Chap chae

Our Favourite Sandwhich Bread (King Arthur Flour website)

The turkey meatloaf was nothing short of magical. Who would've thought?! Turkey! But with the minced mushrooms, carrots etc etc, it tasted so freaking good! Also a reliable piece of magic is deep fried pork chops. The chap chae is so much better than the greasy stuff they have in restaurants. And the bread? Perfect, of course. This is the most 'regular' white bread I have ever made.

Health Kick

Crusty Multigrain Baguette (WS)
Eggplant Butternut Squash Tagine (WS)

Bread was made into a boule. I used 1 cup less bread flour that what was called for in the recipe. Baking rack was too high thus crust browned a little too much. Otherwise recipe was great.

Tagine was surprisingly good. However, I tried to make Israeli couscous for the first time and burnt it a bit. Next time, slower fire, watch closely.
