Trying out the new griddle…

And sourdough loaves

Very pleased with the  sourdough, the starter has really got going now

If anyone would like some of the starter, let me know and I'll ship with next order (though it may delay shipping the order a day or 2)…

Very nice G, that bread looks incredible.

@Giles I expect some of that fresh bread to be ready for me when I visit you guys later this month.

Cooked on my Lodge cast iron skillet.. just the way I like it!

Now thats what a steak should look like, very nice.

[mclaincausey]

Agreed. Skillets are tough to beat. I like to preheat mine in the oven such that I get a quick sear.

I  do My steak also in a cast iron skillet.
I make the skillet real hot as posable then pop the steak in.

Giles is a real good cook and baker.
And food is good.

Some Super Bowl vittles. Roast radicchio with balsamic and caramelized walnuts, castelvetrano olives, avocado tossed in olive oil, salt, and pepper, smoked turkey, Spanish salami salchicon wrapped around a soft herb rinded goat cheese Capricho de Cabra, uncured chorizo, uncured Serrano ham, a Campo de Montalban with yuzu marmalade, a Cheshire with sour cherry jam.

Slumming it again….....

How much do you reckon you pay per loaf, G?.. I only eat organic sourdesem bread, but shit's epensive… If I  buy dinkel bread with nuts or fruit, it's not exceptional to pay 5-6/ bread... Usually pay around 3 though... But wondering how hard it is (for an eejit) to make your own bread...

[Giles]

It is seriously easy, but a little time consuming.

My organic white flour costs me the equivalent of €1.30 to make 2 large loaves.  I do not buy yeast as I made the starter, which is effectively a culture of naturally occurring yeasts.  You will need to feed the starter from time to time, so need to add a little wholemeal (in my case) flour, so a few cents there.

Other than that a little salt, some oil (optional), some rye flour for dusting and power…..

Organic, rennet free cheese with Gosport sourdough bread. You were right, G: it's even better lightly toasted!..
