The English Muffin Experiment: Homemade vs. Store-Bought

I just did a homemade batch using my old 1978 Presto electric griddle. I used the recipe out of Peter Reinhart's Bread Baker's Apprentice book. It's pretty basic, much like one bread recipe that I do. Outstanding. No more store bought for us.

Scallop tostadas

Nice clean presentation. The radishes caught my eye - I just love them.

What temperature do you like your food?

If it's freshly cooked, I like it hot. If a dish is past its prime though, temp doesn't matter.

I like summer fruits room temp or even warmer. Never in the fridge, except maybe watermelon. I used to have a peach tree in my backyard, and there was nothing like grabbing one off on a nice summer day.

Small Easter Cross Rye Bread

Today a dozen of these 9 ounce loaves were baked to be into our traditional Polish Easter baskets. Each year, traditional foods such as ham, Polish sausage, horseradish, sweets, and salt are put into the basket and blessed at the local church.
