Grandma’s Country White Bread -Quick, easy, and tastes great!!
Ingredients
Luke-warm water: 3 cups
Sugar: 1/4 cup
Yeast: 1 1/2 Tbsp.
Oil: 1/3 cup
Salt: 1 Tbsp.
Unbleached ground white wheat flour: 6 – 7 cups (regular all-purpose flour is also fine; about 8 more cups of flour will be needed. This will result in a softer, less-coarse bread.)
Vital wheat gluten: 1 Tbsp. (only if using whole white wheat flour)
How To Make Grandma’s Country White Bread
1. Start by dissolving yeast, in a large mixing bowl, in warm water and sugar and let sit for 10 minutes.
2. You’ll want to add the oil, the salt and flour (starting with 6 cups of flour) and mix everything well.
3. Now, knead the dough thoroughly for 6 to 10 minutes, or until everything is incorporated (that’s right, just till the dough is smooth, elastic, very slightly sticky, and pulls away from the bowl).
4. Whilw kneading the dough, be sure to add more flour as needed. And please repeat the process until dough reaches the desired consistency.
5. Using a dish towel or plastic wrap, cover the bowl of dough. Let rise until doubled, it takes at least 1 hour depending on how warm your kitchen is. It’s wise to place the covered bowl inside the oven with the oven light on, and another bowl of warm water sitting on the lower rack so to speed up this process.

Braised Red Wine Short Ribs 😋😋
Ingredients
2 tablespoons kosher for Passover vegetable oil
6 flanken-style short ribs with bones, cut 2 inches thick (about 4 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 carrots, chopped
3 celery ribs, sliced
6 garlic cloves, smashed
One 750-milliliter bottle kosher for Passover dry red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon
4 thyme sprigs
1 rosemary sprig
3 cups chicken stock
Directions
In a large skillet, heat the oil. Season the ribs with salt and pepper. Add them to the skillet and cook over moderate heat, turning once, until browned and crusty, about 18 minutes. Transfer the ribs to a shallow baking dish in a single layer.
Add the onion, carrots, and celery to the skillet and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until very soft and lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 5 minutes. Add the wine and herbs and bring to a boil over high heat. Pour the hot marinade over the ribs and let cool. Cover and refrigerate overnight, turning the ribs once.
Preheat the oven to 350°. Transfer the ribs and marinade to a large casserole, preferably cast-iron. Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Cover and cook in the lower third of the oven for 1 1/2 hours, until the meat is tender but not falling apart. Uncover and braise for 45 minutes longer, turning the ribs once or twice, until the sauce is reduced by about half and the meat is very tender.
With a slotted spoon or spider, transfer the meat to a clean shallow baking dish, discarding the bones as they fall off. Strain the sauce into a heatproof measuring cup and skim off as much fat as possible. Pour the sauce over the meat; there should be about 2 cups. Keep warm in a saucepan over the lowest possible heat.
Preheat the broiler. Broil the meat, turning once or twice, until glazed and sizzling, about 10 minutes. Transfer the meat to plates, spoon the sauce on top and serve.

Cheesy Garlic Butter Mushroom Stuffed Chicken

Ingredients
Mushrooms:
4 tablespoons butter
8 ounces (250 grams) brown mushrooms, sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
Chicken:
4 chicken breasts, skinless and boneless
Salt and pepper, to season
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried parsley
8 slices mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese
Garlic Parmesan Cream Sauce:
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 large cloves garlic minced or finely chopped
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1-1/2 cups half and half or use reduced fat cream or evaporated milk*
1/2 cup finely grated fresh Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper, to your tastes
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch cornflour mixed with 2 teaspoons of water (OPTIONAL FOR A THICKER SAUCE)
2 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
Instructions
Chicken:
Preheat oven to 200°C or 400°F.
Melt butter in a large (over 12-inch or 30 cm) oven proof pan or skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute). Add in mushrooms, salt and pepper (to your tastes), and parsley. Cook while stirring occasionally until soft. Set aside and allow to cool while preparing your chicken.
Pat breasts dry with a paper towel. Season with salt, pepper, onion powder and dried parsley. Rub each piece to evenly coat in seasoning.
Horizontally slice a slit through the thickest part of each breast to form a pocket. Place 2 slices of mozzarella into each breast pocket.
Divide the mushroom mixture into four equal portions and fill each breast with the mushroom mixture (leave the juices in the pan for later. If there are any left over mushrooms, don't worry. You'll use them later). Top the mushroom mixture with 1 tablespoon of parmesan cheese per breast. Seal with two or three toothpicks near the opening to keep the mushrooms inside while cooking.
Heat the same pan the mushrooms were in along with the pan juices (the garlic butter will start to brown and take on a 'nutty' flavour). Add the chicken and sear until golden. Flip and sear on the other side until golden. Cover pan and continue cooking in preheated oven for a further 20 minutes, or until completely cooked through the middle and no longer pink.
Serve, with pan juices and any remaining mushrooms, on top of pasta, rice or steamed vegetables.
(To make the optional cream sauce, transfer chicken to a warm plate, keeping all juices in the pan.)
Sauce:
Fry the garlic in the leftover pan juices until fragrant (about 1 minute). Reduce heat to low heat, and add the mustard and half and half (or cream).
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and add in any remaining mushrooms and parmesan cheese. Allow the sauce to simmer until the parmesan cheese has melted slightly. (If the sauce is too runny for your liking, add the cornstarch/water mixture into the centre of the pan and mix through fast to combine into the sauce. It will begin to thicken immediately).
Season with a little salt and pepper to your taste. Add in the parsley and the chicken back into the pan to serve.

Hypatia of Alexandria was the first known woman scientist and the last famous Neoplatonist philosopher of Alexandria, Egypt.

12/12/2021

DMX once stopped mid-performance to say a prayer. The late Tiny Lister, (Deebo from "Friday" movie), was in the audience, and he was so moved by the prayer that he walked up onto the stage, and he and DMX shared a tearful embrace.

In a world filled with mainstream rappers, I don't know of another rapper in history who openly spoke of God more than DMX.

It is sad that trauma from childhood follows many of us into adulthood, and prevents us from finding our true purpose.

Deebo passed away 1 year ago today.

R.I.P DMX & Deebo 🙏🏽
