My 3 year old niece made me a pizza:

It’s 10:30 on a Sunday night, but this smoked pork in the fridge keeps calling my name

That was really entertaining! I’ve never heard of Velveeta fudge before but I love how that’s also known as “trailer truffles” according to the Reddit posters. :joy:
And I love how the watermelon soup recipe includes that you should: “prepare for a very sweet soup, and lots of leftovers.”
:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Oh, I concur whole heartedly. But also insist that gazpacho of any type not be simmered for 2 hours :grimacing:

too freakin hot and humid (88F and 80+% humidity = heat inex over 100F) to do anything outside, so piddled around in the kitchen.
made my signature Guinness bread again. i do love how simple it is, but so rich and smells heavenly. fresh out of the oven with butter and a bit of marmite!

only ingredients are:
one bottle Guinness Extra Stout
one Tbs active dry yeast
one Tbs sugar
one Tbs sesame oil (delightful smell and flavor)
AP flour add enough to make into a consistent bread dough - about 2-3 C (i just add until it feels right)
proof to rise double, then again in pans.
bake 35 min @ 360F.
i also do a lighter “white bread” version in which one 12oz Yuengling lager is swapped for the Guinness. also a favorite!

That sounds great!
It also strikes me as funny that someone from the south thinks, “it’s too hot and humid to be outside
I know! I’ll bake!” :joy::joy::joy:
Hardly anyone up here has AC, so that would be the last thing on our minds!

right! ac runs year-round day and night. we have a large carbon footprint that i am not proud of.
i am, however, very pleased with this bread!

I now have an excuse to stop and buy Guinness.

It’s for baking I swear!

  1. Is that a typo, or do you run the oven at 360Âș instead of 350Âș

  2. Not sure if you knew that Yuengling is a vocal Trump supporter?

yup, as writ, 360F. why? cuz that’s what great gram said back when she taught me. she also used bacon grease instead of oil. man, that was some bread!
bummer about yuengling. it is the go-to around here if you don’t like over-hopped “island ipa”. i’ll choose an Islamorada Ale any day, but not all pubs serve it
 bonus is it’s local.
but back to the bread, one could use any beer, ale, lager
 it’s your taste, man! i chose yuengling cuz of a neutral flavor. TIL their politics ain’t neutral.

You cannot override Gram’s instructions, of course!

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!
