Deep Dish Pizza Friday is pizza night at dance. I’ve already done Brian’s Deep Dish (at XLIII). I’m doing it again, but with the homemade sausage and the instructed 24 hour dough rise. I didn’t copy out the ingredients, last time. Here’s the recipe, in The Joy of Cooking format. Chicago-style, Deep-dish PizzaFrom: MarkSource: BrianContinue reading “Learning 2 Bake from Scratch – LXXXIII”

Learning 2 Bake from Scratch – LXXI
Coconut Cream Pie First, the final result of LXX.V: Still excellent filling; much more stable merrang, although not quite dry; caramelized and tough crust. The crust issue turned out to be simple: I used two tablespoons of sugar instead of two teaspoons of sugar. This was immediately obvious when I started comparing crust recipes toContinue reading “Learning 2 Bake from Scratch – LXXI”
Bacon Floodies
I’d never heard of them, but the YouTube algorithm thought I would be interested. It was correct. These are easy enough that I didn’t even use the recipe. I made enough for two. The second one is a bit overly toasted on the bottom (i.e. burned) because I was too busy eating the first oneContinue reading “Bacon Floodies”
Cacio e Pepe
A recipe from Cook’s Illustrated. I thought it would make a good first pasta course for the Italian dinner I will be cooking (this coming Saturday). It’s supposedly difficult to get the cheese sauce right. Following the instructions in Cook’s Illustrated, it was not. It’s very simple: Pasta with Pecorino Romano cheese and black pepper.Continue reading “Cacio e Pepe”
Mark & Max V
Placenta Stop giggling (or vomiting); this is Classical Latin so the “c”s are all hard (very similar to how the “a” in Ur-an-us is always short). It’s better than I expected. Sort of a giant sized baclava. On to the recipe… The internal layers (tracta) are a spelt and wheat mix. Max says to buyContinue reading “Mark & Max V”
Learning 2 Bake from Scratch – LXV
Ciabatta Having just returned from Rome (and finally over the airplane crud), I thought it would be nice to thank the friend who drove us to/from the airport with an Italian dinner. This requires ciabatta for the bread course. Need to make bread? Who ya gonna call? The Big Dog: Of course, it’s another oneContinue reading “Learning 2 Bake from Scratch – LXV”
Chicken Pot Pie
I watched an interesting video about Chicken Pot Pie, or as our intrepid host refers to it: Chicky P P. Or not. This recipe was an adventure because the pie plates took so long to arrive. The Grocery Fairy brought me leeks and chicken stock. The freezer yielded up peas and eight thighs. Some in-the-cupboard-way-too-longContinue reading “Chicken Pot Pie”
Mark & Max – III
Melos Zomos Spartan Black Broth. Who hasn’t daydreamed of being a Spartan Warrior? Apparently, anyone who has eaten their food: It is no wonder that Spartans are the bravest men in the world, for anyone in his right mind would prefer to die ten thousand times rather than [live as miserably as this.]” Editorial question:Continue reading “Mark & Max – III”
Mark & Max – II
Tiger Nut Cake First, an administrative note: I’m skipping some of the recipes. I may or may not go back to them. The second in the book is Tuh’u (no, I don’t know what an apostrophe sounds like, either), which is a lamb dish. It’s rather difficult to find lamb in January, since they areContinue reading “Mark & Max – II”
Every Eatery 2.0
I went back to look at the start of Every Eatery. I don’t like it, so I’m starting over. I’m keeping the same concept, so aptly captured in the title, of eating at every restaurant in Rapid City. Structurally, I’m going to try something very different for a blog: I’m going to create single postContinue reading “Every Eatery 2.0”
