Because today’s field trip to the garden center and tidying up of the apartment wasn’t enough of a turn towards domesticity than my usual hermit mode weekends are, I’m testing a new-to-me bread recipe.

I’m using the King Arthur Flour recipe and I’m in the first proofing stage. So far, things look promising. One of these days, I’ll commit to their monthly bake-along challenge, but for right now, I’m knocking the rust off my baking and cooking skills.

Late night baking: white chocolate chip/milk chocolate chunk cookies the size of my hand.

Guess who has no self control when faced with a pretty new bundt cake pan? Once I get groceries put away, I’m going to break it in with a chocolate cake.

The cold front didn’t last very long. Oh well, it did put me in the mood to cook, which I haven’t done in a very long while.

Things for this weekend:

Chocolate cake - currently in the oven and smelling amazing. Still need to make the ganache to put on top.

Bread - will more than likely make a loaf or two tomorrow or Sunday

Roast chicken - will cook tomorrow

Chicken stock - as soon as I debone the chicken, I’m using the carcass and some wings to make homemade stock in the pressure cooker

Soup - using the stock and chicken meat to make some veggie and noodle soup, plus using up some cans of Hurricane Supply beans for extra protein. Will more than likely make this on Sunday.
