As a scientist, I won’t only report successes, but also failures. I tried to modify a pizza dough recipe and pivot into focaccia. It didn’t go well.

Yup, that’s pretty much ship’s biscuit with rosemary, olive oil, and Parmesan.

Me: Oh, hell. I didn’t buy bacon and sour cream but did get perogis.

Also me: well, I do have powdered buttermilk, and look, there’s a ham hock I got to do soup with.

ETA:

Tonight’s dinner is turning out better than I anticipated.

It wasn’t as biscuit-y as I thought it was going to be, except the corners. It wasn’t soft, but it had a good mouth feel. I also hot-smoked a salmon filet, and it worked really well with that super-m0ist salmon and some sour cream with dill, garlic powder, and black pepper. It was almost like toast points.

Eating it? Well that’s ANY time. Making it? Huh? You have quinces at this time of year? Where on earth are you?

I turned mine into membrillo last year. Variable results (three batches) but all nicely edible.

Throw it in the blender for excellent bread crumbs!

A question for the foodie types here: when making french toast (pain perdu), how much do you personally like to soak your bread in the batter? I tend to go for just enough that the middle is still bread-y, the live-in psycho insists on making the bread so soggy it almost falls apart.

It depends on what you’re aiming for! With French toast casserole, I like it absolutely drenched and saturated overnight. This produces a custard like dish. For pan-fried, a short soak will do.
