Stabler is about to loose it on this guy

 

[jagee]

Had a nice dinner @ the BIL's. Followed with a good cigar. Time for a nitecap.

I've had zero alcohol for 8 weeks...

 

[jagee]

Bed time.

You're up late.

I am too really. Slept until noon to recoup from lack of sleep throughout the week. Now I'm wide awake.

We went to a cookout. The power went out just as I was putting my bread in the oven that I was supposed to take. The cowboy beans stayed hot in the crock pot and I just plugged it in when we got there. So...the bread sat in the oven all day and I turned the oven back on when we got home. I have no idea if it will be edible, but if not...I would have had to toss it to the birds anyway so I figured I'd let it bake for a bit and see what happens. It is definitely overproofed, but it might be okay to chew on.

It was a nice night for a bonfire though.

I was also in the middle of doing laundry when the power went out so I have the dryer running and a load in the washer. I'll probably crochet for an hour or so and unwind before I head to bed.

I once forgot about a pan of rolls I had proofing (the kind you can buy that's basically a bag of frozen dough balls). They sat on top the dryer for almost 8 hours and completely puffed together and over the edge of the pan. I punched it down, kneaded it a litttle, formed it into a boule, gave it a 30 min second rise and baked it. Turned out WAY better than the rolls made correctly.

 

[mom45]

Sorry...I wandered off. Forgot I was also in the middle of ordering parts for the Polaris hubby is fixing on Ebay when the power went out. I had to find the part # again so I could get that ordered.


The bread was half baked when we left and I just left it in the oven. I turned the oven back on and left it in for a half hour or so...we'll see tomorrow how hard it is. Hubby likes crusty, chewy bread so this might be just right. If not, I'll make another batch.

I'm out for the night.

Night Chez and anyone else still lurking about.

Good morning Pdubs!

 

[Expat]

Two nights in Cincinnati make me happy to be back home last night.

 

[Expat]

Coffe tastes good this morning.

I hate standing for hours at a time. My back hurts after awhile.

 

[Expat]

Then the fronts of the legs go numb...

 

[Expat]

Walking doesn't do that just standing.

 

[Expat]

Of course no carrying there... because of work.
