Sourdough

Sourdough tastes great - and not sour at all. But the bread has a great flavor, much more complex than other bread, and 1000 x better than store-bought.

We had the other half while it was still warm from the oven...

Some years ago I tried, not too great success then, but this is my 3rd bread in the last 2 months, and it came out pretty good. Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and good taste. My last one was a bit darker and had a very different taste, but I like the lighter kind.

Just a small quiche

Full grain flower, a little butter, some oil for the dough. Carrots, chicken, a little bacon, 2 eggs, milk, salt, pepper for the filling. Some cheese on top and 20 minutes in the oven. Yumm.

This is NOT all about food!

OMG, I just took a look at this blog, right after linking it to my professional blog (andreas-wpv) and website (directorinternet.com). This is nearly all about food!

Folks, this is just half of the truth, or even just one third. You can see the making of food - I definitely love that.
Second, I love to eat it too and having polite friends and family the eat the stuff too.
Third, I work it off in 4 to 5 hours of slow running, biking or swimming!

So, no worries about all that food, and wait 'til I show you my latest breads!

Sweet Snails

Called 'Schnecken' in German, these are really good!
Came out a little dry and dark, have to watch this next time.

Farfalle

So, this time farfalle. The first time ever I made pasta myself, except some gnocchi. And for sure, half of the flour exchanged against whole wheat. Quite some work I have to say, especially bending the farfalle!
Tasted good, had them with parmesan, salt and pepper only.

Next time need to spread thinner (cookbook 2,5 mm is too thick) and make them more even. And I guess I'll try with bigger pasta shapes :-)

Cookies!

Started dinner with empanadas, with some filling out of pork, peas, onion, carot, some sauces. Tasted good, but filling was to hot and wet and some of the empanandas broke while making them. And I still don't have a brush for the eggwash, got to get one!

And then I made som 16 heidesand, some German cookies (guess who loves them?). Chino helped me make them pretty much. I could not restrain myself and had two and a half :-)

Another Dish

Oh, so this time it was a chicken pie with leek and sausage. Covered with a nice crust of fluff pastry. Yummy. Next time I'll put the sausages in earlier, so the taste is stronger.



Had some new apple pie for desert, with frangipane in between the apples and apricot jelly on top. Goooood.
