Artisan Bread

  Preheat oven 450 degrees 

3 cups warm water 100 degrees

1 and 1/2 T yeast

1 and 1/2 T salt

6-7 cups flour

    We got this recipe from North Ogden magazine.

     3 cups of water put in large bowl, 1.5 T of yeast, then add 1.5 T salt. Add 6-7 cups of flour. And mix together. Let the dough sit in the bowl 1 hour, or if overnight put it in the fridge. 

    Once it has risen put flour on counter, take the dough out of the bowl put it in the flour. Form a giant burrito shape, cut in half and form two balls of dough. Let rise on a cookie sheet with corn meal and put the two balls on the cookies sheet,  for 30-40 minutes. 

    Preheat oven 450 degrees. Cook for 20-30 minutes.  Before putting in the oven get a knife and cut a X shape on the bread. Put the cookie sheet in the oven before closing pour one cup of water at the bottom of the oven then quickly shut the door. 

    Let cool enjoy!

All Recipes

DBL     Original

 4c     2 cups uncooked jasmine rice (I did sushi rice)
 8c     4 cups water

            4 garlic cloves

 8       4 skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into small pieces

 2       1 onion, cut in this slices

4c      2 cups dashi/chicken/beef/veggie stock, made with dashi powder (I did 1-2 T fish sauce)

1/2c  ¼ cup soy sauce

6T      3 tablespoons mirin (Japanese rice wine) or i did Rice Wine vinegar

6T      3 tablespoons brown sugar

8         4 large eggs 

Can add the last 3 min of cooking-  any vegetable- julienned carrots, zucchini

Could add on the top- avocado, lime, green onions

• This is a simple and quick dish to make- two pots- one for rice and one for chicken stock soup recipe.

•  Rinse the rice in 3 to 4 changes of water until the rinse water is almost clear, and drain off the rinse water. Bring the rice and 4 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.

• Step 2   Place the chicken in a nonstick skillet with a lid, and cook and stir over medium heat until the chicken is no longer pink inside and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in the onion, and cook and stir until the onion is soft, about 5 more minutes. Pour in the stock, and whisk in soy sauce, mirin, and brown sugar, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil, and let simmer until slightly reduced, about 10 minutes.
• Step 3  Whisk the eggs in a bowl until well-beaten, and pour over the chicken and stock. Cover the skillet, reduce heat, and allow to steam for about 5 minutes, until the egg is cooked. Remove from heat.
• Step 4   To serve, place 1 cup of cooked rice per bowl into 4 deep soup bowls, top each bowl with 1/4 of the chicken and egg mixture, and spoon about 1/2 cup of soup into each bowl.

Sister, I am with you

From FB on june 12

Mood:

Not everyone is gonna like you.

Not everyone is gonna choose you, or get you, or have your back. Not everyone is gonna invite you. Not everyone is gonna claim you as their favorite, or their best friend. Not everyone is gonna trust you. Not everyone is gonna save you a seat, or tell you their secrets, or include you on every group text.

And it’s okay.

Is it fun? No, not especially, but it is part of life.

And the sooner we learn that it’s not our job to please everyone, or chase everyone, or beg them that we are worth liking, the better off we’ll be.

Be good to everyone. Don’t purposely give people a reason not to trust you, but save your energy for the ones who choose you, and lift you up, and make room for you at their table.

Your energy, and your time and your heart is precious. It’s okay to protect it.

Follow Sister I am with you for more.
