Lorenzo" <gregj.lorenzo@shaw.ca> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Sunday, November 09, 2003 14:49 Subject: Re: [Leica] OT FOOD | Today is a Food day here too: | | 1:00 am: Making a pastrami dry rub for 4 lbs of brisket of Alberta beef | (from an 18 month old grass fed Angus of 1150 lbs). By 2:00am the coated | meat goes into the downstairs fridge to be turned over every 12 hours | while it sits for 72 hours. It will be slow smoked over maple for | approximately 8 hours on Wednesday then steamed for 3 hours and ready | for dinner Thursday night. | | 11:30 am: Making two large batches of bread dough, one batch for bread | and cinnamon buns, one batch for tonight's supreme pizza with the extra | pizza dough into a plastic bag and into the freezer. Cinnamon buns are | just out of the oven, bread will be ready in 15 minutes. | | 3:30 pm: Making 3 quarts of vanilla ice cream, the cream is on a slow | burner heating right now waiting for the sugar, egg yokes and vanilla to | be added. | | While the pizza cooks later tonight, one jar of homemade tomato sauce | will be converted into spaghetti sauce for tomorrow night's pasta or | gnocchi dinner. | | When my girls were younger the wife worked 12.5 hours both days every | second weekend. I helped them make bread, shop at the farmers market or | dig vegetables out of ground at a local market garden. In the winter we | would shop at the Italian and other ethnic markets. All organic of course. | | Regards, | | Greg | | Marc James Small wrote: | | >At 01:20 PM 11/9/03 -0500, Tina Manley wrote: | > | > | >>Come back home, Kit!
