Cranky made dinner tonight. Pork schnitzel with German potato salad and onion & cucumber salad.
While slicing the cucumbers, he cut off the tip of his finger (& nail) on the mandoline.
An hour later, after enlisting my help in staunching and dressing his bleeding finger, he continued pounding the pork* until flat, thereby reopening his wound. Also he set off the smoke alarms while cooking. TWICE.
Dinner was really good, though.

A week ago I realized I was running low on yeast and all of the stores around me seemed to be sold out. Out of desperation, I started the process of creating a sourdough starter from scratch from wild captured yeast. It took more than a week to mature to a usable state, but it's finally paying off and I have some delicious sourdough.
Just in time for bread to be easily available in stores again.

Honestly we bought an extra pack, so if you want it, just holler. It's good through 2021.
...or anyone else who wants it.

You couldn't buy it Sunday. It was risen.
I appreciate the offer! I did end up already finding a big bag of restaurant yeast right after I had started the sourdough though, so now I have both kinds handy. Turns out a small indian grocery store near me is fully stocked still, so I managed to grab some bulk bags of yeast, rice and flour.

Please tell me you're going to crisp those taco shells in the oven before eating them.
That looks awesome! I'll give it a try. Thanks.
I've done this at home myself. As long as you're using fresh ingredients and keeping the salt down, the ones you make at home are quite a bit healthier than you would get from Taco Bell. There is no reason to feel guilty.
Try doing a breakfast one next time! Scrambled eggs, with low fat cheese and sausage crumble. Add a bit of salsa to it and it's great!
We love "breakfast sandwiches" here. Just toast some bread or bagel or English muffin, then in a Tupperware about the same size as your bread you microwave a beaten egg. Put a spreadable condiment on the bread, then cheese, the put the hot egg on top of the cheese and add a topping vegetable if you want to finish the sandwich.
I just made my grandfather’s chicken curry but substituted two types of mushrooms. It has a thick flour and butter sauce. Thousands of calories, but it’s spicy and good.
Pairs well with half frozen Diet Coke.
