Here is my partially prepped menu for delivery tomorrow also on the menu is "Cashew Paella" and a pear and vanilla cake.
I will photograph the breads when they come out of oven...cranberry walnut and mixed fruit with amaretto.
I will post more photos tomorrow, but here is something interesting why Americans are so fond of pancakes and waffles for breakfast.
When the first pioneers came over,to America, they found that transporting their weighing scales was impossible as they easily got broken when being transported by ship or covered wagon, instead they learned from the old gold prospectors and miners, to measure everything with an enamel coffee mug.
As they were very often in transit somewhere on the plains, it became impossible to make breads from yeast as there was no where to safely prove & bake them, so quick breads came into fashion...pancakes, waffles and what are now known as hotcakes or biscuits...the original scone, mostly minus the eggs, made with soured buttermilk, flour and baking powder.
Biscuits and pancakes helped feed crowds for pennies as did the humble dried bean/split pea.
I do believe that green split pea soup is in every European descendants DNA along with lentil and buckwheat in some fashion.
