    MUCH better rise this time. Punched down and back in the fridge for its second rise.

    I set a muffin on fire. Note that I did not say I burned a muffin. I set it on fire.

    Just ran across a new YT channel with some guy named Brad Leone.

    It's a little different than others, but I find it somewhat entertaining. He does a nice mix of cooking and field trips.

    His Buffalo Bills tailgate show was quite entertaining where he was going around serving oysters to tailgaters.



    He's kind of full on all the time, so I find small doses helps.

    So..... I had the focaccia recipe all wrong. The recipe calls for 8 grams of yeast. The standard yeast packets are 7 grams. So, close enough right? Wrong. (The white bowl pic is 7 grams, the blue bowl pic is 8 grams)

    And as I read it, I was supposed to proof the bread for the 2nd time in the fridge and then straight into the oven. Also wrong. 2nd proof should be a normal style rise.

    Took the revised loaves to a buddy's Thanksgiving and people who didn't know that I made/brought the bread were "OMG, this bread is so good!!" and "Where did you get this bread? It's amazing!"

    Man oh man... I just made one of the tastiest dishes I've ever made.

    Pork, chicken, prawns, scallops, shallots, all fried up in olive oil with a couple of red chili peppers sliced up and some dried red peppers... lots of garlic, ginger, and a bit of cayenne pepper, with some sun dried tomatoes... added some butter and white wine... a can of diced tomatoes... and then a bunch of pink peppercorn gin hot sauce, followed by some heavy cream and a bunch of shredded Parmesan cheese.

    All over some small egg noodle nests.

    Holy fuck was it tasty.

    Even worse, it was a quick late night snack I whipped up because I didn't have any "real" dinner.

    My wife has done that a few times. She has been like we had protein in the fridge but nothing to really make it with. So I took what ever we had laying around hope it tastes good. And it has been fucking delicious.
