Made a cream sauce with flour, butter, chicken stock and heavy cream.  Added a tablespoon of tomato paste and a bunch of fresh tarragon.  Tossed the sauce with some cooked pasta, and topped it off with some grilled salmon.  Sorry, no pictures.

Made some tapioca yesterday as I needed a dessert fix ;)  Otherwise, working on the wood fired oven and not cooking much.  You can see pics by clicking HERE   Sort-of like waiting for your TM to arrive, once we're done with the oven, it has to temper for a few weeks with increasingly hot fires, starting out with just newspaper and on up to a full firing.  The purpose is to try to push moisture out of the masonry or it can expand and crack various components...  All in good time, but I can't wait to bake some bread :)

Also, this weekend is a BBQ competition, so... I'll continue among the missing.

Hi Guys.... I'll be a little scarce for a bit.  Took on a new project :)  Gonna build a wood fired oven on my patio !!!  Really excited about it.  I'm busy sourcing supplies and getting started.  Build the block base today...

Anyway, this weekend I did have time to reproduce a desert I had in a Montreal Restaurant, Brunoise, which has since closed it's doors.  It's a pana cotta served with basil syrup and passion fruit seeds.  It is outstanding in hot weather !!!!  You can find the recipe HERE

Happy anniversary TM !!!!

We're heading home tomorrow.  Bought 8 pounds (little over 3 Kilos) of meat (tails, claws, and knuckles ) to take home with us and freeze.  Also 3 bags of lobster bodies (about $1.50 for a bag weighing 3 -4 pounds) to make stock with.  I'm not real big on just eating lobster, but i LOVE lobster bisque.  RECIPE HERE

As to the torrone, I have some rice paper on order  that should have arrived while I was away.  Maybe I'll give this a shot this weekend again :)

And if the soft one overloaded my TM, I can imagine what the 3 hour version would do....  I'll have to figure something out...  Maybe removing the butterfly and turning up the speed a bit....

Will be a bit before I can try again, we took some time off and went to Maine for LOBSTER !!!!!

Tried this yesterday, but it stayed way too soft for me.  I didn't have rice paper, so I put it between pieces of parchment sprayed with Pam....  Stuck tight :(  Let it sit overnight, but it remains pullably soft and sticky. 

Also, it overloaded my TM.  Towards the end, I could get it to run for about a minute or so before it would go off on overload again.  Could this be a difference between the 220 and 110 model?  Live in the States, "No torrone for you!"

Used to travel down to August Moon pretty frequently years ago, then the staff (and owners? ) changed and it wasn't the same.  We've been back a few times, but nothing special enough for the trip (Norristown is about an hour away depending on traffic).

Rudi, is there a reason you wanted the 220 version as opposed to the 110?

You're about 45 minutes away.  2 exits up the Northeast Extension, then a bit North West to the booming megalopolis of Bally, PA :)  Big fans of Blue Fin, down in your area, but I don't get down there often enough ;)
