-After a remarkably warm and rainy day yesterday that wiped out our White Christmas snow we are back to wintery sub-zero temperatures. Overnight we also managed to replace some of the snow that we lost due to yesterday's rain. Given the current forecast it looks as though we may be able to ride this wintery mix into the new year. Hurrah.
-Because of some recent holiday baking miscalculations I recently found myself with an extra litre of buttermilk in my fridge. Jeannette, as one who seems to have been completely unaware of the existence of buttermilk until a few days ago, has been less than helpful when it comes to suggestions for how to use this stuff before it spoils.
Fortunately I am on the case and actively trying to come up with reasonable uses for this specialty dairy product.
This morning I threw some into some pumpkin bran muffins with positive results. Actually, I think I am now going to be disappointed with buttermilk-less pumpkin bran muffins.
When I next have to make bread, probably in a few days, I will try to toss some in.
Even with this two projects (one completed and one still in the conceptual stages) I will still probably have between one to two cups of buttermilk left. Hopefully I can come up with something reasonable in the next few days.
-I am hoping that later today I can finish off the rest of the turkey by preparing a turkey pot-pie. Once this is taken care of I think I will be through with Christmas leftovers.
