Instinct Override

Edie off at school, B out with Mil, I got to focus on having some fun in the kitchen, overriding my other instinct to just sleep.


TODAY'S COOKING:
Potato knishes, chocolate hazelnut knishes: Made mini sized 2-3 bite knishes to bring to a kiddie hannukah party tomorrow, and some for a family gathering next week. Choco knishes were an experiment, losing the nutella and working to balance dutch cocoa, hazelnut paste and shortening. Not there yet, but in the right direction.


Wholewheat 10-grain bread: Busted out the bread machine, used my standard recipe but added 2 tbsp of vital gluten, on the idea it'll strengthen the bread, make it heartier. It did, but not enough, and it fell apart as I was slicing it beyong the 2 slices I needed for my sandwich. Maybe it fell apart because it was still warm? Hmmmm.
