Super Sunday (cooking) Slam

This evening, after I put Joey to bed I:

Pasteurized the milk
Made yogurt
Made bread this way
Made granola
Setup the slow cooker for tomorrow dinner
Blanched tomatoes for Tuesdays dinner

And I finished this book.
Then I had this beer.

And now I'm going to bed.

  1. Wow! Very impressive. Why are you pasteurizing milk? (Do you have goats now? Maybe I missed a critical post.) ;)
    What did you think of Origins?

  2. Aha! Now I see the milk post. Nevermind on that one. I am very impressed with how far you go for high quality food.

  3. Thanks! I was just reflecting that each one of these things used to take me all night, but now I know how long it takes the milk to cool, heat, the bread to rise, etc. so I can do other things instead of checking it every 30 seconds.

    I like Origins if only because it directly addresses the field I study. She had several factual inaccuracies and made some pretty big leaps on the basis of one or two studies. She also collapses lots of factors that have widely varying pathways of influence under a single umbrella explanation in a few sections. I also didn't like the way she cited her sources. It was unnecessarily awkward. But I still think it's a good read if only to make you think.
