Quantum Multiverse of Cooking ..... or How I Learned to Bake a Croissant
Quantum Multiverse of Cooking
or .....
How I Learned to Bake a Croissant
Well, bake a croissant ..... might ..... be a stretch. I know how to defrost it and then bake it until brown.
BUT THAT COUNTS!!!!
And a very busy ..... Quantum Multiverse ..... of baking and cooking this weekend, so just the quick update with photos! LOL!
First BREAD! Decided to make a 2 lb. loaf of garlic cheese, and it mostly turned out. Not that garlic-ey, so need to put more garlic in. Not quite that cheesey, so need more Parmesan, and definitely won't do the 2 lb again. Bread machine STRUGGLED to keep up, and I had to add some water to make it a bit more consistent, part way through. Top part still looks a meteorite landed in my backyard ..... but I like crusty bread anyways!
Then, made the croissants from frozen, leaving overnight to puff up ..... but they didn't! So baked them anyways and they turned out perfectly!!! DELICIOUS! Just beginner's luck though!
Then, leftovers ..... LOTS OF THEM! Grabbed the last few chicken breasts from the freezer, and oven roasted them all! About half were with Panko, the other half with cracker crumbs and lots of leftovers now!
Then a busy weekend down to the museum to see IMAX and the MAMMOTH! My favourite part of the museum! Wonder what THAT tasted like! LOL!

Perfectly done! Next time - would add more herbs! |
And then, about 30 minutes or so before serving, pour in the secret ingredient: 1/2 cup of Guinness!!!

Quantum Slow Cook Pot Roast and the Uncertainty Bread Principle
Quantum Slow Cook Pot Roast
and the
Uncertainty Bread Principle
MORE QUANTUM POT ROAST! And another try at bread making, but with fresh yeast and special flour for bread making! The right tools in the ..... right hands! LOL!
Standard ingredients: pot roast, onions, garlic, mushrooms, potatoes, carrots, beef broth, red wine, all sorts of spices to suit your taste buds, etc. Easily found on The Google.
Quantum ingredients, but CERN not needed. But I am fairly sure they like pot roast too! Red wine for sure! |
Just like when getting ready for winter, layering is important! |
And at the same time, started a 'New Adventures in Bread Making' as last time, it was a complete and utter disaster. This time, fresh yeast, fresh bread flour and a clean conscience!
And was also trying to time it all, so below are the time lapse videos of ingredients, start, mid-way through and .. THE REVEAL!!!!!!
AND THE BREAD TURNED OUT FABULOUS TOO!
Perfect timing too for dinner with some special home made smoked cheese from a new colleague!
DELICIOUS ON FRESHLY MADE BREAD!!!!
Add some fabulous red wine, freshly made and cut bread, smoked cheese, crunchy kale salad with fresh tomatoes, lemon poppy seed dressing, grated smoked cheese on top and it is a Top 10 Meal! EASY TOO! Oh, and of course, some World Class Crown Royal Rye Whiskey afterwards!!
AND LEFTOVERS!
I HAVE LEFTOVERS FOR THIS WEEK!!!!
残り物には福がある。 (Nokorimono ni wa fuku ga aru) Literally: Luck exists in the leftovers.
Meaning: There is luck in the last helping.
