According to some, I've been way to slow in keeping this blog more updated, so ...but hey..in my own defense, when things are slow here..then reporting is going to be slow, but i did get out to the shop this last week and created a project....i needed a cutting board for when i make rolls or biscuits. so i made this one. Its 14 1/2 x 24 i was very pleased with it, there is a funny story here though, as i went to use it for the first time, i put the dough on the board and started to knead it , when all of a sudden the board broke in half. i thought i handled it pretty good by laughing, there i was..first time in its use...I'm all happy doing my dough on the new board and the thing just collapses down the middle, well it got set aside and i finished my biscuits on a small plastic one...so , come Monday , i will return it to the shop where it will be repaired.....so the saying goes...when your making good dough and things go wrong, just crack a smile. Here is the board before the crack.

lox and bagles

things have been kinda slow around here.....as most know i like to make some things with old wood , most of the time, well I've got a couple of projects I'm working on, but with the summer heat and my back problems, getting some time in the shop is not happening to often, so now to the lox and bagels, our good friends the maidls who live in eagle river Alaska, sent us a wonderful care package full of smoked salmon and some smoked halibut, we were into it within the first hour of getting it, oh man..it is wonderful, knowing it was coming, i also tried something i have never done , and that was to bake some home made bagels, they turned out great too, so i will post the proof and let you get a peak of how they turned out....

match made in heaven

Greg and Amanda weren't a surprise to me...the first time i saw Amanda, i said to myself , she would be a great daughter in law...well it happened, and our happy couple now reside in Utah...going to school and having all the adventures that young couples have..including taking care of there Guinea pigs and gold fish...and a kitty as well.......sounds like us when we were young......

top secret

its been made known to the grizzman that there are disgruntled viewers who feel cooking recipes should be posted.......well, ya know some things are just sacred....and especialy ...BREAD OF LIFE.......WELL the grizzman takes all things under consideration.....i would rather share the bread........i will check with my office manager and see what can be done.......we aim to please here at grizzman international.......

time to bake

here it is , Wednesday already...but who's tracking time.....well me , i guess..the grizzman is not a admire of hot summer days...so i look for fall and winter.........well anyway this was a baking day, as most of you know..the grizzman loves to cook,,and bake once in awhile, today i tackled a project Ive wanted to do for some time....DARK PUMPERNICKEL BREAD...... i made three loaves..and if i say so myself......pretty darn good........so if your in the neighborhood, come on bye and have a slice.....we have honey and jam to enhance the sweet tooth...or just gab with me about whats happening in your world........the door is always open.......grizzman
