Boy, Am I Steamed

Steamed Sole - pg. 331

Yeah, well, besides the bullshit that's going on in Wisconsin and Ohio.... Don't even get me started.

Other than going to yoga and the grocery store, I literally spent the day in the kitchen. I'm searching for a good lavender cupcake. Tried 2 different batches today, although neither one was the lavender cupcake of my dreams. Topped them both with a lemoncello frosting which seemed a good complement for the lavender flavor. ...Not to mention that I washed all those same dishes 3 times!

And I finished and baked my second no-knead rye loaf. This one came out much better than the first rye loaf. I just let that sucker ferment away for a full 48 hours! Nice to know you can mix the dough and just ignore it.

For dinner, I tacked steaming fish, dover sole in this case. This was somewhat difficult since I don't really have whatever appropriate equipment you're supposed to use to steam fish, but it was still okay. And quick. And seems pretty fool-proof. Served with oven roasted butternut squash and potatoes. And the rye bread, of course.

Whew. I'm pooped.
