A good cookbook...read it like a novel

                        


I will miss your company.  I will post on
Facebook but not on this blog until early 
February.  Off to the beach to bake my bones.

Sunday night dinner: lamb chops and prime rib

Roasted Lamb Chops tonight (Sunday)

                                                                             
Her bread recipe right out of my oven. It works.
                                                                               

Although sad, Ruth writes well and produced a good cookbook.  As the novel like cookbook moves along Ruth comes out of it and sprinkles the pages with doable recipes.  As you can see, I have places marked to try.  This book does move along nicely, yet allows for contemplation and places to pause where a good recipe catches the fancy of the reader.  I am doing the bread recipe that gets punched down to size three or four times.  Ruth did this when the electricity was out for three days and states it was the best baked bread with intense flavor from the extra risings.  The recipe is so short with only like three ingredients and I will be putting it in the oven this evening, so I will let you know.  There are several recipes I am thinking of trying after I have had plenty of sun at the beach in January because there is always company coming.  It is like running a bed and breakfast.
NOTE;
THE FAMILY IS WILD ABOUT THIS BREAD. It was gone in an hour as people wandered in from their daily activities. I am off to make another batch.
