    MUCH better rise this time. Punched down and back in the fridge for its second rise.

    I set a muffin on fire. Note that I did not say I burned a muffin. I set it on fire.

    Just ran across a new YT channel with some guy named Brad Leone.

    It's a little different than others, but I find it somewhat entertaining. He does a nice mix of cooking and field trips.

    https://www.youtube.com/@bradleone



    His Buffalo Bills tailgate show was quite entertaining where he was going around serving oysters to tailgaters.



    He's kind of full on all the time, so I find small doses helps.

    So..... I had the focaccia recipe all wrong. The recipe calls for 8 grams of yeast. The standard yeast packets are 7 grams. So, close enough right? Wrong. (The white bowl pic is 7 grams, the blue bowl pic is 8 grams)

    And as I read it, I was supposed to proof the bread for the 2nd time in the fridge and then straight into the oven. Also wrong. 2nd proof should be a normal style rise.

    Took the revised loaves to a buddy's Thanksgiving and people who didn't know that I made/brought the bread were "OMG, this bread is so good!!" and "Where did you get this bread? It's amazing!"

    Man oh man... I just made one of the tastiest dishes I've ever made.

    Pork, chicken, prawns, scallops, shallots, all fried up in olive oil with a couple of red chili peppers sliced up and some dried red peppers... lots of garlic, ginger, and a bit of cayenne pepper, with some sun dried tomatoes... added some butter and white wine... a can of diced tomatoes... and then a bunch of pink peppercorn gin hot sauce, followed by some heavy cream and a bunch of shredded Parmesan cheese.

    All over some small egg noodle nests.

    Holy fuck was it tasty.

    Even worse, it was a quick late night snack I whipped up because I didn't have any "real" dinner.

    My wife has done that a few times. She has been like we had protein in the fridge but nothing to really make it with. So I took what ever we had laying around hope it tastes good. And it has been fucking delicious.
