KITCHEN DUTY

 I spent the day in the kitchen.

It was by my own volition.

Judy was going out for lunch with Gayle so I had the area to myself.

First on the list were two loaves of bread that are alleged to be a knockoff of the brown bread served at the Cheesecake Company restaurants.




Next up and still bubbling away for a couple more hours: Marcella Hazan's Bolognese Sauce.



I've only had a sip or two of the sauce and it tastes like it will go good with pasta tomorrow.

The bread looks good but we haven't sampled it yet.

I'll let you know.

====================

Later: We did try the bread and it's delicious.  It has molasses and honey among a lot of other ingredients and there's a slight sweetness to the finished product. Yummers.

I had three meatballs broiled in the oven for my evening repast.

Judy is not fond of meatballs so I had no competition for them.

The meat was left over from the pasta sauce.  Could have made a burger but wanted to try this.

First time I've tried broiling anything.  It worked swell.

  2. This wasn't so much kitchen duty as kitchen fun.

  3. I would be all over the bread and the sauce on pasta. Like Judy, I'm not a fan of meatballs.

  4. I remember eating bread that brown when I was very very little, before mum packed up and took off. Can you give the recipe please?

  5. "It worked swell" - please translate. Does it mean that the meatballs caused a swelling in your throat?
