Yesterday I got home from work a little early, and decided to do some cooking. Sometimes when you try to do too much …. I tried this Chez Pim pie crust<\/a> for a cherry pie with the cherries<\/a> we brought back from our Washington Island trip<\/a>. And I read “8 oz. butter” as one stick – thinking 8 tablespoons, I guess. And I wondered why the crust seemed so dry ….\u00a0 I tasted a piece, baked as a pie crust cookie with cimmy sugar, and it was fine – but not significantly better than my standard<\/a>. Guess now I know why.<\/p>\n

I also made a round challah<\/a> for Rosh Hashanah – or could’ve been shabat, since it was Friday night. On tasting it today, it seems a little dry – I think I overbaked it a bit. Sigh.\u00a0 But it will be good for grilled cheese sandwiches or French toast – maybe my new favorite grilled cheese – sharp cheddar with American Spoon tomato jam<\/a> – Hey David<\/a> – your sister eats cheese sandwiches with jam, too.<\/p>\n

I made stir fry beef and separate veggies with tofu, and rice cooked in my own home made veggie broth for supper – that was all good<\/a>. And I blanched and skinned and bagged and froze 1\/3 of my 25-pound CSA box of tomatoes, and right before I went to bed, I put in another 1\/3 to slow roast. They came out fine, too – this<\/a> is an earlier batch, but these looked a lot the same.<\/p>\n

So now I guess I’ll just have to try that crust again, I want to make tomato tart<\/a> with some of that last 1\/3 of the tomatoes, and I also have leeks for a leek tart<\/a> this week. I have brunch tomorrow, but I’m making potato pancakes<\/a>, not pies, and they’re gonna be potato-carrot, not zucchini. At the farmers’ market this morning, I concluded that zucchini vines must die off from frost sooner than the cucumbers because everyone had cukes, and no one had zucchini. I also just decided, whil riding my bike back from the library, that grated carrot in the cakes would be better than grated butternut squash – because raw grated carrot is a lot tastier than underdone squash.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
