Historian Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Today for lunch i had the tomato, basil, salt olive, oil, some wonderful olives...a can of sardines, a bit of French bread, and some nice cheese. Yeah. That's pretty much where it is. Going to call mom tonight. It's been a day or two since i talked to her. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 I get these frozen tuna "steaks" that are 4" across and 2" thick. Let them thaw in the fridge overnight and eat them with only a sharp knife. Fresh soy, if I have it. Old soy just turns into vinegar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFCSMITH(RET) Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Pretty much this right here.. My bread, from fresh ground wheat, my mom's jelly.. I get a care package every year, as do all my siblings, and a few chosen people.. LOL I don't know how long she will still be able to make it. The poms are from trees in their "front yard" they planted the year they bought the property, part of an orchard area my dad wanted.. 50 years later still producing well. But at 80, she is getting to where it is a lot more work then she likes, to make up 200 or so jars every fall. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minervadoe Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 (edited) Microwave popcorn. A real treat that is easy to prepare. Win! Win! Artichoke hearts (right out of the can). Low in calories.

Growing up my dad would make the best jelly from blackberries and raspberries on our property. We moved away, sadly, from that place but we live in strawberry and blueberry county. Every once in a while i present him with a five gallon bucket of fruit that gets turned into a memory.

Not the kind that come in a bread-loaf wrapper from the supermarket. They're just brown hockey pucks. (Like most all bagels. Just hard chewy jerky. My friend once took me to ye olde bagel place in some decrepit neighborhood in NYC. I think they steamed (?) them. Melt in your mouth. With cream cheese made by some old grannies (babushkas).) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just softened, not sure what it would do if it was melted, probably at most would change the texture a little is all. I've also covered it in dark chocolate. Best done after it's cooled and cut into squares, of it will break off when you try to cut it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Historian Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 French bread. Not made in America. Made in France, by someone who buys small batch grain, who puts a finger in the air and says the temperature is 58 degrees, so we need this much yeast, this much water...and an old stove that has made generations bread.

You clearly know how to use your tools and what the conditions are that make great bread. Apparently, the art to bread is temperature, heat control and quality grains and yeast. I would look forward to this tasty challenge! Edited April 21, 2020 by Historian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
