Pan seared and oven finished T-Bone. Finally got a new cast iron pan.

Made a variation of my normal bagel recipe. Half the yeast, salt and sugar, added a bit of gluten and lengthened the boiling time. The good- chewy, good flavour and pretty quick to make. The less good- they didn't darken as much as I like nor get as shiny and they rose more than I prefer. More molasses in the boiling water next time, a minute more on each side of the bake and I might try halfway between on the yeast, salt and sugar equation.

Next- the current world means I am not ducking out for some cream cheese etc. So Mrs K took some mascarpone and blended with chives, capers and lemon juice. No cold smoked salmon or even lox but I had some leftover beet cured steelhead trout that I made a while back.

Loving soups. Made carrot, mushroom, spinach, pea and tonight Leek and potato. Really, really tasty.

Looks good, but Iwould have to add ham to it. Something about potato’s and ham makes me happy! But it looks good1

Is there a vegan alternative for blue cheese. Any potato leek/ asparagus/cauliflower/ broccoli soup situation rises to an entirely new level with the introduction of even the crappiest blue cheese on earth. If there is an alternative, I highly recommend it, even if you don't like blue cheese.

Thanks. I'm not vegan in Turkey - not possible really. I try and keep my dairy consumption low but could consider a nibble of the blue stuff...

The Madame Jeanette seeds finally arrived the day after I started so they are in the seedling starter too now. Next up will be celeriac, then squash and just a couple weeks before planting the radicchio. My hope for the peppers is they will be filling gallon containers by the time they are ready to go outside.
