Legs ready to markout:
The kitchen is nice and cool and if I piddle around in it good things to eat result. Today it is bread, pickled jalapenos, and pickled cabbage. Both the cabbage and the jalapenos are in a sweet Vietnamese pickle. First taste is a winner.
I've been thinking about a pepper sauce for awhile. It's simple, just jalapenos, garlic, a little cumin, vinegar, sugar, and salt and a touch of yeast. Right now it is damn good, I'll let it ferment for a day or so to see what happens.
Almost time to cut the bread.

Pickled cabbage?? You have strange taste my friend :-)
ReplyDeleteI have the same problem here, hot days, sweating in the shop until i cannot see between the sweat in my glasses and the fine saw dust sticking to it. Dehumidifier running full blast. Oh well, ill take it, its not snowing :-)
Bob, who will take Rudy for his annual check up to the vet today
Bob,
DeleteOne of the things I really miss is pickled celery, it was served with almost every meal in The Sudan. It had a different pickle that I have not been able to reproduce and I can't find it in any market. Guess I'll have to make a Sudan trip someday :-).
When I woking by hand I can direct the fan and the sweat dries quickly. Working on the machines it drips on everything and causes rust to bloom quickly. A PITA to deal with, easier to just work early or at night.
Rudy deserves a extra treat today, at least that is what I think Sam wolfed or maybe he just wanted one for himself.

I would take a workbench build break for a slice of that bread with butter. I'd pass on the pickled stuffed - I don't eat anything that even has a hint of sour to it.
ReplyDeleteRalph,
DeleteI did and it sure was good :-).
I grew up living between several cultures with different food traditions so there was always different things on the table. Then my working life was spent traveling. Add in I learned to be a foodie at my mother's knee along with an interest in other cultures plus a willingness to talk to strangers had me trying a lot of different foods over my life. My one rule was if I saw two people eating it I'd give it a go. There have been a few clunkers but for the most part I've discovered some amazing things to eat. Some have left a life of craving to experience it again.
