castironguy December 2nd and I took the day off. Too cold to do much except stay inside and make hot fancy #pizza for #lunch! Blog about it too…

castironguy I've spent the last 3 years thru the pandemic living off #sourdough toast for my #breakfast. Not that I'm sick of bread or anything, but I'm trying to branch out a bit, eat healthier and get a bit more fiber in my diet. Morning oatmeal with fruit and a drizzle of fruit syrup for a touch of sweetness is on the menu these days. Great, though I might need to research oatmeal toppings and mix it up soon.

castironguy We ate authentic New York #bagels almost every morning last week, and on the way home the kid was lamenting how the grocery store version wasn't gonna compare. Sourdough to the rescue? Of course there was a recipe online and this stack just came hot out of the oven for a couple days worth of breakfast back in Edmonton. #baking

castironguy Pastrami on Rye? Yes, please! #newyork #food

castironguy Not quite on every street corner but there's always a #food cart close by when you're hungry. These guys made a mean egg sandwich. #newyork

castironguy While the girls pushed through their jet lag, I wandered out into the morning streets to score some fuel. Bagels from Pick a Bagel, still warm, will keep us going thru to lunch I hope. #bagels #newyork

castironguy I was experimenting with weird and wonderful flours for my sourdough and I came across coffee flour. At the recommended 20% the bread was black, bitter and almost inedible. But I'm going to try again with a much lower fraction and hope for something better.
