old bread, eggs, buttermilk, kale, white beans, herbs ( a lot), hot pepper, parmesan, pesto, breadcrumbs, oh and bacon, smoky cheek bacon, from here. I added the bacon because it is delicious, but also to entice J. to eat it. Guess what? He still wants to eat it with a pork chop. And actually, I'd put that on a menu: brined ham shoulder steak with savory white bean and kale bread pudding, pesto, chive blossoms, what do you think? Would you order it?
J. and I also had a bake-off this morning. I made oat flour, ginger, and peach muffins. He made chocolate nut cookies. The muffins are gone but maybe I'll take some photos of the cookies later. I don't know who won, I'd have to say we both did and the neighbors made out pretty well too. But I've decided to revise my position on muffins, from total rejection to partial acceptance. I like my muffins, fresh, moist, small, not especially sweet, plenty of fruit. I'm really excited about this new cookbook, more on that later, of course I couldn't just follow a dang recipe, had to make changes, luckily no disasters, this time, though I almost did forget to add the eggs.
