Have you ever seen a more lovely loaf of bread? 🍞

Have you ever seen a more lovely loaf of bread? 🍞
The sort of thing Jackie might say on any ordinary day (such as today):
“Consider using a shallot as your allium in today’s lunch.”
(To be fair, just yesterday I told her I wasn’t using the shallots, assuming that she’d gotten them with some particular dish in mind.)
The very first breakfast Jackie ever cooked for me was some Tassajara Bread book pancakes. (They’re special because you beat the egg whites and fold them in, which makes the pancakes super light and fluffy.)
Jackie is away to attend a tapestry weaving workshop, so today I decided to make my own pancakes.
Is this not an especially lovely loaf?
The brats are “Sheboygan” brats, which according to the woman at Olde Time Meats are the same as regular brats except they have more black pepper. The skewers vary slightly: Mine has an extra purple onion; Jackie’s has an extra yellow pepper.
For our main meal of the day, I cooked Kerala Roadside Chicken with shallots and red chilies. And red cabbage (cooked by @jackieLbrewer and not a traditional Kerala dish, she admits).
While we wait for my Kerala Roadside Chicken to finish marinating, @jackieLbrewer and I have proceeded to the beer drinking phase of cooking. She has a Tasmanian IPA, while I’m having a Fear Movie Lions.
Soon to be flourless chocolate cake.
