Absent For A Bit ....

I am away for a little while working on a few or more episodes for The Adventures of My Space Alien Alter Ego story ... will return (to Earth) soon!

Notice: Blogger has screwed up and lost a bunch of photos out of my blog! They are replaced with a gray silhouette of a human head. I will eventually get them replaced with the correct photo, it may take a while to find and fix everything. So some of my stories don't make much sense without their photos, sorry for the inconvenience.

Eating & Cooking & Baking

I eat almost all my meals at home, home cooking & baking, so constant kitchen cleaning and grocery shopping are just a huge part of life. The exploration of new things foodish is a great love. 

My very latest cake, new to me anyway, was a Classic Hummingbird Cake, which my wife loved. I think it is basically banana bread with crushed pineapple baked into it, plus a cream cheese frosting. My wife claimed that she couldn't taste the significant amount of pineapple, but agreed it was more moist than the banana bread that I've made in the past. I used my springform cake pans and learned about using parchment paper on the bottom. It was a bit tricky getting the parchment paper into place and closing the wall ring around the bottom, but I figured out a sneaky way of placing the bottom of the springform pan on a small saucer, which being elevated a little allowed me to get the wall ring into place much easier with a flatter piece of trapped parchment paper, then used shears to take off the excess parchment paper.

In the last few months I just got started with sous vide and love it. I’ve made pumpkin bread for a long time, and my friends & family love it - especially my older dog Pepper.

Lasagna and spaghetti happen about once a month, and burgers from ground bison & pork sausage that are my favorite, happen 2-3 times during a month.

Meat smoking started in this last year which I like but it’s a wood pellet device and it doesn’t control temperature very well.

One of my latest discoveries is duck fat by FatWorks. The town of Portland, Maine has two places that sell French fries made with duck fat, as well as other items. So I have started making my own duck fat fries, too. I know no one personally in the state of Maine, but at least we have french fries in common.

Life is Wonderful
