if we’re home at the same time, one will wash while the other cooks.
I got home last night at the tail end of his adventure. The apps and their bazillion ingredients were pretty much assembled. But when I saw the scene in that kitchen, I literally was taken aback.
If I ever win the lottery, I will pay someone to come in every night to wash dishes. Some in the privileged class hire a personal chef. I want a personal kitchen cleaner.

I made seared ribeyes, tater tots (as appeared in another’s WFD previously), garlic spinach, and mesculun and white radish with homemade strawberry-balsamic vinaigrette (the last two dishes made w/CSA veg).
My steak was rare and I’m #notsorry
Didn’t finish the whole steak, but I wanted to.

Teriyaki salmon (for the kids), and tuna steaks for the adults. Brown rice along side with roasted brussels and sautéed broccoli and asparagus with garlic and soy. I drizzled the sliced seared tuna with some previously made gochujang based sauce.

It must be steak night all over. Grilled NY Strip with a coffee and chile rub, finished with coffee salt. Grilled zucchini with roasted peppers and pesto.

We both have VERY limited restaurant experience but he has one up on me since he worked as a butcher’s apprentice for a year. Ironically, that’s why he doesn’t eat red meat, save for burgers! LOL

10-hour slow-cooker brisket in a Budweiser-based marinade, mashed sweet potatoes, and mom’s zucchini pie.
There was a Manhattan with wormwood bitters. Or was it two or three?
