Buying Club 2011 - The Goods - Week 10

This is a weird week.  I ordered the wrong stuff.  Horray for the freezer. 

Sausage and Peppers and Potatoes

I didn't know what to call this, it just doesn't sound like me.


We were ordering food from the buying club a few weeks ago and Sous Chef Brian was all, "I could go for some sausage," and I was all, "Ew."  And then he was all, "If there was a sausage you'd eat, what kind would it be?" And I stared at the list of foods on the website and I said, hesitantly, "When I was a kid, I liked kielbasa."

Kale Salad with Strawberries and Candied Walnuts

I'm not over kale salad yet.   

I'm worried that kale season might be over, as it wasn't offered in my buying club this go-round and typically there are two producers offering kale.  


What will I do this winter?

Cinnamon Swirl Bread

I've been lax about making bread.  November - January is so busy anyway, I haven't been making the time.  I very intentionally don't order bread through my buying club, because I'm planning on making it myself, and then I don't and everything is on a tortilla.   Just the other day I went to the supermarket for fruit and a couple of staples and I was drawn in by the bread and bought some sandwich rolls, since I knew I wasn't going to make them this week.  

Well, it's a new year. Let's make some bread.  Not just bread, either, let's make some sweet and warm and cinnamony bread. 

This recipe makes three loaves, which I think is perfect because you get one to freeze, one to give away and one for right now.   If you don't have three loaf pans, do cut down the recipe. 

Happy New Year!

Good morning.  Today is about Sodastream seltzer with whatever fruit we have on hand in it.  Also, hiding from Mummers.
