I mentioned I tried making oyster stew and messed up.
Well, I used some of the ideas from that same base but shifted it. Charlotte graduated Navy Bootcamp and is home for Christmas leave as of last night. We went grocery shopping and got some of her favorite stuff plus stocked up basic scratch cooking items. HT had sliced Portabella mushrooms for 50cents to 75cent packs (the 75 cents had 2 whole large caps, the 50cents looked like 2.5 sliced large caps). Portabella cream of mushroom soup! The recipe is a little involved but completely worth it. Slice mushrooms until you have about 3 cups (or a little more) diced. Estimate 3 full caps. Recipe says you can filler with other types. 1.5 cups chicken broth (could use a vegetable one), add mushrooms and about 1/2 C diced onion then 3 sliced cloves of garlic and a black pepper grinder (1/8ts or so). Simmer 10 minutes. Set aside to cool. 3TB butter, let melt and add 3TB flour. Wisk to smoothe then slowly add 1/2c heavy cream and 1/2c milk, wisk over low heat until smooth. Put the mushroom and broth mix in blender and process until only smaller bits are evident (semi-smooth) then add to the milk mix and heat until it simmers about 5 minutes for final thickening. No clue how leftovers would work because there aren't any.... Served it with 1/2 a slice each person of toasted buttermilk bread made about 4 days ago. Very nice... |

Hand sliced thicker (think Texas Toast) and bigger so cut in half. There was plenty more if any wanted more (I did and got 2 1/2 slices). I have another batch going since we ate that all up. I think I will make 4 fat French bread type shapes with them. I'll slit one and make gatlic bread with it. Back in a bit as I have to make the garlic butter up and the bread gets shaped in about 10 minutes.... Carol |

I made 4 long thinnish loaves, each roughly 1/2lb. |

Today, one of those died a happy death as garlic bread. Another one met it's end as a sub-samwich with ham, gouda, roast beef, and horseradish mayo. They happily RIP now. THere is a breadmaker newsgroup (or was) but unfortunately they became insular after a main poster left. It happened when I took a total newsgroup break of about 2 years then came back (here and there). LOL, they didn't like me and said so, so I left. |

Some stuff about me not being James Beard perfect in how I posted crept in as well? I have a mixed flour batch just now, with 1 part Spelt, 1 part all purpose, and 2 parts high gluten white. I miss talking about bread making with other bread makers but it hasn't stopped me. I do other stuff too. https://wtkr.com/2019/11/26/man-gets...-cold-winters/ Charlie has very limited income. Making his own bread with a simple bread machine is happening. Charlie has had no electricity since May 2010, other than a leech line for 3-4 lamps from a generous neighbor. Heat fully working from the wood stove. The electric actually doesn't come in until about New Years but he has a bread machine due in and all the stuff he needs for 6 months of bread making plus his first refridgerator in 10 years (small grumble, blocking my kitchen just now). We are restocking his wood. It's all coming together over the next month or so. |
