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...

Why are you so judgmental about how much food other people eat?

And, yes, I saw the winking emoticon. It's not funny.

Grin, this isn't store bought bread. 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....

On occasion, yes! As we all are, definitely Cindy included. She

Probably because he knows we eat lots of bread here and was messing
with me! 10 minutes and the next set is out of the oven.

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

time.

What are you nattering on about?? I wasn't even in this discussion as I had
nothing to say.

So nicely done, Carol. Nothing better than fresh and warm right
out of the oven bread. I really do envy your energy to constantly
make your own.

It's easy too! Takes like 5 minutes of your time once used to it.

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.

It was because you use an ABM. But now, because of arthritis in my hands,
guess what I am using now?

At least we are still making our own

Maybe! 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.
