We ordered from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds this year. I want to try to grow everything from seed. I may have bitten off more than I can chew because my thumb isn't very green. However, Tim's is! He is confidant that he can get it all done in time. (Notice I said HE can get it done. Ha!) Our last frost is around the end of March to mid April so I guess we still have a bit of time. I am very excited to see and taste some of these unusual varieties. I want to have enough surplus this year to can and dehydrate as much as possible.
I'm not much of a football fan, but Tim wanted to watch the Super Bowl so I decided to make Beef & Vegetable Soup, and some homemade rolls. The recipe for the rolls was not very specific and I kind of bluffed my way through it. Now, mind you, I have very little knowledge of what to do in a kitchen so this was a big step for me. I had planned to make hard rolls, but they turned out soft and sweet. They were good, just not what I was trying to accomplish. I found another recipe on the web and will try that tomorrow.
Here is the simmering soup and the dough getting started.
Look at that dough rise!
Yum, yum! Just what I needed for a cold day of Super Bowl commercials :)
And last, but not least, the first ever rolls from "scratch" to come out of my kitchen.
Thanks for stopping by!
