The cooler weather is here and I found a recipe for sumac encrusted lamb with carrot smash. I might try it with a medley of roasted vegetables and then take the leftovers to work on Monday. I will let you know how it goes.

Oh, my gosh, I love both lamb and sumac! Never thought of putting them together, yum

Over the weekend, my cousin fixed dinner for everyone, and it was great. The dish that stood out was a medley of different types of Carrots. Orange, Yellow, and Purple colored ones. She oven roasted them, is a butter sauce, but I swear it tasted like she grilled them. Aside from not knowing Carrots come in a variety of colors, and not just orange, each had a unique flavor and was really good. I've had the leftovers now for two days.

I was just thinking .. a bag of bread flour is $10 (big bag)  a loaf of half decent bread is $3.00+ .. make your own bread folks.  

Buy yeast in the jar instead of packets and keep it in the fridge. Three packets of yeast, 1/2 oz, about $1 here. Jar of yeast, 4 oz, about $3. I keep it in the fridge and it lasts about 2 years.

Sounds delicious! I do sometimes a variation with carrots, turnips, pumpkin, sweet potatoes and parsley root. Mixed with olive oil, salt, pepper garlic and rosemary. In the oven for 20 minutes 200°C

Or make your own sour dough starter instead…  ;-)

My husband has his own sour dough starter and he bakes the most delicious bread ever. It is not difficult, if anybody wants to know, I can write a introduction, or maybe droughtquake will?

I’m no baker. My favorite Aunt used to have a sour dough starter, but she grumbled about needing to take care of it and she got tired of the taste after a while…

 

I’m lazy. I just buy my sour dough bread (local bakery, paper bag; not the in-store bakery version, and definitely not sealed in a plastic bag!) when I go grocery shopping.

I've done that, but I make bread maybe once a week, so the tending of the starter gets tedious.

How often did you tend to it? We do it once a week or, if we go on a journey, we mix it up with flour to crumbs, so it gets preserved. There is also the possibility to freeze it, if you don`t have time.

Got a confession. I asked her how she made the Carrot dish. Turns out it was a premade side from Sam's Club. Was still good.

Sounded good, so I googled orange, yellow and purple carrots roasted in butter sauce, and this came up. Looks tasty...

I think it was a couple times a week, been a few years since I tried it. Also I mostly use a bead machine, since I was given one as a gift, and I still have to add yeast.

Ok, we don`t use a bread machine so I am not familiar with this things. We bake or bread on a special stone in the oven.

This really looks tasty. It is very similar to what I wrote and you could add a lot of different veggis just in the mix. And if you put some chicken, right on top in the oven. There would be a complete very easy meal.

That recipe does look good. The Sam's Club premade one was really good. I was totally shocked it was store bought. A good alternative, I guess, seeing as it was feeding 16 people.

I thought the same when I saw the recipe. I just hope it will taste as good as I think it will

Purple carrots are yum and mixing the colour s would have looked great.

 

Not sure how reliable this is but apparently purple was the norm until someone grew orange ones for the House of Orange. The Dutch favourites then concurred the world.
