We love spending your money. $$$

and it's looking even better.

Basher, what a great looking cook.[emoji4] Bet it tasted delicious.

Lots to celebrate with your first cooks.

Must have been some very tense moments getting you new KK into the storage area. Great job and it is looking awesome. The real fun is about to begin.

Bruce, yes the glaze goes on after the beets are cooked.

Aussie is coming to dinner. New to me recipe and I did like it and plan to make another batch tomorrow for the freezer. These are good warm or cold, nice to snack on. https://www.onceuponachef.com/recipes/balsamic-glazed-roasted-beets.html#tabbox Peeled beets- Baked and glaze is on, balsamic vinegar and maple syrup. I went back for seconds and normally I would not do that for warm beets but these were tasty.

Did some pork belly burnt ends today and Mac & Cheese. The pepper is from my garden and they are unbelievably hot, I've eaten raw jalapeno peppers before from the store, they don't even compare with the ones in my garden for heat. The cheese is a white cheddar that I smoked at the beginning of the summer. That is maple syrup and butter the burnt ends are sitting in. Plated.

Now, that steak should melt in your mouth.[emoji4]

A tasty trip down memory lane.

Good eats in that casserole.

Sure looks very tasty.

500F did a nice job on your pizza.

Oh my, what a gorgeous KK. You will be able to cook a ton of food for your friends and neighbours.

Yes, you should be able to get some hose there.:)

Yes, but did you see how burnt the food was?

Bruce, that is one lucky friend you have.

Go for it, Wahoo. I'm sure they will be delicious and beautiful.

And just wait until you taste the food.[emoji4][emoji4][emoji4]

I like the wood, didn't think of mahogany, did think of cherry though but decided it wasn't red enough.

Wow, is it gorgeous or what!

Is that walnut?

Why wait for Xmas - Hamburger Buns https://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/beautiful-burger-buns-recipe#reviews 170 to 227g lukewarm water* (I used 180g.) 28g butter, at room temperature 1 large egg · 418g Unbleached All-Purpose Flour 50g sugar 1 1/4 teaspoons salt 1 tablespoon instant yeast *For best results (a smooth, slightly soft dough), use the smaller amount of water in summer (or in a humid environment), the greater amount in winter (or in a dry climate); and something in between the rest of the time. TOPPING 43g melted butter INSTRUCTIONS Mix and knead all the dough ingredients — by hand, mixer, or bread machine — to make a soft, smooth dough. Cover the dough, and let it rise for 1 to 2 hours, or until it's nearly doubled in bulk. Gently deflate the dough and divide it into 8 pieces. Shape each piece into a round ball; flatten to about 3" across. Place the buns on a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, cover, and let rise for about an hour, until noticeably puffy. Brush the buns with about half of the melted butter. Bake the buns in a preheated 375°F oven for 15 to 18 minutes, until golden. Remove them from the oven, and brush with the remaining melted butter. This will give the buns a satiny, buttery crust. Cool the buns on a rack. Yield: 8 large buns. (92g or 93g for 8 buns or 82g for 9 smaller buns.) · For slightly smaller buns, divide the dough into 12 pieces instead of 8. Bake the buns for 12 to 15 minutes, instead of 15 to 18 minutes. And how about "slider buns" — about 3" in diameter? Divide the dough into 24 pieces and bake for 12 to 15 minutes.

Thanks, Wahoo, these are a King Arthur hamburger bun recipe. It has butter and egg to make it super great. They are also easy to do.

Made some hamburger buns today and you just know I have to check them out for dinner. A KK burger is hidden under the cheese and other toppings. From my phone some bun pixs.
