Topped with gorgonzola crumbles and fresh basil. Mmmmm dinner :D

God it was yummy.

You know, every time I bake bread, the two of us finish it all in a day. To cut down on carbs, I’ve started making half loaves.

Half loaf is perfect to slice and arrange on my favorite rectangle plates.

Oh look, and there’s lunch!! :) (Okay, there was A LOT of butter involved but I was too ashamed to take a picture of it)

Yup. Made these today.

Actually, I made them to bring to some friend’s dinner… but I ate 3 of them before we left. WHOOPS :D

Braised ribs and potatoes is such a Chinese thing.

I think…

Or at least, my mom used to make it. It’s definitely one of the things I remember best anyway. Just a pound of pork ribs, chopped into small sections courtesy of your local butcher. Braised in rice wine and water with green onion, ginger, garlic, and salt for an hour. Throw in two potatoes after the hour, along with more rice wine, 1/4 soy sauce, and 3 tablespoons of oyster sauce. Cover and cook until potatoes are soft, about half an hour. Top with chopped green onions and serve with rice.

(And then sop up leftover gravy with more rice…hehe I’m such a fatty)

Made a pan pizza for lunch. Started the dough yesterday after dinner and then some quick assembly today before popping it in the oven at 550 degrees (cast iron skillet yeaaaa).

Recipe at Serious Eats

I made it with whole wheat bread flour with freshly shaved asiago mixed in, a lowfat shredded cheese blend from Trader Joes, spicy Italian sausage, and green peppers :)

Before baking:

In the oven!

Sliced and ready :D

Woke up at 11:30am (don’t judge, I did stay up till 5:30am coding datasets…heh), made some bread, made some brunch with the fresh baked bread.

Didn’t do work today yet, woohoo!
