As far as the bread goes I'll make it, eat a bunch, freeze some, then toast it when it comes from the freezer. Something as good as this has to be savored. You made me giggle when you said baked beans are exotic. In this country they are at the bottom of the food chain. Very inexpensive, but packed with protein. I'll eat these in the place of meat. (I have to choke down most meats. Needless to say I don't eat much meat.)Angie's frugal Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07501238383146880477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-809691927256994512.post-11826367891364873802015-03-26T07:00:00.276-07:002015-03-26T07:00:00.276-07:00In the USA concord grapes are the ones used to mak...In the USA concord grapes are the ones used to make juice and sometimes jams by large companies. I love the pure taste of these grapes. Fresh grapes are either, purple globe, green, or regular purple. My grandfather grew grapes for wine and juice. I'm not sure what type they were, but he brought them from Italy. Thank you for the cultural lesson. Broadening horizons is one of my must do things. When I get a minute, I'll research the subject.

Or better yet, a Hoffman's at Rudy's!

On our visits back home to central ny, we would buy a case of Grandma Brown beans to bring back with us. They are the best! doohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09176716540234156004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-809691927256994512.post-51061763460025404192015-03-25T13:30:05.122-07:002015-03-25T13:30:05.122-07:00Angie, I forgot something: The juice you bought i...Angie, I forgot something: The juice you bought is made out of concord grapes. This sort of grapes is quite unwanted<br />in most parts of Europe because of the special "fox-taste "(fox-ton). This is really not everybody´s taste. I live in a wine-<br />region (Kaiserstuhl) . But it´s a fact that concord grapes are healthy and they are very vigorous, hardly any diseases.<br />So enjoy your juice!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-809691927256994512.post-87987779463112756652015-03-25T13:04:51.160-07:002015-03-25T13:04:51.160-07:00On one of your pictures I saw radishes put in wate...On one of your pictures I saw radishes put in water? What is the reason for that? As to ciabatta, it should be eaten on the same day or the next. So your friend who covets this bread , as you said, should live nearby, But that´s only my opinion.<br />Baked beans is something that´s hardly eaten in our household, it´s a bit "exotic" for us. We look forward for fresh peas<br />(garden), that´s our favorite vegetable. I sow many rows of them. Also very good for freezing.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
