I’ve done JD and ginger beer before and it’s very good.
Hmmm Dark and Stormy tasting flight? Cheers to that!

I made pizza again and finally got MUCH closer to my ideal. The dough was super sticky (almost impossible to shape) but spread out nice and thin, and I used only white bread flour. Plus some olive oil, salt, and fast-acting yeast. Did three dough cycles in the breadmaker and a fridge rest.

Looks fantastic! I’m curious - what is the purpose of doing three dough cycles in the bread machine? Is it for kneading and/or rising purposes? Sounds like a great and easy way to do it. How long was the frig rest? Thanks.

I wanted large shrimp for tonight’s meal, but Hannaford’s was from Indonesia, so I passed. Eggs stood in for the protein.
Spinach, baby lettuce, hard-boiled eggs, blanched asparagus, tomatoes, cukes, radishes, carrots, goat cheese.
Vinaigrette came from here.

Mrs. P made some gorgeous red snapper filets that we got from Local 130 Seafood. We had it with a side of asparagus. It went great with a nice Italian Primitivo.

Capers?

I just wanted good gluten development - may have been wholly unnecessary. Someone who knows bread will have to weigh in. Fridge rest was around 4 hrs.
The usual “It’s Friday so it must be New York strip”, but with the remaining (pigeon) peas and rice, and our new regular, roasted harissa carrots.

Tonight we had pizzas made with prepared whole wheat dough from our supermarket grocery delivery. Veggie crudités on the side because I can’t be bothered with real sides right now. Long week. There was wine.

I am sure you know this but:
Italian Fennel bulb is a lightly anise tasting and aromatic vegetable … Which we adore. It is amazing with fresh orange slices … or tomato or red onion or green scallion …
Fennel seed is a dried spice used predominately in Indian Cuisine. I have never used it however, we enjoy going to an Indian Restaurant when we visit The Madrid Capital, which is located very close to the British Embassy …
Have a wonderful weekend.
@Barca, how very nice of you to recognize our American holiday, and thank you for your gracious wishes. Trying times indeed, but hoping for better days. Best to you and yours!
