Hi John,

 

We have that exact same mixer. I can get bread flour here. King Authur is
popular here in Canada.

A couple of questions before I pass along any of my bread recipes.  First,
do you know the capasity of the bowl for your stand mixer?  I have a Kitchen
Aid 6-quart Professiona model.  Second, do you have access to bread flour in
your part of the world, particularly the King Arthur Flour brand or Gold
Metal brand?  Let me know and I'll see if my recipes are a fit for you.
Jon

Hi john,

 

I've been on this list for about a year but don't always have time to post.
I have a heavy dutie kitchen aid with the dough hooks and all of that. I
even have the pasta tools for it wwhen I get up the nerve to try them out. I
am married my wife and I are both blind. Right now we have two cats and a
black lab. We hope to have kids in the feature. Thanks for all your help.

I will start sending some of those recipes as soon as I can, including the
bread recipes you asked for.  I should mention, as you're new to the list,
that I'm a stay-at-home Dad with a nine-month-old to take care of, so
finding the time to type out and send a recipe is a real luxury on certain
days.  You're in luck with the bread and bun recipes as I make nearly all of
my own bread from scratch.  Do you have any kind of stand mixer or other
machine to help you with the mixing, or are you doing this by hand?   Jon

Hi John,

 

The sweet and sour pork and the egg plant recipes would be great. I try to
make a lot from scratch as food is very expensive. I use to be from the
states but when I got married I moved to Canada to be with my wife. She is
also blind and ended up landing a job here so this is ware we got stuck
weather we like it here or not lol. Also some good recipes for sandwitch
bread and hamburger and hodog bunns would be great.

 

Thanks.

Yes, that explains a lot.  I couldn't live in a climate more different from
you as I'm in the deserts of Las Vegas, USA.  I'm not sure I'd want to live
in the Arctic, but I definitely dream of living some place cooler with four
seasons and where I can see some rain and snow on a regular basis in the
right season.  My heart is in the Northern Rockys.  As far as the recipes
go, I'll see what I can dig  up.  I have what I think is a good recipe for
sweet and sour pork if you are interested, though it does take a bit of
work.  As far as the cucumbers go, I don't cook with them, but I do use them
often in salads and for cucumbers marinated in vinegar, sometimes with
onions.  Eggplant is also a vegetable I don't cook with very often, but I
have found a great recipe for eggplant Parmesan.  I also have a recipe from
back in my culinary school days for eggplant wraps.  The primary flavor
comes from an olive oil spread enfused with cumin and garlic.  At this time,
that's all I can offer from my own personal collection.  Let me know what
recipes you would like, or if you'd like me to search any other recipes for
you.  The more specific, the better.   Jon

Hi John,

 

I live here in the Artic. We are about a three hour flight from Greenland.
Internet service is not that great up here. It is easiest to get e-mail.
Most sites do not load that well here. I hope that explains a bit on why I
am asking for the recipes verses looking them up myself. I use to do it all
the time when I lived down south. I guess I better go and start my seal stew
before my wife gets home it minus 65 c here today.

Are you able to access and search for recipes on the web?  There are
countless websites out there devoted to recipes, and a few of them are
actually worth visiting more than once.  If you're simply looking for
recipes, I would suggest you start there and see what you find.  While I
don't discourage anyone from sharing recipes here and recipes are certainly
welcome, I prefer that recipes that are shared be ones that the person
posting the recipe has actually made or plans to make in the near future,
and that recipe requests be as specific as possable..  With that, it looks
like you received some excellent tips on making fried rice, which I plan to
read again when I try making fried rice again.

   Jon
