I'm intrigued by the pickle slices topping the bun, but do they make it too mushy?

I'm intrigued by the .. carrots? that come on the side. Pickled veg?

I do really love pickled carrots. They're even better than pickled cucumbers because of their crunch.

Me too! Any time I have overly one carrot, one beet, half a red bell pepper etc, I make a jar of quick pickled veg.

Pickled asparagus.

Entire jars have disappeared in an evening.

 

[raindancer]

Now I want pickled okra.

I see a spicy pickle lurking in the background.

Beware.

We have a Mexican place here that is fantastic! They have a bin of unlimited spicy pickled carrots, onions, garlic and jalapeños. You can take as much or as little as you like... God damn, I miss that place.

Eh, he's just a little guy.
What's to worry?

No, not at all. They are crispy pickles and drained before they are skewered.

Pickled carrots. They come with the pickled jalapenos and are nicely crunchy and spicy.

Beware.

Just pickled jalapenos. Noting outrageous.

I watched a TV spot, where the TV hosts were prepping to open a package containing one corn chip. This corn chip was infused with a pepper more intense than the The Ghost Pepper.

They mentioned a video of a few girls testing out the chip. From the description they gave of the reaction, the suffering was epic.

Tonight, I was bewildered by all the bleached refined white flour, in my holiday meal.

Wonder Bread and white school paste, is what I was reminded of.

I suppose that all my whole grain versions would seem like dog food, to someone that likes bread that you can compress into a pea sized ball.

I found out what "all natural" blueberry flavor is.
I did not know that a chemical could approximate blueberry scent.
OK in a cologne, but not in food.
I do not know what the chewy bits were, originally.
Like old dessicated gummy bears.

I don't believe most of what they advertise as "natural." And anything "made with" can almost assuredly contain just enough to justify saying it was "made with" on the package.

I haven't bought bread at the store in years. A bread maker was one of the best investments I ever made. 5 or 6 simple ingredients and fills the house with a delicious aroma.

I'll second the homemade bread props. Roasted garlic rosemary, and I don't have a machine. They are different shapes because that's the shape of the enamelled cast iron that I own.

I tried my hand at making bread the really old fashioned way once. Too much work for me to knead dough. I consider a bread maker an acceptable compromise. Those look quite tasty!

I agree with you, I actually use this No Knead recipe. It's super simple, you should really give it a try. You just mix up the dough, let it sit all night, and then dump it into a hot pan in the morning and bake it (don't forget to salt it!). I'm a major sucker for the extra crispy crunch of the crust, so the bread machine just doesn't cut it for me. This is hands down the easiest recipe for bread I have ever come across

"The secret to the texture is to make sure the dough is cold before going in the oven, and not to overbake. "

Sables! *sinks to the floor, with the emotion connected to the weakness of will, to resist the temptation of sables*

(Not at the moment, though. Still have muscle cramps. Including stomach muscles. It is the emotion that counts, for the moment.)

No pinkies were raised during this spread.

And I thought my coffee and biscotti was a dandy breakfast.

I'm not typically a French toast person, but I want that.

Two Crock-Pots full of venison stew are finally going. And I'm fucking exhausted, so it's time for a nap.

I am in envy.

Now, am having nostalgia for chestnuts from the hot cart, and venison.

*eats my oven baked chestnuts and dreams of Denmark rye.*

Must find sourdough starter.
