Beautiful. What flour did you use? Did you buy it or grind? I've read a couple of books that really recommend grinding your own. Whatever you it did looks awesome.

Thanks!
I've really been getting into using freshly ground, local grains. The above dish, I used a whole wheat flour from Alprilla Farm in Essex, MA. It's so cool to actually see the bran and germ in the flour, something you just can't get from commercial flours. I also love Maine Grains from Skowhegan, ME. I believe you can order their stuff online.

I was going to say the flour looks rustic. I'm up in Essex all the time in the summer.

The town of Skowhegan started a conference when they were first getting started. They had classes on farming, milling, brewing, baking and even home pizza brick oven building. I think it's more about business and farming now that it has taken off so well.

I keep delaying a road trip west of me to a couple of breweries I really like. Four Stars has an end of a season festival. I think I'll attend it this year. The breweries are close by.

Additionally with grains they also grow other stuff

A small boneless pork loin roast.

Making what might well be my favorite meal of the year. Pea soup from the New Years Day hambone.

Thanks, Travis! So glad you like that recipe. It's very easy in the pressure cooker, isn't it?

Easy and fast! I'm loving the pressure cooker. I did chili last night in a fraction of the time I normally have to braise it and with indistinguishable results

 

[paulthenurse]

Ya baby!

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Beef and bean chili, cheese curds, sour cream, with spent grain bread.

You see where this is heading?

Homemade Russian dressing
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons ketchup
2-3 tablespoons fine chopped homemade pickles
2 tablespoons red balsamic vinegar
1.5 teaspoon Meyers horseradish
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon Sriracha
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Pinch of white sugar

The 6lb flat cut corned beef just came out of the oven. Probably wont be having them tonite

 

[LakesideBrewing]

Hand cut pappardelle, sausage ragu, parm, chive.

Love the knife I just recently bought one and altho large is amazingly versatile.

 

[user 211287]

Its my only Victorinox. All my others are Henckel Four Star and Five Star. Works great for carving but IMO its was a tad over priced at about $60. I didnt shop around though. I probably could have found it for closer to $45.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Yea. I think I paid $35 around the holidays. I wouldn't feel guilty if I banged it up.

 

[user 211287]

Oy Vey im stuffed!!

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Sesame crusted tuna, side of Asiago parsley spaghetti, and salad.

 

[Schlenkerla]

Black Peppercorn Ranch Dressing...

 

[passedpawn]

Carrot caviar on a mound of Bomba rice flavored with Butterfly Pea flowers (Clitoria ternatea). The carrot caviar is made with pureed carrots, honey, and ginger, sodium alginate added and dripped into a calcium chloride solution to form the pea-shaped blobs. Weird I know.

haha, I'm just messing around. Was working on something else in the kitchen today and had time to kill. I'm going to make more blue stuff and more beady stuff for sure!

What he ^^^^ said.

Now I am hungry.

I cut into a homemade wheel of cotswold cheese last night. It was awesome (if you like a soft cheese filled with minced onions and chives). Unlike the last two of these I made, this one I brined to harden the rind. The rind is darker yellow and skin-like. I'll probably do this in the future - I like it this way.
