Nothing better than some quick bread-making from James Peterson’s Baking to make a day with two inches of rain and no internet access a much brighter one.
But what is really turning the gears in my head is this month’s Charcutepalooza challenge: sausage-making. Just the thought of making some Merguez sausage gives me a really big smile. I’ve got the perfect locally-raised lamb for the task. I’ll be making the sausage in the next week, along with a nice picture-filled blog entry to boot.
And one more quick hit: sometime next week, I’ll be writing up a piece on version one of my ideal ground beef mixture. The great thing about playing with food is successes and near misses still taste damn good.
