Sourdough Update and Sourdough Dinner Roll Recipe

The sourdough starter continues to do well.  I feed it every other day.
At this point I am keeping on the kitchen counter instead of in the fridge. 
My second recipe with left over starter was to make sourdough rolls.
 
I have scoured the Internet looking for sourdough recipes. 
 
This Sourdough Dinner Roll Recipe was just what I was looking for.
We ate some with our dinner and the rest were frozen for a later date.
They turned out beautifully, soft, light and excellent!

Recipes to Try List

I admit it I am a Foodie tried and true.
I love to cook and anything that has to do with cooking.
I grew up with a mother that was a "from scratch" cook.  You know what I mean.
As I gain wisdom (yes, age) in the kitchen I find myself wanting to
be more like mom and make things "from scratch". 
Here are a few of my recipes from my recent "To Try Pile"
I am looking forward to trying these.

What's in your to try pile?

A Trip to the EuroDeli

We are lucky enough to have a European Deli not too far away.
Brad and I love drop by once a month or so.
The place is a veritable treasure trove of
European deli meats, cheeses,
pastries, sausages, pates.
We are throughly enjoying all our spoils from the EuroDeli Trip!

This trip we brought home:
Polish Cheese, Veal Loaf, Gypsy Bacon and Herbed Stuffed Bacon
(left to right in picture above)

Below: (left to right) Parma Prosciutto and snack sausages

Below: Teawurst
(This was new for us and hard to find.  It's a spreadable smoky tea sausage. 
German's spread this on crackers or crostini at "Tea Time". 
It's very similar to liverwurst or Braunschweiger)

Ciao! Amy
