I have not heard of Oodiebom today I am sure she is on the way from visiting
her husband. -
Thank you for hosting while Oodiebom is not here. Hope she gets on here soon and hope things are better for her and her husband.

Hi, Oodiebom most likely is visiting her hubby.

Hello Sanibelsheller, how are you feeling? All better now?
-
Better, thank you. How are you?
-
@sanibelsheller doing well. March is going to fast for me here in Florida. I’m sure up North Spring can come sooner. This Winter the weather has been brutal.

I have a question for you. I looked up the recipe you referenced last week, and it was not in my cookbook. I have Baking with Julia – one where great bakers do their specialty. The only potato bread in it was called Rustic Potato Loaf – but it had NO rosemary in it. Was a freeform-ish loaf. What is the title of the cookbook you use for the rosemary-potato loaf? Thanks

I meant to thank you for hosting but I guess I thanked the wrong one. Good to see everyone and Happy ST. Patrick’s Day.

Hi, that is correct, Baking with Julia, written by Dorie Greenspan. It’s under Artisanal Breads, Crusty and Rustic. And it’s called Rustic Potato Loaves. I make it just like the recipe in the book, and I add Fresh Rosemary. You can add Thyme and or cheese also.
Or the herbs of your choice. It’s a great recipe isn’t it?
What else do you enjoy making from this book?-
P.s. I make the Challah bread from this same book quite often. Love it with coffee, and for French Toast.
-
I’ve made quite a few of the recipes (profiteroles, Finnish pulla, vanilla chiffon roll ) , but my all time fav is the Danish. It’s an easy dough. I make the almond and apricot fillings. The strawberry goes really well with the confectioner’s cream, but is to die for if you substitute a cream cheese filling for the pastry cream. Towards the end of the book is a section called Sweet Fillings, and my husband would walk over broken glass for the Bittersweet Chocolate Sauce (hot, over ice-cream)
The basic cake Martha Stewart uses in the Wedding cake if terrific (slightly dense, almost like a pound cake) is pretty good too. But for cakes, I go to the Cake Bible by Rose Levy Berenbaum . Can’t be beat. And a great website is Sallysbakingaddiction.com. Happy baking -
Maxienne, all those sounds delicious. I love to bake, my husband spent 30 years in the US Navy. So he was not home often, unfortunately after he retired from the Navy he was diagnosed with diabetes two. So now I can’t make all the delicious sweets I always wanted to make for him. The difficult part is he was the type of person who always had to have dessert after dinner.

Hi Sanibel and thank you for hosting. I am late because I was with hubby. Found out from his roommate that he slept through breakfast and lunch. I thought dinner on the weekends were brutal and so I made veal with Provolone and a spaghetti mea t sauce. I have to admit it came out rather good. I also included a salad with tomatoes and added 3 plums and honeydew melon for dessert. When I arrived he was sound asleep. The nurse came in to give him his pills to no avail. His dinner sat untouched. Finally at 6:45 pm he awoke long enough to down water and some iced tea. Then he started eating and I stayed. They started him on new medication a few days ago and that may be the reason. He ate a huge meal and tasted the veal. But by that time the hunger had vanished. He asked for homemade pizza for tomorrow. The nurse on duty will take a blood sample to make sure there is no infection.

Hi Oodiebom,
Glad you made it here. Good to know how your husband is doing. That medication may be the culprit of his sleeping. I am glad he woke up and enjoyed your cooking. -
Hi xango. Actually, he ate the meal from the rehab. It was a tuna sandwich on white bread. He didn’t eat the bread and said the tuna needed relish (guess he missed the way I make it). He also had mashed potatoes which he left. He tasted the veal and loved what I made, but that was all he ate. He drank some water and the iced tea. He had veggies (Romaine lettuce) and I added the salad dressing that was in a small package. Dessert looked like butterscotch pudding with some kind of small cookies. I brought honeydew melon which he ate along with a tomato and 3 plums. The nurse tonight is the one I really like and he does not like his patients not eating and instead sleep. I stayed to make sure the meal was not taken away. I will try to get there tomorrow for lunch and will stay through dinner.

Good to see you and I know you are tired. I am glad your husband was able to
enjoy your cooking.If he wants homemade pizza is is going to be alright. 🌹
Just rest for now. ✨

Sheba, the homemade pizza is soft. He likes the topping which should be OK. I may leave the onions out as it may make the p izza too watery. Instead yellow and orange peppers and maybe some meatballs that can be cut into small pieces. He probably won’t eat more than two pieces. I am also considering angel hair spaghetti with stir fried veggies. Most of the food he is eating is more or less pureed. He is having some problem swallowing. But, he always had that problem because his esophagus is narrow.
-
You and Xango are wonderful cooks and so am I. I will be knocking on your door in Florida
one day with Shoelady and Xango in hand.Be ready. 😎✨🌹
