Pre-Fall Cooking
My feet a curled up, trying to keep warm in the crisp air of the living room - it's 66 and I do not want to think about wimping out and turning on the heat. It's fall, and I love it. The Pecan tree out the windows are starting to yellow, the Farmer's Market yesterday was a hubbub of people wearing sweaters and light coats, and even though hit the lower 70s during the late afternoon, the chill of low 50s is there. I'm celebrating Fall as much as possible, before the yo-yo of reality (hot, freezing, too warm, freaking cold) returns.
With Fall comes cooking. We've been busy with all kinds, so here's a random sampling of late Summer goodies...Ryan baked for our last dinner club, and made two incredible pieces of bread. We always joke about the word "artisanal" and how cheesy it makes cheese, chocolate, or TV dinners sound...but this was truly artisanal bread.
Pain de Campagne - a big, bold, hearty French bread
A few other goodies...
Artisanal Egg Salad - Farmers Market Eggs and Spinach, Homemade bread

Email me and tell me how you made that bread - did you need a special stone to bake it on?? I am on a huge bread making kick. As soon as it gets the teensist bit chilly, I want homemade bread :)
I want your egg salad recipe. I LOVE egg salad.
Sent ya the recipes (from 100 Great Breads) and it was baked just on cookie sheets with a Silpat silicone sheet. They are the BOMB!
And Karlyn, it was literally hardboiled eggs (cubed), Hellman's mayo, creamed horseradish, stoneground full mustard, and a bit of French's mustard for that hella-yellow color. Suit amounts to taste and top with Spinach! MMmmm!
