EADD What Are You Munching On? v. Godlike steaks & shitting candles.

Smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel.

Reckon I'm gonna miss 24h bagels more than anything if I have to move.
 
I eventually made the loaf I was talking about the other day, had that with olives, cheeses, garlic olive oil etc

This morning was carrot,apple and cucumber juice followed by beans on toast.
 
Its a pretty simple bread recipe only takes about 25 mins to prepare but then there is two hours of proofing and half hour of cooking :D.

I made mine with chili flakes, chili powder, dried oregano lots of crushed pepper - topped with fresh garlic, fresh oregano and crunchy salt. I'm sure I've posted a photo of them before but should come out something like these.

500gs AP flour
11g yeast (I use instant)
315 ml of water (room temperature)
glug of olive oil
Sugar (depending on taste) teaspoon is more than enough for me
Pepper / Salt

Then add anything you want - chili, dried herbs etc

Mix all ingredients together until they form one lump, knead for about 10 minutes until the dough is elastic and when you prod it, the hole pops back out. Put ball in a bowl, cover for an hour or until it has doubled in size (somewhere warm is best), take out and repeat the kneading for 10 min (do the poke test again to check when ready). Shape into a tin, or tray, dish, make a load of holes in it with your fingers and then pour over a couple of tbl spoons of olive oil. I slice up a load of garlic and mix this with the olive oil you can add pretty much any herbs you like.

Now cover again and wait another 40mins - check on it and see how its looking, if nearly there stick the oven on 425 / 218 / gas 7 - when your dough is ready, poke it again all over the top (makes it go crunchy) sprinkle with a bit of salt and stick in the hot over for 25 / 30 mins.

When you take it out of the oven, give it a knock on the bottom it should sound hollow.
 
^^ That looks great, Bear. Think you've inspired me to do something similar for tea. I've fancied spaghetti alle vognole all week, but clams ain't happening in my neck of the woods - something like that will more than do.

Alle Vognole is very nice, especially with toasted baguette. I actually couldn't be bothered to cook tonight so grabbed a bag of frozen pasta sauce (made a load the other week and froze into portions) and a bag of frozen prawns, so by the time the pasta was cooked my dinner was ready.

Mrs Bear what is you're frozen pasta sauce recipe? I'm all for batch cooking.

I have a glut of rhubarb to cook, portion and freeze at the moment 8(
 
Chips fried in la-arrd (wanted dripping, but lidl is shite in its fat procurement). Jury's out on whether the old school extra tastiness is worth stinking the flat out for God knows how long.
 
Anyone here grow fresh fruit n freeze them? What's your method pls? I have so much fruit grow each year that I'd like to save then rather than waste it all or give it to the neighbours as had to with victorian plums last year.

The frui I'm growing are:

Plumbs
Cooking apples
Apples
Raspberries
Apricots
Blackberries
Rhubarb

Evey
 
I made a chicken and spinach curry for dinner - thankfully it tasted better than it looks :D

(not sure whats up with my camera on my phone - awful quality picture but you get the idea)

I think that looks pretty good myself bear.

I've just eaten one of those flat peaches, I love this time of year for fruit.
 
It was really nice tbh - The photo makes it look a bit dull but it tasted great.

I hadn't had a spinach curry for ages and spotted a bag in the freezer the other day and had been itching to use it. Those flat peaches are really nice - the ones that I think grow locally are really small (about the size of a tomato but squashed).
