| 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,
|
