Started with smoking some cheddar cheese for me and a pork loin for a friend. Cheese is done, can't see much smoke but can taste it and smell it. It is now vacuumed sealed and resting for a few weeks. While the pork is smoking I smoked some coffee beans. It has been a long time since I did this. I asked someone who shall remain nameless to pick me up 10 pound of GREEN beans and they came home with roasted beans. I am the only one drinking espresso or coffee in this house so it took me some time to use these beans. Actually I don't even have coffee everyday. Time for dinner, SVed some fish, made some fries, PCed the carrots and steamed some of my peas. Canadian is still smoking and the storm is in full force. The wind was blowing snow on Pebbles so I dropped the winter cover. It is being held back by the snow blower which is ready for action. Fortunately it is a low temp. cook. Canadian Bacon is done. Lot of smoke on this cook. Kitchen now smells great.

What a great story. This pot will always bring a smile to your face.

I'd have to be pretty desperate to do that, but if that is what floats your boat....

Tasty cook and I imagine your friends were thrilled with the flavour. It must have felt great to have some time to take pixs and do a post. I know I appreciated it.:)

I am watching this Syzygies with a great deal of interest. After tasting the bread using your recipe I can't get over the flavour. It is the only bread that I eat 2 or 3 slices as soon as it cool, can't get enough of that flavour.

I did get a laugh out of the bread baking instructions when I read, "give the dough a little shake to even it out".

Looks wonderful, Aussie. I'd have a hard time putting that ginger beer in the glaze, I love ginger beer not sure I could refrain from drinking it.

Looking gooooooooood CK.

Gorgeous Prime Rib, the flavour must have been awesome.

Syzygies, I checked out the link, very interesting, thanks. Then I went to a site where I have bought some wheat berries from in Canada. I suspect they buy their Red Fife from the same farm mentioned in your article. Sounds like I need to place and order if my local organic store doesn't carry it. Shipping will kill me, it's on the opposite coast of Canada from me. Here is a link to a very simple bread recipe Field Organics has posted on their web site. http://fieldstoneorganics.ca/products/organic-whole-grains/recipes/red-fife-bread.pdf

Thanks, HalfSmoke. It is tasty stuff.

Goodness for sure. I would be very happy with a bowl of that. :)

I am ready.

Bruce, for you I'll send one of each. HalfSmoke, I only used 75% of your recipe I wasn't sure the whole recipe would fit in my cloche but I thin it would, next time. Next time I'm hoping for more oven spring, it didn't compare to yours.:( Bread is still delicious though.:)

HalfSmoke that casserole is looking gooooood, can't wait to see it plated.:)

I'm going to taste mine a little later and see how it is the day after. I did and it is still tasty chili. I need to make more and freeze a little.

Beautiful eats, all of them and that little girl sure is enjoying them.

Made a couple of breads yesterday/ this morning. First Syzygies Recipe with fresh ground flour- The crumb and taste test. A recipe from Halfsmoke also with some freshly ground flour. Started this one yesterday and did an overnight ferment. The crumb.

This is how I plugged mine, just in case I want to connect a drainage hose-

At least one cook was done on another cooker.

Welcome, Kalinedrive.:) You have some great looking cooks for sure. They are all very tasty looking.:)

Thanks, everyone, I'll keep an eye out for you, Tony.;)

PCed the carrots and potatoes then put the potatoes through the ricer. Sprinkled thighs with granulated garlic and freshly ground black pepper, coated with Srirachi sauce then vacuumed for a few hours before putting on a 350F grill. Done, IT 180F. Plated with the veggies and chicken gravy. As always the chicken was extra moist, in fact, I had to go back and get another thigh it was so tasty.

Tinyfish, I've had my stove top PCs for many years and only recently have come to really appreciate them, wish I had done it sooner. Perhaps i didn't care for the lack of control on an electric stove and now that I have much better control with the gas I am liking to use them more often. The chili was surprisingly good and I will make it again. It should taste even better today. I need to smoke some cheddar cheese and shave that on the chili.
