Dang, I want to go to shrift's house for dinner.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
And at some point, I will also have sourdough.
I got a Le Creuset dutch oven and a rice cooker for Christmas, so I've been giving them a test drive! I still need to bust out the mandoline.
Similarly, I bought a crockpot today. I have butternut squash soup simmering and am shopping for cookbooks.
Mandolines are the bomb! I should really use mine more.
Made sweet potato gnocchi and peas for dinner.
Sigh. I made the best bread of my life today, and I will never make it again because it was one of those "Oh, CRAP I forgot I was almost out of bread flour: throw every grain I can find in until it adds up to 500g" creations.
Fucking hippie bread is going to turn me into fucking Proust.

I basically have used mine only for apple crisp and pickles, but it is worth it.
Fucking hippie bread is going to turn me into fucking Proust.

I made mushroom soup from the Ad Hoc at Home cookbook and it took a million hours but is very tasty. And there is a ton of it and an another ton of mushroom stock now in the freezer. I also made a delicious salad with roasted beets and got the vinaigrette recipe and crouton recipe from the Ad Hoc book. It's definitely for cooking on a day off.
