Peteyfoozer’s Journey (because journaling’s not enough)

[peteyfoozer]

It’s bitterly cold today. Heavy winds, below freezing temps, I nearly popsicled out just getting the laundry, cause we don’t have a washer and dryer inside the house. It’s outside, in the same room as the well pump.

In other news, one of the Cowboys’ young wife texted and asked if I would sell them a loaf of bread every week because they don’t like the stuff they buy at the store and I gave them a loaf last summer.
She doesn’t cook so I said I’d be happy to make them bread every week. They just needed to tell me what kind of bread they wanted. They want sourdough to start out, but I was thinking maybe I’ll make them some soup too, because I could send over soup and French bread… if you were gonna give somebody soup, what kind would you give them and what would you put it in?

Wow - that is soo cool!! As for soup - anything is good by me. There's always the old standby list - tomato, potato, onion, chicken noodle/rice. Of course there's always things like chili
Adding carrot soup and roasted butternut squash soup

Texas Cowboy Stew.

Texas Cowboy Stew

This hearty cowboy stew with ground beef, kielbasa, potatoes, beans, and lots of veggies is a stovetop favorite that can also be made in the crockpot.

I am getting to that age where it's rude to pull out a bottle of ibuprofen if you don’t have enough for everyone…

No joke!!!!!
It's almost as bad as pulling out a pack of gum or mints! You shake a couple into your hand & look around and everyone has a hand out!

Today is the day I make my loaf of bread for the young cowboy and his wife. Or is it the cowgirl and her husband? He is one of the ranch triplets and she rides alongside him, gathering, roping and branding. Anyway, them.

Dumb to be validated by something so trivial as someone asking for you to make them bread, but this is where life has brought me.

Not trivial at all! Not everyone can make bread. While I can do sour dough most of my attempts at bread are paper weights. From what I see online not many can do sourdough.
But - Geeze baking is an art!
She will appreciate the bread.

I am a bread baker in a low carb era.
